johnsobr31 Many US presidents have been left handed, including President Obama. It is common among those who are natural leaders. I have three children who are left handed, so I think it is wonderful to be left handed.

Have you ever regretted something you said?

santosmarichris @santosmarichris (1849) • Philippines 26 Apr 11

Most of the times I don't cause I usually say what I really feel and lately I'm trying to control what is better left unsaid. Because that will keep me out of trouble. I just try not to get into the drama or create a drama myself....

johnsobr31 I am constantly surprised at the things that come out of my mouth! Usually I make it my goal to say as little as possible. Often, I come across as abrasive or sarcastic. There are so many things that are unnecessary to say, and I am trying to learn to enjoy...

What's Most Important in Any Job, -Is it Really Money that Matters?

albert911 @albert911 (168) • Thailand 26 Apr 11

Are you honest enough to admit it? Do you think it's the fun of doing a job, having a good time, more the social, daily interaction that make and keep you happy? Some people say that with money you can buy almost everything (even...

be sensitive to the needs of the elderly

sashakiddo @sashakiddo (1102) • United States 24 Apr 11

when I was younger, I went to the movies with my grandmother. She was still quite young then but she was getting to the point of "old age" I guess you could say. Before we went into the movie, she told me we should stop at the...

johnsobr31 I think it is very important to care for those older than us. When I was younger, I didn't want to slow down and think of others. Now I realize that older people have raised families and fought wars and been through difficult things and we should respect them....

johnsobr31 Of the sites you listed, I only use facebook. I find it helpful because I can keep up with friends and family. We can share photos and information without have to send email, call, or snail mail. I would feel very isolated without it at this point. On the...

Keeping pet from jumping on things?

Dominique25 @Dominique25 (9464) • United States 1 Apr 11

How do you keep your cat or dog from jumping or climbing on things. I love my cat so much but he can be difficult. What do you do to keep your pets off items or furniture you don't want them on. My cat likes to jump on tables...

Does anyone have Dobermans?? Is anyone afraid of Dobermans??

stary1 @stary1 (6612) • United States 20 Apr 11

I used to think Dobermans were the meanest, most unfriendly dogs out there. I would only see them in the movies as snarling guard dogs and they didn't look approachable at all!! When our German Shepherd died, our Vet told us...

johnsobr31 I think dobermans are beautiful and I would consider owning one. My parents recently got a german shepherd and it seems like they are having such a hard time training him. He seems to be fearful and high strung, which can be dangerous. But I feel that any dog...

johnsobr31 I think it is a shame that parental rights are being taken away. Yes, kids need to eat nutritious meals, but ultimately, parents have a right to make these decisions. If parents send junk food for their kids to eat, I'm sorry, it's none of your business. If...

Do you make your own pizza?

Jo1272 @Jo1272 (49) • United States 11 Apr 11

I was wondering who likes to make their own pizza. What do you put on your pizza? I like going to the store and getting all the stuff and make my own personal pizza. It tastes better to me, and I enjoy the art of creating it.

johnsobr31 I just finished making and devouring my own pizza! Our favorite topping is spinach. It tastes better and is way less expensive than restaurant pizza, but takes a bit of time. My kids like to help me, so that makes it worth the time spent.

johnsobr31 Yes, there seems to be a balance that needs to be found. Parents are certainly responsible for providing for their children, but they must be responsible, also, for being present in the lives of their children. I believe that parents are responsible not only...
