Always smiling @allknowing (137988) • India 15 May 17

The process is pretty long winded - right from the time of planting to getting the powder is not an easy task. But it is all done and the powder is ready. The raw turmeric when dried shrinks to 1:5 where 5 is the raw turmeric...

4 responses

purpleravenhawk I feel that myspace is indeed overrated. I have had a page there for a few years, and I don't use it for much except the occasional message to a friend. It's entirely too congested for my taste, with people adding friends almost randomly just to have a...

Is marriage becoming a thing of the past?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 9 Jan 07

When I was growing up everyone got married - that was expected and accepted. If a girl got pregnant they got married because it was the right thing to do. Now everyone seems to be living together and divorce rates are over 50%....

If you knew your child would be born gay, would you have an abortion?

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 27 Dec 06

We were talking about this at work today. Some people are very against homosexuality and didn't want gay children. A couple people actually said they'd have an abortion rather than have the gay child. However, if their child...

purpleravenhawk I wonder if these people who would abort their gay child are the same people who, under ordinary circumstances, would accuse women who had abortions of being murderers. I have found that quite often the people who hold such extreme views also tend to be...

How do you feel about Home School for your children?

awesomehorizons @awesomehorizons (884) • United States 28 Dec 06

purpleravenhawk I was homeschooled myself, and I think it turned out well for me. I would probably consider it for my own children if I felt I had the time and energy to do it. Whether or not it works depends on the effort the parents are willing to put into it.

purpleravenhawk I have the same habit. I eat meals in front of the computer, and when I sit down to check email, I feel the urge to snack on something. Usually, it's some sort of snack crackers or chips. I've been trying to restrict my snacking to fresh fruits, though.
