Is your postman a man or a woman? Is he/she nice? Have you ever offered him/her a cup of tea/coffee? Why?
Sometimes it's a man, sometimes it's a woman. Don't know who they are. They drive up to the mailbox by the road about an 1/8 of a mile down my driveway from my house, so I generally don't have an opportunity to offer them anything.

If you put a pot of water on to boil to add some humidity to the air, why does it start to smell funky not long afterward?
I never had that problem. Put an apple or some orange peel or cinnamon sticks in the water and it'll smell nice too. You can also put a little vinegar in the water and it'll take out any nasty smells, like if you had been cooking fish.

Would it have been better to feed 49 of these people and tell one to forget it so that he could leave a tip? That's how I would try to look at it.

At first it is freezing cold and makes you scream which makes the person putting it on your back (assuming it's going on your back) laugh hysterically.

Except when they are first put on, and when I forget they are there and find them when I'm taking a shower and it's all wet and icky.

Do you feel it is justice that the law considers "ignorance of the law is no excuse " when a law is broken without Intention?
Well, most laws are pretty much common sense, but if you break one of those stupid laws from a hundred years ago that just never got removed from the books, then I think you shouldn't really get into a crap load of trouble.

First of all, the school would probably have some sort of rule against that (boys at our schools would get sent home to change because it would be a disruption in classes).

First of all, relax. You're not going to break her, and worring about what you should do will make you both tense. Play with her and her toys. Read her books. Put in her favorite video. Play this little piggy. do raspberries on her belly. As far as feeding her, the parents must have left stuff for her or said what she can or can't have. You just spoon it in her mouth till shes done....

Second, because getting divorced is now such an accepted thing, couples don't bother to attempt to work anything out.

How old were you when you thought you had found your true love?

I still consider him my first love. We hooked up again years later, but we're better off now being just friends. I was devestated for years after we broke up!

The lead singer for 'The Bare Naked Ladies' has been arrested for drug possession...does this surprise anyone?
It more surprises me when you find out that someone in the music industry is not a drug user! It seems that even if they say they'll never do it, once they get into the industry, it just ends up happening. I give lots of kudos to those who stick to their guns and stay away from it! And at least he was arrested instead of how so many don't get bothered with because they are a celebrity.
Answer to:
Since a few states have passed a law against driving while talking on a a cellphone, should they extend the law to eating, drinking, shaving, applying make-up, etc.?
I remember reading in the paper (or maybe saw it on the news) a few years ago that a nearby city to where I lived then (suburb of Detroit) would ticket you if you were caught eating or drinking while driving, along with talking on the cell phone. If you were pulled over and had a mcdonalds cup in your cup holder, you'd get the ticket. It had something to do with distracted driving.

I guess it's kinda like how you don't get anything off of a hotel room if you don't use the shampoo or coffee, but they charge extra for a movie! lol

I'm not sure. I have one of those automatic pool vacuums that is kinda the same thing, it goes around vacuuming the bottom of the pool. If I just let it go (it is random, there is no motor in it) it would take 10 hours for it to get the entire pool. Usually I let it go for a few hours and then I push it around to where there might be anything left.

I very rarely watch Jerry Springer. I think the last time I did, it was about 6 years ago, maybe a bit longer, and my step-son and I were flipping through the channels. There was some guy who was pimping out his girlfriend around the trailer park so he could get bread, mountain dew, and cigarettes! That was the funniest thing I've ever seen! lol

Yes. It was a friend that I had known my entire life. She said I was a bad influence on my children because I got my tongue pierced, and that I wasn't allowed in her home with anything more than one piercing in each ear (I'd been in her home plenty of times with more than that in each ear). I asked her what kind of roll model she was by banishing me from her home for something...

Generic dish soap is horrible, you have to use half the bottle to get suds in the sink. I don't like generic english muffins, they have a weird texture. Otherwise, I buy mostly generic stuff.

Anyone hear about " sagging " pants becoming illegal in Riviera Beach, Florida. What are your thoughts on this? Is this law a civil rights violation?
I think it's awful that it's a law. How to dress shouldn't be a law. But, it should be perfectly legal for someone to smack these dumb ass kids upside the head for trying so hard to look dumpy instead of having a little pride in themselves. And little old ladies should be able to use their canes!

Technically it was purchased through a dealership. My husband works for Chrysler and we purchase cars off "the lot"...cars that were executive leases or pool vehicles. We go to this special lot and pick out the car, but all the paperwork and loan stuff has to be done at a dealership, then the dealership picks it up from the lot, and you get it from them.

Being professional and clean and such was very very important to him.

There is REAL grieving involved, and it's incredibly painful, and if having a funeral helped him grieve, then there is nothing wrong with it at all. This question almost has me in tears.

I am making a cake and do not have any "vanilla". Is there something that can be substituted or will it affect the taste if I go ahead and bake it w/o vanilla?
You can leave it out, or you can put in any other extract. When I make cookies, I use half vanilla and half almond. It changes the taste some, but it's so good. So I would say to try putting in almond extract. Depending on the kind of cake, you can use anything that sounds good to you! Chocolate cake might be good with a little orange extract, for example.

You'd have to make sure that you have regular vet appts to keep an eye on her and schedule a c-section. Or, you could have the puppies aborted.

Occasionally she'll have someone on who was in the news for overcoming something tragic, but that's really not the same as "help me find my baby's daddy" or...

I understand that people would just take animals all the time and lie about the care the animal, but there should be some easier way to remove a animal from an unfit place.

Here's something I've found online...

