Where you live vs. Convenience & Comfort

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 28 Oct 10

Do you smile and say hello?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 29 Sep 10

I was having a crappy day, and I was at a local grocery trying to get a few things which I should have gotten on my last trip. As I stood in front of the shelves, berating myself, with my mind at a hundred miles a minute, I saw a...

van_city10 I always say hello, and smile at people...maybe because I live in Canada, and people here are generally very over-polite. Which in most cases is a good thing. Even driving to work this morning, stopping at stop lights and looking over to the side and making...

Olympic hockey gold for team USA good for NHL?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 21 Feb 10

Don't you think that it'll be ultimately good for the NHL if the US team won it all the way in this winter Olympics? Specially with the young talents that they have on the team right now? Brian Burke keeps saying that they are the...

van_city10 I really dont think there's much more hope for hockey in the US to get any more popular. I live in Canada, but have a lot of friends in the US, and most of them dont even realize that the US has a team in the Olympics. Maybe theyre all a little slow, but maybe...

van_city10 try www.webs.com, theyre free and not too bad to set up. You will always have a lot of ads on the free ones, but if you just want something basic, its the way to go.

van_city10 Theres no way Id ever spend the money they want for that over-sized ipod touch. Theres no camera, no mic, no flash media, no downloading unless from the App store, no multi-tasking...seems quite useless to me, Id rather spend 150 on a good quality e-reader,...

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 30 Mar 09

Do you drink energy drinks? If so, how often, and what kind? Or do you try to avoid them - for health / money reasons? As I'm sure you know, in the past couple of years, energy drinks have SOARED in popularity and have become...

van_city10 Ive used Synergy quite a few times in a work setting, but it has always been on XP machines...never with two different OS'. I would think it should work, but there can never be any guarantees...especially youre dealing with Vista.

better lover

who is always the better lover... the males or the females.. lets debate..

better lover

2 responses

van_city10 Let me first say that I am the best lover...and other than that, Id say it has to come down the person, not the gender. I think women are more intimate and personal, men are more direct and just want to get things done. Having said that, dont take my word for...

van_city10 Well...I hate to tell you this but generally when a boot file is missing, its not often caused by viruses. It is more than likely a problem with the Microsoft operating system. Microsoft systems often have problems with individual files either being corrupted,...

Do u think MONEY in the most important things in ur life?!

iluvu520 @iluvu520 (4) • Hong Kong 15 Mar 09

I don't think so. Money is important. It can buy a big house.. but not a warm family! It can buy a valuable and rare's watch.. but not the time! And how about ur opinion? Share it!

van_city10 I wish we didnt need money...its the root of all evil. Money makes the world go around, but it also takes the world done...and fast.
