Would You Live in an Airplane?

Dr. Ann @drannhh (15219) • United States 5 Jan 08

One of my role models in life has always been the retired lady who lives on ocean liners. By wise use of the frequent cruiser points, she gets many free trips which averaged with the tickets she buys costs about the same as an...

sailorstripesss I would definitely love to live in a unique home like that! Perhaps not the train car, because it would be too small, but a plane? Absolutely! A cruise ship, most definitely... I don't like vacationing on cruise ships, but living on one would be completely...

A few more ideas to save money in your home? What can you add?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 27 Jan 08

Like everyone else I'm always looking for new ways to save money....who isn't right. A friend sent me this idea to make your own cooking spray and I felt so dumb that I didn't think of it myself! All you have to do is pour canola...

Have you seen the movie Cloverfield?

jess368 @jess368 (3368) • United States 28 Jan 08

We went to see this last weekend, and I walked away unsure of how I felt about the movie. Have you seen it? What are your thoughts. I thought it was good and bad. The blair witch like video camera drove me a little crazy in...

sailorstripesss I am still questioning whether or not I like this movie and I saw it on opening night. It scared me, that I won't lie about--- only because when I left the theater I was right near Times Square and all I kept thinking about was that horribly large monster...

sailorstripesss There are so many sites, but the one that I like best is tv-links.cc Sometimes you have to play around with a few times before it actually works-- sometimes the site gets deleted all together. This is the second or third time I know of that they have had to...

Freebies ethics

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 29 Jan 08

I love freebies, I send for a lot of them but only things I think I might buy or I can give to someone else that would be interested. I clicked on one site that was offering a religious freebie. It was a small church down south...

sailorstripesss I never really thought about freebies ethics. I only get freebies on things that I want to try that I don't want to buy the entire product, just in case I don't like it. It saves money (obviously) and gives me a great idea as to whether or not the product is...

Do you have an Aldi's? Do you shop there?

makelifehappy @vera5d (4005) • United States 28 Jan 08

I am pretty sure Aldi's is an international store... They sell things really cheap...but they carry virtually no "name" brands (they have their own brands like mama casa and kirkwood)...they also make you put a quarter in the...

what you donate an organ to a family member?

winterose @winterose (39887) • Canada 28 Jan 08

would you donate an organ to a family member, let's say your sister? I saw a show on oprah where this woman had an organ donation from a family member, then she needed another and she got it from her mother. The trouble is she...

sailorstripesss I couldn't make any definite answer right now, simply because I am not in the actual situation. I want to say no, only because this woman continues to ruin the gifts of LIFE that these people are giving her. Lets be honest here, she's going on her fourth (that...

Is there a Walgreens, Brooks or CVS near where you live?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 28 Jan 08

I'm lucky enough to live almost across the street from a brand new CVS store that opened last Sept. and I got my part time job there to boot! There is a Walgreens about 2 miles from my apartment and when the weather is nice and...

sailorstripesss There are two CVS within two miles of my house. I do a decent amount of my shopping there, although I've started doing my shopping on drugstore.com. (Way more convenient, way more rewards!) I don't have any Brooks nearby and to be honest, I've never heard of...

sailorstripesss I think all addictions are equally horrible. I wouldn't wawnt to have to overcome any of them... it is possible for all of them to lead to death... gamblers often commit suicide because they lose control, drug addicts often overdose or contract diseases, those...

Why would anyone think that this is the right thing to do?

sedel1027 @sedel1027 (17846) • Cupertino, California 28 Jan 08

We have been talking about having a kid for awhile and DH wants to wait. I am okay with that, just not the length of time he wants to wait. Quite a few people have been asking about babies lately and I keep saying well he isn't...

sailorstripesss I don't like the sides at all and I usually break them off if I have the time. The frosting and the filling ARE the best parts. If they made one covering the top in frosting, it would be golden. If they covered the bottom in frosting it would be too sweet for...

Are you Moody when you wake up?

LightninStrike @LightninStrike (5915) • Saint Vincent And The Grenadines 29 Jan 08

In my case it depends on the circumstances. When I'm looking forward to do something i really want to do, I don't really mind. But if for instance i get woken up too early by a silly phonecall (like a telemarketer etc.), or...

sailorstripesss I am only moody when I am woken up unwillingly-- so if someone calls, the alarm goes off, someone wakes me up, or a loud noise is made, then stand clear. I have been known to aggressively push people away if they are trying to wake me up- I have accidentally...
