Are you going to thank me?

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 8 Jul 12

My husband tells me that one of his biggest pet peeves is when he opens the door for a lady, and she walks through without saying, "Thank you." He always opens the doors for me and other ladies when the opportunity arises. I...

What is the polite thing to do?

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 8 Jul 12

A man and woman who do not know each other are both on their way into the coffee shop one morning. The man politely holds the door open for the woman, and she heads inside. I heard on the radio a couple days ago that the polite...

Bad Day?

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 14 Mar 12

This morning, I woke up with a headache. I'm not prone to feeling like this, so it was a little annoying, but I went to work anyway because I knew it would probably go away...and I don't think a typical headache is a reason to...

Take the time...

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 1 Feb 12

In this day and age, it's so easy to get caught up in our careers, obligations, and responsibilities. Most of us are going, going, going all day, 24/7. However, I just want to encourage you to take the time to appreciate the...

My job? A constant and daily attempt to clean off my desk!

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 13 Dec 11

Yes, that’s what I do for a living - I keep my desk clean (lol). Seriously though, at work I’m the receptionist (among other things), and my desk is the first thing you would see if you walked through the front door. Come on,...

Something to say...

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 11 Dec 11

We all have those days when it seems like we've got so much to say to get it off our chest. Maybe it's at a time when it seems like no one else will listen or when no one else understands. I would like to invite you to share it...

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 6 Dec 11

I realize that not all situations in life have an easy solution, happy ending, etc. However, there is a situation with a coworker of mine that I'd be pretty frustrated with if I were her. I just have to share so I can get your...

Just another day in paradise...

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 11 Oct 11

I'm going to admit my ignorance here! I guess I should probably listen to the song named after this saying, but what does, "Just another day in paradise" really mean? When you think of "paradise," what does that mean to you? What...

I'm bored...

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 8 Aug 11

In your opinion, does boredom constitute laziness, lack of activity, or both? When a child says, "I'm bored," it more than likely means they don't have another activity to occupy their mind. For an adult, maybe it's monotony. What...

Drawn to the Drama

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 8 Aug 11

Do you believe that we are in some ways drawn to drama? I would like to think that I am not a dramatic person. I try to avoid drama in my life if at all possible. While it seems like there's always drama around me, I choose not to...

Coupons & Savings

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 27 Feb 11

I try to save as much money as possible on regular basis, however, I have not been one to clip and save using coupons. I've heard how much my family members and friends save by using them. I only use coupons if it's convenient,...

I have to get something off my chest today… My aunt, my mom’s only sibling, has had MS (multiple sclerosis) for several years. I don’t believe it is the hereditary kind because she had a rather abusive marriage when she was...
