markdykeman It's hard for me to imagine my life without Internet. It's become an indispensible source for information and entertainment. It would suck.

Do you sing in the car?

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 10 Mar 08

If you do, do you get right into it? I love singing in the car. Especially if I'm on my own and there's no one looking at me. It's so much fun to feel the breeze in your hair and let it all out! For some reason singing in the car...

Do You Start Or Respond to Discussions?

lpetges @lpetges (3036) • United States 3 Jul 07

I respond more, i think you do not get paid for the discussion as much as responding.

markdykeman I have probably responded to three times as many discussions as I have started. I really, really don't know how the payment system works though. I think it's that you get $0.01 for responding to someone else's discussion and $0.06 every time someone responds...

kamran12 @kamran12 (5526) • Pakistan 2 Jul 07

markdykeman We're all right handed for everything that we do. I have tried to train myself to write with my left hand and I can, but not very well.

Does this encourage Reading?

Fishmomma @Fishmomma (11629) • United States 3 Jul 07

My county fair has a program for children from kindergarten to eighth grade called "Read & Ride Program". Each student that reads a book gets 3 ride passes and can earn 6 ride passes by reading 2 books. Do you think this is a good...

markdykeman Wow, I think this is a great idea. Almost anything that encourages kids to read should be given a chance to work. I'm not aware of any programs like this where I live.

markdykeman The Shawshank Redemption is a wonderful story with great acting. The bond between Andy and Red is great. It's also very uplifting to see Andy escape and Red find him later.

markdykeman I think it's inevitable that Rowling will write more stories about the Potterverse, but I think an eighth book is unlikely. Maybe she might write about some of the lesser characters, or maybe she'll write a prequel series about the life of Dumbledore or...

markdykeman I played Everquest for about a year when it first came out. More recently I've been playing games like Gothador and Entropia Universe. I started playing Kingdom of Loathing again recently - it's probably my favorite.

markdykeman The only problem that I can see is the man will soon be a senior citizen and health problems tend to arise as a person gets older. This is natural, nothing wrong with it, but the woman needs to realise that her partner is going to go through life changes much...
