Do you buy books in the stores or get them online?

annamol @annamol (275) • United States 15 Jul 10

I like to read real books but often I have to get books online. I always can easily find some book online rather than searching for it in the stores. It's difficult though to read from the screen, tiresome. I print a book if I...

Where we really happier way back when?

oldchem1 @oldchem1 (8132) 13 Jul 10

I am guilty of it as I am sure most people of a certain age are - the old 'We were happier when I was a kid!' speech. It is a theory that people only think that they were happier in the past because they only remember the...

Nestonlady Hi Oldchem :) Your memories of childhood are very similar to my own! The sun always shone during the Summer hols, it did honestly! I can remember my arms and legs being nearly black, I tanned so much and sun cream was unheard of then.I spent some of my...

Watch TV and don´t gain weight!!!

marguicha @marguicha (223964) • Chile 11 Jun 10

Nestonlady Hi marguicha :) That sounds an interesting idea and I suppose there could be something in it but I'd be highly delighted if the only thing I had to do to keep my weight down was mute the TV commercials! :)

Are you a hoarder or a minimalist?

Porcospino @Porcospino (31366) • Denmark 10 Jun 10

I am a minimalist and I often give things away to friends or donate things to charity. I don't like to have too many things, and I only want to keep the things that I really like and the things that I am going to use again. My...

Nestonlady I'm afraid I'll have to admit to being a hoarder although I don't think I'm as bad as my dear old Mum, who sadly, is no longer with us.She had a thing about keeping newspapers and when we tried to throw them out,she would tell us that she hadn't read them yet!...
