Do you walk regularly?

careguarden @careguarden (5670) • Philippines 2 Sep 10

For me, walking is the best exercise and really gives benefit to the people. I always walked at 5 a.m in the morning because it is the best time for walking and no sunshine and makes me feel that I'm losing weight for walking. How...

snowflake5 I have done the whole "walking to lose weight" thing in the past, but have fallen out of the habit. I really should start again, as I lost half a stone the last time I tried it.

Helping someone ruined my relationship

janelacson @janelacson (200) • Philippines 28 Jan 09

The worst thing I've ever done in my life is to let someone borrow my boyfriend's money without my boyfriend's permission. Later on, my boyfriend caught me lying and found out that I used his money to help someone. The people I...

snowflake5 Hopefully, from now on you will discuss all money matters with your boyfriend first, especially if you are going to be married. It's always a mistake to let friends borrow from you (or to borrow from them). If the person who borrowed money from you is...

When should you start monetarizing your blog?

liquorice @liquorice (3887) 16 Aug 08

This might be a silly question to some, as maybe you've put ads on it from the start, but I know that I don't get much traffic yet and it seems a bit silly to sign up to Adsense or any other scheme if practically nobody's going...

snowflake5 There's no harm putting Adsense on your blog straightaway, as it's usually unobtrusive. Regarding other advertising, I'd wait a good six months and build up the content and traffic on the blog.

Obama, Next JFK?

chillymullet @chillymullet (181) • United States 1 Feb 08

I keep hearing people say that Obama is the next JFK, Hillary thinks that its an insult to the former president. What do you think?

snowflake5 There's a saying that all political careers end in failure - except if you get assasinated. I'm not sure JFK would be so revered if he had lived - instead he might have lost the 1964 election, or if he won, he'd have been blamed for Vietnam, especially as he...

Morgan Drake Eckstein @morgandrake (2136) • United States 2 Feb 08

Well, in just a couple of days, we stand a good chance of knowing who is going to be named the Presidential Candidate by the two parties. At this point a lot of people have dropped out (Fred and Rudy for example), so in my...

snowflake5 Do people actually fall for the media frenzy (in either the Democratic or Republican race)? Wouldn't a media frenzy actually irritate people, and make people even more motivated to go out and vote the way THEY want to?

snowflake5 You are right - you should vote based solely on policies and whether you think the person concerned will be a good leader and good administrator, race, gender and religion shouldn't come into it at all. Most of governing is actually about the ability to...

coffeebreak @coffeebreak (17798) • United States 4 Feb 08

snowflake5 Ummm... The Queen is merely the symbolic head of the UK. She has no power, except in a national emergency (say Parliament was bombed and there were no elected heads). All power lies with the Prime Minister. Mrs Thatcher was elected Prime Minister in 1979 and...
