It seems like we're set up just to be let down.... ; Wants.

mamabeezy @mamabeezy (172) • United States 12 Feb 09

why do we have wants? most of the things that I truly want, it seems like i'll never have. i just can't make sense out of it.. wants are added things that we don't NEED. or it's a specific type of thing that we do...

mareem I think wants, in general, stem from the longing to be happy, or content, or fulfilled, or whatever along that line. Those wants stem from what we either see or what someone else tells us will fulfill that longing. You see how happy someone seems when they...

Could It Just Be Coincidence Or A Sign Of Something?

singlemommy @singlemommy (2955) • United States 12 Feb 09

I have always believed in signs, but sometimes when I think things are signs, it turns out to just be coincidence, so how can you know the difference? Okay, here is my situation. Most of you know about my crush on the FedEx...

Do you prefer to bake or fry

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12588) • United States 11 Feb 09

certain foods? Like chicken for instance. Which do you like better baked chicken or fried? I think fried chicken tastes better, even if it is bad for us. My grandmother used to bake hamburgers on a cookie sheet to cut down on...

mareem Personally, I think fried foods get a bad rap because they all get lumped together. Of course, if you eat nothing but fried foods, it isn't going to be healthy for you. But having some fried chicken or a fried burger now and then isn't going to harm you. The...

6 responses

mareem I can't tell you why all "good girls" that go for bad boys do, but, as one who did myself, I can tell you about me. Of course, in my day, "bad" wasn't usually nearly as bad as it is today, so there is a big distinction there! Back in the 1960's, when I was in...

Ever heard of this kind of Berry?

koalatbs @koalatbs (2229) • United States 11 Feb 09

A friend of mine once brought me back a small jar of jelly when she went out of state, back to her home in Oregon. The jelly was "marionberry". I'd never ever heard of it before and was a little reluctant to try it but, oh man.......
