Now that I am at home more, I am noticing things in how I cook. One thing I noticed was the spices (or lack thereof) and I made a post about it. Thank you for all your responses. I learned from them that I seem to be unusual in...

Brenda The Internet makes it way too easy to try to pretend to be something you're not. Unfortunately, it's always been this way and I don't foresee it changing.

Do you have a DVR? If so did it change how you watch tv?

heathcliff @heathcliff (1415) • United States 7 Feb 10

I never thought DVR would change my viewing habits as much as it had. The combination of recording shows without having the right tape in and programming the nasty VCR with being able to pause, rewind, skip commercials when you...

Brenda I've never had a DVR and heck, we don't even have cable TV anymore. I honestly thought I'd miss it but Hulu is really all I need. You can watch more shows this way and for less money. You may want to give that a try before investing in a new DVR.

Do You Write Your Middle Name or Middle Initial?

Rainegurl @Rainegurl (2156) • Philippines 6 May 09

I always make sure that when I write my name, especially in legal documents, I also write my middle initial. It seems to me that if I do not write it, my name looks incomplete. I feel the same when I see other people's name...

Do you go to the bathroom with the door open or closed?

smooch091784 @smooch091784 (973) • Philippines 4 May 09

Actually it depends.. At home, mostly, I go to the bathroom even the door is open.. But there are times I close the door like when I have to do some call of nature.. So you know, to keep the smell in the bathroom.....

Brenda It's just my daughter and I here at home so I rarely if ever close the bathroom door, nor does she. I don't know why but it's just the way we are. Maybe it's because our bathroom is so small or something. However, like you said, whenever I go out I definitely...
