When do you throw your old clothes away?

Sawsen @Sawsen (793) • United States 14 Feb 07

I have this pair of pants that I like to wear a lot. My family tells me that it's worn-out and that I should throw it away. But I love them. I've had them for 6 years, and I think they're still in "wearable" condition lol. Even...

Are you defined by the way you dress?

Sawsen @Sawsen (793) • United States 10 Feb 07

Do you ever feel that people define you by the way you dress. As in stereotype you based on what you're wearing. I dress conservatively and people feel like I'm dull and boring, but I'm really an outgoing person who likes to take...

What One BAD HABIT would you QUIT if you could?

western_valleygirl @western_valleygirl (1363) • United States 5 Mar 07

I guess, we all realize what our bad habits are, and we probably deny them too, or, we just don't know that we have a bad habit until someone else mentions it. Well, a part of me always knew I had bad habits here and there, but, I...

poohandchocolate I have a few bad habits I wish I could quit. But I seem to only do it when I'm nervous.. like biting my nails. I've been biting my nails for years and can't stop. One time I got my nails done at a salon, because I thought if I had fake nails on, I can't bite...

poohandchocolate I don't have a significant other, (sadly) but when I do, I'd like to have an honest relationship too. Like you said, you can't have a relationship that will last if you're hiding things from each other.

Smoking- Health hazard

wdiong @wdiong (1815) • Singapore 25 Jan 07

I just hate to be near smokers in enclosed places. Do people have the right to smoke when there are children in the same house or colleagues in the same office have to inhale the smoke?

poohandchocolate Where I live, you can't smoke in any indoor publice place which is a good thing. It is so unhealthy to inhale 2nd hand smoke. It can kill you when you're not even smoking which is unfair. I don't like being near people who do smoke, I just can't handle...
