Does coffee still keeps you awake?

vycess @vycess (1588) • Saudi Arabia 20 Sep 10

Is coffee still effective to you? I'm not addicted to coffee so it is still effective to me and keeps me awake. But other people are just drinking it like a usual juice drink and doesn't affect them anymore. I only drink coffee...

bon_vivant For awhile, I became almost immune to coffee's effects, because I was constantly drinking it. I suppose I developed a tolerance for it. Since I gave it up, I only drink it occasionally now. It has a bit of a waking effect for me now but not much. At least I...

bon_vivant Oh dear, I know the feeling. I adore books. I've always wanted my own personal library as well. Just looking at stacks upon stacks of books would be wonderful. I collect tons of books also. I have considered buying one of those ebook readers, but I feel that...

Do you use credit card for shopping?

velentina @velentina (891) • Mauritius 3 Jun 10

We tend to do over shopping while using credit card, so I prefer to use cash instead of credit card. I use credit card only in supermarkets? Sometimes I use credit card in big shopping malls.....What about you?

bon_vivant I have a few credit cards, but I'm very careful with them. There's always a greater chance of over-spending with those cards because it's a little harder to keep track of spending. I do use cards occasionally, though, to build good credit. I buy the items I...

Do you love Harry Potter?

ndubose @ndubose (418) • United States 12 May 10

Though I feel that I am a Harry Potter fan I was bored to tears when I watched the last film I know that there was a lot more time needed than usual to portray the story leading to the last film....All and all I told myself when...

bon_vivant I completely agree; "Half-Blood Prince" was one of my favorites from the series. There were some great scenes, humor, and characterization in the book, but I barely saw any of that in the movie. Most parts were a bore, with the exception of the cursing of...

bon_vivant That's been on my To Watch List for quite awhile now. I've only read the book, but I cried buckets over that. I'm a softy though, so it probably doesn't take much for me to tear up. I believe it's one of the more faithful adaptations of Nicholas Sparks's...

bon_vivant The movie that comes to mind for me is "P.S. I Love You". It was just heartbreaking for me for some reason. The story is so sad because she's trying to get over the loss of her husband by reading instructions he wrote to her before his death. I believe it's...

How many of us will read the book more than once?

anuraa32 @anuraa32 (2446) • India 26 May 10

bon_vivant I love re-reading books. If the book is really good, I'll re-read it immediately. Others I would have to wait a month or two before reading them again. It's kind of like meeting an old friend again, I suppose. I know that some people don't like re-reading...

bon_vivant Nutella is so yummy. The first time I tried it was in French class on some croissants. I certainly became addicted. The packaging certainly doesn't do it justice. Of course, if they spent more on packaging, it would probably be more expensive. It's funny...

bon_vivant Hot dogs are my absolute favorite. They remind me of summer time. Hebrew National is a great brand; I buy them for lunch sometimes when I go to Costco. When I was in high school, I flew to Chicago for a trip and ate a real Chicago hot dog. It was the absolute...

Beef replacements for the burger

OpinionatedLady @OpinionatedLady (5965) • United States 6 May 10

I know with some of the hard core burger lovers I am going to tick them off with this question but I am very curious as to what people replace beef burgers with, and if it is a regional thing? Here the stores of coarse all push...

bon_vivant Oh, I've heard of buffalo burgers. We don't have any where I live, but I'd love to try one. I've had mushroom and soy burgers before. Some can be very disgusting; the texture does not even come close to beef. However, I had a great mushroom burger once. You...

What are your favorite Korean Movies and Drama Series?

bon_vivant I really just became obsessed with You're Beautiful. It's such a lovely drama. Park Shin Hye is so adorable. She's the reason that I got hooked on Stairway to Heaven. The younger cast was by far superior to the older cast; once they grew up, I didn't even...

Should J.K. Rowling write an 8th book?

luxetsalus @luxetsalus (4) • United States 6 May 10

J.K. Rowling is one of the most successful authors of this era, writing the extremely popular Harry Potter books. She eclipsed the series with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, a love-it or hate-it novel. Some found the novel...

bon_vivant I'm conflicted too. I love the Harry Potter series; it was such a huge part of my childhood. The Harry Potter books are the only ones I ever pre-order. I loved Deathly Hallows; I don't care how campy the epilogue of that book was. I'm hardcore. Of course I...

Are you considering in buying an IPAD?

bon_vivant I've considered getting an IPAD, but I hate touch screens too. It's the messy fingerprint oils that drive me nuts. Still, I do like the concept, so I may end up purchasing one in the future. It's just that I would like to wait until a better version comes out....

bon_vivant This movie was pretty good; it wasn't great, but I still liked it. The ensemble cast was good too. Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning acted very well. It was odd to see Dakota Fanning so grown up, since I still see her as a child in my mind. The twist towards the...

bon_vivant The only celebrity I've ever encountered is Anderson Cooper. I saw him once, and I was so surprised that I didn't even think to go up to ask him for a picture or anything. It's funny, because I was reading his autobiography at the time. Oh well, even if I did...

bon_vivant Baths are the times when I can relax and just let everything go. It's different from taking a shower, because I usually shower when I'm running low on time. I take baths when I have time or need relaxation. It's nice to just lay in the water and read a book or...
