Been around a while -- jobs, business, politics, family, house, cars -- everything from Mr. Nobody to President of this and that. So by now I know the most important things in life aren't things; they're friends . . . like you?
My Yahoo account was recently hacked, a bogus email was sent; now some of my emails say "Yahoo Mail Services"?
instead of going out under my email address. How can I change things back to my own email posting?
1 AnswerOther - Yahoo Mail9 years agoIf a white citizen of Africa moved to the U.S., would he be an African-American?
A small but significant percentage of Africa's population consists of white settlers, especially in North African nations and in South Africa, where many Dutch settlers have lived for generations.
If you think they should not be considered African-Americans, then why not?
(Hey, it's something peripherally related . . . but not exactly. . . to get our mind off the election for a few hours!)
8 AnswersImmigration1 decade agoAre Mr. Clean Magic Eraser cleaning pads the best little invention since Velcro?
I discovered that they worked better than anything else for cleaning the shower. Then I was washing the car the other week and decided to try them on some of the antique bugs stuck, some of whom had been dead on the front of the car for years! And wouldyabelieve they wiped right off!
If that isn't amazing enough, the next time I was in the market I noticed that they've added a "heavy duty" version. Probably take the paint off the car!
14 AnswersOther - Home & Garden1 decade agoIs Sierra Mist the worst thing that can happen in a restaurant that serves only Pepsi products?
I like 7-UP or Sprite, but places that sell Pepsi products have only Sierra Mist to offer in a lemon-lime drink. UGH!
(Well, yes, I know Mountain Dew could also happen . . . which would indeed be worse since it tastes like it looks!)
7 AnswersNon-Alcoholic Drinks1 decade agoI'm 100% against dogfighting, but what is the difference between Michael Vick torturing dogs?
and Bush/Cheney ordering the torture of human beings, most of whom were guilty of nothing more than perhaps fighting against an invading force from thousands of miles away . . . especially since dogs were often used as part of the torture?
16 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoDoes the U.S. attempt (since halted by the Iraqis) to build walls around Baghdad neighborhoods?
prove conclusively that the Bush administration is the most incompetent group to lead any nation in the history of the world?
7 AnswersPolitics1 decade ago"Get Any Closer And I'll Flip a Booger Your Way," the famous bumper sticker.?
Was this an early version of what we today call "Road Rage." And have you ever seen anyone actually carry out the threat?
3 AnswersOther - Cars & Transportation1 decade ago"We'll even add the cream & sugar for you" say the new McDonald's coffee commercials.?
Don't you think that's the stupidest commercial you've ever heard? I'm an easy customer, but only I know how much cream and sugar I want in a particular cup of coffee. Nothing against McDonald's people -- I wouldn't want the head chef of a gourmet restaurant deciding how much cream and sugar to put in my coffee either!
15 AnswersFast Food1 decade ago"No more wine and women; sing all the songs you want": Doctor telling patient in a cartoon over my desk.
Do you think that's good medical advice? I hope not!
4 AnswersOther - General Health Care1 decade agoWhy do we believe the words of my favorite Christmas song, "The Secret of Christmas,"?
when it says, "the secret of Christmas, is not the things you do at Christmas time, but the Christmas things you do, all year through."?
2 AnswersChristmas1 decade agoIf you win a $1 Million Lottery by playing the citation number of your traffic ticket,?
is that God's way of saying that every cloud has a silver lining . . . or just a coincidence?
5 AnswersGambling1 decade agoGirl wearing a nightshirt to just above her knees enters a bar. A sign says "NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO SERVICE."
After a few minutes, someone notices that she is wearing NO PANTS and she is thrown out. Is this fair or should the bar have to change its sign?
19 AnswersEtiquette1 decade agoDo we purposely tune out events that kill huge numbers of far off people?
Hearing that U.S. population increased 50% since 1967 and that world population has nearly doubled in 60 years, do we sometimes think that it's not so bad that millions are killed in Darfur, that "ethnic cleansing" goes on, that abortions take place . . . as long as it doesn't affect us directly. Do we largely ignore these "Not In My Back Yard" events because we subconsciously worry about overpopulation? Ever think about that?
6 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoWaitress chewing gum drops out of her mouth while taking our order at the local diner.?
I thought I saw something drop onto her arm and said "I think you dropped something." She looked down, said "Oh, it's my gum," picked it off her arm and put it back in her mouth. My wife was appalled; I thought it was no big deal. How would you react?
