My Friend

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 17 Apr 13

I have a prospective friend. A man from the Indian sub-continent. I like people from there. He's my only prospective friend currently. He's never commented on one of my discussions nor I on his. Shall I let him in or let him stew....

liquorice Hi P1key, I would have a look at his discussions to see if he likes the same kind of things as you, or spot something that would at least give you some kind of clue as to why he's trying to befriend you. I tend to be a bit suspicious of people who try to...

Are shock treatments harmful to your body? I have had physical therapies that requires electric shocks. And also, I have heard of products such as slendertone, which is a belt that shocks your waist when you wear it. It is suppose...

liquorice I've often wondered this too. I know this is a very oldpost, but I wanted to answer it as I've just started using my Slendertone again. I love it, it's such a great feeling when you use it, like my muscles are really working. It helped me a lot after I had...

"You're doing what? For WHO?"

wonttakelong @wonttakelong (3555) • United States 2 Sep 12

I have been asked those questions alot lately. And honestly its getting rather annoying. For the last 9 months or so I have been planning a charity fundraiser which most people would agree is a GOOD thing. However some people I...

liquorice If you believe in what the organisation does, and it sounds like they do a lot of good for people, then there is no reason why you shouldn't help. I'm sure they are grateful for your help, whether or not you believe in the same stuff as...

What a hypocrite

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 28 Jul 12

I am not interested in sport and really cannot be bothered with the Olympics. Yet last night I found myself gawping at the opening ceremony in London and being very impressed in parts by the spectacle. As a piece of showmanship I...

liquorice Oh no you're certainly not alone. I feel exactly the same way! Only the other day in one of my answers to your other discussion I was saying how excited I was about the torch coming, even though I wasn't into the Olympics at all. Then the opening ceremony...

How's your country going?

BabyCheetah @BabyCheetah (1911) • Australia 29 Jul 12

I now it's only up to day 2 that's coming up but how has your country fairing so far? Australia is off to a good start with a gold medal in the womens 4x100 swimming. I saw the rowing yesterday and we seemed to be getting through...

Is anyone Watching the Olympics?

NailTech @NailTech (6874) • United States 30 Jul 12

Sadly I'm not interested, cause I'm not into sports much anyways. I also found out that two of my favorite TV shows (back to back ones) that I watch on Mondays & Tuesdays will now be repeats for the sake of the Olympics. Plus...

liquorice Yes, I wasn't too excited about them before they started, due to the extortionate amount of money it's costing our city to host them. Could have been spent so much better elsewhere, on our healthcare system, education etc. etc. And while I still think that, I...

What a background!

celticeagle @celticeagle (166761) • Boise, Idaho 29 Jul 12

I just got bored lastnight and started looking for desktop backgrounds. I looked at grecian gardens, gothic, vamp, victorian, and some nature ones. I found this really pretty abstract one. It has pink, blue and yellow in sort of a...

liquorice I recently found a photograph of some sand close-up. Nothing else, just some sand. Other people seem to think it's a bit boring and they don't get it, but for me it's really relaxing to look at. Simple and relaxing!

liquorice No, that hasn't ever happened to me, but it must be nice when it does. I'm sure a lot of times it's more the case that you get to know someone really well online, (or at least you think you do), but when you meet them you don't feel the same connection. I'm...

Amber @AmbiePam (92474) • United States 1 Jul 12

Superstition: how superstitious would you say your fellow countrymen are?

liquorice In general not very superstitious at all. I think it's mainly the older generation who think you shouldn't open an umbrella indoors, walk under ladders or put shoes on the table. Things like that were passed down the generations, and either people just stopped...

Patsie Hatley @Hatley (163776) • Garden Grove, California 28 Apr 12
