Betty740 I"m sorry about your Father, just love him for what he is your Father. I don't know any way to get them to stop drinking. I had a Brother-in-law that was that way, he ruined his health and finally stopped drinking for a while but if he ever got a taste of it...

Betty740 we haven't had snow in our part of the world, I mean real snow in several years, it flurries sometimes and is real pretty for a little while then it melted off. I guess I don't really miss the snow very much, I had enough of it when I was younger and driving...

Betty740 Yes I have done the same thing, I guess everyone has, it looks hard, so we wait for someone else to do it for us. We all under estimate our abilities. I think that is what is wrong with our elected leaders they are just waiting for someone else to do it. But I...

Betty740 I think the best that that I'm proud of is to be an American; That is one thing that is the important to me. It seems that everyone wants to be one, by the way they slip in or come on Visa and never go back. We should all guard our citizenship and be always an...

winterose @winterose (39887) • Canada 24 Mar 08

Betty740 I pay the bills sometimes, I just don't think much about it. I guess I was in business for so long that I did a lot of it then. I don't think men feel as macho as they used too. Maybe they have just learned that they don't have to be to be accepted by women.

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 3 Mar 08

Have you ever been driving in your car or walking down the sidewalk and had a homeless person ask you for change? Are you liable to think to yourself "get a job"? Or do you fish in your pockets to give them any loose change you...

Betty740 Yes I have been approached, usually they came into my office, before I retired I was in business 25 years and I really felt sorry for the people, we were in a small county, I know it took a lot of guts to ask for something to eat. I usually sent them across...

Betty740 I always sit there and silently complain. I jsut hate it when they talk and talk and say nothing. I know you like your friend and and wish to honor her but I bet she was tired by the time it was over. I just say give me a money reward and skip the talk,

The rejection line that hurts the most.

HerHippieIam @HerHippieIam (62) • United States 29 Feb 08

When we ask someone out on a date there should only be two possible answers Yes or No. Sadly too often it isn't always a simple No when it is no. Often we get far too complex answers that hurt way more than a simple no. I don't...
