Everyone is selfish, to some extent. We have a survival instinct. There's nothing wrong with that. It would not be healthy if we didn't have it.
The instinct to have children, which many have, is to do with the surviv…

I don't see how. Even getting a list of books with "most individual journal entries" won't tell you whether or not they've actually been *read*!This is true. It's not like a site specifically…

I find it by far the easiest to read, because it has fewest distracting bits, the letters have even thickness, and are angled so you can tell them apart easily. If I had my way, everything would be in Comic Sans! :-)

I don't love him or hate him. He's a guy who's found a niche for himself, and is doing well for himself, and having a positive impact on awareness of food and health. He is not particularly good looking, and yes, he is c…

What I don't like about him is that he's got a lisp ( a strong one) and it bothers me and it makes him harder to understand.I'm curious what you mean by that - how you describe his lisp. He i…

The majority of sellers are quick to replace something if it is faulty. This happened to me just the other day, when I bought headphones that were so flimsy they broke when I started to use them. The seller replaced them…
