gambama I sometimes think "global warming" is a misnomer. I think a better name is "global extremes". On the other hand, the polar ice caps are melting and shrinking, and here we have had an extremely warm winter.

marguicha @marguicha (225650) • Chile 20 Dec 10

I just read that if you add vinegar as part of a salad dressing, you will burn your tummy fat quicker. Needless to say, I will try it. I´ll make a salad dressing to keep in my fridge with vinegar, some olive oil, salt and oregano....

gambama How about heating your water? Here in Israel, solar water heaters are fairly standard. The technology has been around for years. It is a lot less complicated than generating electricity. It makes a real dent in our electric bills.

gambama For me what makes good poetry is strong images. That is what is missing. You are telling instead of feeling. i'll give you an example; "When dreams die Life is a broken winged bird That cannot fly" --- Dreams by Langston Hughes. Do you see what I mean?

gambama I actually think it's an excellent idea.A checkup can catch problems -like diabetes- before they become serious. I suspect that many of the people who did not have checkups did so because of the cost. As for doctors trying to find disease or health- I...

To change anything, we best start with accepting it ... agree ?

ruperto @ruperto (1552) • Philippines 4 Dec 10

"We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses." Carl Jung What do you think ?

3 responses

gambama After some thought, I think there is a serious point here. Condemnation does not lead to solutions. Condemnation simply puts the event in the pale of the "off limits". Change has to do with understanding a situation. True understanding can only start...

How would you response to people who always think that they are better than U ?

wildlittlefan @wildlittlefan (4680) • Hong Kong 28 Nov 10

It is nice to have friends who will respect each others but in a the real world, we can't control how others think about us. If you ignore how others think about you all the times, you will be a person who always be self-centered....
