monkeysay I don't eat my rice with cups. -_- I wonder where you are from? Most people, even asians, eat their rice meals in bowls, or plates.

The Neti Pot, health helper or weird contraption?

orchid23391 @orchid23391 (47) • United States 13 Sep 08

I saw this segment of Oprah where they were promoting the use of a Neti Pot. Apparently you use it to pour saltwater through your nose to promote health. Anyone have any opinions?

monkeysay I have heard Netipot, which is widely available in Wal-Mart, etc, is very good in curing flu. However, I have personally not tried it before.

Giving your two week notice

Virgie60 @Virgie60 (556) • United States 11 Sep 08

monkeysay Yes it is common sense and basic courtesy to inform your boss when you're going to quit. So that they can find a replacement for your job in time so that business and operation does not get affected. Wasn't there a contract? I think that in most employment...

monkeysay The Sept 11 tragedy is not celebrated. It is remembered, and allows the American people to understand that terrorism and violence is not to be condoned. To me, an outsider, I will never know what the Sept 11 tragedy truly is to the people of the US,...

monkeysay I think $1 is not an unreasonable sum for a post with true quality. I have a pet peeve here despite all the good stuff here in Mylot - that is, earnings and ratings are not manually given. I know that it is impossible for the Mylot administrators to...

Bebs08 @Bebs08 (10681) • United States 11 Sep 08

monkeysay Nope here in my country Halloween isn't big at all. I'm sure everything has heard of it before, but to us it really belongs more to the West. I think some of us here don't even know when Halloween is! However here we have a traditional Chinese festival...

Do you usually take advantage of "buy one get one free"?

sharie16 @sharie16 (2212) • Philippines 11 Sep 08

monkeysay I will get the product if I already have plans to get it...just sooner. My take on this is that if you don't like the product, you probably won't like it no matter how many copies of it you may have. However, if you like the product, and it's "buy one get...

sivanj @sivanj (1263) • India 11 Sep 08

monkeysay I have known mine for close to 4 years now. I don't really think the length matters much; I mean it does matter as only with time we can understand each other more, but sometimes the quality matters more than quantity. I had lots of fun with my best friend,...

What is the logic behind giving father's name as surname??

sandhyababu @sandhyababu (46) • India 11 Sep 08

we know that we put father's name as surname.what u think the reason is? Will u agree if someone puts mother's name as surname????

2 responses

monkeysay Well in traditional societies, men are often valued much higher than women. Women are seen as objects, they are objectified. This is why, a girl belongs to his father when he is young, and when the girls grows up to become a woman, she is then passed on to...
