Where are you in the world and what's the weather like today?

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 17 Apr 07

In the UK, we're in the middle of a heatwave at the moment, in the last few days it's been far warmer than it ever usually is in April, in fact it felt like mid August at the weekend! How far-spread is this? Are you...

Favourite way to keep fit and slim down without leaving the house!

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 11 Apr 07

I've decided I need to lose some weight this spring, but being a student I lack the funds to pay for gym membership, and going out running / cycling has never really appealed to me. Apart from healthy eating, does anyone have any...

Has anyone sold items on etsy.com?

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 11 Apr 07

I make jewellery and recently have been looking at etsy.com as a place to sell a few pieces and maybe make a little extra money. Has anyone here used the website? I'd love to know your experiences with it, its ease of use, payment...

Are Musicals Due a Comeback?

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 7 Apr 07

In the UK, there have been several recent TV shows about musicals, all of which have been very popular. The musical theatre itself however, doesn't seem to be as popular as it used to be, but it seems there may be a big comeback,...

What is your skincare secret?

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 7 Apr 07

I tried Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion today for the first time, and my skin feels great, I'm kicking myself for not taking everyone's advice and trying this before. So I ask, what are your skincare secrets,...

"Pro" Anorexia websites- Should they be banned or is freedom of speech at stake?

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 7 Apr 07

The websites themselves state that they are not promoting anorexia, but providing an environment where anorexics can talk freely and support each-other. The critics say that they are helping each-other starve to death, and these...

Working on Good Friday

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 6 Apr 07

Is anyone else at work today when all their friends and family have the day off? Please feel free to join me in feeling bitter about the need to earn overtime cash when I really want to be in bed still!

What crafts do you do?

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 4 Apr 07

I'm one of that legion of jewellery-makers, though I don't have much time for it at the moment around university and work. I also like to make journals, and cards occasionally. What crafts do you make? I can't post photos yet...

Where were you brought up, and what was it like?

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 4 Apr 07

I was brought up in Tonbridge, in Kent, UK. It's quite a small town and people move there for the good schools, and its proximity to London. Unfortunately, this means the town itself is a bit dead, since there's barely anyone...

What was the last strange dream you had?

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 3 Apr 07

I barely ever remember my dreams, yet the other night I had quite a vivid one, that rather amused me. I dreamed that I went to visit my parents for Easter and my Mother, as she always does, tried to persuade me to go to church...

UK Non-referral Oppertunities anyone?

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 3 Apr 07

Another one of those "Looking for ways to make cash online" posts I'm afraid, but I'm currently not in the position to make much from sites reliant on referrals for earnings, as I don't know many others who are into this, and I'm...

What's your favourite low-calorie snack?

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 30 Mar 07

I adore celery dipped in balsamic vinegar, or a simple bowl full of cherry tomatoes and garlic-stuffed olives. What are your favourite healthy, low-calorie things to nibble on between meals?

UK Accountants, What was training like?

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 29 Mar 07

I'm currently in my second year at University studying Publishing with English, and I have no idea what I want to do with my life. If possible, I want a career where I'm not really restricted to one part of the country, although I...

How many hours do you work as a student?

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 29 Mar 07

I'm a "full-time" university student from the UK, and I also work 15 hours a week at a mail-order company, on the customer care desk. Most of the people I know however, either don't work at all, or work only a few hours in a bar...

Areoplane Toilets

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 8 Mar 07

Does anyone else find them quite terrifying and avoid them at all costs? I can go on a 6-hour flight and "hold it" the entire way just because the toilts on the plane disturb me so much! It's the same with coaches, though...

My Diary Has Become a Book of Hatred and Doodles!

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 5 Mar 07

As a child, I used to be a prolific diary-writer, but I never wrote anything of consequence or anything particularly private, it was simply a chronicle of the everyday comings and goings in my life, of little interest to anyone...

"Minor" disabilities and the sheer impatience of others!

vixel83 @vixel83 (212) 5 Mar 07

My first attempt at starting a discussion! I've had severe scoliosis (a curvature of the spine) since I was born and because of the pressure the curve put on my lungs, I now have around 30% of the lung capacity I should have....
