savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 8 Apr 13

For no reason that I can think of today just seems like a bad luck day. And I don't really believe in luck. Maybe the weather is changing, I don'tn9ow why but I just want to go to bed and pull the covers over my head. Do you have...

GDTimothy Yep, been there, done that! LOL! It's not really a bad luck day for me today, but it has been a gray, rainy day all day so far, and I don't feel like doing much of anything. I think it is SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).

Emotional Responce

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 9 Apr 13

Do you like discussions that wake up your emotions? I do and I especially enjoy them when I originate them, because then I get many different responses and usually learn a point of view I did n't know before. Blessings

GDTimothy Cool story! I had two parakeets that I got from a pet store. They were supposed to one male and one female as the shopkeeper told me they were, so we named them accordingly. A couple of years later, the "male" started laying eggs! Oooops! At least we found out...

The sticky patch is quite useful

youless @youless (113953) • Guangzhou, China 7 Apr 13

Lately I bought some sticky patches via the net. Since my son's trousers have two holes and I'd like to fix it. I don't like wasting. It is very convenient to do so. You can use the iron on the sticky patches, and soon it will be...

GDTimothy I use the plain sticky patches on the inside of the holes in my jeans quite often - no sense wasting an otherwise good pair of jeans, and I hate having holes in my jeans, unlike a lot of kids here in the U.S. who think pants with holes in them are cool. Heck,...

I am not very worried about H7N9

youless @youless (113953) • Guangzhou, China 7 Apr 13

Latly the bird flu viru H7N9 has affected in Shanghai. Even though, I am not so worried about it. After all, I have experienced the horrible SARS in 2003 here. Compares to it, I don't think H7N9 is very scary. After all, the...

GDTimothy I have to say that I am not too worried about it either, though I will grant that maybe I should be. But it hasn't reached pandemic levels yet, so I'm sure that not too many other folks are worried about it either. On the other hand, if H7N9 was affecting me...

Everything happens for a reason? Or not?

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 7 Apr 13

We hear this expression often. "Everything happens for a reason?" my answer is maybe, whatever the truth of this matter is, the problem is we can only make that statement with hindsight. You never hear that all was prodicted...

GDTimothy If everything happens for a reason, then I want to know What's The Reason? One can always make up reasons up after the fact, I suppose, but still, I would ask what the particular reason is. In other words, I don't go for it at all. Yes, hindsight is always...

do you boil used toothpicks just to save money?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 1 Apr 13

Do you have the habit to use the mobile phone before sleep?

youless @youless (113953) • Guangzhou, China 31 Mar 13

I don't think the jeans with holes are cool

youless @youless (113953) • Guangzhou, China 23 Mar 13

In fact I don't understand why the manufactures have to make the brand new jeans into holes on purpose. I really don't think it looks cool. I also don't think why people will be interested in these jeans

GDTimothy I don't completely understand it either, nor do I like it at all. As far as I'm concerned, it you have holes in your jeans, then you need to either get them patched or get new jeans.

The look of a Rock singer

youless @youless (113953) • Guangzhou, China 24 Mar 13

Lately I watched a TV show about singing. I agree that the Rock singer can have various kinds of look. It is not a must for a Rock singer to have long hair. A bald singer can be rocking:-)

rock

GDTimothy Yes, a rock singer can be bald. But performances on stage are geared to appearance, while songs recorded in the studio and then released to the public have no such requirement. If you're just listening, and not watching, then appearance doesn't play a part....
