amorlife1 @amorlife1 (370) • South Africa 22 May 10

My husband and I have been together for 6 years, married for less than a month. Right now, I feel I'm more in love with him than I have been in any of the previous 6 years. And It's not just because we just got married. We have...

Annmac I was with my late husband over 40 years (married 38) and was very happy. I think the fact that we were already friends before we even started dating made a great deal of difference and I found out before I married just what he expected from me and his views...

Annmac I think it depends on the couple! Why they married and how well they really knew each other before marriage. I was actually closer to and loved my husband the longer we were married and we were married 38+ years. (Death parted us) We argued less because we...

Annmac This has got to be one of the most frustrating and heartbreaking illnesses. I see it a lot in the early stages, as I'm a community care-worker. There comes a time when the best place for these people is in a nursing home, they need supervision as they can get...

kunizzul @kunizzul (1066) • Malaysia 3 Oct 09

If I have a lot of money the I would be very happy. But is it true that lots of money will guarantee that I will have all the happiness. Some people said if we do not have lots of money then its hard for us to have the happiness...

Annmac I could be a millionaire but at this time I'd still be a very unhappy person. Having a lot or a little money would not alter how I feel about my life. It couldn't even make my suffering easier or harder to bear. Money cannot give you health, it cannot ease...

Is money important in life?

velentina @velentina (891) • Mauritius 30 Sep 09

Annmac I don't believe that everyone wants to become rich or earn a lot of money. Why? Because I myself don't. I don't think being rich would make me any happier than I am now. I could earn a lot more money than I do just by increasing the hours I work. Yes we...

Annmac You don't need to drink red wine to get the anti-oxidants, just eat red or black grapes or drink red grape juice. The anti-oxidents come from the darker skinned grapes but can be found in many other foodstuffs. With the advantage they contain other essential...

Annmac No I'm an Omnivore! I eat what I want, when I want, and over a short period it's 'moderation' all the way! Perhaps that's why I've been the same weight (except for three pregnancies) for the last 40+ years! For my age I'm in fairly good health too! I see...

Annmac I'd like to think that she was more shocked than insulted. Nowadays it doesn't happen often lol. If she was insulted then I feel sorry for her! She must have a very low opinion of men or no knowledge of 'good manners'. There's nothing chauvinistic about...

Annmac Her daughter may write with her right hand but she's STILL left-handed. Left alone she'd automatically find it easier to use her left hand. Even as a baby we favour one hand above the other. I don't know where you are from but it surprises me that anyone...
