Merry Christmas, Xmas or Happy Holidays...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 11 Nov 07

When you write about Christmas do you use the word Christmas or do you shorten it to Xmas? Does it irritate you when other ppl shorten it or are you indifferent to it? I personally use the Christmas simply b/c it's what I was...

DesigningLife Actually, it has intrigued me as to why some people get upset when it is said one way or the other. They are just words. Words used simply to express one person's wish that another person will have a pleasurable and memorable event during the time when...

Bird droppings on white cars? Which colour is the safest?

nothingbetter2do @nothingbetter2do (235) • Australia 11 Nov 07

I'm thinking of getting a new white car but someone told me that birds tend to target white cars to poop - is that true? Which colour is the safest from birds?

birds

DesigningLife Wow that is interesting and I have never heard that birds choose various colors to "eliminate" on. (Kind of chuckling to myself thinking about it). Aside from the bird thing, white vehicles (where I live when there is snow in winter, salt and sand trucks...

Do you stir your coffee clockwise or counterclockwise?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 11 Nov 07

DesigningLife Lordwarwizard, your discussions are FUN! I have honestly never thought about it until you posed the question. I stir my coffee clockwise and I am right handed. I keep my wrist fairly still and just maneuver the spoon around with my thumb and index...
