LuckyLadyD @LuckyLadyD (359) • United States 23 Jan 09

I am at the point of tears. Every time I turn around these days it's harder and harder to get things done. It seems like every time I pick up the phone to get something done, I'm told, "I can't do that". For instance, I...

Tax cuts VS. Spending on infrastructure

thegreatdebater @thegreatdebater (7316) • United States 25 Jan 09

What was your favorite job?

LuckyLadyD @LuckyLadyD (359) • United States 15 Jan 09

I've had a lot of jobs, but I can't really think of any that I consider to be my favorite. Let's face it, I hate to work. If I was rich, I would't work. But, somehow I had the misfortune of being born into poverty. That...

lilwonders @lilwonders456 (8214) • United States 16 Jan 09
