Gerbera10 Hi Porcospino, when I can't finish a painting or an article, I leave it and start something else. Eventually inspiration will come back again and you can continue on this picture. New inspirations are found from everyday life. Notice all that goes around,...

Changing Careers

carolbee @carolbee (16230) • United States 9 Aug 10

If you could change your career/profession for one week, what would you like to do? I've always worked in an office atmosphere so my choice would be to work in show business.

Gerbera10 Hi Skylark35, Bad days happen to everyone. The thing is to try to keep your cool as such things come and go. Yes, glass cost a lot but at least no one was hurt, which is a thing to be thankful for.

Gerbera10 Yeah, kids do that all the time. Not only that but they eat the last one and LEAVE the empty box in the same place. I would see the box and would not even know that it is empty. This drives me crazy!

You're too obvious! It's a marketing strategy!

Theresaaiza @Theresaaiza (10487) • Australia 7 Aug 10

I just hate networking. You know, that next-door food supplement salesman who tells you to let Person A recruit B and C. And then B recruits D and E, while C recruits F and G and then goes drawing a tree-like diagram of how we are...

Gerbera10 I think this is a great concern to all parents. When I had my youngest child, I was terrified that she stopped breathing once when she was sleeping very deep. Thankfully nothing was wrong but it really scared me.

Gerbera10 Yes, in certain cases it could happen. I personally know people who did. I was told it is because there could be an extra ovulation during period, and though it is not something which happens every month, there is a slim chance that it could happen.

Do you have breakfast?

liuzhi @liuzhi (265) • China 7 Aug 10

Now,it's summer holiday for me.And i usually stay up and don't wake up early in the morning,usually untill the lunch time.So i don't have the necessity to have breakfast.How about you guys?Have ever done this like me ?

4 responses

Gerbera10 Breakfast is the most important meal of the day but as I start work early, I can only take a bowl of cereal and a cup of tea. As about 10, I try to eat a yoghurt. If you wake up in time for lunch, then it is obviously lunch that you must have!
