purplelavander I know what you are worrying about, but I don't think there can be a definite answer. If not get addicted, any age is OK.

purplelavander I've no idea if it goes like this, you know, everyone has his own private life, and everyone wants some time to let themselves alone. Friends' chatings and invitations indeed are something good, however, if this kind of things frustrated you a lot, maybe that...

purplelavander If you have trouble in using the laptop and do not like to close the blinds, you may turn your desk around, and then you can sit back to the window, in this way you won't see them, and perhaps won't be distracted. Good luck!

Do you read responses before you respond?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28717) • United States 21 Jul 08

Sometimes it just annoys the heck out of me when I post a discussion and all the responses are the same advice. Someone will offer advice and I'll comment and say "Oh, I can't do that because..." and then all the responses after...

purplelavander Yes, I would read the responses before I respond, but not all of them, I usually only read the first page, and will read more if I am in a dilemma with the response.

purplelavander Sometimes I do, but it's not very convenient for me to heat the lunch. So I seldom bring packed lunch. But it's really cheaper, more tasty and more healthy than eating out. Fortunately, the food in our college canteen isn't too much expensive, so it won't cost...

purplelavander From the aspect of courtesy, it's rude to stare at somebody not familiar indeed. However, I think you needn't mind such a thing, and what's more, shouldn't be angry about it. Keep an open mind, think from the good aspects. Maybe, they looked at your husband...
