One of my travel photos was chosen in a city guide

hexebella @hexebella (1136) • Philippines 18 Feb 11

Just now I am so happy when I found out that one of my travel photos was chosen in a City Guide. It was in 2007 when I spent holiday in the north east of England and shared my photos in Flikr. That same year I received an email...

Any of you cannot do parallel parking?

mermaidivy @mermaidivy (15395) • United States 18 Feb 11

I have never done parallel parking since I have got my driving license... Parallel parking is one of the requirement in the driving test. That was easy because it gives you plenty of space to park in the...

helpful_ideas Frankly, I haven't parallel parked since I got my license. I too will park at the end and just walk the extra. For me at least, whenever there is more space, all the better. If given the option between a tight-fit close-up or a wider spot far away, our...

If you were a ghost, who would you like to haunt?

nanajanet @nanajanet (4436) • United States 25 Jun 08

I am sitting here watching a show about ghosts. I love this subject and do believe in them. I was wondering, "If I were a ghost, who would I haunt, and why?" I think that I would not hang around. Once I leave, I would want to...

helpful_ideas I know there are ghosts because I have experienced them in an all too real manner. I guess it would depend what is going on in my life at the time as to whether I had something to stick around FOR. My family and friends know I love them so I do not think I...

helpful_ideas In EQ2 chat they were saying they were expecting it to be really good. Wish we knew when it would be released. I hear there is a Champions game in the works too but it doesn't sound like very much is being put into it. Also with DC and Marvel both already...

I couldnt hold it in any longer! Money doesnt make friends better than!

dloveli @dloveli (4366) • United States 18 Nov 07

I have had this friend for almost a year. For the most part, she is very good to me and my family. As time went by, It became clear that she helped people so she could hear how selfless she was. Everytime I try to do or say...

helpful_ideas Your friend does not seem like much of a friend, truly. Good relationships (friendships, family relations, romantic, ANY kind of relationship) are based on caring, respect and communication. It s good that you communicated with her your problem with how...

Appreciation

Alloy42 @Alloy42 (372) • United States 2 Mar 08

For an unknown reason, with a particular set of my friends, each time they post about anything introspective, it strikes a cord within me and I begin thinking about aspects of life - self - relationships that I had previously not...

helpful_ideas Perhaps thanking them for sharing and being open and honest would be a good way to say it. Yes, they are just being themselves, but they do not necessarily have to post about it.

Pet ideas for a 19 month old boy?

joey_matthews @joey_matthews (8354) 23 Dec 07

Me and Joey were thinking about getting our 19 month old son a pet at some point. We want something that isn't expensive to look after and easy to manage, as he is only little. We want a pet that doesn't need attention 24/7 and...

helpful_ideas Well, it depends on the temperament of your kiddo. My son got his cat at 14 months, but of course we (the parents) looked after him not our son. He really enjoyed being with him though. We also has a pet rock, which he looks after and tucks into bed, all...

helpful_ideas Wow! To quote my husband "Drunk equals stupid for many people." 3 DWIs in one night....I think the third DWI in a lifetime is a felony. So I wonder if there is some kind of world record for the most arrests in a 24 hour period?

helpful_ideas Unfortunately there are still a lot of people who just don't understand how dangerous drinking and driving (even JUST being tipsy and driving) really is. Most commercials are reality based in some manner. Even comedy often has a "dark underbelly".
