Am I the only one?

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 27 Jun 07

I don't like the new MyLot design. I recall it being rather easy to add, edit, and delete information on one's profile. For the life of me, I can't get it to work since they changed it. So I guess errors stay. Does anyone else...

Detaining People Who Commit Crimes

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 27 Jun 07

I have had the unfortunate experience of having to help a young person who has had legal problems. The court system in the U.S. is definitely much different from what one sees on television! It is rather boring actually. But I did...

Recommendations for a new refrigerator

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 6 Jun 07

Well, seems I have the worst luck with refrigerators. About five years ago I had a Frigidare and the compressor went out. It was only six years old. Now I have a GE for the past five years and the compressor is going out on it as...

Favorite Mode of Travel

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 31 May 07

I just finished booking a flight from the U.S. to Bangladesh. A hefty price tag for cramped quarters hours and hours with little to no leg room on an overcrowded airplane. Despite this, I can think of no other logical way to get...

Fun things to do in the summer

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 9 May 07

Summer is almost upon us. A great time of year for family get togethers, picnics at the park, swimming at the lake, river, or ocean. Bicycles, walks in the sunset, drinking cold drink on the back porch. Going for a summer vacation...

Save the World!

What are you doing to save your world from the ravages of human abuse? Global warming is destroying many of the natural wonders of the world - glaciers in the artic - with great ice melts in Canada and possible extinction of the...

I Scream - You Scream - We all Scream for Ice Cream

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 24 Mar 07

Oh, spring - the birds are singing, signs of life are beginning to awaken from their long winter nap. The ice cream parlors are starting to re-open their doors - long ago locked for the winter. The many flavors tantalizing the...

Love and Age

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 13 Mar 07

For hundreds of years it has been considered quite normal for men to marry women who are younger. The thought of older women marrying younger men was rare and generally frowned upon. It seems there is a growing number of younger...

Inherently Good or Evil?

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 6 Mar 07

I am wondering what people think about this issue. Are people inherently good or evil? Self preservation and egocentrism seem to prevail in many arenas of society. Violent acts that are unprovoked, premeditated, and defy all...

Favorite Movie of All Time

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 4 Mar 07

I think that Fiddler on the Roof (1971) directed by Norman Jewson on location in Croatia is by far one of my most favorite movies. I have seen this movie at least 50 times. The movie is a musical and is about the lives of the...

Favorite Clint Eastwood Line

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 3 Mar 07

One of my favorite lines from Clint Eastwood was in one of his Dirty Harry movies where he said to a young hood... "You gotta ask yourself, do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" What's your favorite Eastwood line?

What's your favorite spice?

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 27 Feb 07

I love to spice up my food - salt and pepper are so bland and there are some really great spices and herbs out there to make those dishes really burst with flavor. My favorite spice is paprika. I love the extra zing - particularly...

I have been blessed to know and care for a lot of people from a diverse array of backgrounds. I have always been interested in learning about different cultures, religions, ways of doing, thinking, knowing and being. I love to...

Tap or Bottled Water?

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 26 Feb 07

The water in my city is contaminated from a host of chemicals - including radiation. Despite heavy taxation, the city is fighting a federal order to clean up the water - arguing that it is perfectly safe to drink. I bought a...

I have so many favorite episodes of Seinfeld it is difficult to pick just one. But I think that the Soup Nazi is one of my favorites. For those who haven't seen it - Seinfeld and friends discover the best soup place in New York...

Salty or Sweet

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 24 Feb 07

I have a friend who would always choose salty things over sweet things. I prefer the sweets over the salt (unless of course it is salty and sweet together)! How about you? Which is your preference? Salty or sweet and why?

Morning or Evening?

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 20 Feb 07

Are you a morning person or a night person? I used to be a morning person - I liked to get up early and start the day. Now, I can barely make it to work by 9:30 a.m. I like to stay up past 1:00 a.m. My peak time, when I really...

Can you remember the first time you fell in love? What was it like? How did you know it was love? Did the relationship work out or is it history now?

To Shave or Not to Shave - That is the Question?

sadgirl_1958 @sadgirl_1958 (1088) • United States 18 Feb 07

I have always had a thing for a man with a beard. Any amount of stubble will do. Even the "haven't shaved in two days" look is mighty fine looking to me. I think that most women (and perhaps men) prefer a clean shaven face to a...
