loujac3 I feel for you. I have a sister that is a year younger and everyone treated us like twins. My sister is abusive and much of the time out of control. I finally had to get away from her. I lived away from her for years and then moved to spend time with her and...

I Kissed My Neighbor and It Felt Pretty Good.

lloydanthony111 @lloydanthony111 (4698) • United States 13 Aug 08

The woman next door to me is a single lady. We've been friends for about 7 seven years. She's a very successful, independent and attractive woman. She has a lot of cookouts and parties at her house. I've met most of her family...

loujac3 Lloyd, If it feels right and both of you are consenting, then by all means, go for it. Nobody gets along 100% of the time. You did the best thing by agreeing to disagree. Just go with the flow and follow your heart. Life is too short to worry about what...

I am seeking advice for all you laptop users out there. I was just wondering if most of you uses laptop cooling stands, the ones with fans and stuff. Because my laptop heats up quickly at some days and when it does it just shuts...

What are the things that turn you off ?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (14078) • Philippines 10 Aug 08

There are several things that turn off a man or a woman. As for me, I am usually turned off by a loud and boastful man. When he brags about how big a baseball star he was/is, when he winks at every woman he sees, when he seems so...

loujac3 I have to agree with you. I call men that are loud and boastful, "Show Boaters." They brag about themselves and I find this annoying. I recently started dating a wonderful man that is not like that at all. He is attentive and sweet. He doesn't have to brag...

loujac3 Ahhhhh, blueberries! I always start by rinsing them well and picking out debris like all the leaves. Then, spread them out on a towel to absorb most of the water. Spread the berries out in a jelly roll pan, the cookie sheet with the four sides, that you have...

What keeps you awake at night?

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 7 Aug 08

Are you a worrier, noisy neighbours or just can't sleep? Many of us have difficulty sleeping occasionally. I used to have a very stressful job and would often find myself lying awake worrying about something which I could do...

loujac3 I tend to over think things. My mind races and goes from one subject to another. I suffer from depression and this aggravates the sleep problem. I find that I sometimes have to take medication to stop the racing thoughts so that I can sleep. Anxiety is at the...

She is 24 and he is 32. They have been planning a wedding for a year so my son has been working his butt off to save money since she wants a huge one that they can't really afford. She's very controlling and self-centered (and I'm...

loujac3 This is a decision that he has to make. As observers, we see her for what she is. She is flighty and wants things her way. The fact that she spends so much time away from the home and out with friends is a sure sign that she is not mature enough to enter a...

The Back to School Sales lately are just unbelievable!

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 4 Aug 08

We don't even have any kids in the house anymore, but yesterday, I just couldn't resist the sales at the local Staples. They had Mead Composition 100 page notebooks for 25 cents each! And they had the 70 page spiral notebooks for...

loujac3 Well now, who doesn't love a bargain or freebie? I get excited over just smelling that new box of Crayola crayons. What a rush! I have no use for them but I sure love the smell. I will be over by Staples today and I plan to sneak in and take a sniff and maybe...

I live in the Us - Should I have to learn Spanish to adapt to changes?

deemazing @deemazing (395) • United States 3 Aug 08

I am not racist or prejudice in any way, shape, or form. I value having people from other countries in the United States because it allows me an opportunity to learn more about them and their culture. I have lived in the United...

loujac3 I think this is a two way street. If we should have to learn Spanish then new comers should have to learn English. When one adapts to a new country they should be required to learn the language of that country. I am taking a positive attitude about learning a...

Expose three Inches of your underwear in public and get fined $25!

marina321 @marina321 (4556) 4 Aug 08

Came across this on a mini-poll somewhere - Apparently local leaders in Lynwood, Chicago have ordained that anyone who exposes more than 3 inches of their underwear in public will be fined $25. I think this is...

loujac3 I am in favor of this. I do not care to see someone's nasty greying shorts exposed. It looks as if they never change their underwear. It is even worse when the person is going around trying to hold their pants up. There is nothing appealing about that style at...

Going canoeing tomorrow if the weather permits. Have you ever gone canoeing?

writersedge @writersedge (22563) • United States 3 Aug 08

I go once a year with a friend. We have tried for two or three times a year, but that hasn't happened yet. We're just lucky to get one time in. It has rained almost every day this year, so wish us luck. So have you ever gone...

loujac3 It sounds like a good time to me. I used to canoe alot and living in Alaska gave us plenty of wonderful lakes and ponds to view the wild life. I hope that the weather is good for you and even if it rains, have fun!

loujac3 Nasty! You are brave to get that close. I grew up in the midwest and it wasn't until I moved to Oregon that I really started seeing so many of the widows. My daughter is really into insects and she has quite a collection. Personally, I can do without seeing...

loujac3 I think that most families have the outcast or problem person. I would rather walk away than to argue over material things. You are fortunate that your family planned ahead. It is better that way and everyone knows what to expect. I pray that your family...
