If you had to live one day of your life over and over again, which would you choose?
The day I found out I was pregnant for the first time after 2 years of trying.........
Where do you consider home? Is it the place you grew up; the place you're currently living? Why is it home?
Submitted by uncagedbird.
I consider the place I live now to be my home, Santa Cruz, CA. I grew up migrating all over the bayarea. I was actually conceived and incubated in the Santa Cruz Mountains in a town called Felton. A few yrs after I was born, my mom and dad moved to Antioch, CA and I lived there until I was about 6yrs old. After that I moved to Sacramento, then to the Peninsula and primarily Redwood City, CA. Although I have fond memories of what I consider my “Hometown” Redwood City, CA – I wouldn’t call it my home. I only refer to it as my hometown because I spent the greater part of my childhood and adolescence there.
Once my Hubby and I moved in together, we tried a myriad of different places – Redwood City, Sparks NV and San Jose CA….all places we were somewhat happy living in – but none of the houses we lived in ever felt like home. Not even the home we purchased in Sparks! It wasn’t until we re-located to Santa Cruz last year for work that we finally felt like we found our home. I don’t know exactly what it is about Santa Cruz that gives us this feeling, but we just feel like we have lived here our entire lives. We absolutely adore our rental, we have a very good landlord, we have jobs that allow us to afford the high cost of Santa Cruz and all and all we have a sense of hometown pride! I think “home” is definitely where your heart is and our hearts are in Santa Cruz!

Who's the most annoying person on TV?
The TOP HONORS have to go to Duston Diamond - what a WASTE of human life and airspace! I grew up watching him on “Saved By The Bell” as the lovable Screech, but the over the years he has turned into one hell of a DOUCHBAG! I normally have not watched Celebrity Fit Club in the past - however this season I thought I would give it a chance....and boy did I want to PUNCH THIS DUDE! He is the most hateful, self-centered, rude, closed-minded, idiotic person I have EVER seen. His arrogance and thoughtlessness was astounding! I know by posting this, I am feeding into EXACLTY what he wanted, but I don't care! He went on that show just to cause drama and get all the airtime he could possibly get. The POINT of the show was to adopt a HEALTHIER life style and therefore, get healthy and lose weight. The winning team would be decided by the team the lost the GREATED combined weight loss percentage - NOT TOTAL weight. DD persists that he will continue to eat junk, not work out and show the world that he can lose weight. At the end of the season, he DID lose 30lbs - but he did this by taking fat loss pills, sweating in a sauna and not doing ANYTHING healthy?!?!?!?!??! How is that WINNING? I cannot stand ppl that are so into their OWN B.S. that they cannot admit to being wrong or seeing the flaw in their own argument. This guy is a total "F"ing loser and will continue to be one the REST of his life! What a lonely existence! Way to be alone in your principals!!!

5. SCRUBS
6. This Biggest Looser - when it comes on again

6. The Soup - BECAUSE IT REALLY ROCKS!
7. Flavor of Love Charm School - I do not watch religiously, but I will take part when I am folding laundry on Sunday's
