do you have membership (loyalty cards)?

maroseqf @maroseqf (3657) • Philippines 1 Sep 09

My husband and I went to the grocery this morning. It took us more than 30 minutes to shop for the things we need. When we were about to pay for our groceries, the cashier lady asked for my membership card (SM Advantage) so I give...

profclark Yes, I have "loyalty cards," or as I refer to them, large animal tracking devices from most of the local grocery stores and a few drug stores. Only one store really rewards me by sending me coupons on things that I really regularly use. The others are trading...

Are you a bath room singer? But why?

K.Rajib G. @krajibg (11922) • Guwahati, India 1 Sep 09

More or less we all are familiar with music and the favorite one often keeps playing in the background of our mind. Some even sing in such a way people would opt for committing suicide rather than listening to their tunes. Some on...

What would be your ideal job?

pushkin69 @pushkin69 (546) 31 Aug 09

Growing up I always wanted to be a pilot but was told I couldnt as I have an eye disease that affects my vision. I was pretty gutted. So I decided I would like to be a travel writer but actually ended up becoming a Sport Science...

profclark I feel you. I was diagnosed with MS in 2001, and I used to be a college business professor, but my life has changed drastically since my diagnosis. I have had to learn to retrain my skills, and do things I can do in my time-frame, like consulting and some...

Suicidal Thoughts - How do you get rid of it?

kevchua @kevchua (1004) • Malaysia 1 Sep 09

You read in the papers about people taking their own lives; some people have this thought consistently. People kill themselves for being in debt, for doing badly in the exam, for losing a loved one. Age is not a factor. Why...

profclark I think sometimes you have to step away from the voices in your head, and literally change the tape. Sometimes I think that we get into mental ruts, and we can really abuse ourselves, just by what we tell ourselves, or what other people might tell us. If you...

Aggressive Breeds or Aggressive Owners?

HarlemsFlyest212 @HarlemsFlyest212 (157) • United States 7 May 07

A lot of apartment complexes in my area will accept any size dog but they won't accept aggressive breeds. No German Shepers, Rottweilers, Akitas, Pit Bulls, etc. I believe that these dogs can be vicious when they are taught to be....

profclark While I think that owners can train their dogs to be gentle or aggressive, the issue is really the greater good, because dogs are animals and many humans are not good trainers. If people's dog of choice is a large dog it should not be in an apartment anyway. I...

profclark Not sure what drives it, but part of the problem is inadequate mental health care, particularly in America. We think we have a problem now, just wait until all these war vets come home.