I wouldn't think they work. If they did, why are they selling them for $19.95 and you get them free for the rest of your life instead of needing to get them through your doctor or something? I tend to not buy any of that stuff in infomercials.

Don't laugh! I have this weird phobia of escalators...I've always been afraid that I'll fall and somehow my hair will get stuck in the conveyor and I'll be scalped or something equally horrifying...is this even possible?
When I was a kid I was afraid I'd get sucked into where the steps "disappear" if I didn't get off in time. It was very stressful! Anyway, yes, your hair could get caught if you fall, and it could be quite painful. Though the chances of you falling are probably much smaller than you feel they are! You can always take the stairs, there is usually a set of stairs pretty close...

Wrap their plates and put them in the fridge and warm them up later. And make sure they don't snack before dinner. If they're not eating and just screwing around, they're obviously not hungry.

How often do you ride the rollercoaster,is it something you enjoy doing or you just did it to experience what it feel like?
We go to amusement parks every few years, and that's all we ride are roller coasters. Why spend time riding stuff that is at the local carnival? We were very disappointed in Disney World because there weren't many roller coasters. We all basically expected Cedar Pointe or Six Flags with Mickey Mouse! lol

Answer to:
Do you think that grades truly show a measure of intelligence? ex. report cards. Why or why not?
Not necessarily. My son didn't get great grades because he learns better by doing hands on than with bookwork. My daughter has an awful time with tests. When I was in high school, I didn't give a damn and didn't bother much. You have to take much more into account than just grades.

Have you ever got ripped off whilst using ebay?
Yes. A couple times. Once I bought an autographed photo. I knew it was fake (even though they insisted it was real) but it was kinda a joke gift kinda thing so it didn't matter. It was only a couple bucks, but I never got it, and they were removed from ebay very soon afterward. I also purchased some discontinued filters for my water cooler and the sellers were given my old address by...

Do you think michel jackson is guilty
Here's what I have to say about Michael Jackson. He's very talented. He's had a lot of attention from the media and fans for a LONG time. He didn't have a normal childhood or great parents. I don't know if this was the cause, or if it would've happened no matter what he did for a living, but I believe he cracked somewhere along the line. I think he has a very...

I have a white boxer, he has just turned 8 weeks old. I also have two childern, a three year old and a five year old. Soilder {my boxer} is showing alot of aggression towards me and my kids, is he just playing when he crowls and bites us?
Well, he's 8 weeks old so he's still quite a young puppy! You need to give him as much stimulation as you can, and a puppy class would probably be a good idea so you'll know how to train him, play with him, and socialize him. (They have puppy classes at the bigger pet store chains, and you can look in the phone book or online, too) This is the only way puppies know how to play....

What's going to happen to me driving on a suspened licence. It was not suspended for drunk driving just traffic tickets
My son was driving on a suspended and got in an accident (tire blew and he hit a guardrail, no other cars involved). He got an extra three months and had to go to court. We got him a lawyer who put off the court date until after he got his license back, and did a good job of getting him only a $150 fine. (It could've been a lot worse!)

Meat and eggs. I used to be a big steak eater. Loved pork, chicken, veal, lamb. Now the thought of putting it into my mouth makes me physically ill. I haven't eaten meat since October.

I want to like pot, but I don't really yet. All my friends like it and I have so much fun hanging with them when they're stoned. What can I do to better appreciate the power marijuana has over my friends? Can I "learn" to like it?
You don't HAVE to like pot. That is perfectly fine. Just enjoy watching your friends making asses of themselves and keep your brain cells intact!

Do you put the cookies you don't eat or that are left over in your cookie jar?
I rarely make or buy cookies anymore, so I don't have a cookie jar anymore. I didn't use it often anyway. They'd either get stale or get mixed with other cookies so they'd all taste the same.

How can i soften up a new scar on my belly so i can later get my naval pierced?
I'd say to wait. I have a scar all the way around my belly button and I was told to wait at least two years before getting it pierced. I only waited a year and it was rejected. And I was also told that even waiting, it still might not take. Mine was actually fine until I changed it. Then the hole kept getting smaller until it just about fell out.

Whats the most romantic thing your lover has ever done, to show their love and apreciation for you?

It was Christmas time by then, and he asked what I wanted for Christmas, and I said I just wanted an "E". He said "What if I just drop the dot...then it would describe you!" I thought that was...

On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens per year...What would be the most embarassing way to go?
The most embarassing? I think it would be to get in a car accident while picking your nose, and the accident forces your finger up into your brain which kills you. I mean, how would your family explain that to people at the funeral home?

Is there such a thing as a semi-vegetarian or semi-vegan (someone who's not really into meat, but eats meat on occasion because of the protein and not because they crave for it)?
Well, I don't eat meat (beef, pork, chicken, lamb) and I only eat eggs mixed in stuff (if it's used for baking or whatever, and hard boiled in potato salad and such). I don't know what I'm considered. I looked it up once, but I can't remember the name, and I guess it's looked down upon by vegans, but I don't really care. I still eat fish (fish are not cute...

Which do you like eating better: rice, pasta or potatoes?
What your favourite dish including one of those three?
I LOVE potatoes. I can make a meal out of just a plain old baked potato with butter and sour cream and a little green onion or chives. My favorite dish with potatoes though is Aussie Cheese Fries from Outback. I've had fries with cheese and bacon on them other places, but they're never as good as Outback Steakhouse!

What is a Balloon Payment
It's when you have a scheduled large payment, usually because you have smaller monthly payments, and it basically brings your balance more up to date. It is supposed to give you the opportunity to save some money, but you have to be very diligent so you'll be able to pay the balloon payment! I didn't even know they still did that.
