friendship4 They say to 'Err is human!' - in other words we are born to make mistakes because we are just that - human. We are being controlled a lot of the time by our emotions which sometimes leads us to take the the least helpful action. The important thing is to look...

fwidman @fwidman (11514) • United States 21 Dec 09

Every morning while drinking my coffee I listen to my police scanner. I am amazed at just how many calls the police must answer these days because a teenager is fighting with their family members. I blame it mostly on the...

friendship4 I am sure that lots of people see the number of Facebook friends as a status symbol for their popularity. I would question the size of their 'egos'! It's a bit immature to have loads of people you don't actually know because they ask to be your 'friend' and it...

sahsports4883 @sahsports4883 (441) • United States 22 Dec 09

In the past year or so the slogan 'Go Green' has become quite popular in the United States, I'm not sure about other countries but I'd be surprised if it hasn't. I personally love the idea, I think it's great for the Earth and...

friendship4 I don't think I will be drowning my sorrows by drinking alcohol. That doesn't mean I don't drink at all, just that your problems are still there haunting you in the cold light of sobriety the next morning. The effects of alcohol take their toll on the...

friendship4 It's better to add salt during the cooking of your food as that way it blends into the food through the heat process to give added flavour. Adding it afterwards means the salt particles just sit on the top surface of your dish and you lose the full effect of...
