Unfamiliar affordable brands, would you risk it?

silverglint @silverglint (2000) • Philippines 8 Jan 09

Would you risk trying unfamiliar yet affordable brands of toiletries so that you can save on your budget since the more popular brands are a lot more expensive? I grew up with the habit to stick with the more known brands since...

newyorksalright Obviously you live here in the US and have fallen prey to gullible advertising. From toothpaste to body wash, simply flip the container over and compare ingredients. A lot of no-name brands arent new in the industry, they just dont blow a bunch of cash on...

newyorksalright The people who set out to be rich and not do what they love are the biggest problem in the US. Why not set out to help people, to balance the power, to wake up the US, to educate the poor, to lower the birth rate, too much focus on money and its killing us....

What's the temperature in your side today?

youless @youless (112710) • Guangzhou, China 8 Jan 09

Today it's 5-16 degrees here. 5 degrees is already so cold here, perhaps it broke the lowest temperature record already. And it seems it will keep cold until next week. I want to hibernate

newyorksalright i dont like the pre-bottled kind, they have a sunkist float soda also, not as good as the real thing. But i love the old fashioned soda fountain shops that serve the real deal. Its a nice treat every once in a while. In case you didnt know, A&W also makes root...

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 26 Dec 08

What would you do if you knew something?

spiderlizard22 @spiderlizard22 (3444) • United States 26 Dec 08

What would you do if you knew someone will do bad things, I mean really bad things. They could be stop now but the thing is they haven't started it yet and haven't planned it yet. Currently they are innocent but if nothing is done...

newyorksalright I wonder if things would be different if our government saw things this way. I doubt they could define "moral obligation" much less act on it with a roll of crisp bills under their nose. I guess it depends on what you view as really bad things. World...

Do you always take a shower before you sleep?

Masmasika @Masmasika (1921) • Philippines 26 Dec 08

MichaelJay @MichaelJay (1100) 13 Dec 08
