Are you a chocolate snob? Do you eat any old kind of chocolate or are you a connoisseur?
As a child, I looked forward to my chocolate Easter bunnies, Hershey bars and Nestle crunch bars, as an adult, I can’t eat that stuff. It tastes greasy and waxy. Did the formula for American milk chocolate change or did my tastes change? What kinds of chocolate do you like? Milk or dark? Truffles? European [...]
Today is National Pretzel Day! Do U like them? Did U know they are believed to be the oldest snack?
How do you like your pretzel? Thick or thin? Straight or twisted? Crisp and crunchy, or soft? Salted, unsalted, mustard flavored, perhaps? There’s no shortage of types of pretzels. If you are having trouble deciding which ones, we suggest you mix a bunch of different types of pretzels in a big bowl, and grab a [...]
Arundhati Roy, who has been the basis for my last few questions, once said this:
"Soviet-style communism failed, not because it was intrinsically evil, but because it was flawed. It allowed too few people to usurp too much power. Twenty-first-century market capitalism, American-style, will fail for the same reasons. Both are edifices constructed by human intelligence, undone by human nature."
Do you think this is true? Why or why not?
How Can I, 13 Years Old, Get A Life?
My parents really messed me up by letting me stay at home all day, which took away all the social qualities I had. Now i’m a shy, braces ‘n’ glasses compunerd. I used to be okay with it, not care, but everyday my nerdy ass is tearing up, because my hormones caught up with my [...]
Does anyone else find the recent McCain’s ad about Obama not visiting the wounded troops deceiving?
McCain should be ashamed! So much for the straight talking express! This man has the nerve to say Obama found time to go to the gym and not visit the wounded? The pictures of Obama in that gym where taken by the Department of Defense in a gym visiting troops! What a liar this guy [...]
WOW—-now that was quick? 3 people already offended by a non-offensive Q in less than……….
1 minute enough to report me and have a Q banned asking about city folk and how they treat strangers [out lining my experience this morning]. Now tht has to some kind of record doesn’t it? C’mon surely the team had to have pulled that Q–as it was waaaay too quick for any 3 people [...]
Do you save and/or recycle things?
My friend and I both get mailings with return envelopes in them. We don’t need to send anything back to the sender, so we have labels with our names and addresses on them and just stick them on and send. Use a black permanent marker pen to delete the bar code if there is one. [...]
Today is Tell a Story Day, would U share your favorite story, or tell me a made up story, please?
This is one of my favorites A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled [...]
What does your avatar mean?
Mine is a photo of a professor from U.C.S.F. that makes over $270,000 in salary (plus far more in speakers fees and board appointments) a year at an anti-poverty rally on Russian Hill in San Francisco. A wealthy, supposedly educated publicity whore. Just like me. LOL

I am a global warming skeptic: Would you agree that this is a decent reason to question it?
http://www.dailytech.com/Myth+of+Consensus+Explodes+APS+Opens+Global+Warming+Debate/article12403.htmI respect those that disagree as it is seemingly a worthy cause (anyone with half a brain would want to save the planet, it makes sense in that reguard). However, after having wondered as why much of the theory is purported by ‘new’ types of big industry (mass media, ‘green’ companies, lobbyists) I now [...]
Ladies only : In honor of Angel Wakes and her question to men, what makes you fall in love with men?
I am having the difference of opinion that most of you are the same as men in that you do not really know what makes you fall in love with us men. You do know what you like about us. I’ll grant you that much. However, I do not believe you are that much different [...]

Have you ever seen a music video that really made you laugh?
Check out this one by a band called "No More Kings" It is a funny take on the Karate Kid movie. And it has some funny scenes with all of the original cast members. And the scene at the end between William Zabka and Ralph Machio is hilarious. The song is called "Sweep The Leg". [...]

