Tomorrow is the 7th anniversary of 9/11. Do you remember what you were doing?

sumpter @sumpter (214) • United States 10 Sep 08

I know that this was a horrific experience for the whole country. For me, talking and writing which I do best eases my tension and makes it easier to cope. Please I look forward to the many stories that I hope people would...

poohbear2123 I was at home on the computer, I then walked by the TV and saw what was going on. i just couldn't believe it, the whole thing had sort of a surreal quality to it for me. Almost as if I was dreaming, because on some level I felt that nobody could possibly want...

poohbear2123 We have a brindle pit bull named Chyna, after the former WWE wrestler. I am not sure what made my husband name her that. But, I like the way it is spelled.

poohbear2123 I read in the Farmer's Almanac one time that if you put a pot in the window and fill it with water and basil leaves the flies will clear the room. Never tried it to see if it works,but you could always try it and see. If it does let me know.

poohbear2123 My mom always told me trust is earned, not given. Although, I do believe people can change the way they are and the things they do. But, they have to really want to change. Marriage counseling could help a lot and prevent this from happening again.

What do you cook in your microwave oven?

Humbug25 @Humbug25 (12540) 7 Sep 08

I really don't use my microwave oven and have been very tempted to give it away before on freecycle. It did come in very handy when I moved into my house a year ago and had no cooker for 6 weeks. Nowadays I simply use it for...

poohbear2123 I dealt with the same problem last year, I bought my son a Nintendo DS and it had to come from China and it did take several weeks for it to get here. I imagine that with the Olympics going on as well, that it may take a little longer than it usually would.

Losing Weight Without Dieting

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 28 Aug 08

I know this sounds crazy, but I'm trying to lose weight without dieting. So far, very unsuccessfully. I've been exercising a lot (over 5 hours per week). But I have not lost one pound in 3 months (I haven't gained one either...

poohbear2123 Since you are already exercising regularly, why not try just drinking water and not eating anything after 6:00PM. You can drink after 6, just don't eat anything. You will be surprised, because you will lose weight just by doing these two things.
