skostov If you are still growing, up to 18- 20 years old, you can do things that help you grow taller than you would otherwise. Playing sports like basketball, volleyball, or swimming will help you get taller. Probably stretching will help you too. However, after you...

skostov To the above comment I would add to start doing some exercise, like running, biking, or swimming. Do it for at least half an hour each day, and each day increase the intensity. The sudden change from your sedentary life to everyday exercise will jump start...

Exercise Machines

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 26 Oct 07

I just heard another commercial for a miraculous exercise machine, this one for the "Perfect Push-Up". There's probably a different exercise machine or device for every day of the year, and they're all "guaranteed" to give you...

skostov I can't tell in general if these machines are good, because I never use them. I prefer the old fashioned free weights when working out. For this specific one, I really don't see why you should give your money for something you can do for free. A normal...

skostov Way to go, from now on its only bananas! The only point that I doubt is the constipation one. I actually have heard that bananas contribute to constipation rather than alleviate it.

skostov I relieve stress by going to the gym. Exercise is a great way to actively relax and forget about your problems. After I finish I feel very refreshed and relaxed.

skostov I don't think anyone is ever fully satisfied with their personal life. Whenever you attain a certain status in life or reach a higher standard of living, you start wanting something more. Although striving for more is generally a good thing, it makes many...

Any Explanation Why the US Dollars Has Gone Down?

psyche49f @psyche49f (2502) • Philippines 22 Oct 07

Lately, I have been dismayed because the value of the US dollar has dramatically gone down. Last week it was around 45 pesos to a dollar, now I guess it has dipped down even more. I wonder what has happened to the US economy...I...

Who is the best player in the English Premiership?

stevoo19 @stevoo19 (99) 14 Oct 07

who do you think is the best player in the English Premiership? my list would be Chritiano Ronaldo, Cesc Fabregas, Torres, Berbatov is good too but is in the wrong side really who would you suggest is the best player?

11 responses

skostov What about Martin Petrov from Man City? He is unstoppable on the left wing! Berbatov is also great, but recently he is in a bad shape. This may be a little biased since I am Bulgarian :) My other choice would be C. Ronaldo.

skostov He fits so well into this team, and he can contribute much more than in chelsea. Chelsea (although I like them) currently are not a team, but just a conglomerate of stars, who don't play very well together. I think it will be a waste if Ronaldinho would go...

skostov I have actually read that breakfast can help you lose weight. The reasoning is that when you wake up you need to eat something to boost up your rate of metabolism, since when you sleep it slows down. So my recommendation is not to skip breakfast! If you want...
