Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Will there be a Spice Girls reunion?Smallicon
2 of 15

The Spice Girls were just a flash in the pan, and they have gone their separate ways since the height of their respective careers in the late 90's. So no, I don't see any reunion in their futures. One of the main reasons why I think they won't reunite is that Posh Spice (aka Victoria Beckham) has outgrown her other former ba... More..

Health & Fitness > Depression Is money invariably linked with depression?Smallicon
19 of 55

Money is definitely linked with depression, although not necessarily always the cause of it. Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Usually there is not enough serotonin or nor-epinephrine circulating around up there in the gray matter. But what causes those chemicals to get out of whack? Could be any num... More..

Arts & Humanities > Art Appreciation The effects of art on perception and emotion
13 of 22

The effects that art can have on your perceptions and emotions is endless! And since no two people ever really interpret a piece of artwork the same way, everyone's perceptions about a particular piece are quite different, and those perceptions influence their emotions on the piece. For example, most people are pretty famili... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Food & Agriculture Should people eat only locally produced, organic food? Smallicon
11 of 18

In a perfect world where it was easy to access locally produced, organic food, and was affordable as well, I'd say yes. That however, is not the world in which we live. There are in fact many reasons why it would be wonderful to eat nothing but homegrown foods constantly, such as the health benefits, not having to worry if y... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Are people inherently good?Smallicon
57 of 83

After all the jerky people I have met in my lifetime, especially during my college years, I would say that people are definitely NOT inherently good. This is one of those nature vs. nurture type things. I've known some people who had the greatest parents in the world and still turned out rotten. And I've known some people wh... More..

Home & Garden > Gardening (Other) True gardening stories: The spouse and me, a funny/tragic/moving tale
25 of 35

Gigantically tall, chocolate brown, moon-faced and full of bird-attracting, salty seeds, and long delicate swaying petals engorged with the sunshine of Spring. Who doesn't love sunflowers? My husband, apparently, even though he still swears it was all an accident. Last summer I thought I'd try my hand (or black thumb as oppo... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Home hair-dyeing disasters
10 of 13

Let me just start by saying that I am the QUEEN OF HOME HAIR DYE DISASTERS! You'd think I would have learned my lesson after the first time or five, oh but no, I just never gave up on getting that perfect shade at home! The first time I screwed up my hair color was when I let my good friend Karen dye my hair when we were in ... More..

Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Will Britney Spears' new album revive her singing career? Smallicon
42 of 47

Does anyone even care about what Britney Spears is doing anymore? It seems like everything she has done in the past several years (at least that has been in the media) has all been for shock value and nothing more. Maybe she does have some serious mental problems, you know, it could be that more than her just trying to get a... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Childbirth & Labor Dealing with anxiety through pregnancy: Anticipating labor and delivery
22 of 22

My husband got the biggest surprise yesterday for Fathers' Day. He found out that he is going to have a new son or daughter. This will be his second child and my first. I didn't really think I COULD get pregnant, since we had been NOT using birth control for several years and nothing had ever happened. But I guess the timing... More..
