I should be modest and humble, I haven't learned enough

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 28 Dec 11

Before yesterday, I thought that I knew enough about computer operating, and I can do a lot of work that IT department personnel can do. Actually, in reality I am just overrated my ability. I certainly not qualify for it now, and...

fannitia @fannitia (2167) • Bulgaria 26 Dec 11

Do you think that the 3D videos will be harmful for the eyesight?

youless @youless (113953) • Guangzhou, China 25 Dec 11

I think the 3D videos will be bad for the eyesight. As we know, even if you watch TV for a long time everyday, it will make your eyesight worse. If it is even 3D videos, I think your eyes will feel much more tiring. And it will be...

LifeOngoing I think that long periods might be harmful, but I also think that there might be a little benefit in short amounts. Your eyes will be getting a little exercise with that slight aiming correction thing that 3d videos do. There's some research saying that aiming...

LifeOngoing The longer my wife and I are together the less we talk. The closer you grow together the less you need to say. If you haven't been together long then yes you need to talk. Why not ask about some of the things that you've always wondered about your partner?...

LifeOngoing I do have a bread machine that I use occasionally to help make dough. The yeast is the same as regular yeast. I have used it with or without a bread machine. The only difference is in whether or not I'm "prepping" the yeast with warm water. The quick acting...

LifeOngoing I would wage war on that mouse. I would take my room back from it, and I would not stop until it was deceased. I guess you can tell that I can't stand them? Even if you never find out what it is they're eating. They're eating something of yours in your room.
