Have you tried gambling and lost? How does it feel?

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 4 Oct 09

It doesn't mean we are gamblers, maybe out of curiousity or a result of friend's prodding. I actually did and I won a considerable amount. I was so happy that I went back again to the same place on my own but that time I lost. It...

JacquesF1 Gambling is really a problem. If you don't know when to stop and if you are using money meant for other things, then you really have a problem. I go the casino quite often but I know when to stop. I usually budget for this and when I'm done, I'm done. The...

JacquesF1 My personal diary is on my PC. Not only do I need to swipe my finger but I also have to enter my password. This makes my diary very secure, however, I need to confess that I don't often write personal things in my diary. Usually it is more work related as I...

JacquesF1 I'm also not an expert typist but I cope quite comfortably. I downloaded a typing course once, but I think I've only used it twice. The effort was just too boring. I started off with one finger and slowly progressed to nearly all fingers on both hands....

Which would you prefer: flings or real relationships?

aixshaonline @aixshaonline (600) • Philippines 17 Sep 09

I know that this question is typically a no-brainer, but my point here is just I've had friends who'd rather indulge in having flings rather than have real relationships. When I asked them why, it was because they're afraid of...

commitment

flings

relationships

JacquesF1 For most males I guess it would be a fling, rather than a relationship. I don't think that it is so much about commitment, than having as much variety as possible. On the other hand, some people do not want one-night stands and are more interested in long-term...

JacquesF1 I think it is all about living comfortably. I agree there are many people who are rich but do they actually enjoy their lives? Just look at a lot of our celebrities. In the end it is important to have all the necessities in life, but it will be nice to have...

pormadi @pormadi (1300) • Indonesia 17 Sep 09

If you have children, you should give them a good education. In my country, people tend to use homeschooling to prepare their children for having good education. Certificate can be legalized in ministry of education. Some people...

JacquesF1 I prefer formal schooling as it is not only about teachers prepared for what they are doing, but it is also about socializing. (I'm not saying or implying that people are not prepared who do home schooling.)Children need to mix with other children of the same...

JacquesF1 I have been smoking for many years and I usually smoke more when I am stressed about something; angry or when I socialise and have a drink. Sometimes at the office I usually join my secretary for a smoke which she does quite often. Not a good idea at all, I...

JacquesF1 Air crash investigations were also one of my favorites, however, it has always made me uneasy when I boarded a plane. In my mind's eye I have always seen the flames coming from the engine or something similar. But I have to agree with you, it makes you aware...

ibuemma @ibuemma (2953) • United States 15 Sep 09

When we are young we always have these dreams that "one day" or "someday" i will be a doctor or actress/actor or even millionaire. As time go by, usually those dreams one by one just 'died' and become a fairy tale. How many of...

JacquesF1 The first question I would ask is what the person did or did not do in order to live this long. Secondly I would like to know whether it is worth it to live this long if you see all old friends and family pass on. Then obviously I would focus on the changes...
