Have you ever felt an earthquake and what did you do?

stary1 @stary1 (6611) • United States 28 Apr 11

I live in California and have experienced several. Years ago, I used to stand in a doorway because that is what we were told to do. Later I read never do that because the door can swing and hit you. It is my understanding that we...

Optimist104 Yes, you are right there. Then back in the 1980s, we were advised to stand in the doorways. Maybe it was because they thought structurally doorways were stronger. Not anymore. My experience was in Taichung in Taiwan in 1980.

Today is good Friday and yes it's a national holiday for most countries. It's the day when Jesus was crucified and died on the cross. It's the day Jesus suffered physically for our sins. As I was reading my daily bible reading...

Optimist104 Malaysia does not observe Good Friday as a national holiday. It is a Muslim country. Yes, the Good Lord died for us on the cross to redeem all the sins of mankind. Aren't we blessed or what!

I Know Money Isn't Everything..But It Helps!

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 25 Feb 11

We all get accused of being too materialistic at times BUT whenever a person works for a living and knows (deep down) they are not being paid what they are worth by the company, then it all gets a bit depressing and we all wonder...

Optimist104 Well, a bonanza like that is really mind shattering! While others have been getting their due desserts, John was perhaps overlooked! So, justice was served when he got back the 'real' increment. I am sure that new pay rise rate can be considered some form of...

keshlois143 @keshlois143 (713) • Philippines 21 Feb 11

Banking is a modern way of making business these days. The most traditional way of getting rich is saving money as our folks used to teach us. I have been thinking what age is the right age for kids to bank their money. Piggy bank...

Optimist104 As soon as practicable, kids should be taught the basic economic concepts. They must know what constitute income and how that is utilised. There is the large component of consumption and the balance for savings or investment. Since not many will have such...

How do you pass the time while waiting for something?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 17 Feb 11

We spend a lot of time waiting for things. Sometimes we're waiting for a specific day to come like Christmas, or a vacation, or a birthday. Sometimes we're waiting for news, like results from a test. Sometimes we're just waiting...

Optimist104 Well, I think conditioning is important. So, what I normally do is to take my mind off the things in question. While waiting for an event to take place, I will do other chores and if there is time, catch a movie or two or if I am waiting outside for my car to...

Optimist104 This is very worrying. I thought that paypal is a fool-proof payment mechanism. Do check with paypal if indeed the money has been surreptitiously taken out. Let them confirm this and then perhaps paypal can backtrack using their software on who is the...

The American, is it a good or a bad movie

Zsolt72 @Zsolt72 (55) • Hungary 31 Oct 10

I have read very bad critics on The American starring George Clooney. They say it is boring, without any action or at least tension, its not a thriller but a fake art movie. The other day I have watched it and I understand why...

Optimist104 I fully agree with you. The mood is certainly drab and dark. It shows your the angst and fears of the hit man. Even the pastoral priest could not assure him of his due ' heaven'. As you put it right, 'American' is one lonely man!

Optimist104 Politics is the art of the possible. So, when you first get initiated into politics, you would think that the meritorious candidate will be the likely pick. Oftentimes, we get this all wrong. In a much open western economy,where the media is not...

Optimist104 I think it is totally up to your wife. In these modern times, women can make that choice for themselves. You will be wading into dangerous water if you want to make the decision for your wife. If she does not want to work, that is a different situation...

Optimist104 Well, faint heart won't win fair lady. So do not give up hope but soldier on. If the girl truly loves you, then she will not marry anyone else. Love is a two way traffic. So, do pray that she will return your love against all odds.
