blueboy3 I have been a turker for about two weeks now and have earned around 12 dollars. I am from outside the US so I have to accept amazon.com coupons. That is fine, as I buy quite a few books from the site. I do think that you need to pick and choose carefully...

blueboy3 My last flight was just a quick one hour hop to London. I have had a couple of 10 hour plane rides from Europe to Africa - very, very long. Had a spectacular and scary thunderstorm at night on one of those flights. I was glad when it ended!

blueboy3 Current social and political life is damaged by polarisation into opposing camps and a lack of any substantive reasonable dialogue about what is good for your society. Think of Al Gore's book on bringing rational thinking back into politics. I remember being...

Do you like to make new friends??

Naruto555 @Naruto555 (173) • United States 10 Aug 10

Personally I do because you feel more safe and secure like nobody will mess with you because you got your friends to back you up.Well when I started my first year in middle school I was trying to make new friends because I though...

blueboy3 Yeah, I like to make new friends, though I tend to be poor at proactively seeking them out, as you did in middle school. My friends tend to be a few, close friends, (as you say the kind of people that can be relied on) and I usually meet a new friend when I...

Do you BElieVE in alien abduction?

Crazy_Poster @Crazy_Poster (751) • India 9 Aug 10

There are hundreds of stories about aliens visiting us. So abduction is possible? I don't have any personal experience but I just want to say only one line "YES!I believe". The same way I have never seen UFO or ALIEN but I do...

blueboy3 I think our fascination with aliens (I am fascinated too!) is often more to do with us than with actual aliens as such - with our fears, longings, struggle to understand certain experiences. At the same time, I think it might well be that there are aliens...

blueboy3 It will tone your body and help to burn calories. Only if you do really intense swimming will it give you muscile bulk. Similarly, when I went to the gym I did not gain muscle in any notable way. Mostly my body toned up and I looked thinner. Post-gym, I was a...

blueboy3 Can't say that I wish to be a merman, but, as a kid, I used to think that Patrick Duffy's Man from Atlantis was kinda cool. Swimming under water and the webbed fingers were the thing. Would love to see an old episode now - it would probably be terrible, but...

blueboy3 I am afraid of cross dogs. We had a really dangerous dog when I was a child and as an adult I got bitten by a large alsation. It saddens me that I react like that, as most of the time there is nothing to fear.

jb78000 @jb78000 (15139) 9 Aug 10

there are lots of options when you are very much against something but know that the real reason you feel this way is not particularly valid - perhaps you don't want to think about why, perhaps something makes you feel...

blueboy3 I have often found myself in this kind of position at work. I think the key thing is to listen to that inner voice saying you do not like this. Sometimes, just naming it frees up your mind to the answer. Other times, I have simply said, this seems the wrong...

blueboy3 It is difficult, all too easy to get sucked into that way of being. If you don't you can be isolated. I always tried to keep out of it, and when gossip was being spread tried to indicate my disdain for it.
