How many hours do you stay in the net?

kharen @kharen (1488) • Philippines 2 Aug 09

AT times, I decide to stay for at max 3 hours but often end up staying for more hours. But now, I'm trying to control myself. I don't want to be called computer addict. I write stories online and manage my sites that's why...

Excelsus Hey Kharen, Actually I spend way too much time on the net. I don't really mind being called a computer addict, since it's a huge part of my job as an IT professional. I use it for my education, work, and recreation, so I feel I'm kind of appreciative for...

Would you want to know how much longer you have on earth?

MAllen400 @MAllen400 (829) 2 Aug 09

I always thought that I would love to know how much more life I had left so that I could do all those things that I have been meaning to do and never got around to doing and knowing that if I dont do it now I never would. I have...

Excelsus Personally I think it'd be hard to know how much longer one has to live. When you think about it, everything we do in life changes how long it'll take for us to die out. yet, having the ability to know it would be unusually cool in a way, if you had a way to...

Do you agree that nothing is free in this world?

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 2 Aug 09

We often heard that there is no such thing as free lunch, and that nothing is free in this world. Once in the library, we met a few Buddhists giving out free books and free videos. I wanted to take the free books, my mother...

Excelsus This is just my opinion, but i honestly believe there isn't anything free in this world. Everything has a price, weather it be time, money, or effort. Even a free book, can have some cost for writing in them, binding the pages, publishing, etc. Everything in...

Have you ever gone dumpster diving?

Link @BambooPanda13 (867) • United States 2 Aug 09

I have! I don't actually get in the dumpster, but I've lived in apartments the last 4 years and the last two have had good stuff. People put their stuff out by the garbage. I've found great stuff like working vacuums, working...

Excelsus I'm an IT technician, and a hard believer in recycling. Sometimes when driving around I'll see people throw out equipment that actually works perfectly, and sometimes I pity the state of all the stuff I see being thrown away that still has a few good years...

grlsntgry7 @grlsntgry7 (95) • United States 1 Aug 09

Ugh why do some jobs have to suck so much? My job has great hours and good pay, but I guess its just the people I work with. I have a co worker thats a real jerk and thinks shes way batter than me. The sad part is that its just...

Excelsus I have had jobs like that before, some co workers were hard on me for no reason at all, possibly hoping I would cave in overtime, maybe to test how I can handle the abuse, maybe to test if I was strong enough to be cool with them, there were other times where...

Excelsus Personally when I'm dating, I like to call my partner by a mix of nicknames or love words, while enjoying her to do the same. My reason is a bit different, I feel having the same thing becomes too redundant and repetitive at times. why dull a relationship in...

Excelsus I actually saw something similar to this on an episode of House M.D. There was a patient who was dying and the family was an extreme religious group. House had to convince the people that they had to save their son by not relying on religion and leaving it to...

Link @BambooPanda13 (867) • United States 2 Aug 09

I am Black and Irish. When I tell people this, they just go, "Oh white." I'm like "No, IRISH." Also, most people just dismiss me being Irish at all and look at me like I'm crazy when they see I am interested in my Irish heritage...

Excelsus I fully agree with you, sometimes society can be a bit expressional based on what their eyes can see. I'm African American and also Jamaican, and the first thing that comes to others mind is pot head or something outrageous like that. Even before i found out...

Which room is your favorite?

ahgong @ahgong (10064) • Singapore 2 Aug 09

We all live in a home. And under that roof over our heads, there are rooms. And every room has its purpose. The bed room is where we all go to bed at night to rest for the day. The living room is where most of us will be...

Excelsus My favorite room in the house is my bedroom. It's customized to my needs as a college student, while doubling as my relaxing place. Of course I still need to look into some new furniture to make it more awesome, and I want to paint the walls blue to give it a...

Excelsus Hatley, you're a very strong person to continue fighting against the problems that turn up around every corner in life. I've felt the same, I've had my share of homelessness, and sometimes it got to a breaking point to where I thought I would lose my life, I...

Excelsus I somewhat feel similar to your subject, just not the sickness. Over the years I have felt more alone than I used to, a lot of my old friends have disappeared from my life. It is a bit unfortunate, but It's still the first day of the rest of my life, I'm sure...

Excelsus I can agree with you. I'm not sure how it completely is there, I'm in america, and with the way economy is here, things are a bit hectic here too. Most of the dealerships are trying to sell cars like crazy so they don't lose business altogether, and i tend to...
