Actually the answer is, it depends. Vinegar and water will freeze. If it freezes in the car's windshield washer tank it might break the tank. On the other hand, if you live where it doesn't freeze that wouldn't be an issue.

Clay mask to heal acne?

Hominid comments on Apr 8, 2018:

I had terrible acne as a teenager - the only thing that cleared it up was antibiotics. When summer came and I was outside all day at our family cottage, sunlight cleared it up as well... I was told it was the disinfecting qualities of ultraviolet rays that did it.

DUCHESSA replies on Apr 8, 2018:

And it may be right. I use -daily- sunscreen. I will start to apply it every other day. Thanks

Clay mask to heal acne?

sknape comments on Apr 8, 2018:

I suffered with acne as a child and tried everything. Clearasil, Stry-Dex, Egg masks, prescriptions. It was only when I send to Air Force basic training and was required to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day that my face finally cleared up. It might not work for everyone, but it did for me.

DUCHESSA replies on Apr 8, 2018:

I had very mild acne, localized, when I was a teen....and I exploded each pimple I found until the root ended up out of the pore. Now I have "inflammation" (bumps) under the eye and I don't want to use chemicals. I drink two to three bottles of water a day

Music that feeds your “soul” Do you have any bands that feed your being?

DUCHESSA comments on Mar 26, 2018:

It depends....goes from Mozart to The Beatles....or maybe listening to Sislena Caparosa and, then, to Julio Sosa or Ima Sumac.. Sislena Caparrosa. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/hpWgohsa5Rk

What makes a person a dog lover or cat lover or both?

Clare comments on Apr 7, 2018:

I used to like dogs, but When I was really young I was bit in the face and since then there is no love loss for dogs, here.

DUCHESSA replies on Apr 8, 2018:

Talking about being bit by a dog. My niece was 5 y/o when her puppy bit her also on the face. My "de"brained sister run the kid to the hospital yelling that the puppy should be put to sleep....BUT I WAS THERE....AND IN FRONT OF THE COP AND DOCTOR I ASKED MY NIECE IF SHE HAD DONE SOMETHING TO THE PUPPY...MY "ADORABLE" NIECE CONFESSED TWISTING THE PUPPY'S TAIL THREE TIMES OVER. I told her "You deserve to be slapped fast & furious..." I had four cats since then; I never let my niece to play with them.

What is your favorite place to eat that is not fast food?

DUCHESSA comments on Apr 8, 2018:

It all depends on what I want to eat. Of I want a real BBQ I will go to an Argentinian or Uruguayan restaurant but if Irish food is calling an Irish pub near my home is the place.

DUCHESSA replies on Apr 8, 2018:

@qwertykeyboard Ask the Irish...but Sheppard pie would qualify.

The people running the nude resorts are so skillful about pointing out perverts that is amazing the FBI doesn't hire them. When a member is found doing something wrong he/she is kicked out of the resort and his/her name is entered in the AANR computer (nationwide).....Never again that person will be allowed in a nude camp.

Does anyone else have a problem with the Pledge of Allegiance?

I've never liked that or playing the National Anthem at ball games. It smacks of nationalism, and that can be dangerous.

@Sticks48 If you only knew I am a Latina. I would appreciate you keeping the insults inside your pockets. Thank you.

DUCHESSA replies on Apr 7, 2018:

@Paul4747 If deporting the Mara Salvatrucha members doesn't help....why, then, they don't get the punishment they deserve. Their continuous recruitment in El Salvador make this gang also an illegal immigration problem. No pretendas hacer creer que soy tontita y no sé sobre el tema.

DUCHESSA replies on Apr 7, 2018:

I don't know if the English language has a word for it...but in Spanish extreme nationalism is defined as PATRIOTERISMO...which means the exaggerated / blind love of one's country and total contempt for the rest of the world's achievements and culture. I don't think honoring the flag and singing the National Anthem amount to anything dangerous.

I’ve been married 15 years to a religious Latina woman.

DUCHESSA replies on Apr 6, 2018:

@Paul4747 The wall you so much criticize was started by Reagan. Additionally, it has nothing to do with Trump and racism. Today, for instance, in Long Island (NY) the body of a 29 y/o Latino man was found; apparently he was killed by members of the MS 13 for not wanting to became a member of said gang. This is one of many bodies found in said are during the last few months. Please, do tell me why we need to import criminals? I speak Spanish and I hear what the Latinos say. Obama deported more people than other presidents...simply, he did so quietly. I don't have the knowledge to elaborate on other areas of his tenure....but I agree with his approach to illegal immigration

The smarter you are, the less need you have to follow a religion...

SeeCanU comments on Apr 6, 2018:

that's what i've always heard... more education = less religious. but i've seen some people who don't' have a formal degree be pretty darn smart... like that Sarahroo29,,,, she's got her head on right !!!

DUCHESSA replies on Apr 6, 2018:

The problem is that many people tend to see intelligence and education as synonyms. They are not. A person is born -or not- intelligent...No college is going to make a wise person out of a dude with an IQ of 65. Now, to succeed in getting a degree indeed we need a "decent IQ"...150+?. Additionally, education (college +) teach you a given discipline...it doesn't mean also provides you with common sense.

Do you support Trump?

SunnySmiles comments on Oct 6, 2017:

I joined this dating site in HOPES there were less conservatives here. I have walked away from family and friends who support trump and will refuse to date anyone who does. Not being snobby but its more of a moral decision than a political one

DUCHESSA replies on Apr 6, 2018:

@delboy2kent Great post...you are going to be belted for your comments. Sometimes, I think people are ten times worse than the politicians they attack / criticize. Yes, if their party didn't win they lower their arms and senselessly wiggle their tongues during four years....when the truth is they should join their efforts to build a better country. "Is not what the country can do for you but what you can do for the country." JFK

Im old fashioned. I still believe in the idea of "courting" but with modern twists. I open car doors, walk on the traffic side of a sidewalk, and look at a girl in the eyes when she talks to me. No using a cell phone on a date; it stays on silent. I don't see much of this going on at all anymore.

If we don’t stop illegal immigration we’re going to end up in the same shape as the countries where those people are coming from. Over population is the number one problem in the world and we don’t have to facilitate it by welcoming everyone to come in and stay with us!

DUCHESSA replies on Apr 5, 2018:

What really annoys me is the illegals' reaction; they cry racism, xenophobia and the likes....Gee, is the same like a criminal accusing you of discrimination for not leaving your front door unlocked to easy out his "job".

@Petter Until Katrina did away with the dunes....you had Gunnisson Beach (Long Island), field # 5 as a "Clothes optional beach". In New Jersey you have Sandy Hook....and I don't remember the names of other beaches in the country that are, also, nudists. The signs are to inform the people just in case they don't want to be in a nude area. I was in Costa Natura.
