Typing speed is the reason..

ChoukseyMK @ChoukseyMK (1045) • India 3 Dec 17

I get surprised how new generation types with super fast speed using thumb tips of both the hands. They may be failed in real typing test on desktop or laptop keyboard. But I can't type using both hands. I may type hardly10 words...

CelticSoulSister I don't know what my typing speed on a phone pad would be, but on a PC keyboard on a bad day it's about 70wpm and on a good day about 90wpm. However, I was taught to type back in the 1970s in the traditional way and with practice, having been taught that way,...

Is this normal

ahmed yassin @gullver (561) • Egypt 3 Dec 17

I always like to be with a few people only one or two at maximum, I don't like to be among many people, so I do not go to wedding parties or funerals, I try to avoid crowded streets, I prefer to walk in empty or streets with few...

CelticSoulSister I don't think there is anything wrong with that at all. Some of us just prefer our own space in life. I too avoid crowds. I'm not at all anti-social, my reason for avoiding crowds is that I hate noise and I'm more than happy with my own company. However,...

Do you use coconut cooking oil in your cooking?

A loves B @A_loves_B (1608) • Indonesia 1 Dec 17

Cooking with coconut oil is similar with cooking with olive oil. But in my place, coconut oil is more common to use in cooking than other kinds of cooking oil. We use coconut oil for deep frying, sautéing, baking, roasting, and...

What is or was your most (or least) favorite subject in school?

Kerry @lovebeingmummy2 (806) • Aberdeen, Scotland 14 Aug 16

When I was at school my favourite subjects were Biology, English and Cookery or Home Economics to give it its correct title. My least favourite with maths and PE/Gym. What is or was your most (or least) favorite subject in...

CelticSoulSister Although I wasn't any good at it, my most favourite subject was art as I just enjoyed it. My least favourite was any kind of PE/sport as I felt that it brought out the worst in most of the pupils, making them aggressively competitive, plus I was useless at...

Adults don’t have enough fun in their lives

Fleur @Fleura (30539) • United Kingdom 1 Dec 17

When was the last time you really laughed about something? I don’t mean just a polite chuckle, but really laughed until your eyes watered and your sides ached, or you had a fit of the giggles and just couldn’t stop? It occurred...

CelticSoulSister I agree. The last time I really laughed properly rather than just a little chuckle or a grin, was probably more than ten years ago when I used to work with a girl who had a really unusual sense of humour. I'd be sitting in the office in fits of hysterical...

Does your area ever have a White Christmas?

snowy @snowy22315 (181948) • United States 28 Nov 17

I heard on the news we have an 18 percent chance of a White Christmas.That is not much obviously,so it is not likely to happen. I think once in the time I have been living in Central VA the past 12 years...there was one. However,...

CelticSoulSister The last truly white Christmas I ever remember in the area of the UK where I live (the south-eastern corner) was in 1970 when it began snowing on Christmas Eve, continuing all through Christmas Day. They say here that if we get even just one single flake of...

CelticSoulSister There are lots of things I couldn't tolerate, but I think the main thing would probably be living with somebody who is violent/abusive.

British Comedies, Mysteries and Real British Life

Faye @FayeHazel (40243) • United States 26 Oct 16

My parents got me into liking British TV series. The first one was "Keeping Up Appearances" - which is a comedy about this rather uppity lady named Hyacinth, who tries to act far more grand than she really is. She believes she...

CelticSoulSister I like sitcoms which are largely character-driven, with my overall favourite probably being Fawlty Towers. There are two other sitcoms from the past (both were on BBC) which I feel are brilliant but have largely been forgotten, they being Just Good Friends...

Are you scared of Dying.

Jim stewart @saulgoodman (2643) • Dundee, Scotland 17 Oct 16

Death. The final frontier or not depending on what you believe but in any case the end of life as we know it, aye aye Captain. So whether we will be beamed up or down to Heaven or Hades or be cremated to ashes or simply get eaten...

I dont want to be put in a coffin. Lid nailed down. Then wake up and find I am either being buried at sea or being cremated. How about you?

CelticSoulSister I sleep on my own in a double bed, but always on just one side - as to whether it's the left or the right side, depends on what angle you're looking at the bed from. I wouldn't be comfortable in a single bed, even though I treat my double bed as single. Many...
