what do you think about the price of groceries and gas???

newlands6801 @newlands6801 (986) • United States 28 Aug 08

My opinion I think groceries have become ridiculous. I went to the store and it was $5 for a 5lb bag of potatoes, almost $4 for a bag of cheese, $1 for a bell pepper, and $5 for a 12 pack of cokes.These are just a few examples....

sharonmerwe I smoke in the car, and yes it's a discusting habit, but one that I enjoy. What seems to help for the smell, is not using the ashtray, and of course - lots of nice smelling things to cover any smells. I most certainly won't disrespect anyone else by smoking in...

sharonmerwe I beg to differ. There are ads for white skins, black skins, ads for white skins to become darker (self tanning), and ads for dark skins to lighten, I even saw a ad for pills to darken the skin! So, I must disagree with you, every product is marketed to their...

sharonmerwe I am not one of the beautiful people, but have confidence in myself. I think confidence and personality are more important than beauty. Of course - a little make up does help, especially when you get older! The younger people tend to follow what they see on TV...
