aodoerfer Your children will only be children for so long. I think spending time with their parents is much more important for them than money is. I know I would rather have money be tight and have a good relationship with my parents than the other way around. There are...

Gloved Versace Dress of Angelina Jolie. You like it?

Ritchelle @Ritchelle (3790) • Philippines 15 Dec 10

In the Berlin premiere of “The Tourist” Angelina was caught in two official photographs wherein she was both wearing black. The first one, taken in the afternoon, was for a photocall at the Adlon Hotel. She was in a simple sheath...

aodoerfer It's a little less boring than the dresses she usually wear, but I'm really sick of seeing her in black. I find her to be pretty dull from a fashion standpoint. So much of what she wears is in neutral colors and it's just sort of drapey and hangs there. I...

Your Highness Emperor Albert Whisker @CaptAlbertWhisker (32738) • Calgary, Alberta 15 Dec 10

Usually bands break up because of personality clashes and sometimes artistic differences. It is depressing for fans when the band that provides them music they love part wars for different reasons. Some bands disband to form a new...

aodoerfer When one of my favorite bands, Ben Folds Five, disbanded, it worked out pretty well for me, since Ben Folds has put out some terrific solo music since. Actually, I think most experiences I've had with bands breaking up hasn't been that bad. When The...

daiweian06 @daiweian06 (1405) 15 Dec 10

I wore jeans almost everyday. I'm more comfortable to wear jeans than shorts. But this past few days im trying the other style which is the skirts and sometimes shorts. Just for fun and to make something new, different from the...

aodoerfer I wear jeans just about every day, unless I have a specific reason not to wear them. I just feel more comfortable in them than anything else. When the weather where I am is warmer, I do sometimes wear shorts instead. I'm personally not very comfortable in...

slasher films seemed to be a star maker

Your Highness Emperor Albert Whisker @CaptAlbertWhisker (32738) • Calgary, Alberta 15 Dec 10

I know many people underestimate slasher as a movie genre, lots of people think horror is trash, or will never win a career but there has been horror movies where the actor or actress won an acting award. Most of the most popular...

aodoerfer Since horror movies are often campy and appeal to certain fanbases, I can get why the genre as a whole is underrated, even though I'm a big fan! It's definitely fun to see famous people in them though, especially in small parts. My personal favorites are...

I hate Horror Movies..

mikyle @mikyle (45) • Philippines 15 Dec 10

Well, I know a lot of you can relate about this... I hate horror movies! I really can't stand watching horror movies or even the suspense ones. My friends and family really laughed at me because I will really cover my face and...

aodoerfer I've always loved horror movies, so I can't help you there! I'd advise you to just avoid watching them, though. If you're not a fan of the genre, it's not like you'll be missing out on much! I know that I personally don't like romantic comedies, and although...

aodoerfer Yes, I've had dreams like that several times. They're pretty horrible, and I'm sorry that you've had them. Although dreams like that always turn out to be prophetic in stories, that's never been my personal experience, and it is always a big relief to be able...

Do you use other web browsers other than Firefox?

mochan4242 @mochan4242 (3) • United States 15 Dec 10

I absolutely love Firefox and it is what took me away from the horror of Internet Explorer. However, I absolutely love Chrome and RockMelt. I use RockMelt because social media is actually integrated into it and it's super easy to...

aodoerfer Even though I think Firefox has the nicest interface of any browser by far, I use Chrome. Firefox is just incredibly buggy. It has a major memory leak issue, and it crashes or doesn't respond way too much for me, since I work from my computer. I will...

Bad weather!Which shoes you wear?

chaos123 @chaos123 (132) 15 Dec 10

Bad weather, snow heavy, freezing cold, I hope sunshine tomorrow. I don't know which shoe I can wear to work. Boots? High heels? Everyday I have to waste more than five minutes decide shoes I wear. Did you have such experience?...

4 responses

aodoerfer You couldn't pay me to wear high heels in nasty weather! I like to wear sweater boots whenever it's appropriate. If I need more formal shoes, I'd wear a practical boot without much of a heel. Keeping my feet warm and comfortable is definitely my top priority...

Amazon.com, payment method.

2EarnMoney2 @2EarnMoney2 (1160) • United States 15 Dec 10

Was wondering what sites people use to get money into their Amazon.com account? I know their Micro Job site has instant payments, but with limited skills my earning their isn't what I want, so looking for some other sites. I use...

aodoerfer Amazon's own money making site, mturk, is by far the best way to make money on Amazon in my opinion. Money you earn is deposited directly into an Amazon Payments account, and you can earn money pretty quickly. There's a good variety of stuff available for you...

Any other movie you know that is kinda like "Little Miss Sunshine"?

damned_dle @damned_dle (3939) • Philippines 12 Dec 10

Do you know any other movie that is kinda like "Little Miss Sunshine"? You know, something very funny and very serious at the same time, but is presented in a story that is very easy to understand.

little miss sunshine

3 responses

aodoerfer I'd recommend the films of Wes Anderson. He has a lot of strange, but interesting characters, like the movie Little Miss Sunshine has. Most of his movies are also darkly humorous. Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic are especially good. Another...

How many hours is okay to use your laptop in one day?

luciferinchaos @luciferinchaos (50) • Indonesia 13 Dec 10

My old PC is failing. Last time the RAM was dead. Now it's either dead (again) or just slipped a bit, I can't use the PC anyway. So I use my laptop. But I work with it for over 8 hours a day. Is that bad for its life expectancy?...

aodoerfer I use my laptop all day, and I've had no problems. I would just make sure you don't use it directly on your lap so that overheating doesn't become a problem. They make lots of little lap trays that you can use with your laptop to make sure it stays cool while...

Dream of ‘time machine’.

DoctorDidi @DoctorDidi (7004) • India 13 Dec 10

Do you think the dream of ‘time machine’ for going back to the past would ever come true on any day in the coming future? If yes, how?

aodoerfer I think we may someday find a way to travel to the future, but I don't think we'll ever discover a means of traveling backwards in time. This is a disappointment to me, since I'd absolutely love to go back in time, but from what I've read, it truly seems...

Do you ever watch HGTV? I think I'm addicted.

Chrystaltears @chrystaltears (3392) • United States 13 Dec 10

My daughter watched 'House Hunters'. I thought it was boring, but then I became addicted. After I watch Joyce Myers, Benny Hinn and Kenneth Copeland, I turn to HGTV. I've not only become addictive to House Hunters, but I love all...

aodoerfer Yes, I love HGTV. My favorite show is House Hunters, but I don't enjoy the international version as much. I also really like My First Home and that show where they help people to sell their house with only $2000 worth of improvements. Anything with kitchen...

Best gift?

What is the best gift that you can give to your boyfriend? I have a hard time in deciding for he might not like it. Any suggestions?

aodoerfer I think the best gift for anyone is something that shows you really listen to what they say. For example, if there's something your boyfriend talks about a lot, like maybe a tv show, you could get them that tv show on dvd and tell them you got it since they've...

Books or movies?

glamgirldoll @glamgirldoll (313) • Philippines 14 Dec 10

aodoerfer I'd rather see something action heavy on the big screen then read about it in a book. However, I think more complex types of stories work much better in prose form then they do in movies. I really enjoy books by Haruki Murakami, and I don't think most of his...
