Jezebella I cannot think of anyone famous who was born on the same day as I was. But I do know two people who were. My close friend T was born on the same day as I was thirteen years earlier and my boyfriend! It's weird having the same birthday as my wonderful...

sudalunts I was born on the birthday of ex Vice President Gerald Ford, which is July 14. July 14, is also Bastille Day in France. I never have a big celebration like the one in France, but I like the idea that I was born on a holiday, even if it is another country.

Stephannie I think I would have done the same thing too since they just could not get my order right to begin with. I would be so tired of sitting there waiting for them to cook it the right way. That is a waste of time.

sudalunts I was at a restaurant a couple of weeks ago and ordered a vegetable platter. Well, the food came to me cold, and the rice was so glued together it looked like I had golf balls on my plate. I didn't eat it or take it back. When the waiter came with the bill, I...

Alexandria37 Your friend was perfectly right although I wouldn't have done it. I have seen too many tv programmes about what can sometimes happen to food when it is sent back. Therefore, I will either eat it or just sit and stare at it, then pay my bill and walk out. Later...

scorpio19 I think I would of kept quiet but I admire you friend for doing it, more should I think. I bet that steak wasn't cheap so why should he have it, if it wasn't what he'd ordered.

Anne18 I have an old fork that my grandad gave me when i was about 20 years old (I'm now 45). It was a bit bent when he gave it to me, and is a bit more bent now, but it still sits in my shed.

Alexandria37 Yes, sunset is really beautiful, that is, when the weather is kind to us. I am living out in the middle of the countryside and I can see the sunset to the right of my back garden. In summer, I like to sit out and watch the sun as it disappears from sight and...

Xdrowninghavocx Sunrises and sunsets are the same to me. Well, visually anyway, I feel more peaceful when I watch a sunset because it's an ending. I'm not a morning person so I feel sleep deprived when the sun comes up. And sunrises are kind of depressing because it signifies...

OverheatOvertired I prefer sunsets. I am in a loft room and have a nice view out of my window. Of course, the light pollution is such that the sky is orange and pink, but I don't mind that. I think that if I lived in the country I would prefer sunrises, but I like my personal...

Stephannie My husband is the only one in our family that wears eyeglasses. They are bi-focals also. He said they give him a headache to look through them for a long period of time. I bet he would really have problems with the arifocals too.

danishcanadian I've never warn that type of glasses before, but from what you say the problem would make sense. I can't imagine having to move my head to see what iam looking at. With my very poor balance, that would make me dizzy too. Best of luck going back to the original...

santuccie It depends on what the problem is. Software errors I can fix. And one of the most common reasons for a computer to "crash" and stop working is for a hard drive to fail. I always keep a backup image of my hard drive on DVD, created in Acronis. If it's...
