Are you addicted to your computer?

SOCelestial @SOCelestial (1) • Belgium 10 Nov 09

For 8 years I have my own computer... And I really am addicted. I use it to work for school, to play games and to earn money. The computer is the first thing I see in the morning and last thing I see in the evening... Doesn't...

Mystic_Dragon I do love my computer and might be addicted, though I can go camping or trailwalking for a week and not even think about it. However, when I am home, I do use it all of the time. I run a business using my computer; I do research on it and use it as my...

Which do you prefer?

cmnavarro @cmnavarro (251) • Philippines 9 Nov 09

Nowadays, many people opt to buy e-books than to buy a 'real' book... Because of our busy schedules we no longer have the time to seat down and read a good book while having a cup of coffee/tea... Some people on the other...

Mystic_Dragon I much prefer hard copy. It just seems easier on the eyes, to me. I also seem to get "lost" in a hard copy much more easy. I do love my books and have a library in my home.

Does it bother you when people *hover* around you?

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 18 Mar 09

Does it bother you when people *hover* around you? I was at the library the other day on a computer, using the internet, and this guy was literally breathing down my neck waiting for my time to run out. I was so annoyed and...

Mystic_Dragon Absolutely YES! It bothers me that people can be so rude, especially strangers, to hover around. Nothing I am doing is their business. I get a really uncomfortable feeling and can even start perspiring. It is at this point that I do say something to them....

Book Mooch.com

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 9 Mar 09

Are there any Book Mooch members here? For those of you who don't know, Bookmooch.com is an AMAZING site! It has nothing to do with making money, of course, but is a used-book exchange site that is free to join and available to...

Mystic_Dragon Hi maezee, I have not heard of this site nor any like it. I really like the idea behind it. I will have to check out Bookmooch and see what the details are. Like what if I sent a book and they did not report that I had, I would get NO point? Cost of mailing a...

Thank goodness for smoke detectors!

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 9 Mar 09

Have you ever not taken your own advice? Just the other day I advised a friend of mine here to use a kitchen timer so that her water doesn't boil dry and then today I didn't follow my own advice! I heard the smoke alarm going off...

Mystic_Dragon Hiya Dragon, Of course I have dished out great advise and have neglected to follow it myself. I am much better at dishing things out to others. LOL The latest incident of this was last Friday night when Ghost Whisperer was about to come on. I had popped the...

Mystic_Dragon I did not know that toothpaste could be used to clean mirrors. I will have to give it a try. Thank you for that tip. I use toothpaste to fill small nail holes in the walls before I paint. Just put a dap on your finger and push into hole. Let dry and 10...

Mystic_Dragon Well, mailtoramesh, if I were to die tomorrow for sure, it's obviously too late for a cure soooooo ... First I would say goodbye for the last time to loved ones. I would then have a good meal followed by a long hot bubbble bath. I would then spend a quiet...

If your friend told you

Anora_Eldorath @Anora_Eldorath (6028) • United States 8 Mar 09

If your friend told you something about another person would you take it at face value, or would you investigate on your own? Yes, you remember those days on the school yard where Mary said she didn't like Jane anymore, so you...

Mystic_Dragon Hello Anora, I try my best not to even listen to anything negative about another person and all my friends know this. For the most part, my friends respect this and gossip is kept out of my earshot. I dislike the he said/she said games that are played. It is...

Should a myLot discussion be a place to rant?

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 8 Mar 09

I'm growing tired of these "discussions" where there is absolutely no room to discuss ANYTHING, it is simply the discussion-starters way of getting their opinions and frustrations out there for the world to see. Not to say that I...

Mystic_Dragon I think it is okay to "rant" or share an experience that really irked you. Lot's of people need to do so to help vent the fustration they are feeling. They just need to say what is on their mind and here is a safe place to do it. I do not think it is okay to...

suspenseful @suspenseful (40192) • Canada 4 Mar 09

A while ago, I started a discussion that does going to church make one a better Christian. Then I got several responses by people who said that even though they did not go to church, they were good Christians. Now I have read the...

Mystic_Dragon The Bible tells us that where two or mre are gathered in His name Jesus will be also. Does this constitute a church service? Maybe, however, there is much to be said for congregating in larger groups in church. As you stated ... better understanding of the...

What are your pet "pet peeves"?

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 12 Feb 09

Honestly, I LOVE my two cats, but I absolutely CANNOT stand when they shed all over...EVERYTHING! My clothes, my bedding, the couch, everything. I do groom them (and try to brush them each day before school), but for some reason,...

Mystic_Dragon We have a Chipom; a cross between a Chihuahua and a pomeranian. She sheds everywhere, too. I am forever dusting and cleaning up furballs. I vacumn my tiled floors because a broom just spreads the happy furballs around. That is one pet peeve. Another is she is...

Do you not read some discussions because of how they are written?

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 3 Mar 09

Mystic_Dragon I do not think that you are, in any way, being overly picky. It bothers me as well. I dislike it when I get something to read that is not broken up into paragraphs. I find that I get lost and re-reading several times. I usually give up as I think if they did...

Mystic_Dragon It would be good to get up and do something else about every 30 minutes or so. Not only will this help your eyes, it will help with your circulation. Sitting for prolonged periods of time can cause blod clots to form and also for blood to pool in lower...
