sweetlady10 @sweetlady10 (3611) • United States 29 Jan 07

raasha I've thought of the very same thing everytime I read of some extravagant amounts spent on space research. Its just that common people aren't important enough for governments. The amount of money that is spent on a single day in research in nasa could well...

Singing to Children

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45942) • United States 28 Jan 07

I loved to sing to my children. One of my favorite songs that I sang to them often was "You are my Sunshine". Singing or humming to a baby or child has a soothing effect on them. I would sing or hum to them while rocking them...

raasha *smile* my Mom would sing "you are my sunshine" to me as a kid. My fondest memories of childhood are those of my Mom singing to me. My Mom had a lovely voice and much of my interest in singing developed 'cos I so wanted to emulate her at that time. A mother...

Article about the oldest woman - Would you want to live that long?

apky12 @apky12 (769) • United States 26 Jan 07

She's 114 years old! That's amazing! Would you want to live to be that old? Why or why not?

3 responses

raasha 114, WOW! I wouldn't want to live that long since in all probability most of the people I love and am attached to, wouldn't be there with me. Besides, being 114 would entail some degeneration of the body. Living with an ailing body I'm sure is difficult even...

raasha It's silly to even attempt a comparison. Besides age, experience and skill (where Amitabh Bachchan is leagues ahead) the comparing styles of the 2 actors in questions are diametrically opposite. Sharukh is more casual with the contestants, joking and being...

raasha I'm guilty of that too! I'm impulsive and hit the 'post' button the moment I finish typing only to discover mistakes later. I wish to mylot had a edt button that would let us correct mistakes later.

auburndreams @auburndreams (838) • United States 7 Dec 06
