Have you ever spent real money on the Facebook games?

uicbear @uicbear (1900) • United States 30 Sep 10

I play many of the games on Facebook. Take your pick, I have played, at one time or another, Mafia Wars, Farmville, Frontierville, Rollercoaster Kingdom, Cafe World, Yoville, Restaurant City, Vampire Wars, and most recently MMA...

uicbear I don't see what they get out of that, they can't be getting much experience out of it. You would thing they would put some kind of limit on that kind of attack. Like you said, it's not fun when that happens and if the games aren't fun people won't play and...

uicbear I have a bunch of games that I have started this way. Restaurant City I was really hooked on, but then I started playing something else and haven't been back. Sometimes they get so repetetive or so hard to loevel up or do anything different, that i just get...

uicbear My thoughts exactly. I don't know why people would want to skip that part of the gameplay anyway. The only time I miss the credits is when they have things that would be useful to the game that you can only get with those special credits.

Another soap opera canceled...will any survive?

uicbear @uicbear (1900) • United States 19 Sep 10

With the cancelation of another long time soap opera, As the World Turns, I am beginning to wonder if any soaps will be able to survive. I imagine that they are just very expensive to produce and the fact that they just don't have...

uicbear I hope you are right. It was hard saying good-bye to Guiding Light and World Turns. These were the soaps that I grew up with, the ones that my mom watched and that I got all my friends hooked on in college. Seeing them go, is like losing an old friend.

uicbear Yea, life got really busy there for a while, but hopefully I'll be able to check in here a little more frequently. As for my daytime dilemma, I just don't think I can handle any more Judge so and so shows. My soaps are almost like family time. I watch ABC...

How do you shut down your thinking processes?

uicbear @uicbear (1900) • United States 19 Jul 09

Do you ever get to a point where you just don't want to think about something any more? How do you put it out of your head? Do you go for a run, walk, or drive? Do you put on your headset and listen to some music? Do you meditate,...

uicbear I've often thought about learning to meditate. I hear that it's not only good for those times that you need to tune out the world, but it's also helpful for your overall health.

uicbear I went through a period of time where the only way I could get my mind off of things was to have a drink or two (or three or four) so I hear what you're saying. I also agree that having a plan of action to take care of whatever is on your mind does help lessen...

uicbear I'll watch tv before I so to sleep. I have to figure out where my sleep function is on this set. Often the tv will lull me to just about dozing off, but then I'll wake up to turn off the tv set. It's always interesting that different things...

uicbear television is a great distract-er, unless of course their topic is what you were thinking about to start with. Then it's back to square one.

uicbear When I am stressing out about money, that's when i find it hard to fall asleep. I have gotten much better, though as I have gotten older to just face the fact that I can't fix anything that night, resolve to work on it the next day and go to sleep.

Do you take herbal supplements?

uicbear @uicbear (1900) • United States 9 Feb 09

There are so many different supplements available all claiming to help this or that. Some of the names I am familiar with (though I couldn't tell you what they do) are ginseng, ginko biloba, echinacea, fish oil, and St john's...

uicbear I agree with you completely. If he is taking quite a few herbal medications I would have him talk to a doctor, or at least an herbalist to see if any of the ones he's taking interact badly just with each other.

uicbear Yes, valentine's day can be difficult if you've had your heart broken. But if that person has moved on, it's in your best interest to just let them go and find someone who loves you. Then, this day will be something to look forward to. Good luck.

uicbear It's funny you say that about the kids. No, they didn't hurl, but they were just as wiped out at the end of the day as I was. I remember as a teen I could go from opening to close and still want to do more. Oh well, kids nowadays. As far as the...

uicbear After my mom passed away the day after Christmas, I was determined the following year to have a totally perfect holiday. I worked my tail off(Iwas just 16) and made cookies, baked, and made a huge holiday meal for my family. I shopped til I dropped. I took...

uicbear I wasn't a big fan of Jesse. I thought he was self absorbed and basically just a bit on the stupid side. He definately needs to hook up with someone on the brains clique if he wants to last. I'm sure his ego is going to get him in trouble, because you know...

uicbear We did have a great time. We got some rain in the first couple of hours, but nothing to serious. All the rides were running all day. And then it happened. At about 3pm the clouds parts and the sun appeared. It turned out to be a perfect day. It was warm...

uicbear I think you need a little bit of shallow sometimes in the evening line-up. Anyway, that shows shallow and some of reality shows shallow can't even compare.

uicbear TV execs get what they are paid to get, money and what makes money. Unfortunately, those reality shows are cheap to produce and get big ratings which in turn means big revenue from ad sales. Dramas and even sitcoms are more expensive to produce and don't...

uicbear Just Vitamin C has helped your energy level, or is there an additive to it. It sounds like something I'd be interested in trying.
