Has Internet changed your definition of friendship?

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 1 Jun 09

Vickiq You may very well be right, scheng1 about talking on the phone giving way to texting. In my area we don't have many internet-cafes that I am aware of and most of the younger people I know that have cell phones are under 18 and, while they do text they do call...

Do you prefer scrambled eggs; fried eggs or omelets for breakfast?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 26 May 09

Most times, I prefer scrambled eggs and even enjoy scrambled egg sandwiches. Though sandwiches are more of a lunch time meal. I don't like fried eggs, never have. And, I've never had an omelet. How do you like your...

Vickiq For me the internet has not changed the definition of friendship. A friend is somone with whom you have, usually common interests and have formed a mutual bond of affection and esteem. I don't think that has changed with friends in the "real world". The...

The Order of Responses to Discussions

Vickiq @Vickiq (52) • United States 31 May 09

I am wondering if there is a way to put new responses to discussions on "top"? It seems to me that it would make it much easier to find new responses when you are going back to a discussion that you are interested in. I'm rather...

Respectful or disrespectful?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 30 May 09

I recently found out I have Asperger's syndrome and the husband and i are trying to figure out what that all means and how we think differently and all that. Back in 2004 my mom passed away. She was quite eccentric and secure...

Vickiq What your family did in regard to your mom's wishes was absolutely the right thing to do. In the end, what it means is that you all respected her, how she felt and what she wanted. I would have done the same thing. Funeral services and memorials are there for...

Vickiq As a parent, I think that it is important that you encourage and support your children in all the good things they do and that it is OK to fail but not to give up. Even when they make mistakes or do wrong a parent should loving show them the error of their...

Vickiq The best way to find out if you have COPD is to make an appointment with your doctor. I'm not a doctor so this is just a guess, but I would think that if you have emphasema there is a good chance you also have COPD. I have COPD with emphasema. I am supposed to...

Vickiq First, congratulations on your win. I have never won anything big on the lottery but did, about 5 years ago, win $35,000 on a scratch off. After income taxes, it came to $26,600. Now that was sweet! Just wish I could do it again!

bloglog @bloglog (628) • Singapore 31 May 09

Vickiq If it is a matter that I am "thirsty", then the only thing that will really quench my thirst is water. If I am wanting to "cool down" when it is hot I would opt for ice cream.

Vickiq I was raised a Christian and with the belief in God and I guess that I do believe. I do for certain believe that I would rather live my life as though there were and find out there is not, than live it as though there were no God and find out there was.
