Do you have a temper?

howhigh @howhigh (757) • Canada 3 May 07

I am a very calm person and I don't react and get angry easily so i wouldn't say that I have a temper. But when pushed to it I debate very passionately if my own interests are on the line. If you feel like you have a temper you...

sabrinam I think an important thing to ask yourself when you find yourself getting angry, is this, "In two days am I going to care about this still?" I've been able to keep from saying some pretty nasty things by asking myself that question.

It's not what you say but the way that you say it.

deeeky @deeeky (3667) • Edinburgh, Scotland 3 May 07

Sometimes people get the wrong impression when they read the words that are posted here on mylot, and if put another way it changes the meaning of what we thought they meant. That is why that mylot comes on top whith it's great...

sabrinam I find this to be true in life as well as on the internet, text messages too, what you send as a joke, may come off as a mean spirited text, or whatever the case may be. I think sometimes it's best to be very literal in your speech unless you're in person.

Any dealings with NCO Financial services regarding old debts

meholl @meholl (510) • United States 17 Mar 07

I checked my credit and found a ding from NCO Financial Services. So I decided to do some searching on the web about the company. Didn't find anything that made me feel like calling this company and settling my debt. I know I owe...

sabrinam I worked for a hospital who assigned bad debt to NCO all the time, all I can tell you is that they're rude even to their clients that send them work. I'd try to work it out with the original person you owe the debt to.

sabrinam I would either make him explain himself to her when he does come over, or stop telling her he's coming until he actually gets there, because then you won't have to explain things. But there's no way to explain why Daddy decided another person is more...

Demon Possession

beautifulceiling @beautifulceiling (1300) • United States 12 Feb 07

Do you think that demon possession as described in the Bible was actually demons or do you think it was only perceived that way and actually was something like epilepsy? If it was real demon possession, does it still happen...

sabrinam I think there is evil in many forms, in order to believe in angels, you must also believe in demons, it isn't something a lot of people think about though, it's a little scary to think about, but I beleive it does still exist today.

Groundhog Day, Just Silly

CRiley27 @CRiley27 (983) • United States 2 Feb 07

sabrinam I think that hearing about a groundhog and seeing smiles on the news even for just a few minutes. Not to mention it makes me remember the movie every year. Talk about a genious idea for a movie, Bill Murray is going to be immortal!

sabrinam I commend you for quitting, but I caution you about doing it cold turkey. I used the patch for four days, but it was enough to make it permanent, I've been a non-smoker now for four years. If you feel yourself beginning to cave to the cravings, run to the...

Survey: Many Assume They Can't Control Cancer Risk

weee_ann @weee_ann (1453) • Philippines 13 Jan 07

sabrinam I don't find that surprising, it's a lack of knowledge that is to blame for a lot of the problems people have, sheer lack of knowledge. The worse thing is that sometimes even when you tell people, laziness wins out over healthiness or safety.
