Have you ever seen a commercial for starbucks?

the_dreamer2005 @the_dreamer2005 (1175) • United States 14 Feb 07

I asked a different post about which is better, Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks and one reply was each company had it's own way of promoting their products. It made me think, I can't ever remember seeing a starbucks commercial but...

wesderby Come to think of it, I've never seen a TV commercial or heard a radio ad for them. Even though we had them when I lived in Phoenix, I'd never actually gone in to a Starbucks until I moved up here to the Seattle area...I think most of their advertising comes...

What was the best CD you bought recently?

MrGreyGhost @MrGreyGhost (7) • United States 12 Feb 07

It's not often that you buy a CD that's totally worth your hard-earned pennies so I'm curious to what people are buying these days.

wesderby I'll admit, I do mostly free downloads now, as most CDs aren't worth buying, but in the last few months, I've found some that are absolutely worth the money and have bought them. If you like country, the new Jason Carroll CD is VERY good. (I think it's...

Romans 8:37

"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." (ASV) It is easy to look at the Christian life and see struggle and hardship. It's easy to see persecution and pain. But we who follow the Lord...

Husband Pissed Cuz I "ASKED PERMISSION" from his ex to cut his kid's hair

MrsAdvice @MrsAdvice (623) • United States 12 Feb 07

Hello, it's me again with yet another sticky situation. We get along so great except for his kid and our inability to agree on anything concerning his kid and also as far as he loves to waste money foolishly while we don't have...

wesderby This is a tough situation. I think you did the right thing, but I can also understand your husband's feelings. As a father, I can't honestly say that I'd react any differently if my wife and I were to divorce. Just out of curiosity, if she'd wanted to cut his...

You Might Be A Redneck.....

lilttownmommie @lilttownmommie (1473) • United States 9 Feb 07

We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years. It's time to take a reflective look at the core beliefs of a culture that values home, family, country and God. If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists who threaten my life, I'd...

wesderby I've never bought anything via Woot, but heard about them a couple months ago on a satellite radio blog I read daily. That day, Woot was selling an XM receiver and (I think) either a car kit or home kit for $20...It was one that normally retails for $100....

How are you?

BunGirl @BunGirl (2638) • United States 30 Jan 07

How many times a day do we all hear this question? How many times do we all ask it? It seems that "How are you" or some form of it has become a common form of greeting in our society. The problem is this. Of the thousands...

wesderby I, to, agree that it's just become part of a common greeting. I notice sometimes when I'm listening to talk radio, if a caller asks the host "How are you", there is one host in particular who, instead of answering, will ask, somewhat snidely, "Do you care?",...

wesderby It bothers me, but honestly doesn't surprise me in the least. I mean, you can find terrorist beheading videos online, so why wouldn't you be able to find out how to kill yourself? At the same time, if that's something you're thinking of doing, is it REALLY...

wesderby If you still have her number, give her a call. If she doesn't want to speak to you, I'm sure she'll let you know. If she's willing to re-start the friendship, then that's great...But, you'll never know what's going to happen unless you give it a shot. If...

wesderby I realize she's your mother, and you still love and care about her, but just like a parent sometimes has to let a problem child go his/her own way and make their mistakes, it sounds like you may have to do the same with your mother. It's a hard thing to do,...
