My nephews cannot split with their mobile phone...

srisahara @srisahara (4508) • Indonesia 1 Apr 13

I live in my parent's house with two nephews. I am very annoyed with their habit. They cannot split with their mobile phone. They always bring their mobile phone in bathroom, toilet, kitchen and always keep it in their pocket....

FireflyN I live in a suburb in the USA, and the amount of kids around here that are attached to their phones and other devices is just ridiculous. Everywhere I go, be it a restaurant, the grocery store, college, or even a doctor's office, nearly everyone, even older...

cynthiann @cynthiann (18612) • Jamaica 2 Apr 13

My GS turned down the window and shouted and waved, so she slowed down. The twins were happy to see me and wanted to talk but after a tight smile she drove off again. I was hurt but just smiled and waved at them. I knew that...

FireflyN You can't take everything too seriously. Sometimes a person needs to make light of a situation in order to keep their head and properly see to the situation. Nothing wrong with that at all :) You know, checking for explosives isn't necessarily a bad idea....

Anticipation of being kissed again...

FireflyN First off, congratulations~ When you're not expecting to be kissed, especially for the first time, it can throw you off and distract you momentarily, making your mind totally blank and space out. That's not a bad thing, though! And the fact that you smile...

Is It Harder to Buy or Sell on eBay?

Helloforrest @Helloforrest (1) • United States 28 Mar 13

In my experience I have found that listing something on eBay, selling it, and then going to the post office to have it shipped is more of a hassle then just bidding on something and waiting for it to come in the mail. What do...

buy

ebay

sell

7 responses

FireflyN Personally, I feel that buying off of ebay is so much easier. I have sold some things, and trying to take things to the post office, box them, figure out pricing, and send them is frankly more trouble than it should be, in my personal opinion.

I fell for an April Fool's Day joke

maximax8 @maximax8 (31042) • United Kingdom 1 Apr 13

I got an email from the Student Travel Agency. It said it has a new deal called seat share. It mentioned only one person sit in the seat at home time and they would have to share the inflight meal. Okay, it all turned out to...

FireflyN I live in the USA, where we have April Fools' Day. It is very popular with the younger generations. I used to fall for April Fools' jokes a lot when I was in elementary and middle school.

I can't really understand Google Plus

youless @youless (113952) • Guangzhou, China 4 Mar 13

Google Plus seems to be a famous and popular feature in Google. However, I don't really understand it. Actually I have registered an account just because I have to finish some online tasks. I can't find what's special for it. And...

FireflyN I find Google+ to be very simplistic in nature, especially when compared to Facebook. I don't like Facebook because I feel it is too cluttered with ads and random things to do. It has become more of a game site and place where people fight for attention,...

FireflyN I totally understand what you mean. My ex-boyfriend is in the Army, and is stationed on the west coast of the USA, whereas I am on the east coast. He managed to visit pretty much every 4-day weekend he had, which was about once every other month. It wasn't...

Imagine milking a cow by hand!

barehugs @barehugs (8973) • Canada 26 Mar 13

I grew up on a farm before there was electricity and everything was done by hand, even milking the cows. Milking time was 6am, and 6 pm, and everyone helped. We all had cows (we called them our cows) that we milked. To milk a cow...

FireflyN I have milked both cows and goats by hand. I must say that it is quite a lot of work, no matter the animal, but personally I find it quite enjoyable. I have been working on farms since I was seven, so I feel right at home when spending time with animals. I...

FireflyN If you have a Gmail account, you can use Google Calendar. I use it for all of my stuff. You can create different calendars, too, like one for work, one for social events, one for birthdays, etc. I am not sure about having it displayed on the desktop, though....

FireflyN I was raised to show respect. I call people by their titles, be it mom, dad, aunt, uncle, mister, miss. It doesn't matter. I feel it is disrespectful to call someone by just their first name, unless they have asked you to or stated that it is ok for you to do...

Working At Home Is Not For Everyone

craziestqueenever @craziestqueenever (1819) • Philippines 26 Mar 13

FireflyN Finding a job online is difficult, and finding one that pays even decently is even harder. Working online is definitely not for everyone, and it is a good thing that you have come to figure out that you don't feel suited for it. This means that you can begin...

FireflyN I believe that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions. When someone tells me that they don't believe in God, or something else that I believe in, I accept that they can choose to not believe in such things, and I let the topic go.

FireflyN That sounds very much like getting fired. You seem to have done the best you can do, by not losing your head and yelling at her, but still explaining things and laying them out for her. Sometimes people need someone to be firm and tough in order for them to...

I Love Milk Chocolate

stealthy @stealthy (8181) • United States 25 Mar 13

FireflyN Those look really pretty! I have never heard of using Styrofoam to make Easter eggs. The fabric was such a great touch. I have always just used hard boiled eggs for decoration, and plastic ones for hiding for kids. Thank you for sharing! I might have to give...
