Do you get frustrated when a project gives you problems?

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 22 Aug 07

I have realized again in the past couple of days how frustrated I get when a project doesn't go right. We have a light switch in the bathroom that doesn't always work, so I wanted to replace it. I helped my Dad replace switches...

Computer down - TTYL

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 13 Aug 07

My computer went down so I won't be able to respond to discussions as much for a while. I'll have to sneak on when my wife is not using her computer until I can get mine working again. It won't boot up at all, so it may take a...

Why do women want to throw everything away?

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 7 Aug 07

Last night while my son was here, my wife was going through some things that we have stored from when our son was growing up. She found an equalizer that he had as part of his car stereo system back in his younger years. He said...

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 7 Aug 07

Have you been watching the Bourne series of movies? When the 3rd was about ready to come out, I watched the 1st and 2nd one again to get ready for the new one. I thought the Bourne Ultimatum was great. If you have seen it, without...

500th post

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 2 Aug 07

I reached that first milestone - a 500 rating beside my name. Yippie yippie yeah! I didn't think it would be a big deal, but I am sort of happy about it. I already noticed a difference. There is now a "Add an image" button when...

Film at 10

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 2 Aug 07

Imagine your day today was video-taped from start to finish, and at 10:00 p.m. you were forced to watch the video. First, would you be "different" during the day if you knew you were being filmed? Second, if you didn't know you...

Do you mind waiting for items you order online or through the mail?

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 29 Jul 07

I am very impatient when it comes to waiting for things. When I want something, I want it right now. That's one of the reasons I don't buy a lot of items online. But if I can't find something in the store and end up ordering it...

What is your phobia?

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 28 Jul 07

What is it that you are really afraid of? For me it is spiders. I can't explain why. I grew up on a farm and I used to catch spiders and keep them in glass jars. I don't even know why I did this. Maybe now I am afraid all their...

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 28 Jul 07

Do you use your speed dial, or phone book on your phone?

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 25 Jul 07

Do you have a lot of numbers stored in memory that you use to dial friends or family? How about the speed dial? My wife makes fun of me when I try to use our new phone's phone book. She says she could dial faster than I can find...

How do you get rid of pests?

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 25 Jul 07

No, I'm not talking about friends you want to get rid of or relatives who come and stay to long. I'm talking about animals like squirrels and rabbits. We have many squirrels in our back yard. They are chewing up our deck, and kill...

What is the strangest wrong number you ever dialed?

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 23 Jul 07

Yesterday my wife dialed what she thought was her mother's phone number. When someone answered, the voice said, "Hello, this is George...." The only problem was, we knew George and he died about a month ago. She had accidentally...

Do bad people think they are good?

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 21 Jul 07

Out of the blue my 4-year old grandson asked yesterday "Do bad people think they are good?" It really made me stop and think. I'm guessing that many people I think are bad actually consider themselves to be good people. I'm sure a...

Why is someone upset at railroads?

DanaMark @DanaMark (807) • United States 3 Jul 07

Today I saw a bumper sticker which said, "The Railroad Nation. First they use us. Then they abuse us." Does anyone know why there are enough people who feel this way that there are bumper stickers about it?
