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.

How many Cars do you have in your House?

LightninStrike @LightninStrike (5915) • Saint Vincent And The Grenadines 12 Nov 07

Unlike most of my friend's families, in my family we have only had one car traditionally. It wasn't really necessary to have one. Most people think that two cars are really essential and they're often fooling themselves, creating...

estherlou @estherlou (5015) • United States 11 Nov 07

MellieC Ugh! I hate the price of healthy foods. Its like they set you up to be fat! Its soo much cheaper to eat at say McD's than get a healthy meal. Its disgusting to think you can eat all that crap for 99c but fruits and veggies and healthy foods are soo expensive!...

Should we compare ourselves with others?

mari123 @mari123 (1861) • China 22 Sep 07

MellieC This is a good question. I don't think you can help it. Its human nature to be competitive, at least in my opinion. A little competition is good. It keeps you healthy and motivated but sometimes its hard to keep from getting obsessive about it.
