jrocas05 @jrocas05 (114) • Philippines 20 Mar 10

I think that a lot of people will agree that when it comes to religion or faith we all get involve and sometimes conflicts starts. But do any of you know the reason why? We all know the story on how God redeemed us from our...

nicolec Some religions teach us to love and respect all. Others do not. I think most of us start conflicts when we feel attacked by those who have not learned to accept different people. A lot of people have closed minds and believe they are the only ones who are...

nicolec I live alone and there is nothing wrong with that. I do not run from life. I enjoy the quiet. It's peaceful to me. Do I want kids, maybe some day. But I am in no position, financially or other wise to have children. So I continue to live alone. There is...

Weird Theory about Lost The "if they never crashed" sideways flashback

suspenseful @suspenseful (40192) • Canada 3 Mar 10

Oh maybe this is getting into another dimension theory, but I often wonder whether the Sideways flashbacks was what really happened and the Lost never happened and it was sort of like a dream, for instance what I sometimes have if...

nicolec Each season I have wracked my brain over what is going on. I've made guesses from the beginning. Read other people's theories. Chatted with co workers around the water cooler. But now that we are in the final season, I don't theorize anymore. A shame, I...

Swayer as a Cop

stealthy @stealthy (8181) • United States 17 Mar 10

At first I thought it was funny that Sawyer was a cop in flash "sideways" but then I realized it made perfect sense. It was just another way to hunt down the conman who caused his family tragedy and sure enough later in the show...

nicolec He certainly has the macho-ness to be a cop. And apparently a good undercover one too, based on that little "con" in the beginning which was really a set up. In the ending, he catches Kate. But if he was a cop the entire time, then why did he help her escape...

New Additional Census...a threat?

estherlou @estherlou (5015) • United States 17 Mar 10

There will be an additional census sent to a sample of 3 million homes in the US by the Census Bureau. It will be 11 pages long and ask extensive questions. Here is an example of some of them... "The second section surveys...

nicolec The census is a double edge sword. For one, it's for posterity reasons. In 50-100 years from now they will be able to look back and see what America was like. They will have a record of who was living. It's one way I found my ancenstor information. I found...

moonchild1au @moonchild1au (6237) • Australia 17 Mar 10

nicolec In the US every place is different. But in general, any tip a waitress gets, it goes straight to their pocket. However, you often have to tip out the bartender and bus boy at the end of the night. Usually that's about 1% of your total sales. In some places,...

I need some movie recommendations

olisaur @olisaur (1922) • United States 15 Mar 10

I am a big fan of movies by Quentin Tarantino. It all started when I was 10 or 11, and my best friend and I snuck into the movie theater to see Kill Bill (vol. 1). At the time, I had no idea who Quentin Tarantino was, or what the...

nicolec Quentin Tarantino has a very unique style and there aren't too many directors like him. I really enjoyed the Kill Bill movies, not just for the story line but for some fantastic cinematography work. Have you seen Momento yet? It's put together just like Pulp...

Bell Peppers

deborah_0515 @deborah_0515 (89) • United States 30 May 08

I was wondering if anyone else was having problems with bell peppers this year. My plants are large, but have not bloomed or started producing at all. All of my other plants are thriving. Any suggestions?

nicolec Where are you? Here it's too early for bell peppers to form. It also depends on what variety you have. Some pepper plants are late blooming varieties, designed to bloom in the fall instead of the summer. When was the last time you fertilized them? Make sure...

Weeds beautiful?

webeishere @webeishere (36313) • United States 30 May 08

The most abundant weed at least in Minnesota is the dandelion. Well being bored today I went outside with my camera. Of the many shots I took was this one. It is a dandelion that has gone to seed. An ugly weed but yet such a...

nicolec I work in a garden store. What I tell people is simple. A weed is a plant you don't want. I just moved into a new house where the previous owners planted chives. It's spread and I hate it. To me it's nothing more then a weed. I think a field of bright yellow...

nicolec Ben. I love his character. He's so dark and mysterious. You never know when he's lying, when he's telling the truth and when he's manipulating. His true self is usually very well hidden. I like Sawyer too because he's so attractive and has some great one...

cortjo73 @cortjo73 (6498) • United States 28 May 08

I just read that, in tomorrow night's season finale, 3 characters will die. 3 originals. Not people whom we've met along the way. I read it on Ask Ausiello on TVguide.com. He said, originally, he found out that one significant...

nicolec Turns out the spoiler was slightly misleading. Yes Micheal and Jin die but Locke...we know he's dead but he actually hasn't died yet. At least not in Island time. So we still have a very important death coming up. Should be interesting.

cortjo73 @cortjo73 (6498) • United States 29 May 08

nicolec Loved it. It had all the great suspense factors we have come to know and love in LOST. And to watch Ben lose all his powers as the leaders, to watch him give into his destiny as determined by Jacob was slightly sad yet so deserving. Can't wait to see what...

nicolec It's because you ate an all you can eat buffet. At one of these places the waitress doesn't do more then clear your plate and fill your drink. She doesn't take your order. She doesn't serve your food. She doesn't really do anything. That's why they probably...

The Government shouldn't hide behind illegal immigrants.

This is What Passes for "Logic" in Wisconsin Schools?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 7 Apr 08
