TonyaFig Race has been the elephant in the room this enitre election process and it is less than shocking that Limbaugh would accuse Colin Powell of endorsing Obama because he is black. It is obvious that many conservative loons knew it was the only thing they could...

TonyaFig I think every situation is different so it is hard to answer if I feel it is appropriate. In my case it would NOT have been appropriate...I found my divorce a very sad and painful affair and would not disgrace my ex in that way. However, I do believe that in...

dizzblnd @dizzblnd (3073) • United States 19 Oct 08

What do you think of Sarah Palin's performance in the debate?

shamsta19 @shamsta19 (3224) • United States 3 Oct 08

I had to ask because of my last discussion regarding the presidential debates. Can anyone honestly and with a straight face tell me Governor Palin "won" this debate? I found her to be extremely evasive of questions asked of her...

TonyaFig I wasn't surprised at all that Palin "held her own"..she proved at the RNC she can give a good speech, but she didn't say anything of substance. The thought of her being the VP or God forbid the POTUS gives me chills. And I really need to get this off my...

TonyaFig I have been where you are and I KNOW how hard it can be. When I came into the picture my step daughter was 16 and step son was 13. Not that any age is a good age but those teenage years can be awful. My step son was always good to me and we have always gotten...

Are you happy with your height?

sudalunts @sudalunts (5523) • United States 1 Oct 08

I have always been tall, always one of the tallest girls in my class. When I was in school, I did not like being tall. Then people started asking me if I was a model, or that I should be a model. I then started to accept my...

TonyaFig When I was young I hated my height because I was always a head taller than everyone (including the boys) In fact, high school I would say that I was 5'12 because I didn't want to say 6'0. Then I went to college. I played college ball and so many of my friends...

TonyaFig I completely respect people's right for voting however they feel, but please be accurate. Generic medications have the same active ingredient as name brand medications. The only difference is the name on the bottle and the promotion. Do not scare people away...

TonyaFig Collieluv28 - I am in total agreement with you on why you are voting for Obama. I like the fact that he has actual plans that he has talked about instead of vague generalizations. Do I believe he will be able to achieve "everything" he wants to do...No..I...
