I'm actually going to pass on a coupon for a free product

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 31 Jan 11

This would make people who know me well practically faint. I got a coupon for a free noodle bowl at White Castle and was going to redeem it today--until I went to the Laughing Noodle website and saw the nutrition...

moondance61 Hiya dragon54u, Well I must say you do make me giggle, but seriously it is good to hear that there are other people in this world who will pass up food that does sound amazingly unhealthy. I do make my own chicken noodle soup, I am a great lover of noodles and...

That was weird--my Zone Alarm just warned me to get off myLot!

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 16 Dec 10

I received a notification that a friend started a discussion so I clicked on it and the minute the page loaded, Zone Alarm gave me a RED flag warning that the site was dangerous and was phishing information. I thought maybe I got...

moondance61 Hello dragon54u, I have never had such a thing happen to me when I am on line but contacting admin was the sensible thing to do. I know that they are out there but what kind of satisfaction is there to be had by doing all of this spam nonsense. Phishing is a...

At what point would you seek public assistance?

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 17 Dec 10

I just heard a blurb on the radio about a woman seeking assistance with her heating bills. I think everyone should be able to be warm in the winter but this struck me wrong because I hold different values than she apparently does....

moondance61 Hi dragon54u, Yes, I am afraid I wholeheartedly agree with you, TV's and gaming systems are not necessary, and as they will burn more power in your house they are better to be sold when you have money worries rather than asking for a handout. Just like you I...

I got a very educational email about Christmas today!

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 10 Dec 10

Ever wonder about the 12 Days of Christmas song and why the heck anyone would give all that stuff--or want it?! Here's what I found out in an email my sister sent me: From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not...

moondance61 Hiya dragon54u, I must admit I never really understood any of the meanings of this song. Thank you so much for the enlightenment. I suppose there will be meaning in all of the Carols and different songs we sing all year round. After all, the old ones will have...

why can't I sleep

nobbsy123 @nobbsy123 (851) • Australia 30 Jul 10

I havn't been able to sleep. I've been up for over 40hr now and still not tired. I tried going for a walk tried eating still can't sleep. I'm thinking if I don't sleep soon I may go and see a doctor.

moondance61 Hiya nobbsy123, It does sound like you have got a real problem, have you been doing anything that stops you from sleeping, such as too much caffeine, energy drinks and the such like. Or maybe you have been keeping strange hours, such as working odd shifts. If...

moondance61 Yes GardenGerty, We should all put spammers out of our misery and tell them to get knotted. As you say, this is a social site and should be treated as such.

Avoiding life's little lessons

Qaeyious @Qaeyious (2357) • United States 26 Jul 10

I heard of this happening in spiritual circles but I had trouble believing it. It is when a person needs to be taught a lesson, a teacher will come. So I was waiting for the light rail and while it was pulling up one of those...

moondance61 Wow Qaeyious, what a wonderful little tale, yes, I don't know whether I could have been so calm and tolerant of the vile rapper, but you are right, concentrating on the space he held rather than on him was a very good idea and it is a lesson we should all try...

50 Is A Dangerous Age For A Woman?

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 30 May 09

Many women regard 50s as a breaking point. They have reached a period where domesticity may well be off the line. It is a dangerous age as marriage and children no longer seem to hold the appeal they once did, and a heady cocktail...
