I wonder if you have participated in this sort of activity wherein one buys a ticket for dinner. Of course, the price of the ticket has been marked up for the purpose of using the profit to support a certain cause. Personally,...

To buy a new cell phone today (mid-contract) can be outrageously expensive. I have recently been having a lot of trouble with my BlackBerry, which I have had since November. This morning, my BlackBerry ran out of space and...

fencer07 I completely understand your point. But do you think an iPhone or even an Android would be any more reliable?

Just about all of my friends, family, and even acquaintances can tell you that I am the most anxious person that they know. For as long as I can remember, I have always been "high-strung." However, I feel that in the last couple...

fencer07 That is such great advice! I honestly have not taken a bath in years and so it never occurred to me that I should do that to relax. Thanks! I will definitely try that.

Although I am looking into going to graduate school to obtain a master's degree, I have also researched continuing education/professional certification programs at local colleges. From an employer's perspective, if one is trying...

fencer07 Thank you for your perspective. I find your response very enlightening. I also like that a certification program is more geared toward an application of the material where as a degree is often a presentation of material that does not directly connect it to its...

fencer07 I am not anxious of one thing in particular. In addition, I have come to learn that medicine alone is not always enough to solve an issue. Therefore, I would like to explore ways other than medication to reduce my anxiety.

I work in fashion retail. Often customers read signs wrong (i.e. they think that "buy one get one 29.90" is really "everything is 29.90" or if one shirt in the store is 40% off they think that every shirt in the store is 40% off)....

I admit, I procrastinate on almost a daily basis. In school, my friends and I would even share with one another new ways to procrastinate that we found online. Is it bad to procrastinate? Or do you think that as long as you get an...

fencer07 I think the reason why my friends would share ways to procrastinate would be because entertaining yourself relieves some of the stress you are experiencing when having a big project or assignment to do. Then the built up pressure of finishing last minute is a...

For my tattoo-happy friends, do any of you ever have any regrets about getting inked up? If so, why? If not, any advice to give a tattoo virgin? LOL! I am probably going to get one next week, a symbol of a beloved race I will...

fencer07 If you only recently began thinking about getting a tattoo, I would wait a little longer before making the life-long commitment of having something permanently on your body, especially if it is in a place that will be difficult to conceal with clothing. Every...

fencer07 I remember learning in school that money only effects happiness to a certain point. Of course if your basic needs are not met, it is difficult to be happy. However, when you exceed a certain level of wealth, you actually begin to feel less happy.

I feel so sorry to myself when I can't remember the pin number of my ATM card anymore. I just found it out the other week. I told my mom about it but she don't have any idea on what to do. Because of this I can't withdraw my money...

fencer07 My first reaction would be the same as that of Gautam1002. You should be able to find the number of the helpline either on your bank website or on the back of your debit card. Also, once you change your number, perhaps you can tell someone whom you really...

fencer07 I agree with Lorden that exercise is necessary to become athletic. However, perhaps you can modify some aspects of your daily routine to be more inclusive of exercise without requiring too much extra time. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator...

I am attracted to MyLot because it is an opportunity for me to have meaningful discussions. I find that since I have graduated college I do not have the type of people around me who will just sit down for hours and discuss every...

fencer07 I see your point that longer discussions are more difficult to keep up with. I am just as guilty as anyone else that I may skip over a discussion because of its popularity and I either don't have the patience or time to read all of the responses at that time.

One of my friends told me that her friend is very successful. She has a good job, a nice and luxurious house, and lots of money in the bank. So, I ask myself, are material things the basis of success? I don't know exactly but I...

fencer07 I agree that whether or not we like it, there is pressure in our society to be "successful" by building our wealth. Personally, I feel that success should be measured by one word: HAPPINESS. If you have a great career, it does not matter unless you are happy...

I don't mind music being played in clothes stores but what I object to (usually in a big store like Debenhams) is, if you go to one section you get blasted with one song and if you go to another section something else is being...

fencer07 I have had the same exact problem! You should check the website of big retail chains. I have been to clothing stores before and heard music I liked but didn't recognize. A few times I was able to find it on the playlists that the sites used.
