Popcorn and movies

asdomencil @asdomencil (4265) • Philippines 9 Feb 13

I am just wondering why they are always associating popcorn when watching movies either in movie houses or at home. In my case, I hate eating while watching movies especiially chips or any that will create munching sounds. It...

Suzieqmom Well, popcorn doesn't really make much noise--maybe that's why it is served so often at the movies. But I really can't imagine watching a movie without eating popcorn...in fact, sometimes I bring my family to the movies just so I can get movie popcorn--yum!...

My current relationship with facebook

Aja103654 @Aja103654 (5646) • Philippines 9 Feb 13

I find it hard to log in on facebook. Not because of technical problems but because I am hesitant to visit the site. The things I like about facebook is that I can chat easily with people there, even people who I barely know....

Suzieqmom I generally have a "good relationship" with facebook, but I grow tired of it from time to time and then give myself some space...LOL! I like the updates from people I know (and care about) as well as the updates from the town, the police...

Why would you leave such a mess?

shiesse @shiesse (306) • Canada 8 Feb 13

My husband does some maintenance for some apartment buildings and houses owned by a friend of ours. He cleans up after people move out and fixes the places up so that they can be rented again. Some people just moved out of one of...

Suzieqmom Sometimes I suppose that it's because the tenants are elderly or have some other condition and so can't really keep up with it anymore, or maybe someone who works 24/7 and just gives up on the household chores, but really I think these kinds of reasons are few...

Suzieqmom Yes, it happens to us often, but usually it happens on purpose. We will rent movies to watch with the kids and only make it halfway through before their bed time. So we plan to watch the second half the next day, but usually end up watching the whole thing...

Babies with disabilities

asdomencil @asdomencil (4265) • Philippines 6 Feb 13

I just saw a photo of a baby with disability in Facebook this morning. It says that if you like, share or comment, a charity will be donated to the baby. I just wonder if facebook really give donation to the baby? One thing is...

Suzieqmom Generally speaking, I think these are scams. The ones that are truly fundraisers have a legitimate link to a charity or other organization that you can google and identify. I used to "like" or share these photos until I realized I was getting all kinds of spam...

Dominique25 @Dominique25 (9464) • United States 24 Jan 13

I would like to be able to earn more from writing articles. It just seems like it takes to long for me to think about it,organize it and then type it. Most of the time I need to be doing things online that doesn't require a lot of...

Suzieqmom That's interesting, because many scandinavian countries also have high rates of alcoholism and suicide due to the fact that their countries have a significant amount of darkness (and cold) during the winter months, as well as other reasons. See...

Clixsense Facebook Group Used For Unworthy Purposes

ARIES1973 @ARIES1973 (11426) • Legaspi, Philippines 25 Jan 13

I was browsing the internet, particularly facebook, to find some groups that I could join in order to give me additional friends and probably to promote my articles, when I came across Clixsense groups. There were several groups...

Suzieqmom There's a lesson in this for anyone who is an administrator of a facebook group--keep track of what other people are posting on your page, and if you do decide to abandon it, shut it down.

belindayhughes @belindayhughes (1096) • United States 19 Jan 13

I've been a contributor at Yahoo for some time now. Lately I am trying to write more often there and take advantage of their upfront payments. The guidelines are a bit strict for the articles seeking upfront payments. No poetry,...

Suzieqmom Thanks for sharing this and for giving such specifics on how Yahoo's process works. I am going to look into it--I write a lot for Triond but it just doesn't pay enough, so I am going to try and branch out to other writing sites. Are you the same name on...

I have been debating whether to foster the hamster from the shelter or not, or just adopt him. He is so cute, and loves the attention. He has been so depressed the last few days I have gone in. I stopped at Pet Valu to...

Do you know about the Golden Raspberry Awards?

youless @youless (112515) • Guangzhou, China 9 Jan 13

The Golden Raspberry Awards are for the bad movies. This year hard to believe that the movie The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn are the candidates for all these awards. I haven't watched it yet, is it that bad?

Suzieqmom That's funny! But I am not surprised...Park 2 certainly didn't live up to the hype--or even the "quality" of the first Twilight movie, which was ok. But honestly, the book Breaking Dawn wasn't great either. I read the whole series, but actually...
