Do you go out barefoot?

WATARIKENJI @WATARIKENJI (1534) • Philippines 15 Jul 08

It happens to me when I have to catch up the garbage truck or else out litters would be left out. It seldom happens and in some rare cases, it's unavoidable.

ayshren @ayshren (136) • United States 29 Oct 07

Im just curious what made you choose your screen name. I chose mine because my name is Adrienne but before my daughter knew how you say it properly, she would say Ayshren. It has just sort of stuck as a nickname for me:)
