hbalmer Bad manners are distracting and can be downright disgusting. One of my coworkers picks his nose at work and even worse he will be talking to you at the same time. I have developed the ability to ignore it, but it isn't what I would call professional behavior.

hbalmer Too many of us have sat with a great first sentence and struggled to find the next coherent thought to mesh it into a great story, article, or report. The most important thing to remember is that allowing ourselves to be completely stressed out by an impending...

Adults reading children's books.

owatagoosiam @owatagoosiam (751) • United States 1 Mar 08

There are some books, apparently written for children, which adults can read and still enjoy. One example would have been "The Hobbit" which I believe was intended to be read by a younger audience. Another, more recent, example...

hbalmer First, let me tell you that the Hobbit was actually written for adults and eventually worked its way down to the teenage and now the preteen set. It is an amazing book that allows each person, of each age group and reading experience, the opportunity to...

hbalmer Being patient while awaiting for any anti-depressant to kick in can be very distressing. The most important thing to realize that there is no standard dose that works for every person. There are many issues that impact the effectiveness of a medication and it...

hbalmer Back in the 1960s there was a movement to change from real sized women as models to those who were extremely thin with few curves. Twiggy was the first in the most well known of these hyper-thin models. Fashion designers continued to design for the very thin...

How do you make an indoor cat become an outdoor cat?

Bella75 @nixxi76 (3191) • Canada 28 Feb 08

This morning my son and I were outside waiting for his bus to pick him up for school. I decided I would let my cat be involved with this. I went inside to get the cat, and brought him outside. I pretty much had to hold him because...

hbalmer There are many ways to help your cat become more comfortable outside. Think it through carefully before you go this route. Has your cat had all of his shots? Has he been around noises that are common to the outdoors (hearing birds and cars through windows...

Do you see a penny and pick it up?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 28 Feb 08

I used to pick up every penny I saw as it is good luck to pick it up. At least that is what my mom used to tell me. These days I rarely bend over to pick up a penny, I guess I am just too lazy. I'll stoop for a nickel. I know a...
