It's Friday the 13th!

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 12 Jun 08

Okay, so today is Friday the 13th... I do not know what to expect. I am not really that superstitious but I would like to know your views about Friday the 13th. People believe that the day brings bad luck. Have you ever proven...

marktheman I don't generally go in for the suspicions thing, but Friday 13th has just ended for me (it's Saturday 14th, 00:43 for me). I don't know why, but I seem to have had an AWFUL day: My phone broke, my bike broke, a stupid bus driver nearly took me off my bike...

Ever Visited a Friend or Family Member in Prison?

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 11 Mar 07

What is this experience like? Does it make you feel strange walking amongst people who have committed crimes. It feels a little odd for me. Yes, I have been to a prison to visit people. It is not something that I enjoy doing. The...

marktheman I've never been in prison to visit anyone and I hope that I don't have to get visited there! lol. I imagine that it would be weird, thinking to yourself "half the people in this room are criminals, some of them might be murderers". I wouldnt like it; I feel...

Do you YAWN when others yawn?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 11 Mar 07

*Yawn* *YAWN!!* I am yawning, are you? When you are in a group of people, do you find that when someone starts yawning, another will soon follow? Yet till now, at least as far as I know, there is no conclusive evidence to...

marktheman People yawn to try and get some more oxygen into their system. Other people follow on to do the same. It like being sick, it follows from our caveman instincts. If one person is sick, everyone has probably eaten the same thing so they are sick also. It's a...

Saving money with coupons

carpenter5 @carpenter5 (6782) • United States 11 Mar 07

I went to the store with my friend today. At the end of the trip when she checked out, I was amazed to see $58 taken off her total grocery bill, just from using coupons and purchasing what was on sale. I need some ideas on how...

marktheman I use vouchers and coupons wherever I can but they never seem to take effect. If I can I take advantage of special offers but they don't make a dent :-(

marktheman I remember from years ago when I was a child (only 10 years ago *shifty eyes* lol) and my older brother played one on me. The did the classic of a bucket of water over the door. Trouble was, I'd just come home with a model I'd been making at school in art for...

Does anyone keep an eye the register?

littlemoo @littlemoo (317) • Australia 6 Mar 07

When you go shopping, do you watch how much each item scans to make sure the sale price has been entered into the system? I've started doing that recently, and I've found that some items aren't coming up in my favour! I've...

marktheman I always have a quick look at the display while im bagging up my stuff, and I always check my receipt on the way out. There have been many many times when an item has been scanned twice or the display price is incorrect. Of course I never query it when I...

I need advise from a computer wiz please

margieanneart @margieanneart (26423) • United States 6 Mar 07

My question is, do the lap tops have as much memory as the desk tops? I am an artist, and my computer needs lots of space for the art. I have a dell, and it is 5 years old now. It still has 90% capasity to fill. It has a huge...

marktheman Some laptops have reasonably good memory. Dell's generally have a lot of memory, and desktops normall have more memory than a laptop but sometime not. I would probably get a system upgrade on your old Dell and continue to use your desktop. Check out my blog...

What do you guys think of AGLOCO... is it real or scam???

Flexxx @Flexxx (103) • South Africa 6 Mar 07

I've been reading a lot about AGLOCO in recent months. Apparently it's another version of another program which existed in the late 90's, AllAdvantage. Well some people reckon AGLOCO will be much better than it's predecessor...

marktheman Heck, when I was a kid my hero was Neil Armstong, even though he fluffed his lines! He was meant to say "One small step for *A* man, One giant leap for mankind". I'd say me hero now is Sir Tim Berners-Lee. If it weren't for him, you probably wouldn't be...

marktheman I think children should be allowed to watch the Simpsons. There are some comments that relate to, shall we say, adult things, but if the kid is old enough to notice the comments and innuendo then he/she probably knows about what it's referring to anyway. I...

Do You Read With Your Child?

devideddi @devideddi (1435) • United States 27 Jan 07
