Would You Be Mad If Your Boyfriend Is Addicted to Computer Games?

ChiaraChang @ChiaraChang (12) • China 29 Mar 10

My BF is addicted to on-line games. I became pretty irritated when he sat in the front of the screen staring at his games. We lack talk and communication. We had a talk about this, and I hope he can spend more time on me or...

onesiobhan That's what I ended up doing. My husband is constantly playing his games, eventually we found something that I like and now I play more than he does!

onesiobhan Well the information is aimed at voters - I can discuss the issues in the Canadian election to non-Canadians here, but since they can't vote they can't really assist. Thank you for your comment, though.

Curbside @ Restaurants? Laziness or convience?

SxyFlGrl315 @SxyFlGrl315 (306) • United States 12 Feb 07

What is your take? I understand that it's convienent but I also believe its pure laziness. I don't see how waiting in your car for someone to run your food out to you is any different than just walking in and picking up...

onesiobhan Think about how much faster the line-up would go if all the able-bodied people were willing to get out of their cars!

have you ever tried a neti pot

onesiobhan @onesiobhan (1327) • Canada 31 May 08

Has anybody here ever tried using a neti pot? I suffer from constant sinus pressure and headaches, and I'm wondering if a neti pot might be useful. For those who don't know, a neti pot is a natural remedy from India, where you...

onesiobhan I have read that if you blow your nose to hard afterwards you can drive the liquid (along with the crap it's carrying) into your inner ear. Thanks for the warning.

Will you smack that salesgirl?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 30 May 08

There seems to be an over-saturation of sales people lately. You either be positive and attribute it to the booming economy or be negative and blame it on the lousy job opportunities available. But the fact remains that every time...

onesiobhan See I disagree. I've gotten coupons for discounts and free stuff after I've made a complaint. Large numbers of people complaining has gotten advertising campaigns pulled or gotten large polluting companies to change their practices. Companies that are...

onesiobhan Thanks for the recommendation! That's what I was hoping for. We don't have Walgreen's in Canada, but Shoppers Drug Mart carries very similar products. I'll check there.

onesiobhan The bible also says that people should not wear mixed fibres or eat shellfish. Do you picket Walmart? Or lobby to have reference to sushi restaurants removed from television and movies? If you actually read that bible you claim to know so well, you would...

onesiobhan @onesiobhan (1327) • Canada 20 Feb 08

There was a six-alarm blaze in downtown Toronto today. News reports say half a dozen businesses and apartments were gutted in the historical Queen St W area. I know a lot of people who live and work in the area and I'm already...

onesiobhan There were rumours about a drug lab, but I'm pretty sure that's false. The area is too densely populated to run a drug lab without being noticed. There is a lot of discussion about the possibility that it was set deliberately. A lot of developers have...

onesiobhan I'd agree with you about 90% However we're often exposed to things that we don't really register as potentially toxic. For example, most candles are made with parrafin, so the fumes are toxic. I use only pure beeswax candles in my house for exactly that...

onesiobhan Giving up while pregnant is really stressful on the body though. I know women who have been told not to try to quit while pregnant because the toxins the body produces while going through withdrawal are worse for the fetus than the tobacco is. If the woman...
