Name any items that you want it to be fully automated. Tell me why?

Iriene88 @Iriene88 (5343) • Malaysia 21 Sep 09

I was quite amazed when I was in South Korea 2 years ago. This village hotel has an automated window... just a press of the button, the window can open outwards or closing back. Just like adjusting the car side mirrors.. So,...

gaminemadcap Personally, I'd like things to become a bit less automated. I may be a child of the 21st Century, but I also believe that we're letting our society become far too dependent on machines. It may sound paranoid, but there's some truth to the movies where robots...

gaminemadcap I LOVE to sing. I've been singing since I was about 3, and pushed my way into getting to sing a solo at the church state convention. I sing in choirs when I can, but my favorite place to sing is in my car. Yes, my car. I'm my opinion, it's better than the...

How do you take care of your curly hair?How do you style it?

omiami @omiami (412) • Malta 22 Sep 09

I have curly hair and I like to take good care of it. I like to avoid using too many stuff in my hair such as gels etc but you know, for work and to go out its nice to use some gel to style it properly. What about you? How do you...

curly hair

6 responses

gaminemadcap In my opinion, curly hair is just about the hardest to care for. I have very fine curly hair, so gels tend to way it down really easily. Right now I'm using Garnier Fruitis's Wonder Waves Spray, or Aveda's 'be curly' curl control. The great thing about...

What do you prefer the best, desktop computer or a laptop?

Chharugh @Chharugh (40) • India 22 Sep 09

I am currently using both desktop(IBM) and a laptop(DELL), but i personally prefer laptops to use as i've to keep with it all day long.. so portability matters a lot to me. What about you??

6 responses

gaminemadcap I don't think I could ever go back to a desktop as my only computer. I don't mind using them in a professional setting, or when I'm at a desk. But I'll only ever own a laptop at home. The flexibility of being able to use it on the sofa or on my bed is a...

raydene @raydene (9871) • United States 16 May 08

I was realizing how different spelling for the same word all seem right.. Like I spell fairy but some of my friends here spell faery Can youn think of other words like this? xoxoxoxoxo

gaminemadcap Usually when people use the 'ae' in faerie they don't use the 'y' at the end. (Like I just spelled it: faerie). 'Faerie' is the more archaic form--it's more old fashioned, but usually better when talking about more mythological fae as opposed to modern,...

gaminemadcap There is a fine line between trying to help someone because you care and being abusive and putting someone down. I, too, am a bit overweight (though I'm working to overcome it) and I come from families where most everyone is also overweight. The biggest...

gaminemadcap My first question is how old is your son? He may be to the age where spanking isn't the best punishment anymore. Start punishing him by taking away his priveliges (I'm pretty sure my spelling is screwed up, so ignore it). If he won't listen to you at the...

gaminemadcap It seems to me that you don't have an immediate problem. If the possibility of a move isn't going to come up till his father retires, and you don't know when this may be, then try not to worry about it. All of your children could be grown or college age by the...

gaminemadcap I guess that it depends on the choice that I'm making. But as a general rule, I follow my moral values, which come from my religious background. Other than that, I suppose it depends on my feelings toward the decision that has to be made. I don't really know...

gaminemadcap First of all, THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!! Children are delayed for all sorts of reasons. And your son is young enough that he may very well catch up later or only need resource classes and a little extra help in school. And if he just turned three, then he's...

gaminemadcap First of all, there is a difference between 'beating' and 'spanking' your child. I was raised in a family where we were spanked when we were younger. We were never "beaten". My parents never hit us hard enough to leave marks. The hickory stick that they used...
