mariposaman Maybe the guy has irritable bowel syndrome. With that you gotta go right now. It would be considered a disability. If he doesn't that is just plain wrong.

Chrissy @Java09 (3075) • United States 14 Jan 10

I think of the animals that are in cages in the zoo,I don't think a wild animal is happy like that.I think they prefer to be roaming out in the jungle somewheres.They belong out in the wild.It's nice to look at them,but they want...

mariposaman I think wild animals belong in the wild. However there is less and less wild. As man takes over land for food cultivation, roads and houses, the animals have to go elsewhere. Sometimes there is no elsewhere, so they are extinct. As the world population of...

CoffeeAnyone @CoffeeAnyone (3210) • Canada 19 Aug 09

Is a Turnip a Rutabaga or is a Rutabaga a Turnip in your grocery stores? When I was a young girl living in Atlantic Canada; a Turnip looked like what I now know to be a Rutabaga in Western Canada. This baffled me for a long time...

Are you a pillow fluffer?

mario_stevens @mario_stevens (6971) • Malaysia 15 Jul 10

A good soft and fluffy pillow is always nice to sleep on. Like those pillows that they have at those expensive hotels...so very nice and fluffy. I’ve been such a fan of nice fluffy pillows ever since my parents...

mariposaman Absolutely. Feather pillows eventually bunch up and polyester fill seems to flatten. Without fluffing, my neck seems to be at an odd angle, I guess my head is not sinking into the pillow and my neck is not getting support. Polyester is the hardest to fluff...

mariposaman I pick them up in a jar and put them outside. There is no rational reason to kill spiders. The kind of freaking out some people do when they see spiders always puzzled me. If you reacted that way against people with curly hair or cheese sandwiches people would...

Eating and working at the computer

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 22 Jun 10

I have this bad habit of working at the computer and eating the same time. I usually make a mess on my desk like that, but somehow I just continue to do it. It is much time saving by doing it. I just don't want to be eating...

Online Shopping: Does sites which offer no shipping charges attract you more?

wondericequeen @wondericequeen (7876) • Hong Kong 13 Mar 09

For me, it always does (of course since I live in Hong Kong, it has to offer international shipping too). I tend to like to order from sites which offer free shipping more. I "feel" like it would be cheaper. What about you?

mariposaman Free shipping is always an attraction because too much shipping costs can make the products in some cases more expensive than going to the store around the corner where they do not have shipping charges and you have your product right away.
