Bought a new digital camera after 4 long years

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 2 Aug 12

It's been a while since we had a digital camera to use for our trips. Since, then, we've only been using my camera phone to take pictures. But, the phone is only 8MP, and the picture quality is not very good on prints....

thrwbckjay67 That's awesome! My wife and I waited forever to purchase one; we just got it back in June. We got tired of having to use our cell phones for pictures, too; it was just too difficult to take pics. This new camera that we just got has a screen facing the...

My friend is earning so much money

jaderamirez @jaderamirez (1029) • Philippines 28 Jul 12

My friend is earning so much money by doing two jobs. The first one is by teaching part time and the other one is by being a full time teacher on half day only. By doing this he earns double. I just advised him to take a rest for...

thrwbckjay67 It is definitely a delicate balance between working two jobs and getting your needed rest. I used to do it regularly, and am currently looking for a second job to supplement my family's income. One one hand I have learned to take the time off and use it to my...

911Ricki @911Ricki (13588) • Canada 21 Jul 12

I can see jobs such as police officer, firefighters and so on. My friend works at a lab, not a big lab just testing products for companies. She was telling me the hassle of having to get a physical before getting the job and every...

thrwbckjay67 Nowadays I am not too surprised this happens, for a number of reasons. One, a company does want to know that their employees are going to be healthy if they are going to invest in them for a job. This means giving them training, salary, benefits, etc. Some...

Midnight Showing of Dark Knight... Anyone else?

thrwbckjay67 @thrwbckjay67 (2870) • United States 19 Jul 12

So I am getting ready to leave for the midnight showing of Dark Knight at our local theater; it is all sold out so I am leaving 4 hours early just in case. If it's not too busy I will probably end up getting a bite to eat with the...

Do you ever feel like you will never get your money's worth out of a movie?

sedel1027 @sedel1027 (17846) • Cupertino, California 18 Jul 12

I used to enjoy seeing movies at home, at the theater, ect. However the last few years I feel that movies just are not as good as they used to be. Even if I see a movie for free, I feel like I should be doing something else with...

Kobe Says 2012 U.S. Olympic Team could beat the Dream Team: Could they?

thrwbckjay67 @thrwbckjay67 (2870) • United States 12 Jul 12

This is such a tough one. I watched the Dream Team live in 1992 destroy teams in the Olympics, and I am a kid of that era so those players were just larger than life to me. To me there could be no team like that to me......

Best Point Guard in the NBA? Most Underrated?

thrwbckjay67 @thrwbckjay67 (2870) • United States 12 Jul 12

These are definitely two different discussions, but it definitely interesting to see how they tie into one another, so we'll combine them for this discussion ;-). Who is the top point guard in the NBA? I guess this is not going...

Should the NBA teams be making such drastic trades.

miglee @miglee (3) • Canada 11 Jul 12

thrwbckjay67 The way that the league is moving, yes it is necessary for these players to make what you are referring to as "drastic" movements. Quite frankly it is about building teams and playing with players that will get you to where you want to be. Ask Steve Nash if he...

Who do you think is the best player in the NBA now and all time??

miglee @miglee (3) • Canada 11 Jul 12

personally I Think right now in the NBA the best player is hands down Lebron James. He can shoot has great handling and can truck through people in the paint. Oh and unlike Kobe he can pass. Of course the the best all time would...

thrwbckjay67 Yeah, I'm gonna have to also agree with you on this one, and it's not even as close as some might suggest. There are others (Durant, Rose, Kobe) but they are just that far down the list. LeBron James has the talent to be amongst the top 5 to ever play this...

Health experts recommend to reduce the consumption of fast food every day. Studies have shown that fast food can cause obesity and increase risk of diabetes.

thrwbckjay67 Like someone else said, the idea of "fast food" is something that is so broad that it's hard to clump it together into one idea, like causing diabetes or be a factor in obesity. In general terms any kind of overeating, even if it is with so-called "healthy"...

Public transportation

Porcospino @Porcospino (31385) • Denmark 6 Jul 12

thrwbckjay67 I have to agree with you in terms of being an upgrade for the New York Knicks; you get a point guard that will be more of a facilitator on the floor and set up Stoudemire and Anthony while at the same time not giving up as many turnovers in the offense. You...

Anyone know any genuinely scary games?

Patrick G. @YinYang1st (55) • San Leandro, California 5 Jul 12

thrwbckjay67 Try Dead Space 1 & 2; they are both pretty good at being "scary'games. I don't really like playing those kinds of games, but Dead Space is one of the better games in terms of scare factor. Older games were probably better than now. There were games like the...
