Do you knock before entering?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 10 May 07

Knock, knock, who's there? It's me, wizzy! What do you want? Let me in, let me in! :P I typically have my room door closed when I am in the room. I don't like being disturbed and being the very private me, I don't fancy...

gifana Yes. I was brought up that way. Since I hate it when anyone comes barging in on me without knocking I will not lower myself to do the same. I think it is very rude and impolite, to say the least. It also shows lack of character and respect.

gifana I was brought up a Baptist but in my early 20's I converted to Catholicism. I am in limbo in my old age as to which side of the fence I want to lean over. I have read, though not studied, various books on the Jewish faith, quasi orthodox, and it appeals to my...

gifana I share my "wisdom" with someone very often. I was fortunate I learned this from my step father. 1. Don't worry unnecessarily about anything that you do not have control over. 2. Don't put any obstacles in front of you that do not exist. Wait until you...

gifana I can honestly say I have no idea. What difference would it make? I won't be around to see the outcome. What guarantee do I have that there is an eternity? These are things that never enter my scattered brain. This instant is the only thing that is absolute in...

gifana There is no reason why Bill Clinton can't run for office in 2008. The Constitution reads that a president cannot hold office longer than a two-term period. However, there is no restriction for a former president running again four years after leaving office....

gifana Only once was I ever confronted by a crucial decision where the head or heart came into the equation. Perhaps it was the biggest mistake I ever made but I listened to my head and left a possible husband waving goodbye at the airport. I had been transferred to...

gifana I could live forever without a mirror. I rarely look into one because I don't want to scare myself. I place no special emphasis on my outward appearance. I dress for myself....if others don't like my appearance it is their problem not mine. I rarely buy...

gifana I wouldn't change my habits. I have nothing to hide so nothing will be exposed. My life today is not worth watching and anyone doing so would be bored out of their minds....unless of course they liked myLot or soccer.
