Usefulness of landyards?

engineous @engineous (396) • Australia 21 Jun 07

Do you find lanyards very useful? I hardly use the ones I have got and I have like a whole collection of them now! I mean, who wants to wear things around their neck (unless it is their security pass and they have to) the whole...

shellyrios I use to have wear a Lanyard at an old job, but got a clip for it instead, it was a bit cumbersome, hanging in my face when I was working (I moved around a lot, at my old job) so I got a clip.

During anytime in your life what was one of your most dreaded holidays & why?

lalav1 @lalav1 (1052) • United States 8 May 07

For me from about 10 yrs. old to early adulthood I dreaded Thanksgiving. We always had it at Grandma and grandpa's. They were both stressed, you had to sit in a certain place and they kept bugging you to eat more. My Aunt & Uncle...

shellyrios Well I don't think it's so much the humor, but laughing at yourself and your partner if you feel that you are maybe having an argument over something so little it's ridiculous, so laughing it off is better than actually arguing. When you can laugh with each...

annihilus @annihilus (2181) • Italy 21 Apr 07

shellyrios I think as a parent it is very hard when children are blatantly hurtful on purpose and sometimes you let your emotions get the best of you. I don't think she intentionally meant to slap him in the face, but it was more of an impulsive reaction and I'm sure it...
