johnsobr31 Many US presidents have been left handed, including President Obama. It is common among those who are natural leaders. I have three children who are left handed, so I think it is wonderful to be left handed.

Have you ever regretted something you said?

santosmarichris @santosmarichris (1849) • Philippines 26 Apr 11

Most of the times I don't cause I usually say what I really feel and lately I'm trying to control what is better left unsaid. Because that will keep me out of trouble. I just try not to get into the drama or create a drama myself....

johnsobr31 I am constantly surprised at the things that come out of my mouth! Usually I make it my goal to say as little as possible. Often, I come across as abrasive or sarcastic. There are so many things that are unnecessary to say, and I am trying to learn to enjoy...

What's Most Important in Any Job, -Is it Really Money that Matters?

albert911 @albert911 (168) • Thailand 26 Apr 11

Are you honest enough to admit it? Do you think it's the fun of doing a job, having a good time, more the social, daily interaction that make and keep you happy? Some people say that with money you can buy almost everything (even...

johnsobr31 I have done many jobs in which I was absolutely miserable, just to make ends meet. I would much rather have in job in which I am happy and fulfilled, but making less money, than a high paying job that is miserable. That's what I am doing now, and this time in...

johnsobr31 I agree. I think that facebook has distorted the meaning of the word "friend". I wonder if it is preventing a generation of young people from understanding what friendship really means. It also does blur the lines of who it is appropriate to share personal...

when I was younger, I went to the movies with my grandmother. She was still quite young then but she was getting to the point of "old age" I guess you could say. Before we went into the movie, she told me we should stop at the...

johnsobr31 I think it is very important to care for those older than us. When I was younger, I didn't want to slow down and think of others. Now I realize that older people have raised families and fought wars and been through difficult things and we should respect them....

Keeping pet from jumping on things?

Dominique25 @Dominique25 (9460) • United States 1 Apr 11

How do you keep your cat or dog from jumping or climbing on things. I love my cat so much but he can be difficult. What do you do to keep your pets off items or furniture you don't want them on. My cat likes to jump on tables...

Does anyone have Dobermans?? Is anyone afraid of Dobermans??

stary1 @stary1 (6611) • United States 20 Apr 11

I used to think Dobermans were the meanest, most unfriendly dogs out there. I would only see them in the movies as snarling guard dogs and they didn't look approachable at all!! When our German Shepherd died, our Vet told us...

johnsobr31 I think it is a shame that parental rights are being taken away. Yes, kids need to eat nutritious meals, but ultimately, parents have a right to make these decisions. If parents send junk food for their kids to eat, I'm sorry, it's none of your business. If...
