163Mandolingirl People with colds or Flu should stay at home! Flu at its worst can KILL! I caught the worst case of Flu that I have ever had, and then passed it on to my elderly, already sick Mum, when a colleague brought it to work at our DIY store! It nearly finished us...

Erase the word 'dad' and erase the notion of the traditional family unit?

PJMingins82 @PJMingins82 (28) 28 May 12

Is the NHS's decision to reprint pregnancy handbooks to remove the word 'dad' and replace it with 'partner' a much needed step in this multi-faceted society or does it undermine the notion of the traditional family unit? I feel...

163Mandolingirl Here we go again! Political correctness gone mad! What a sad world when the words 'Mother' and 'Father' or 'Mum' and 'Dad' are no longer used in society. Call me old-fashioned but I think it is important for these 'labels' to be retained so our children...

163Mandolingirl I am so sorry to hear that you have a difficult relationship with your mother. My Mum was my best friend. She passed in 2003 and I miss her beyond words! We too had moments where our relationship was a little strained but we did love each other and would never...

better to proofread in paper?

jeanneyvonne @jeanneyvonne (5501) • Philippines 19 Apr 12

I have been having difficulty in assignments lately because I am doing poorly in my proofreading. I think this is because I am lately proofreading on my computer monitor and maybe my eyes are really tired. so I switched to...

163Mandolingirl As an ex-professional proofreader, I can assure you that it is very hard to check your own work. The eye sees what it wants to see, and often your own mistakes are overlooked. Printing a copy is the only really effective way of checking work. You also need to...

I am a frustrated singer...Gosh!

163Mandolingirl I sing all the time at my folk club. It has helped me build up my confidence and has given me lots of new friends. Maybe you could try something like that to give you experience with singing in public. All the best! It is never too late for anything new!...

What funny things do your pets do?

NailTech @NailTech (6874) • United States 20 Mar 12

I like talking about my cats. I love dogs too so if you have one of them, please share or any other animals/pet. Some funny things my cat KC does is try to 'race' me in the liv room when I'm walking past her on the other side...

163Mandolingirl I don't have a cat but I do have an adorable but naughty Cockatiel called Seventy. He can say over 20 different phrases, his favourite being, 'Cup of tea!', whistles and bops to his favourite TV theme tunes of NCIS and Hawaii Five-O. He loves to have his head...

MeiliPyn @mauve02 (133) • Philippines 28 Jan 12

Does anyone here believe in ghost? are they really true? I don't know if I believe in them because I haven't seen one. I experience goose bumps but I don't know if this is because of ghost or not. Is there any proof that they...

163Mandolingirl I can assure you, as a Medium, that ghosts/spirits really exist. Most of them are just us after we have left our physical bodies but some are misty echoes of the past. These are the ones that seem to repeat actions they did in one of their Earth lives but...

Ghosts

bmuchler @bmuchler (441) • United States 4 Sep 09

Several months ago I bought an EVP recorder. I set it out at night to let it record. I've been afraid to listen to it. Has anyone tried this? Could you understand what was being said? What was said? I am very interested in EVP.

163Mandolingirl That is the last thing I need because as a clairaudient medium I hear ghosts/spirits all the time. All I have to do is open up, tune in and listen. You must be very careful when you are using any so-called paranormal devices as, like Ouija-boards, they...

Why Do We Get Conned?

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 21 Jan 12

Remember when I banged on about how wonderful our new Samsung LED backlit LCD 32" TV was a couple of months ago? Well, I've gone off it. Why? Because we've been conned, that's why. We've been conned into picking a 200 Hz...

Have you watched the science channel? If you get a chance watch the program that shows the earth without the oceans. It's just amazing, who would have ever guessed that all that was under the oceans. I am glad that I have lived as...

163Mandolingirl Yes, I have seen a similar programme. It is incredible what is actually under our watery planet! There are chasms deeper than The Grand Canyon, and huge volcanoes! I love all these documentaries as they help us to understand and love our beautiful and...

Let down by my own body

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11834) 20 Jan 12

I dislocated my ankle about two years ago, and it's never been right since. It was a stupid injury, falling off a kerb. I've been back to the physio a couple of times since (normally when it gets to hurting). Normally it's fine,...

Have you been extremely exhausted lately?

longbangod @longbangod (1785) • Philippines 14 Jan 12

Have you reach some point of your life wherein you feel that you are very tired? That's what I feel now. I'm so tired. Tired of everything. I feel drained. I want to rest, I need to rest. But I could not do it. There's a lot of...

163Mandolingirl I think we always feel tired here in the UK in the Winter. The lack of light, and therefore Vitamin D, makes us very sleepy when we should be up and at it! I feel as if I should be hibernating in a cave like a bear! Everything is just too much hard work at...

How many of your clothes do you actually wear?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 14 Jan 12

163Mandolingirl My rule is that if I haven't worn something in two years then I will never wear it. For one reason or another it was a bad purchase. I will then take it to one of our many charity shops. One person's trash is another's treasure!
