do you believe in recycling?

arkaf61 @arkaf61 (10881) • Canada 14 Feb 07

I always recycle and make sure my kids do the same. I thought I was making a difference and that it was a good thing. In my city garbage is collected in one day, and recycling in another, but in other ones it's done at the same...

mergl81 I think more people should recycle. If everyone would the environmetn would be so much better. They should make it a law everywhere to recycle. It's just sad if people are putting forth the effort to do it and they just dump it all in the same landfill...

Do you guys think its ok to borrow things or let your children borrow things?

devideddi @devideddi (1435) • United States 15 Feb 07

I love the idea of borrowing a cup of sugar from a neighbor. It's neat to think you have a whole neighborhood of potential grocery resources when I am in a pinch or forgot something. And I don't mind at all when someone asks...

mergl81 I think it's okay to borrow things that are not expensive. I always get nervous when borrowing expensive things anyway so I'd rather not. Also if you are going to let someone borrow something make sure it's someone you can trust. I don't mind letting people...

Perhaps there's too many opportunities posted

the_dreamer2005 @the_dreamer2005 (1175) • United States 15 Feb 07

I'm all for people posting about a good opportunity that they know from proof of payment is good and not a scam. But I found it now frustrating because I see many posts about a new opportunity but they don't really know if it will...

mergl81 I completely agree with you. I think if people want to post the sites they use here they should wait until they know for sure that they are going to get paid. There are too many scams out there to try them all. It wastes time.

Do cats and pets help you live longer.

cheetah311 @cheetah311 (343) • United States 12 Feb 07

mergl81 This is probably true if you have a well behaved pet. My dog drives me nuts. I think she ups my blood pressure. I guess we just have a personality clash. She's more my husbands dog than mine anyway. I guess it is nice though when she's calm and snuggles on the...

What is your earliest memory?

rosie_123 @rosie_123 (6113) 7 Feb 07

I read somewhere, that no one really remembers anything until they are at least 5 years old! But I don't think that is true. My first memory was when I was just 18 months old! Not a very nice one, - I will spare you the gory...
