I was wondering how different countries like Pakistan and China came to making clothes for the United States. I looked at my hoodie and a hat and started thinking about why different countries make our clothes. I want to know which trade agreements or treaties helped these countries become clothing producers for the US. Websites help too.

1. I'm not old. I am chronologically gifted.

2. I am so old. When I go out for a meal they ask me for the money up front.

3. At my age, flowers scare me.

4. Be nice to your children. They will choose your Nursing home.

5. Retirement is the best medicine.

6 Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognise a mistake when you make it again.

No, I haven't seen it, but I sure have heard about it. Personally I think it's some kinda of publicity thing. That's a really disgusting way of getting attention, but whatever. Anyway, my question is, where the heck can you see the actual video? Other comments/thoughts about the video are welecome.

answer the telephone with the TV remote? I just did and felt so foolish even though there was no one else here to see it. I'm wondering if that might be an indication of some old-timer's disease. Must be careful to keep this from my children or they might begin planning my special Sunday Afternoon Drive.

I believe what I say, I just shouldn't always SAY it. It's not hormonal, because I had a total hysterectomy a year and a half ago. .........Has anyone else experienced this?

If it was, would you have rather not known whether your baby was a boy or girl? Even if you are a younger parent, did you want to know?

We dont usually get snow until almost Christmas, and then we are all hoping for a white Christmas. It doesnt usually get really cold here until January, but its been snowing for a week now. Today its -12C (thats 12 degrees below freezing) and its damn cold out there.

I had to go to the store and my car never even warmed up, its about 9 blocks. I just cleared about 5 inches of snow off the car for that, and now its covered again.

I really dont like this, too much, too soon. I can think of a lot of reasons why a person should live in a much warmer climate.
"Winter Wonderland" is over-rated.

Last year my daughter and SIL were living up north, he was working on the rigs, and there snow almost covered the windows in their basement suite. But thats NORTH - we arent supposed to have extreme winters.

"They" are predicting this could the coldest winter Canadians have had - oh yay (not) Colder than 1994 when it hit -65 in Northern Alberta

I would just like to know some peoples opinions on the matter, and whether I'm the only person to think what I do.

Does anyone know what heritage the White Elephant gift exchange is from, or what country it started in? I don't need to know the rules or anything, or what you got in it, just its heritage. Not trying to be rude or anything, so don't take it personally..... And does anyone know why its called "white elephant"?

Asbestosis, Agent Orange, jobs in mines, oil industry etc.
Most of us forget the dangers still out there that are contaminating people.
When my son prepared to accept a job in Oregon in the oil industry he had to undergo testing for contamination. He passed after 12-15 yrs. exposure.
Without seeking the information the majority of us do not realize how
many have died.
Did you or the family receive any compensation?

Does that mean that rap musicians will be allowed to play there? Or no black comedians would be allowed to perform there? Because almost ever other word they use is the "N" word. Or is that law just directed towards white people?

What is your input?

Have the hackers taken over this site? I posted a question wanting to know if others had received an offer on their screens for being the winner of a prize that said it was not a joke. I have been ignoring it & wanted to know if anyone else was getting this same message. What's this all about, Alphie?

We have been here lately discussing Christmas and how we feel about it-Loved GW's dissertation-I was just over on the Christmas Y!A section and was so appalled I had to leave. A 14 yo wondering if a $40 gift was enough for her bf. People spending $25-$50 on "gag" gifts for work gift exchanges. And everyone wonders why we "olders" are disenchanted with the holiday.

An old man was sitting on a bench at the mall. A young man walked up to the bench and sat down. He had spiked hair in all different colors; green, red, orange, blue, and yellow. The old man just stared and stared. Every time the young man looked, the old man was staring.

The young man finally said sarcastically, "What's the matter old timer, never done anything wild in your life?"

Without batting an eye, the old man replied, "Got drunk once and made love with a peacock; now wondering if we're related"

Great show & I really enjoyed it, as it was one I'd never seen. The last original member of the Drifters performed, & they said that he passed away two weeks after the show that aired last night. I do remember hearing about that not so long ago.

I hate it when people make fun of disabled people. It is wrong and sad and should be banned. People mock them because of their conditions which they couldn't help. I'd love for them to be in disabled people's shoes for a day and see how they like it. I work part-time at a special needs center, and I they tell me the ridicule that they get. See to me honest, the people how make fun of them : they are the mentally retarded at heart. Do you agree ?
