Am I Sending Out Bad Karma?

Brian @wolfie34 (26771) • United Kingdom 13 Jun 07

I've been trying to analyze this for days now and I've come up with a few ideas, trouble is my imagination gets the better of me and often runs away like a 100mph bullet train! Why am I getting all this bad luck? Why is my life...

deanbenji Sometimes it goes like this and I almost feel that way right now myself. But I guess it really all comes down to what you perceive to be lucky. A person who gets in a car wreck is either going to wonder why it happened to them or feel very lucky to be alive....

How many people would use Internet Explorer if it wasn't included with Windows?

ocalhoun @ocalhoun (199) • United States 12 Jun 07

Internet explorer seems to me to be THE worst browser on the market, so why do people continue to use it? Because its included with windows. If, on the first time windows connects to the internet you were prompted to choose what...

deanbenji I'm going to have to agree with you. I've never really liked Internet Explorer. I have tried some other ones that are so much better and so far ahead and faster than IE. I'm currently using Safari at work because they finally made it for windows and I figured...

Fruit Lovers....

daycarepal @daycarepal (1998) • United States 13 Jun 07

Is it just me, or is the price of fruit expensive right now? I wanted to buy a whole watermelon at the supermarket and the price was $7.99. That seemed like alot to me! It's not as though the watermelons were even very large. So I...

deanbenji Fortunately, I live down the road from a store that is almost entirely produce. The fruit they have there is so much cheaper than all the big chains in town. That's because they usually only keep what's in season in stock. They've got all kinds of melons...

Will you SETTLE the BILL if you still don't want to leave?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 13 Jun 07

Last Saturday night, I was having tim sum with another friend for dinner. Those in Hong Kong would be very familiar with this "cuisine" but that's not the topic of this discussion anyway. :P It was just the 2 of us and we had a...

deanbenji I sometimes pay and then hang around for awhile afterwards anyway. As long as they aren't closing up or anything they shouldn't have a reason to make you leave. It seems that most of the time if I am enjoying myself there I will pay and then hang around for an...

Telemarketers How Do You Deal With Them?

Rickrocks8 @Rickrocks8 (1751) • United States 13 Jun 07

Telemarketers how do you deal with them? Do you screen your calls and just not answer? Do you take the time and listen to their little script? Are you nice? Are you sarcastic? I have to say I have tried it all. After they come...

How many children do you have? Do you want more?

lblwydman @lblwydman (25) • United States 11 Jun 07

We have two beautiful children! Jalen, our son, just turned 5 and Jasmine, our daughter, is 2. We do not want any more children. I feel we were blessed to have a boy and a girl. Oddly enough, I've always wanted 4 children. I...

deanbenji We have a five year old and a set of 2 year old twins- all boys. It's enough to keep us busy all the time. Being outnumbered already, I am very very very sure that we are not having any more kids. (we were going to only have 2, hahahaha)

Do you check up on your spouse?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 11 Jun 07

My husband and I use the same computer to access the Internet, so it's inevitable that we end up at the same websites. It made me think how easy it would be to check up on him to see which websites he visits. It's as simple as...

deanbenji It's not something that would ever cross my mind. If my wife wants to chat with anyone online it's cool with me. She's had many online friends over the years so it wouldn't bother me because I'm not a jealous kind of person.

I went grocery shopping today and came home with nothing.

mssnow @mssnow (9484) • United States 10 Jun 07

deanbenji I don't know what you have locally where you are but I'm glad to have found a place that has cheap food down the road(I don't have a car either). It sells mostly produce but that's good for me because that's mostly what I eat these days. I have noticed the...

deanbenji It's nice to be accepted. But it's not something I will fret over if it doesn't happen. Personally, I'm kind of a loner by nature so it's no big deal. There will always be people who won't like you- some have reasons not to and some do not. But I'm glad to...

Do you save money each week?

daycarepal @daycarepal (1998) • United States 19 Apr 07

When you get your weekly paycheck, do you put a certain percent aside towards savings? If you, what percentage do you put away. If you don't, do you have another method for saving?

deanbenji Hahaha, that's pretty funny. If only I had that option. We're a family of five on one income in San Diego. But we have a plan in place and we're in phase 1, which is getting completely out of debt. The credit cards are cut, we're slowly starting to dig our way...

Do you like to use disposable forks, spoons, knives or chopsticks?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 11 Jun 07

I know it is Monday today but let us strive to be forward looking. Let's think about the weekends for that is the time when we relax and party. I am not going to ask when you eat takeaways as opposed to home-cooked meals. I am...

deanbenji If I take the food home from somewhere I don't use the plasticware. But the chopsticks, I've found, are pretty durable and I can use them a lot even after all the food is gone. I still have some from 5 years ago that are working fine with no splintering.

Jennifer21 @Jennifer21 (2476) • United States 10 Jun 07

I must shamefully admit, I never do. I of course go back and read all my responses, but I never mark a best response. Why? Because I get many good responses. It is very hard for me to choose. I appreciate all my...

deanbenji Yes, but only because my responders are so few on all my questions so far. I think it is still hard to choose, even with only a few choices to pick from for often the responses are all good in some way.

For your everyday spending do you use cash or a debit card?

Sherry12 @Sherry12 (2472) • United States 11 Jun 07

I've been experimenting on what works best for us in not going over our budget. I'm finding if we use cash and know that is all we are going to spend that week, we do better then using a debit card. I was surprised because I...

deanbenji I use cash as much as possible, mostly just to avoid writing in all those receipts from constant debit card use. I'm just too lazy to write it all in.:)
