To be late for your appointments

lucia2 @lucia2 (103) • Italy 7 Aug 10

Are you almost never late for your appointments?

LucyMatteo I used to be late, always. And then one day, I was meeting a friend who was always on time. This time I was on time and she was really late. I got pretty worried. She told me she came late on purpose, to teach me a lesson. And she did! I have rarely been...

How fast do you go through books?

minx267 @minx267 (15527) • Hartford, Connecticut 5 Aug 10

I haven't read a book in months. I love to read.. but books are expensive and I don't get to the library often and even then I don't find many of their hardcovers are convenient books for me to carry around. So, I heard...

LucyMatteo I like to buy books that I will refer to often, like computer program instructions, how to, the dummy series and books like that. Also, you can get some really great buys on Amazon, you buy used books and they ship them to you. They usually come pretty...

do you fear on failures? what would you do?

jingcentz @jingcentz (49) • Philippines 5 Aug 10

I do fear on failures. I don't want to disappoint my family and love ones because I failed on a situation. But, you can never tell when failures may happen. It was my experience to be failed once in my life when i gave up...

failure

LucyMatteo If you fear failure you will never try anything. I don't fear failure -I don't plan on it but it sometimes happens and you have to accept that as part of the risk of taking action. I have failed, several times, but I have succeeded, too. And I wouldn't have...

Do you always follow recipes from books to the letter?

Bluebelleangel @Bluebelleangel (428) • Philippines 4 Aug 10

I am fond of cook books and I have a good number of them maybe because the photographs are mostly enticing and very appetizing just looking at it. But when I do cook I don't always follow exactly the recipes I try to cook....

LucyMatteo Hi Everyone, I hardly ever follow a recipe exactly. For one thing, it gets pretty expensive getting all of the ingredients. Usually what I do is look through a bunch of cookbooks or online recipes, and take what I live from several of them. The few times...

LucyMatteo Minx, I hear ya! I love to read, read really fast and often! When I buy books, I only buy ones with a lot of pages to get my moneys worth! Because I was spending so much, I started going to the library. Now I can read all the books I want regardless of page...

Choosing a career: the degree you have earned or just work in a call center?

aaronfyzeon @aaronfyzeon (1920) • Philippines 5 Aug 10

After graduation, your hopes are soaring high. You have really made it at last after a long hardship of studying in college. Now you have a bachelors degree and you are proud of it. It's now time for a job hunt. Unfortunately, the...

LucyMatteo There are so few jobs I would take whatever if I could stand to do it, and continue to look. Employers do not look with favor on someone that hasn't worked in a long time. They would rather see that you took something, even though it might not be your...

To Whom shall you open your heart?

shiyam06 @shiyam06 (2) • India 5 Aug 10

Hi, We all have our restrictions in sharing our personal things with certain people. We believe they will keep it secret and also we will get opinions or guidance in inthings we cannot share in general. So share your thought to...

LucyMatteo I never did share much with my parents, I always wanted them to think I was perfect! How stupid, in retrospect, that is what they are supposed to help us with. I share with some things with my friends and husband. Mostly I like to figure things out on my...

What do we know about the spirit that 'may' live within each living body?

tweetbird @tweetbird (161) • United States 5 Aug 10

This is a question for people of all Christian religions and non-Christian as well. Have you ever given much thought about your spirit? I am not talking about the Spirit Of God or the Holy Ghost but your individual spirit. When...

LucyMatteo Tweetie, all excellent questions. Don't know what you mean by NDR I don't know the first five, but as to number 6, I don't think a spirit ever dissipates. I believe in reincarnation and feel our spirit always returns with us. My mother and a very good...

Does being optimist gives you positive results?

aaronfyzeon @aaronfyzeon (1920) • Philippines 5 Aug 10

Think positively! That is what we always say, If we are stuck in a difficult situations in life all we have to do is do whatever it takes to have the desired outcome. If we try to think about the positive results in the end in a...

LucyMatteo I have always chosen to be an optimist. Sometimes I am optimistic even when a situation doesnt really merit it. I DO NOT think optismism necessarily leads to postive results. I do think it opens to your mind so that you are more open to solutions. I also...

sleepyredd @sleepyredd (201) • United States 4 Aug 10

I went to sonic to day to get me a cherry limeade and also grabbed a breakfast sandwich. I am addicted to the limeades. Mango was my favorite but they didn't bring it back this year. UGH! Anyways most of what I will eat at fast...

LucyMatteo Yes! I love Sonic. I used to live in Pittsburgh (PA) and they advertised there but didn't have any. So now, here in Florida we have them. Great place for cheap eats. Like the car service at the car. Love the Limeades, too.

Movies vs. Books. Which are better?

spazz435 @spazz435 (322) • United States 5 Aug 10

I know for me I prefer to read the book than to watch the movie, because movies always leave out great detail that is in the book. I wouldn't really mind reading the book and then watch the movie, only then I will watch it and get...

books

movies

LucyMatteo Hands down, I would rather read a book! They are sooo much better, more detailed, and you can use your imagination as to what characters and places look like. And books are original, movies made from books, well - they are just copies. And the movies from...