Has excessive suction ever ruined your fun?
Whilst trying to replicate the Shake n’ Vac advert, it seems technology has thrown a spanner in the works.It would appear that bagless vacuums have far too much suction to effect a quick and smooth action at speed across the carpet.
The Science of Losing Things.
Is there a science behind losing things? Where do odd socks go? Paperclips and pens and so on.
In the last couple of years i have lost things and never seen them ever again. I have lost my passport, CDs, Scented Oils, a phone battery… i could go on. All these things i lost in my [...]
Wedding season is upon us. Do you have any wedding stories to share?
I will share a couple of incidents from weddings I have attended:
Bride wore a beautiful white dress with a modest train. It was very demure – long sleeves, heart shaped neckline. But… on the bustle area she had a HUGE RED BOW, of the sort one uses at Christmas on the front door, Something for [...]
St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco De Mayo, and Mardi Gras are an excuse for….
most Amercians to get drunk, without stopping to wonder what the true meaning of the day is supposed to be. What kind of days like these, are celebrated in Europe in this manner? Oktoberfest maybe?
Is anyone else still enjoying their Christmas tree?
Here it is January 8th and I’m still looking at my Christmas tree. I put up several (7) and I’ve removed all but the big one in our front room. I love it and I’m just not ready to take it down yet. My grandson (5) told me he thinks people probably think I’m looney. [...]
Have you ever been to a really rockin house party?
I would have loved to have been invited to this one.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9wD-vv1sRU
Ok, this may be a silly question, but why don’t pant size and underwear size correspond?
It just seems a little silly that I can wear a size 5 pair of undies, and a size 10 pair of pants OR if you wear a size 6 pair of undies then you fit into a size 12 pair of pants,… the list could go on, but the point is, why don’t they [...]

Ever felt like Cinderella’s step mother/sisters/brother [if any] when buying shoes? I sure do. There
was this pair of cute, leather, low heeled slip-ons by Born [on sale of course] that I bought. I knew my wide feet would revolt against this thoughtless abuse but was I daunted? Nope! Now all I need to do is to somehow force my toes into these magical shoes like Cinderella’s charming step Mom/sisters. [...]

Is q&a your secret place where you can feel free to be rude to people? Do you like the rudeness?
I ask because it seems that way with many users. Maybe frustrated and irked with a tough day at work so time to come home and verbally bash some other person here on an anonymous forum. I admit I do feel the need to type out some caustic and horrendous verbage to people who I [...]

Are you finding that you reveal more of yourself here than you do to people in real life?
Is there a freedom here…perhaps in some situations an absence of judgment….a type of support that you would not get from the people closest to you?
I’m starting University next year…What should I use to take notes, do labs etc…?
I’m starting university next year…In HS, I used the binder that you could open up and add sheets and stuff like that. What should I use for University? I hear a scribbler is the best for my lectures. Should I two sets of notepads for my lectures and seminars (of the same course)? What should [...]

How can I get my buddy’s name off of my e-mail account?
I just realized that my friend’s name is attached to my e-mail account. It is thankfully the one that I use for personal junk, but, that it is headlined by Andrew and not Thessalonius is a little odd. He set it up for me recently and I think that he mistakenly stuck his name in [...]

How do I deal with hypersensitivity when receiving a massage?
The funny thing is I can deal with the pain of softening up muscles that are tight and knotted. But sometimes when the practitioner massages soft tissue or areas with allot of nerve endings I tend to have sensory overload, so much so that it either tickles or my muscles reflexively contract and I notice [...]
Does your place look like Sanford & Sons?
I adore neat homes, but for the life of me I can’t keep ours in order. I go visit friends, look around and wonder to myself "how in the world do they keep this place so tidy"". I go home and I have junk everywhere. Of course if I know I’m gonna have company, I [...]
So what have you been reading lately?
Any suggestions or reviews? Please state whether fiction or non-fiction.
I’ve been reading a lot of Dean Koontz , Harlan Coben and Tom Clancy. My first foray into modern fiction. Excellent reading. Coben is very funny at times.I’d recommend "Rocket Boys" by Homer Hickam for non-fiction. It’s about a boy who grows up in a West [...]
