Anyone love facebook?

mariah0103 @mariah0103 (86) • United States 16 Apr 12

Hello, How are you today? Do you have a facebook? How do you like it? Is it addicting? do you think it's bad? If you have kids do you let them use it? If you don't have kids would you let your future kids use it? Why or why not?...

virtualmirage I use Facebook everyday. I only opened it for my blogs just like I did a Twitter account. I did personalize my page and add plenty of photos but I don't really have a lot of real friends on there or people I care for. It's mostly for business use. I did find...

virtualmirage This is actually not a bad idea at all. As long as it was for a short time and the food in the fridge did not go bad. During the last winter we had the lights go out a few times. Once it was out over 6 hours and it was pretty bad because we were worried about...

My sister and I are not close, we talk less, we see less, and we are together sometimes. We have our own family. But when she approach me or how she talk to me, I can feel that she treated me like her younger sister, I know that...

virtualmirage If you get along with them the best way to show love is to respect them and support them no matter what. My older sister and I have not spoken in over 5 years because she did not respect my choices. She also did not support me the way I have respected her...

virtualmirage I can't listen to more than 2 hours of music per day without getting a huge headache. Plus since I get so distracted by the music, I find it very hard to concentrate on my work so I usually wont turn on any background music at all.

chicgale @chicgale (2982) • Philippines 16 Apr 12

I can't start my day without having a coffee when I wake up. I feel so tired if I won't drink coffee in the morning. It's like my day will not be complete when I don't drink it in the morning. Do you feel the same too coffee...

virtualmirage Yes, yes and yes!!! I have been a coffee drinker since the time I was 17-18. For me coffee is like air and if a day passes where for some reason I didn't get my daily cup of coffee, then I feel completely off. I love having a cup first thing in the morning....

virtualmirage JAJA, I had to laugh at this especially that you had to hang up on her. My mom lives with me and has for about 4 years now. Before that she lived alone and I was the only one of her 5 kids that ever went to check on her and took her out. My mom is a very...

virtualmirage Many reasons: convenience, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing what is out there and them having to face the world alone, disrespect for ones self. None of them make sense except to the people that are going through it. I know a lot of people who stay...

virtualmirage When you give or are giving a gift the receiver does not ever need to know where you bought the item or how much you paid for it. It was rude of her to ask an then very rude of her to say it is only gold plated. I don't ever expect expensive gifts for my...

virtualmirage This is a very hard one, especially as most relationships get ruined when money becomes tight and the relationship can not handle the added stress. My BF and I kind of have a grasp on this, though there will be a time here and there were one of us might let...

virtualmirage I think we are all in full agreement that Michael will probably never rest. His family is going to milk this whole thing for as long as they can and it will probably be years before we stop seeing their ugly faces on tv. Well not ugly, but a bit disfigured,...
