rummygus There was a long period in my life when I was consumed by frustration and rage stemming from my job. I had become a stranger to myself. Growing up and even into my young adulthood I was not the angry and miserable person that I had become in later years. It...

rummygus If you are using an Ubuntu Live CD the installation option will easily create a dual booting option for your computer. That's what I did for my first year of using Ubuntu. The Ubuntu installation process is as easy as installing Windows. Most of the time...

greyy21 @greyy21 (181) • Ireland 29 Nov 08

My good friends has had a block for about a month now, she's a nice gal and i feel sorry for her, she's been very sad recently and now she cant draw either! she's quite good at art for her age and she lets me use her computer...

rummygus Hmm... let's see. (scratches head) 1. She could "explore" her sadness. A grim idea but maybe if she tried to render feelings of sorrow in some manner it would help her move forward. 2. Avoid everything art related for a couple days. Focus on something...

rummygus Practice, practice, practice. When you first start you won't be creating masterpieces. You don't need "fine art" materials (and their high prices) either. That's just a sales pitch. As time goes on you'll figure out what quality of supplies you need. You...

rummygus Agreed. I've used Ubuntu for a couple years and tinkered with other distributions. Incompatibility issues, both hardware and software, are maddening. I'm at a point in my life when I no longer want to tinker with my computers. A computer is a tool and...

It never fails…at the first of the month when I do our major grocery shopping I don’t really have to watch what I spend. I know there’s more than enough money in the bank to cover it. But as the month goes on and funds dwindle...

rummygus Save all of your grocery receipts for a month. With a calculator add up all of those grocery receipts. Divide the total by 4 (4 weeks in a month). The resulting number is what you can spend each week for groceries and no more than that number. This is...

Am I a bad mom?

blind_eyed @blind_eyed (253) • Philippines 4 Nov 08

rummygus I agree most of the responses so far and no, you are not a bad mom. I have seen many bad moms (and dads). Bad parents scream profanities at their children. Bad parents let their children play unsupervised and unsafe. Where I live police have had to remove...

rummygus Cherish your time together and don't worry so much about death because you'll just wind up worrying yourself to death. "Don't worry yourself to death." There is wisdom in that phrase. It is practical for you and your mate to consider the ramifications of...

rummygus I prefer to let my folks make the decision to stay with me or one of my siblings if that is what they want to do. My parents are very independent. They may very well decide to stay on their own as long as they can. There will come a time, however, that they...

spalladino @spalladino (17891) • United States 23 Oct 08

While I understand that campaigning means a lot of public appearances requiring many wardrobe changes, I do find the latest revelations about the Palin family spending sprees to be excessive and not in keeping with the...

rummygus I have considered getting rid of the Internet and have concluded that it would be only as a last resort. - My "personal" economy has been tough all my life. I've learned to weigh the value of something against its cost. The Internet has too much value and is...

rummygus Well... (scratches head) here's my 2¢. - I believe the world is the same as it has always been. Because of modern technology we are able to learn more about what's going on, both the good and bad, in the different parts of the world. - There's a lot of bad...

agrant10 @agrant10 (1476) • United States 16 Oct 08
