What do you do when you can't take it anymore?

Stephanie5 @Stephanie5 (2946) • United States 24 Apr 09

Why am I expected to do it all, like it and keep my mouth shut about it? I'm not supposed to ask for help, I'm not suppose to complain. I'm suppose to take all the abuse that comes along with being their slaves, maid and...

Winter08 You sound tired. Can you get someone to look after the kids for a day (or more if possible) so you can get some solid rest? And some nourishing food that you can sit down to enjoy uninterrupted? Some things you should consider doing for yourself: See a...

I have a silly complaint about Dancing with the Stars

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 15 Apr 09

I like to watch it. I record it and skip all the commercials and narratives and just watch the dancing. It's really entertaining and I enjoy seeing the progress of some of the novice dancers. But do they have to dress the women...

Winter08 Sales. Advertizers want as many viewers as possible to see their ads. The bottom line is what is most important to the producers of these shows. And the bottom line is how to get the most viewers possible to watch a show so that the advertisers are...

Why do you want to live longer?

Bala @balasri (26537) • India 29 Mar 09

Is it to complete your responsibilities towards others, or to have the best of life a little more.

Winter08 I want to live longer in order to learn to live better. I have lived just to survive. Now I want to live to love. Unfortunately, I don't really know how to do that so I have a lot of learning left to do and I'm thinking I'm going to need all the time I...

Have you heard of Kombucha? What are your thoughts on this live culture?

consciousliving112 @consciousliving112 (79) • United States 24 Mar 09

I used to work at an organic restaurant, and one of our most popular drinks was Kombucha. Kombucha is a fermented tea made from a living culture, and it's commonly mistaken as a mushroom. The Chinese call it the "Immortal Health...

Winter08 A friend of mine has been using K tea for many years and has given me starter "mushrooms" several times. (I tend to get lazy about keeping the batches going.) My friend makes one batch of K tea using regular black tea and one batch of K tea using...

Another question from my daughter: What is on top of your Christmas tree?

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 7 Dec 08

Do you have a star on top? An angel? A special ornament? Something else? We put an angel on top. It is one that my son bought for me at his AWANA store (kid's club at church). How about your tree?

Winter08 I haven't as yet put up my tree ... which is a very small table-top model. Will get to it eventually, maybe. But ... I remember the angel that was our family tree topper when I was very young. Our angel was a white gowned plastic one with yellow air and...

Winter08 What stands out for me in this discussion is that the gun the kid used had the power to kill you in your own yard. A concern for me would be ... does this kid understand that, awful as it was that his shot hit your dog, it could have so very easily have hit...

Keith is BACK Tonight! Yipee!!

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 24 Nov 08

Is anyone else here as happy as I am that Keith Olbermann will be back tonight on Countdown? It's just not the same when he's not there; nobody else does the Worst Person in the World and that's my favorite segment. I know some...

Winter08 I don't know if he is liberal or not. What I see is a supporter of common sense vs stupid sense. I think anyone who comes out with "stupidity" will be finding a spot on the Countdown show. As for Obama, there is no way he can do it "right" all the time. He...

Winter08 Without cable, I don't have good TV reception so my "TV" is primarily YouTube clips. Which is where I first encountered Keith Olbermann ... my new favourite person to watch. I first saw him on a Letterman clip where he filled in for John McCain. Since then, I...

Dirty Keyboard/Sticking Keys

webeishere @webeishere (36313) • United States 11 Nov 08

Many a time someone has spilled something inside their keyboard. Many a time we eat at the computer dropping crumbs onto the keyboard. But how often do we clean our keyboard? If I spill something inside my keyboard I use...

Winter08 Thanks for the information on cleaning the LCD screen. I've been leary of cleaning mine because of possibly damaging it. As for my keyboard, I just turn it upside down and shake it. I did clean a friends keyboard a few months ago. I am still amazed at how...

Do you think we are losing our ability to "think critically?"

Coralie Raia Darsey-Malloy @Perspectives (7131) • Canada 9 Nov 08

Hello again, Before going into this discussion I would like to thank the many contributors who shared their views and feelings about the U.S. election. Each of you added much to the discussion and I value the opportunity to...

Winter08 "Do you think we are losing our ability to think critically?" No one can lose what they have not had. As a previous poster stated, education should continue after we leave the formal education system (if we live in a country that has one). And,...

If you drop some small change,do you bother to pick it up?

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 18 Oct 08

I always do. Well, not unless it fell on something dirty or yucky. I often see 5 centavo (around $.0011), 10 centavo (around $.0021) and 25 centavo (around $.0053) coins just lying on the pavement. Most of the...

Winter08 Even though a penny (1 cent) won't buy much of anything, I will pick it up if I see it lying on the ground. And I certainly pick up any small change that I may have dropped unless it has rolled under something where I can't get it. As previous posters here...
