@cherokeepatti Better late than never. 5 years ago, I knew nothing and now I have a basic understanding about how they work if not everything.

These people are leeches. They suck the life out of everything.

@Beatbox34 demonic parasites, seriously think they are empty vessels that have been possessed by demons. They are constantly trying to stir up trouble for others.

Beatbox34 · 31-35, M

@cherokeepatti Indeed they are empty holes who just want to suck the souls of the people they meet.

They want to be the centre of attention and will do anything to stay on the pedestal.

@Nanori all breathing is overrated

Nanori · F

@SW-User unless you're as talkative as me and don't wanna pass out in the midst of gossiping about your neighbors

@Nanori true, it stimulates the vagus nerve (deep and slow breathing)

One that you can rely on to make money if everything else fails

Annii

@SW-User side gigs saved me and my family when I transferred for work - I didn’t get paid for 7 weeks from my “professional job”!

SW-User

@Annii see? If you want a skill,you want a useful one. Why not?

Beatbox34 · 31-35, M

I'd say how to spend wisely and the importance of money as to what's "necessary".

How to not drive like an asshat

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@travelguy01 Such as waving your middle finger around is no substitute for using a turn signal.

travelguy01 · 41-45, M

@cherokeepatti Precisely. And the “rookie driver” sticker doesn’t give you free reign to drive like you’re blind either. Learn the rules of the road, or get off the road!

Watch repair. You can't get through life without it.

@SW-User I could just take my watch to a repair shop, no?
