One of the most infamous questions. What's your vote? Coke or Pepsi? Me: I love Classic Coke. Don't like Pepsi. I will drink Pepsi if it's the only thing in the house but I won't drink it at a restaurant. C2 is a good comprimise for me when it comes to diet versus regular. I hate Diet Coke. Like Pepsi One. Most times if it's diet I like some other kind of flavor. Rootbeer. Dr. Pepper. Red pop. I also can't stand Sprite or 7-up. How about you?

Personal things - not world peace (thought that would be really good right now) Me: 1. To have my grandmother back for any amount of time I could get - one year - one month - one day - even one hour. At 69 she went to have bypass surgery. I wasn't there. She didn't make it through. I don't have many regrets in my life, but not being there that morning is at the top of the list. 2. That my husband lives as long as I do. 3. That I could have had a child. How about you?...

OK folks, back to the real world. What do you do for a living?

I went to Goodwill and Salvation today. I love looking at the stuff...ok..junk. Sure, some of it is junk but there's just as much good stuff. I bought a pair of jeans for 4 bucks. Like new jeans that weren't even worn at the knees or arse. Most times I don't find any shirts or blouses worth buying, but I love the jeans. Some even have the tags on them still. I also like to look for skirts. I love skirts. There’s nothing like the freedom a skirt offers. I got a pair of sandals- ...

In preparation for making Christmas gifts I asked a friend what her favorite color is. She said she doesn't have one. Not have a favorite color? I thought everyone had a favorite? Am I just being childish? Mine is yellow. What's yours?

Monday Classes started at the local college. I'm taking six credits. Today was the first session of "Oral Communication for Managers." All of the other students are taking it as a requirment of a managemnt/marketing degree. I'm not going for a degree - just taking classes that appeal to me. I'm the oldest, besided the professor. I'm a good ten+ years older than all the other students. I'm OK with that - or at least I thought I was.... We had all the get-to-know-ya exercises. Two gi...

I'm a melancholy person. In general I think of the world in very dark terms. There have been times that I feel like I just want to die and get it over with. I don't feel like that now, but sometimes I worry that something bad will happen and I'll be that sad again. A few years ago I took a bunch of pills and ended up getting my stomach pumped. Everyone thought it was a suicide attempt but it really wasn't. I just wanted to be numb. I didn't want to deal with my emotions. How about...

I've read that the key to increasing your keyboarding speed is to type words not letters. I'm working on it but it's hard. It seems like instead of reversing a few letters I type a completely wrong word, which I think is worse. I took a test here Link Here are my results: Test Name: Strategic Alliances with Competitors Gross Speed 68 WPM Errors 30 words Net speed 58 wpm How about you?

I'm electrical engineer. It's all I ever dreamed of doing. Unfortunately I'm currently working as a packaging engineer. It sucks. Boooring...boooring. As a result I don't do my job. As a result I don't get good performance reviews. As a result they won't let me have an electrical engineering job until I improve my performance. Change will require me to move on to a new company. Right now that's not going to happen. So that's my story. What's yours?

Tomorrow, at the college library, Jeannette Walls, author of The Glass Castle will be reading from and discusing her memior. Unfortunately, this is the last week of classes and I have some major work to get done by Thrusday. Why in the world would they schedule this now? Just two more weeks and we'd be home free. So now I have to make the decision to go or not. It would probably my only chance to meet her - and I loved her book. She's an inspiration to me. A hero of sorts for what she ...

My husband has this theory about twist tie bags , so I thought I'd test it out here. So the next time you twist tie that bread bag CLOSED tell me whether you twist clockwise or counter-clockwise. When I get a few responses I'll know if he's right or not and then I'll share with you.

Here's the situation: (note: I really want to say this is a friend, but it's not it's me ) I have a family member who abused me for a long time while I was growing up. He was a juvenile (

There's been a lot of discussion around here about lying. In my view there have been some 'good' and some 'bad' discussion. Whatever. I guess this post comes out of these to some extent. This here is MY opinion. When I say 'you' I'm not talking specifically about YOU. No one has to agree with me on this and I'm not looking for an argument - just expressing myself. And nope, I'm not perfect, and yep, I'm probably a hypocrite. I've been known to lie to others and myself. Feel free to ...

I think I've shared before that I'm working towars a BA in English with the goal of teaching at a two-year college. I've only started taking classes at the local university this semester. I have three classes (9cr) so maybe I don't have enough experience yet to fully judge just how good this college is, but so far I'm highly disappointed. If there was another college within a reasonable driving area I’d check it out. The biggest think I’m learning is how NOT to teach a course! Here...

Yep, after 35 years I finally got one. And you know what? I'm going to participate, if I can come up with the extra cash I need to invest. Here's my idea: I'm going to take six index cards and write on them: Here's my two cents Don't be so STUPID! Get a real job and make your own d*^n money! If I'm feeling really generous I'll tape two pennies to each one. I can't believe people fall for this crap. The only people making money on this scam are the ones that sell the pr...
