re-usable bags

tiffiny @tiffiny (872) • United States 17 Jan 08

These tote bags are popping up everywhere. They have them for the grocery store and everything. I think it's a neat idea but is it bad if I still use plastic? I mean I recycle it so what's the big deal right? I don't see why all...

Do you see a penny and pick it up?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 28 Feb 08

I used to pick up every penny I saw as it is good luck to pick it up. At least that is what my mom used to tell me. These days I rarely bend over to pick up a penny, I guess I am just too lazy. I'll stoop for a nickel. I know a...

Reading a book you disliked

mrtimharry @mrtimharry (1180) 1 Mar 08

Have you ever read a book even though you didn't like it? I don't mean when you were at school and were forced to read it, but in my case I read the Da Vinci code, because everyone said how good it was. I found that it was a...

MellieC I have had to read books for reading groups. I was hoping they would be good but once I got into them I was sorely mistaken. The first book I never finished was Wicked. I hear so many good review but no..I couldn't get into it.

MellieC I love it! I go to a weightloss clinic (when I can afford it of course) and pay about 145 for a months supply. It completely eliminates my hunger almost to the point where I have to remind myself to eat. I lost about 10lbs in a month on it!

MellieC OMG I am in love with them! I usually grab a Rockstar or a Red Bull but I can handle a Monster too. I'm a big coffee drinker so my tolerance to caffiene is very high so the effects don't really get to me that bad.
