    What exercise have you done today?

    They are easy to make. You don't need to buy one. I made one like in the photo for ~ $33. Here's the Youtube video <-- with instructions.

    How do you find out if someone is married?

    You could look it up on a website; for example this one. <-- However, that website like others is only a rough approximation, and is generaly quite inaccurate. The best way to find out is by talking with him.

    The "Rubik's Cube" speed demons

    I could solve the cube in less than a minute just a few years ago, with a low around 43 seconds. That many young people can solve it now in less than 10 seconds is amazing.

    Help me decide about keeping land line phone or not

    I prefer having a wired connection, still use a land line for that reason and have never used a cell phone. Frontier (used to be Verizon) was charging $75 a month for the land line, and only 1 mgbt of internet each month. Thus I switched to Xfinity cable for internet as it was $10 a month (now...

    I’m having a tough time.

    If this was me I'd move back into my house, and learn to drive - which would also give me something to do. Then if I wanted to sell the house and get a smaller one or move somewhere else, I would go ahead and do it. Plus I'd definitely not give them my savings. The point for me is that I'd want...

However I didn't do that again. "I will absolutely, positively, never, in the chemistry laboratory, squirt my...

    Is there a safe chat site?

    This one is probably as safe as any of them. When you see a spammer, click below their post to report them, then hover over their name at the left, click ignore, and you won't see any more of their spam.
