Quiplet @Quiplet (255) • United States 16 Sep 09

Other than hanging out at MyLot that is. Some people are lucky enough to live in an area where there's always something happening. For me, there's the library, the shopping malls, the museums and the like. But without the warmth...

Love Yourself, Love Life

Quiplet @Quiplet (255) • United States 11 Sep 09

Quiplet @Quiplet (255) • United States 10 Sep 09

If Health Care is Free - Get Rid of Medical Insurance Companies

Quiplet @Quiplet (255) • United States 10 Sep 09

If we continue down the path of 'Free health care for everyone,' why do we need health insurance companies? Pay each doctor a flat fee for his service, depending upon his specialty, and the government pay that amount. Why bother...

Do you offer assistance to tourists from other countries?

Quiplet @Quiplet (255) • United States 10 Sep 09

I live in a tourist area and hear foreign tongues often just while walking down the street. On occasion, I get stopped for information, or to be asked to take a picture. Sometimes we cannot communicate because of the language...

Do this now. Open the cupboard where you store your food: snacks, packaged, canned, all of it. Every item should have the Nutrition Facts. We're all familiar with the Calories amount. But have you ever actually studied the label....

Do You Smile at Strangers?

Quiplet @Quiplet (255) • United States 3 Sep 09

I love to smile at strangers. But I have to look into their eyes first, because their eyes tell me whether or not they would (or might be) receptive to my smile. It's surprising how many people seem like they are just waiting...

Townhall Northern Virginia almost entertaining if it wasn't so serious

Quiplet @Quiplet (255) • United States 25 Aug 09

I watched on CSPAN the townhall meeting of the 8th district of Virginia (D.C. area). I nearly felt sorry for Rep. Moran as he became so flustered with some of the audience. Gov. Dean, M.D. was there to assist him, but became so...
