andrew_lbp I would suggest that you introduce her to nicorette gum or patch. It helps the smoker overcome her dependence on nicotine by providing another alternative to nicotine, which is less hazardous than smoking. Over time, she would become less and less dependent on...

andrew_lbp Looks pretty much like a scam. You got to ignore this. There will be many of these messages you could receive frequently. Too good to be true.

andrew_lbp For the sake of your child, please do not be bothered with this bluntness. Just explained your child's condition normally and not read too much into people's thoughts. We can't change the way people behave and how they think. But, we can control our own...

Chupacabra - Does it exist?

fluffleshark @fluffleshark (810) • Ireland 3 Jan 07

Do you believe that the chupacabra ('goat-sucker') exists? I was watching a documentary on the discovery channel about it the other night, and was wondering what other people think. On the documentary they basically talked about...

andrew_lbp Think I watched the same discovery channel program. My opinion is that if we can reproduce the same effects on the corpses, then this should be a natural phenomenon. For the overnight incidents, it could be that the corpse had been in one location for sometime...

andrew_lbp I wonder if the drinking problem could be addressed in the same manner as cigarette smoking. Nowadays, we usually see health warnings on cigarette packaging. I was wondering if we can use the same concept on wine or beer bottles. At least, this puts the risk...

andrew_lbp Its really disturbing and the sad thing is that these crimes are on the rise every year. Maybe this is also related to increase in the number of people developing pyschiatric problems.

andrew_lbp If they are seeking self improvement, then I think pointing out grammar mistakes would not be considered rude. I would suggest that in your return comment, state that you need further clarifications before rephrasing their response. Less impact this way.

andrew_lbp For me, it also depends on my mood. Normally, I would like to have hot strong coffee. On weekends, I would go for cappucino or flavoured coffee. However, the coffee bean I have best is Sumatran Madheling. It has strong aroma and body. Try it!
