Your children's names

lisado @lisado (1227) • United States 22 Jan 07

How did you decide what to name your child(ren)? Are they named after someone? You just heard a name you liked and went with it? We wanted names that weren't already used by someone else in the family. With our first son, we...

ugachaka We wanted names that were overly popular and trendy without getting weird. My daughter's middle name is slightly more popular these days, but I've only seen one or two people with her first name. I rejected a lot of names because I had a bad association with...

ugachaka Doctors stress it more and more while you're in the hospital but my girlfriend really didn't want to. I talked her into at least doing half and half, with trying to give our daughter as much breast milk as she could supply. We were lucky and WIC provided us...

ugachaka I think my first earning was around 13 cents. It was fairly disappointing and I wasn't sure if I'd stick around for the long haul. Somehow I kept at it and I'm a couple cents away from getting my first payout. But now that I'm to that point, I'm back to...

You can read the article a: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/energy_california_lightbulbs_dc So the article states that by 2012 California will pass a law saying that you can ONLY use compact flourescent lightbulbs. The article...

ugachaka I guess as long as they still work in the same old sockets, it's fine with me. I really can't remember the last time that I changed a light bulb, but I use at least one all of the time. If it will use less energy, I suppose I'm for it. $3 worth of bulbs...

What kind of car was your very first (year, make and model)?

dmillman @dmillman (2273) • United States 31 Jan 07

My first car was a 1976 Chevy Impala. It was a BIG blue boat with a V8 engine. Not quite sure what my parents were thinking about getting a V8 in my first car, but that's besides the point. I only paid $100 for it too, thanks to...

ugachaka 1992 Geo Prizm. Bought it for $1500 because it barely accelerated. We spent $50 on a new spark plug hub and it was instantly fixed. Turns out it was only using 2 cylinders. It was missing all kinds of air conditioning vents and window cranks, a lot of...

Do you like sports from other countries as well your own countries sports?

patootie @patootie (3592) 24 Jan 07

I pretty sure that most countries have a national sport ... usually it's football (or soccer) .. but do you enjoy a sport that isn't played much in your country ?

ugachaka Some of the sports in other countries just confuse me and I'm glad their not widespread here. Cricket just baffles me. Personally, I love the mainstream sports that are available in the US (Real Football =P, Basketball, Baseball, etc.) and I wouldn't ask for...

ugachaka All depends on how I'm feeling. There's times when it feels like cheese overload. I've only had it a few times, but what I really like is sauce stuffed crust. I like to change it up every now and then, but most times I just go for original.

ugachaka Everybody is trying to get rich quick, even if it means exploiting their daughter's murder. I do admit that they are right in seeking damages, but what they're going after is just shameless. I had also heard that Brandy had her publicist apologize to the...

Most boring episode ever

ugachaka @ugachaka (297) • United States 30 Jan 07

I certainly hope that this isn't going to be the new trend. Picking apart why House is the way he is was interesting at first, but I didn't think it was going to be a 2 season endeavor. Tonight's episode was just back in forth...

Paparazzi...what is too far?

hidinginpublic @hidinginpublic (170) • United States 30 Jan 07

I have to admit that I do get caught up in celebrity photos and the videos of celebrities going off on the paparazzi. The thing is that I feel somewhat bad for the famous. They have no privacy anymore. What is too much? When has...

ugachaka I'm a sucker for all of the latest news on celebs too but I do feel bad for them from time to time. I saw a video the other day of Paris Hilton running out of gas and 20 photographers were just taking pictures of it. One guy finally offered to help, but he...

Scared of myLot?

alkapuri @alkapuri (77) • India 27 Jan 07

When I happen to see all the postings in myLot, which are related to myLot, are purely boasting and encouraging myLot. By an average, almost all the users who are crossed 100 points in myLot. Are every thinking that myLot...

ugachaka I've dissented with MyLot plenty. After being around a couple weeks, we see every scam in the book and see how much you're earning for all of your thoughts and decide whether or not it's worth it. Personally, I'm still torn as to whether or not I'll be around...

ugachaka Absolutely. It's one thing if you're just barely over the limit, but some people are just blatant about it. The cashiers can't really say anything about it and the customers know it. It's pretty rare that I actually qualify to use that lane, and it really...
