Do you put off until tomorrow what you can do today?

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 30 Aug 11

I went to school in the 1940's and 1950's and I still remember first hearing that old saying, 'procrastination is the thief of time'. It is only in recent years that the truth of that statement has really hit me. I've been a...

stellar126 I'm guilty of this. I've been doing this since I started studying and continue to do it from time to time. It's hard to stop to be honest. And every time I find myself in a bind because I put off doing something, I tell myself the same thing over and over,...

Twilight Book Series, tale of Romeo and Juliet or Demonic Chanelling/Possession

EvanHunter @EvanHunter (4026) • United States 6 Jul 11

Ok so lets say we skip all the masonic/religious symbolism on the art cover of Stephanie Meyers books since she says it wasn't her choice and get down to how she came up with the books and the character names. She has said in...

stellar126 I don't think Stephanie Meyer is intelligent enough to be able to weave all these occult symbolism that you presented here. In my opinion, the only thing she's capable of is bad literature. These books are simply just terrible.

stellar126 I would love to go back to school. Now that I think about it, I never really realized how much I had it made while I was still studying! Also, I would prefer the idea of really going back into school instead of just taking an online course. There is...

Stories that take you away

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 5 Jul 11

I love stories that get me so involved that I escape into them. Barbara Delinsky,s books do this for me. In fact I never start one unless I know I will be able to spend the time necessary to read it. I just can 't put them down....

stellar126 I'm a very avid reader, and I have a lot of books. My idea of a perfect afternoon would be me sitting in a chair in a sun-dappled room, sipping tea, with a really thick book to keep me company. I read anything and everything. I started with old Reader's...

stellar126 The company I work for is pretty lenient with our dress code. As long as people still look presentable, it's ok. The only time we're asked to dress up is during important client visits. As for me though, I like it that I have the freedom to choose how I'd...

stellar126 You are so right! To be honest, I never bothered watching that movie for several reasons. First, I think it's just jumping on the bandwagon and hype that is facebook. Second, there is no redeeming qualities in the protagonists in the film. Whenever I watch a...

Why bother to tip the waiter?

asiamooner @asiamooner (418) • Philippines 5 Mar 11

Waiters' tips have been a tradition, that you have to give them their due, for their PR, and prompt service. But, would that include all types of waiters? Like, Mr. "Hi-there-don't-forget-my-10%...

stellar126 The custom of tipping depends on every country. In the US, tipping is the norm. You're expected to give at least 10-15% from your total bill, or you'd be viewed as a total cheapskate. In other countries, it's different. In Europe, tipping isn't something...

stellar126 I think packing lunch really depends on your priorities. If you're after convenience, and you need more time to do the things you like, then it will make sense for you to just buy it in the workplace. But if your priorities are different, say you're wanting to...

Fast Food meals

stellar126 The real danger of fast food is the convenience. People, especially very busy ones, who don't have time to cook anymore would undoubtedly choose ordering in instead of taking the time to prepare a healthy meal. That's the kind of thinking that I had before....

Are you and your spouse on the same page financially?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 28 Feb 11

I believe this is a common marital issue, and I hear that money is one of the main things couples fight about. So I'm curious as to how many couples are on the same page as far as their finances go. For the most part I do think...

stellar126 I think being on the same page financially is very important for couples. Difference in priorities and behaviours when it comes to spending money normally causes conflict and can lead to major marital issues. I'm very open with my fiance on my finances and...
