Midwesternnights I sure would! I never want children, not because I loathe them; they're just not for me nor my partner. You really struck a chord with me when you said if the government would institute a population control policy. I thenk that is a splended idea. Thanks...

Can Friendship stay for forever?

mari123 @mari123 (1861) • China 25 Sep 07

Some people say friendship lasts forever. Do you really believe that? How long do you think friendship could possibly last, if not forever?

forever

friendship

9 responses

Midwesternnights I think that friendship can last forever if both parties do everything to keep it alive. It's always important to stay in touch with those you care for, and becoming neglectful only hurts the relationship in the long-run.

Midwesternnights I wish I pre-shopped for gifts. I always wait until it's too late (mainly because I never have any money).

What brand of chocolate is your favorite? Do you like Hershey, or one of the other brands best? Also, what type do like best? White, milk, or dark? I like dark chocolate the best, but they all taste great!

Midwesternnights My favorit chocolate that is well-known would have to be Lint. If I'm just picking up a candy bar from the store, I try to go for Nestley as they're chocolate is quite rich. Hershey is just too bland for my liking. Dark, light or white, you ask? For sure...

Midwesternnights The food that I could eat every day and never get tired of would be stuffed grape leaves. The flavors are just so well blended together, and you can always garnish them with something diffferent (a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint).

money

popularity

1 response

Midwesternnights Part of me wants to pick the money, while another part wouldn't mind being popular. All in all though, I think I'd take being popular. I'd rather have the company of people, more than the company of dollar bill after dollar bill. This was a great topic!

Will you give your baby away?

Ellie @ellie26 (4139) • Malaysia 23 Sep 07

Supposing that you are pregnant and broke, have a job but salary is not enough, will you consider giving your baby away? Will you give him or her away so that he or she can have a better life? Do you think giving away a child is...

Midwesternnights Personally, I don't think adoption is an act of selfishness. I'd rather give my baby away into a loving, caring home, than attempt to raise it when I know it isn't possible.

Midwesternnights It's fifty fifty regarding team-work for me. Most of the time I'd rather work by myself, as I find it easier to do things that way, but when it comes to big projects I love the help from other people. If I'm not careful I get deluged, and it's always good to...

Midwesternnights I'm terrible when it comes to eating out. I always think 'okay, this is what I'll get; I loved it last time, so I'm bound to now', and always end up deciding on getting something totally different. On the last few excursions out, I've read the menu before...

Midwesternnights I've found that Hershey isn't as rich as Nestley is. Nestley has this deep, invoking taste to it that just screams 'eat more, eat more!'
