I don’t. When I ask that, it is to know if the person is really in good state or not. If not, I will be listening to whatever she would share about it.

I can empathize with people. I can also give advise should they want it.

I don’t actually say “how are you” to any person or friend. I choose to give them to people I truly know. With other people , I would just say a simple HI and smile.

If somebody who asks that question is not a close friend or relative, I will just answer, “I’m fine!” because I do not want to elaborate even if I am not fine. I should not tell them how I was doing because it is not proper to do so. But to ask such question is just alright.

I don’t believe in “super powers”. Rome was an empire. The British had an empire. I don’t believe in “super powers”. There is no real Superman. There are no real “super powers”.

LOL. It’s funny. People all around the world have the same problem. Internet addiction. We have to remind ourselves to do the same things that we used to do when there was no Internet. 🙂 😀 Read and/or listen to music and/or watch a movie. My husband has quote a CD and video collection.

It looks like a blessing in disguise when there is no internet or no electrical supply. We can focus on other works at home that needs to be done, or can go outside and savor the cool air.

Every time our internet got disconnected, like others do, I go on and do household chores. If I’m done with it, I look for something to cook for snack.

There are lots of things we could do whenever internet is not working. As others do, go for a walk, read books, meet with friends, or have a bonding with family members through watching and playing sports like volleyball or basketball.

When I don’t have internet, I usually listen to music in my phone. Sometimes I watch downloaded movies in my laptop. I even watched downloaded videos. I create blog topics. I wash the dishes, I take a bath, pamper myself or I will just sleep. Sometimes i go to my sister’s house, visit and take care of my nephew.

For sure if the internet come back I will be very busy so I make the most out of it.

i have to say its really godo helpful ideas but alot can be added like go and cook, i like cooking, visit families, the elders i mean, help those who need help even if they strangers and get in touch with you by doing what you like

Let us always pity the drivers and extend our helping hands like passing the fare in h has no conductor,

The least that we can do when we touched those kind of hands is not to mind at all and don’t make any facial expression that may show disgust.

Why would we be disgusted, when rough hands shows that the person is an industrious and hard working one. He got those from constant working in the case of the driver from constantly steering the wheels of his car and sometimes helping carry some baggages of passengers into his car.

Let us help those people be dignified in their work, by not minding at all that their hands are rough, when we receive our fares.

Well, my hand are also a bit dry. That’s because I am fond of washing my hand every now and then, even if I am always working on my computer.

It means I am a hard worker too. 🙂

@Dina, there are hypocrites,pretentious feeling they are rich and feeling the person as dirty.That is why I do not consider students’ excuses just to let them pass for that driver has son in college that is why he said he works evening and day.
