I wonder if you guys take pictures whenever you go out with anyone or alone? One time, i went out with my friends, when I said that I want to take pictures, they don't budge nor flinch... Seems like they don't like to take...

cj5guy Are they people you know that you are taking pictures of? Just ask them, and if they don't mind then thats all you have to do. Strangers are another story, I have taken some great shots of the general public but I don't know if I could publish them since I...

There was a a time when I rated somebody a negative and a part of me felt guilty for doing so. I gave that post a negative because the grammar was awfully constructed, the post is too short to be understood and I can't seem to...

cj5guy Sometimes it's obvious that English is not their native language, but those that live in English speaking countries should have a basic grasp of the language to be understood. The rating I am referring to was in Ohio I think and my 5 year old son would do...

Several years ago, I read about a proposal for a flat tax and why is this not being considered. The tax laws are so complicated today with all the pages of legislation. A flat tax would be simple and very easy to file. Other...

cj5guy Whatever happened to the government working for the people? It seems we lost that somewhere along the line.

cj5guy we could use fewer lawyers and bureaucrats. Accountants would still have jobs as an actual accountant instead of being a so called "tax specialist".

Well, I kinda blurted out these set of words not knowing if I invented it myself or it already came from someone else. One of my best friends tried to comfort me after reminiscing on a year-ago's hard break up. She said, "past is...

cj5guy We study history to learn from our mistakes and learn how we got to where we are in the world. Without history, we could make the same mistakes over and over and never make progress in bettering ourselves as individuals and a society.

cj5guy With my children, if I try to take a posed picture, I usually don't get cooperation. I just quietly pull out the camera and take the pictures. I prefer the pictures of them having fun. Those pictures mean more to me, they show the emotion and capture the...

cj5guy If it was too short and contained horrible grammar, then you are justified in rating it negative. It's only a rating, it's not a life basing experience. I have given negatives for answers that have nothing to do with the question, and also for horrible grammar...

I don't know about you folks but I was just wondering what do people do when they are broke and have no one to turn to for help? What I mean is they have no one to ask for some money. Like even $5, $10 or $20. They don't have...

cj5guy I used to live like that, right now I'm not much better off but I have food on the table and most of the bills get paid each month. It's hard, some days I have no extra cash and I try to keep myself occupied. I have cut all un needed expenses, I don't have...

cj5guy Asus has always been a decent company, I was dealing with them back when they only made motherboards (or mainboards). I have been out of touch with the electronic news and trends lately, but I would be willing to give it a shot. If your friend likes theirs,...

cj5guy You need a hobby, something that you can do for several hours that keeps your mind occupied, sudoku tends to keep people busy for awhile, Anything that keeps your mind thinking about other things would work.

Prs. Obama has the nerve to tell Americans that we should be driving more fuel efficient cars, when his POV is a Chrysler 300C SUV. He's so proud of his "Cadillac!", but even though it was a custom job just for him, he never once...

cj5guy His 300C from the factory gets between 17 and 25 mpg, I'm sure it's much less since it has custom modifications. I agree with his stance on the issue, but he should set an example. The auto industry had vehicles in the 1950's that were getting over 50mpg, they...

Hello mothers. My 20 month old has recently started whining all the time. What do you do? How do you teach a baby that young to reason with you and quit whining to get her way?

whining

9 responses

cj5guy You can't give in. If you give her a toy she was whining for, than you are encouraging that behavior. Other than feed, burp, or change (well at 20 months, she should be burping on her own) She should have basic vocabulary and be able to let you know what she...

I have been subjected to low salt food, I feel it is just not acceptable to me, for controlling the bp, is it esential, are there any other modes to define taste buds?

5 responses

cj5guy Try Mrs Dash. I always have several varieties on hand, it's made with many different spices and herbs. They add great flavor to almost anything. Also you could try sea salt which is healthier for you.
