President Obama Visiting My Town

Autumnrose2008 @Autumnrose2008 (1478) • United States 28 Aug 12

During his last campaign trail he visited my town as well. When it was all said and done and he left we were still holding the bag we had to pay our local police for additional security, the blocking of roads that the president...

playswithfood I feel bad for any locale that has to host a presidential visit. After spending some time living in DC and having to wait through a presidential motorcade, I know how much of a pain it can be!

Are you willing to break traffic rules?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140131) • Philippines 2 Aug 12

Imagine that you are too late or beyond schedule time for an appointment. The last option is to break traffic rules, executing U-turn or even park your car in the street illegally. The possibility to be caught by a police officer,...

playswithfood I will speed fairly regularly, but that's about the only 'traffic rule' I ignore. I use my blinkers religiously, never change lanes under a traffic light, always come to a full stop, never run red lights... This could be why I've never gotten a traffic ticket...

I hate being a cashier sometimes

SomeCowgirl @SomeCowgirl (32191) • United States 26 Jul 12

A lot of people here know that I am a cashier. Sometimes I really hate it while other times I feel rewarded. Sometimes I see people I haven't seen in years, while other times I meet new and intersting people. Sometimes I treat...

playswithfood I was a cashier for a long time (5+ years), myself. But I actually enjoyed my job, most of the time. Most of my customers were repeat customers and we built up a rapport. Lots of joking and silliness at my register, many of them even gave me cards or presents...

All the milks!

Olonam @Olonam (870) • Philippines 27 Jul 12

Hey there everyone! I love milk so much and i'm sure you do to! Wait... I'm not very sure about that I recently studied that some people can't drink milk... :( But I'm not one of those people! I can drink as many milk as I...

playswithfood I'm a pretty big fan of milk, too. I usually drink either 2% cow's milk or non-dairy almond milk. Coconut milk is pretty good, too, as a base for shakes... don't really like it by itself.

Cheaper cats

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 27 Jul 12

I can get 3 for the price of one, this is from our cat rescue people, these cats are well taken care of and have had great Vet care. The only draw back is they are all black, it seems black cats are not that popular and so there...

playswithfood I love my two cats! They were a two-for-the-price-of-one deal at the shelter because they were litter mates and had bonded so separation would have been bad for them. If the 3 cats you are looking at are litter mates and have been together for a long time,...

Men are the best cook?

jaraan @jaraan (193) • Philippines 27 Jul 12

Since I got married I've been doing all the house chores and cooking is my favorite tasks to do for everyday and by weekends my husband cooks for us.. I don't know what I should feel, Am I jealous or they just don't like my...

playswithfood Maybe in the professional world men are better in the kitchen, but I know in my house that's definitely not the case! If I wasn't here to cook for my husband he'd be preparing all of his food in the microwave! I think he's managed to make grilled cheese or...

Does water have taste?

Olonam @Olonam (870) • Philippines 27 Jul 12

I love drinking fresh cold water on a hot day.. especially when you're just done exercising and you're so sweaty.. But anyway, I was wondering... does water have taste? I mean I sometimes find it yummier than other soft drinks.....

playswithfood Pure water has no taste. However, when you are hot or dehydrated it can be very refreshing and because it's going over your tongue you could perceive a delicious taste. Also, impurities in the water can cause it to have a taste. Chemicals, minerals, sediments,...

What Do You Take Pictures of When You Are Bored?

Fornevermore @Fornevermore (168) • United States 26 Jul 12

I was just wondering...what DO people take pictures of when they're bored? As for me when I had borrowed a camera from someone I would take pictures of anything and everything. Though nature was the biggest one for me. I was just...

playswithfood Whenever I'm bored and in the mood to take pictures I usually rile up the cats and take pictures of them. They always do the most entertaining things, and I love taking pictures of animals in motion. Or food while I'm in the process of cooking it. Or flowers...

Reality TV

luvnidandan @luvnidandan (131) 25 Jul 12

I have seen some episodes of Big Brother Philippines (when they were introduced), and other reality shows which shows what happens inside an enclosed area for a period of time. It got me thinking: is it not a form of "peeping" as...

playswithfood I have never been a huge fan of reality television. Why would I want to watch someone living their life when I could be out living my own? Though, I must confess, I do enjoy the ghost hunting shows (especially Ghost Hunters International)... they are so awful...

Sleeping in: One of my favorite things to do

sherrybelle @sherrybelle (707) • United States 25 Jul 12

This morning my alarm clock didn't exist and it was so nice. I love being able to wake up naturally where I'm in the stage of sleep where I'm halfway between being in my bed and being in heaven. When I first wake up I'm...

playswithfood I love sleeping in! I'm going to miss it... or at least have a better appreciation for it when I start my new job in a few weeks. It requires me to be in the office by 8am, so I'll be getting up at around 6:30. Normal waking time for most folks during the...

Good friends are hard to find

ladyhill @ladyhill (78) • United States 25 Jul 12

Why do people used to upload a false picture on their profile?

gautam41 @gautam41 (27) • India 25 Jul 12

I don't think why people used to hide on social networking site like facebook. Be the real don't try to hide yourself in back of others.

playswithfood I think it is probably a matter of privacy. Many people don't like to put their face to their profile. I put mine up because I'm not likely to say something that will get me into too much trouble later on, but some folks have strong opinions about...

Twitter Is Not For Everyone

bettymarie @bettymarie (125) • United States 25 Jul 12

playswithfood Twitter definitely is not for everyone. I see it as thousands of conversations going on at once, and most of the time I can only see one side which can be very confusing. I like it as a tool to see if I'm the only one experiencing problems... Like if my cell...
