twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 17 Apr 09

wrdsofwisdm I hate dealing with purses, so I usually put the cell in a pocket, have a carabiner on my key ring so I can clip them on me, and keep a small hand lotion, gum, and lip gloss in the car only. If I have to go to an event where I wear a dress I'll bring a small...

wrdsofwisdm I purchased my townhouse in 1999. I was a repo, so I got a good deal on it. I do like it and the neighborhood I'm in. Before the housing market went south, it was worth more than double what I paid for it. Now it looks like I'm going to have to wait a few...

wrdsofwisdm On a positive note, the man still has good reflexes...except when eating pretzels. I personally don't like him, so I thought it was humorous. What did he expect? Americans are not very welcomed there in general.

wrdsofwisdm Trust me when I tell you...sounds like he's cheating. My fiance is actually sitting here with me and he agrees. If he hasn't cheated, he is thinking about it. You can do better. You should tell him how you feel about how drastically he has changed and then...

wrdsofwisdm It needs air to kill it. Best bet to get rid of of it faster is to take the skinniest needle you can find, wipe it with peroxide, alcohol, etc. and lightly poke the tip of the zit. Then you can apply a hot compress on it. That will make it come out faster..or...
