Is shopping a stress-free activity or not?

airasheila @airasheila (5454) • Philippines 11 Jun 10

Hi, just want to know if you happen to define that shopping is a way of relaxing. That we are doing this activity to de-stress ourselves. That when we shop, our mind are being relaxed. Do you find this activity, a way of...

cblackink Nope, I don't find shopping relaxing at all. It's just something I have to do. I enjoy shopping online a lot more though, because I can do it from the comfort of my own home. Walking around in stores for hours is exhausting. When I do shop, I always know...

pierrella @pierrella (1087) • Philippines 11 Jun 10

Since I started working, I haven't been really active in Facebook except to update my status message. I don't play the games anymore. I just lot interest. Even in quizzes, I don't take many anymore because I feel that all of them...

cblackink Totally agree. Most of the people on my friends list have nothing much to say of any interest. I get tired of hearing about what someone had for lunch, or how bored they are at work. I feel like the games are just big time wasters.

cblackink How is a robotic brain ever going to be better than the real thing? Our brains are capable of more than any machine ever will be. I don't see that as an improvement. And besides, our brains are used for more than just rationalizing. Our subconscious minds are...

cblackink Go online and look for recipes. It's very easy to follow a recipe. Two good sites are allrecipes.com and recipezaar.com. You can't go wrong as long as you follow the recipe. I am a very good cook but I still look for new recipes.

cblackink I don't really have a usual list of items. Just whatever's available at the time. Tomorrow, I'm taking a nice salad, but some days maybe lentils and brown rice or steamed vegetables. Occasionally, a sandwich. If I make homemade soup, some of that.

My cats have developed a strange craving.

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160663) • United States 2 Feb 10

cblackink I don't know about the betcarotene (Vitamin A). That could be the case. But my cats will eat canned pumpkin off a spoon! And since the two vegetables are closely related, there may be something to that. I give them pumpkin sometimes because it's very high in...

cblackink Some sort of salad. I love raw veggies! And you can add so many different things to a salad every single time. Salad never gets boring, since you can create a different type every time.
