trulydreaming Another idea is putting together a "treasure hunt." You can determine how much $$ you put into it. It does take time and effort but oh my goodness...it is so much fun (if you and your hubby are "into" that kind of thing). I put one together a few years ago...

Do you still turn the subtitles on even if the movie is in English?

richiem @richiem (3644) • Philippines 29 Aug 08

I have to admit that I like turning the subtitles on even if the movies are in English because I understand the story more in that way. English is not my native tongue and most of the time actors in the movie speak in slang...

Are all boys are men?

ozzeth @ozzeth (940) • Philippines 24 Aug 08

Well boys are men and men are boys. I mean even an executive and a matured man sometimes acted like a boy. A boy sometimes pretend to be a man only to get something that a man wants. How you will differentiate being a boy to...

How Do You Feel About Bikers?

pumpkinjam @pumpkinjam (8770) • United Kingdom 24 Aug 08

Are you scared of them? Do you like them? Are you a biker? I am curious because there still seem to be people who assume that bikers are all violent and dangerous. I've even known of people being reluctant to go into a pub...

Are you afraid of Death? A kind of morbid discussion.....

auntiedis @auntiedis (165) • United States 21 Aug 08

Without turning this into a religious discussion, are you afraid of death? I guess I'd have to admit that I am. First of all, I'm not sure which way I think would be the best to die, because I don't want to. I do know, for sure,...
