Spiders. I am terrified of them......I don't even like to see a picture of one. My other weird fear is being lost. I hate not knowing where I'm going......I think it's just that feeling of not being in control. Hubby and I were in Toronto once and got kind of turned around--I was freaking out. I jus...

The only science fair I ever entered was in 8th grade and I'm pretty sure my teacher required it. I did a project involving plants--I can't remember exactly what, but I had to see if some condition affected the way the plants grew or something like that. I didn't win.

I was surprised by last night's results, but not disappointed. Carly has a good voice, but there was something about her that bothered me. Maybe it's that sense of fakeness that Barefoot Gypsy mentioned, I don't know.

I would love to see a David v. David finale! (and I think we will)

Well, I do have a child and let me say for one that he is worth every bit of "extra baggage" I have had to carry around for him. I use the family parking spots when they are available primarily for safety reasons. I don't mind hauling the diaper bag, etc. around--like you said, that's part...

I had mine out when I was 6. They were huge, much like you described with your daughter. I also had strep throat constantly. I was a very sickly kid. After they came out, it was a world of difference. I was sleeping better, eating better, etc. They took the adenoids at the same time......I can't rea...

I must have slippers in the winter. We have hardwood floors and they can get cold. In the summer I prefer to go barefoot, but in the cooler weather I like a nice pair of soft, fuzzy slippers.

IAnother example of what I think is automation gone bad is the self-check-in kiosks used by the airline industry. When they first introduced them, few people would use them so it meant almost no wait to check-in and no wait in the special bag drop-off line. That was then. Now that most people use t...

I'm 31.....don't know if I'll be drunk or not.

I wish I could have bought reserved seats, but we just didn't have the money to spend right now.......also, I want to experience the lawn at least once.
