well a digital watch has the advantage that you can set the alarm on it......and a light, but I guess analogue watches sometimes have lights as well.

a Death Note book might actually be useful, if people would give their cancerous lumps names....
you could get Shinigami eyes and see their name just by looking at their face, but you have to give up half of your remaining lifespan.
I don't wear a watch as I gave the last one I bought to a charity shop. I find it annoying to have something wrapped around my wrist.

I tried to google living without protein, but there wasn't much information.......you body will start to cannibalise your muscles, to get new amino acids, so gradually you would lose all your muscle, and eventually you would die, I guess....probably micro nutrients are less important?

I was so happy when I had my first pager, then cellphone, because I hate watches. I don't like to wear jewelry or watches, it bothers me and I can feel it on my skin the whole time. I spent the first half of my life asking people what time it was.

do you feel trapped Danielle?
I sort of feel trapped....that's why I have been doing the lottery........I just want to live underground in a big whitewalled cellar with a wooden floor, and a fake-leather settee.....I dunno....it's my lame fantasy...and a small gym in the cellar....maybe get fit, lose weight.

Why do people ask how you are, if they expect "good, how are you?" it seems so meaningless to ask if you don't even care.

I just say 'I'm not too bad'...with the emphasis on BAAAD....ie my life's ****, thank you very much for asking.
Is it really a bad thing to want attention?
Don't we all want some attention?
No one gives their companion animals a hard time if they want attention from us

Not a bad thing! It's human (and feline, canine etc) nature. Being "seen" (recognized) by others is necessary to build self confidence and such, I think. We all need it, but we pretend that we don't, I suppose because we find it embarrassing to admit that we need anything from others.Is it really a bad thing to want attention?

Omg, I totally need attention. I think it matters on what we do to try and get it though. I usually bake a yummy vegan treat and bring it to work...that always works like a charm. [emoji12]
FB works, too...post a really cute pic or of an animal...cat, dog, rat, deer, turkey, whatever. Or kid or yummy food. The only downside is if you think something is cool and you hardly get any likes or comments, it can be very depressing, hahaha.
I check FB and VV a hundred times a day. If it happens that a post of mine is being ignored or overlooked, I usually sulk and say in my mind (or even out loud), "what the heck, people, you suck!" Lol lol lol
Good thing is I get over it quick. [emoji12]

Question...
I'm a pray-er. Is it offensive to non-believers, if something is going wrong in their life, to say you will pray for them? Sometimes you don't know a person's belief system or lack thereof.
Do I have to just always say I'm sending good wishes and not say I'll pray for them?
I have close friends who are non-believers and I don't mind when they do their thing for me, like burning incense or sending healing light, etc. I don't see why someone doing something like praying, chanting, sending healing vibes would be an issue for anyone. I'm happy to get any of that from someone (must be the attention thing).
So, I'm just curious. Going to pray for you, regardless, but I just won't tell you in case it's politically incorrect or something. Haha. [emoji12]

It's not offensive to me! And I suspect in general Europeans are slightly less sensitive about it, but in the US there appears to be a bit of a culture war at the moment, so in general people there are slightly more sensitive about this issue. It's just silly. "Merry Christmas", "I'll pray for you" etc are just ways of saying the person is wishing you well.
To me, it seems the extent to which the culture war is taking up progressive / liberal / socialist people's attention is an annoying distraction from more important issues like distribution of wealth, environment degradation and foreign policy. Not to say everything in the culture war is silly. Of course it's a great victory that gay couples can get married, be openly gay in the military, that children should not be taught creationism is public schools and so on. But let's not get carried away. "I'll pray for you" is not ****** offensive.

Not at all to me.
I read a while back that there have been attempts to scientifically test the power of prayer.Maybe it's just the people I know or maybe it's because I live in a big city but I don't care what religious views people have, or if they don't have any. I would never even ask that question if I met someone new, or care what the answer was.
Unless it was something like scientology and then I would probably judge them.
