| I have those still once in a while. Golly, it really gets me mad when I have them. I tend to get them when I am on the road going back home, or getting back home by walking or biking, etc. don't really understand why. Few years back I would pick them up when my body gets a strange feeling, like a st... |

| I have to understand that others are giving me a chance and I have to take the chance. But then I understand I feel better when I take it. If I don't then I regret it for a long time. All because of the word "no". I took a few chances at things and I came out okay with it. But after a few years of s... |

| Did you mean "a familiar path" or "a similar path?" I suppose I meant similar, maybe my brain needs a gym too. "Mens sana in corpore sana." We all need exercise for both body and mind! Last year I was working out regularly (every to every other day) in a smaller gym and when the New Year's Resoluti... |

| Allllll the time. I can't deal with being in trouble at all, I immediately start feeling guilty and terrified of doing anything wrong. I'm always on edge when I'm doing something that affects other people- I try to hide what I'm doing so that if I made a mistake no one will know it's me. Also, I wi... |

| Well socializing is a toughie to initiate, but when placed in one I am not so bad. It is when I have to deal with a more harder situation that may require some confilct that can hold back. I just show frustration in my mind. It isn't like when I was in school and I just walked away and showed sadnes... |

| When I was a child I couldn't cope with being yelled at and it caused me to get into tears. This also created a lot of anxiety and some insecurity when it came to taking a risk or guessing questions or etc. It didn't have to be yelling but a stern or serious instruction, but for some reason it felt ... |

| Hi it's my time back in a while. So after a long time I decided to go back to the gym and return to getting in shape. I haven't worked out for a long time (almost 8 years) so I knew I needed to make a return. I am in my late 20s but still I am gonna start seeing a slow down in metabolism too fast an... |

Wrestling is a mixed bag at times for me when it comes to watching. Right now the WWE isn't my thing unlike let's say the early 2000s.
Problem here is that the west coast doesn't get much wrestling shows other than the WWE nowadays. ROH is back east, TNA is in Nashville I think. |

| It's interesting how they select passengers. But from what I have heard on some sites, there are crew in and around the city in vicinity of the cab, and the crew asks if someone would like to be on TV and if they answer yes, the cab will get a message to pick up the potential fare right on the spot. |

| Yep, watch it and LOVE it. It's just such an unusual concept -- game show in a cab -- and it beats all of the reality show crap that the TV industry has been putting out lately. Kris It's better than most new game shows out there, those over-hyped concepts and outlandish sets can't beat a show base... |

| I like watching it, I even DVR the program on the Discovery Channel everyday. I like the concept of having to hitch a cab knowing I don't have to pay the fare as long as I correctly answer trivia knowledge questions. Of course it stinks if I get 3 wrong and have to leave the cab, but at least I stil... |

But then I moved from the metro myself. Large sodas are a quarter more than mediums but at least it comes with a... |

| I've been to a film a couple times by myself. It doesn't bother me much since I kind of filter out everyone I'm with anyways. I should still plan on going again myself. I could care less what others around me think. |
