Do you invest in the stock market?

flydanman @flydanman (111) 12 Apr 11

How many of you invest in stocks/shares/equities funds? How much do you invest each month/year and do you have any good stock tips or predictions for the future direction of different global equity markets?

flydanman I think you misunderstood my question. I'm not talking about investing in online websites. I'm talking about investing in equities/stocks of corporations or index-tracker funds of the Dow Jones or FTSE. I agree that investing money in online websites is often...

flydanman Why do you think it's a waste of money? I've made real gains through investing in equities funds. If you do your research and invest for the long-term rather than investing for just a day or two you can make money.

flydanman Exactly, it was not McCain or Palin's policy to pull troops out of Afghanistan. I'd love to see a link too because I've got a feeling that Palin nor McCain ever said they would pull troops out. I frankly find it dispicable that Obama, who has no military...

Have you been to Krakow, Poland? Did you enjoy it?

flydanman @flydanman (111) 5 Oct 09

I'm planning to go to Krakow next month with my wife. I've been to Warsaw before but this is my wife's first time to Poland. We've done a little bit of research and we want to go and see Auschwitz and Burkeneau and the Salt Mines...

How much do you recycle?

flydanman @flydanman (111) 5 Oct 09

Are you good at recycling or do you tend to throw most of your trash away in regular dustbins? I recycle all of my paper and most of my recyclable plastics but I'm not so good at recycling glass as I don't tend to buy much that...

flydanman I think you make a great point. I heard that the energy used to recycle paper was actually four times greater than producing it from scratch. It makes you wonder how environmentally friendly recycling is at times.

What is your favourite meat?

flydanman @flydanman (111) 11 Sep 09

What is your favourite meat to eat and/or cook? Do you prefer white meats or red meats? I love the flavour of lamb and the versatility of chicken. I also enjoy the richness of Venison. How about you?

flydanman I love Indian chicken dishes too, tandoori chicken is delicious!

Do bad things really happen in threes?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 8 Sep 09

My streak of bad luck started last week with a rock on the freeway. Now I have a two foot long crack in my front windshield. Then on Sunday Richard went to mow the lawn and the mower wouldn't start. Third problem with that mower...

flydanman They were quite hard, yes! Fortunately they weren't so hard that I had to get an engineer to check the aircraft over but they weren't far off.

Who is the most valuable player in england national team.

vittal89 @vittal89 (2) • India 14 Jul 09

There are many players over the years.. but only some of them scored goals regularly. Players such as beckam,lampard,gerrard,rooney,crouch,and others played some significiant role in the team performance... who do you think..

england soccer

flydanman I think Wayne Rooney is a liability in all honesty. His temper often gets the better of him and it takes away his focus. I think I'd have to echo the sentiments for John Terry. A successful team doesn't just score goals, it also concedes very few.

How old were you the last time you wore a diaper?

flydanman @flydanman (111) 15 Jul 09

I stopped wearing them during the daytime when I was 3 years old but I had a harder time staying dry at night though and didn't stop wearing them at night until I was almost four and a half. Most of my friends say they stopped...

flydanman I'm sorry about your step dad making you a wear diaper all day, even to school just because of having an accident. I had quite a few accidents after I stopped wearing diapers. Thankfully I was never made to wear a diaper a school, I would have been humiliated...

Have you ever broken a bone?

flydanman @flydanman (111) 15 Jul 09

Have you ever broken a bone in an accident or from falling over or playing sports? I've been quite fortunate, I've only ever broken my little pinky finger playing soccer and managed to avoid broken legs or arms.

5 responses

flydanman I've heard the itching can be the worst part, a few of my friends used to try and come up with various flat things that they could poke down their plaster cast to try and relieve the itch! I'm so glad you've not had the misfortune of breaking a bone, I've seen...

What brand of diapers do you/did you use on your kids?

flydanman @flydanman (111) 29 Jun 09

Did you use Pampers, Huggies, Luvs, a store brand or something else? How did you decide which ones to get? Were you loyal to one brand or did you tend to buy the cheapest/what was on offer?

flydanman Eating KFC once or twice a year isn't going to make you fat. Everything in moderation.

What is Alan Jackson's Best Album?

flydanman @flydanman (111) 25 Jun 09

Ann Coulter, Words to live by?

ZephyrSun @ZephyrSun (7381) • United States 25 Jun 09

flydanman I agree with that, you can't help but be touched by the lyrics and Martina's voice makes it a great song. That's one of the things I love about country music, all of the songs have a meaning and a story to tell.

When potty training would you use pull ups?

flydanman @flydanman (111) 24 Jun 09

This always seems to be a contentious issue for parents. I've come across many parents that say they will never use pull ups because the kids just think that it's a diaper and they use it as such. Plus they're expensive when...

flydanman Thank you for that really thorough and insightful comment! I think you confirmed my thinking on the subject that each child is different and different methods are often required. It seems as though your kids (well, your son in particular and boys apparently...

Do you think the Stimulus Plan is working?

flydanman @flydanman (111) 24 Jun 09

It has come out recently through a report by Tom Coburn that a lot of money from the stimulus plan is being squandered on what seem like pet-projects. Obama told us that if we passed the stimulus plan then unemployment wouldn't go...

flydanman I agree with your conclusions, foursox. The Stimulus bill is riddled with projects like the turtle tunnel in Florida costing $3.4 million that you mentioned. It creates no long-term employment and it generates no revenue once complete. We may as well be paying...
