How many times have you changed your avatar?

gitfiddleplayer @gitfiddleplayer (10362) • United States 7 Jun 08

I've only changed it once, I started with my mug but then I found my current one and I'll probably stick with it because it's recognizable for those who are my friends. Do you change yours frequently to keep things mysterious or...

marytoad Hmmm...well, I usually leave mine as my picture, because I am in MLM (multi-level marketing) and I find that people just generally trust you more & you are more believable when you have an actual picture & use your "real" name, lol! My husband had used an...

webeishere @webeishere (36313) • United States 14 May 08

That is right. You read this correctly. But, before you jump to any conclusions, realize that this is just for a couple days. I am waiting on UPS to deliver a modem and also waiting for me to be hooked up to high speed broadband....

kynni204 @kynni204 (2031) • United States 2 Apr 07

Do you exercise regularly?

edzingers @edzingers (330) • Philippines 2 Apr 07

Will you pick up litter in the streets?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 2 Apr 07

You watch a scene from your darkest nightmares unfold before your eyes. You stood there in scraps of rags, all dirtied, hair disheveled, eyes bloodshot. You saw the restaurant waiter toss out a bag of garbage and you hurried...

marytoad Yes, it IS sad, isn't it? We were never set to die until the fall of man, then he was changed to a fallible creature. One that was succeptible to disease, etc. We are just here for a certain time, & then it is regrettably time to go. I feel that we can,...

marytoad We all have our own opinions. Your neighbor should respect your opinions of church just as she would any other belief that you have. People who try to force beliefs on others have other, deeper problems. She is now being rude & disrespectful of your...

Can a women really be president?

bgreg2 @bgreg2 (45) • United States 20 Jan 07
