I hate mopping. We have an old tile floor, that is white, discolored, and scratched up. No matter what I do, it never looks clean. What is your worst household chore and why?

JanieJetz I'd rather do dishes over laundry! I dislike laundry because next comes ironing, and I don't like to iron either!!

OK, does anyone else find issues with the way foods are being packaged for convenience? On the one hand, yes, they are convenient, but on the other, why? I love yogurt and eat it almost every day for breakfast, but I refuse to...

I think many of us have aspirations to write a book based on our experiences and our imaginations. I've always wanted to but for some reason can't sit down and write much past an outline of what I'm interested in pursuing. I...

JanieJetz I like the idea of blocking out an hour and just writing. It might help me get through some writer's block and focus my ideas. They are so scattered right now because I'd love to write a fiction book, but draw a lot from my own personal experience so much...

I am a 30- something woman and don't have a very maternal instinct, and don't want to have children. It can be hard since many of my friends do have children, but the pressure I feel is imposed, and not from within. Why isn't is...

JanieJetz Thanks for your comments! Really makes me think. I have a friend who said she never wanted children (has been married 10 years) and accidentally got pregnant, and decided to keep it. She is due in about 3 weeks and is very nervous. I'm anxious for her, but...

JanieJetz I saw a great quote that went something like "if your dog is fat, then YOU need more exercise". I thought that was great, being that I have a dog, and I could stand to lose a few pounds! Really hit home.... and I am now taking my dog for longer walks than I...

JanieJetz I used to work in public health in Africa where no anti-retroviral therapy was offered for many years. When I saw what that does to communities, cities, and whole countries (South Africa for example), I realized that living in the U.S. is the best place to be...

JanieJetz I worry about telling people what they might have... diagnosing. Unless you are a doctor. Are you? Not trying to be rude but it just worries me....

JanieJetz Wow, that was more profound that I thought a comment would be to this discussion! I like it. Thanks for the idea! Now the biggest challenge for me is to figure out how to thread all these experiences into a comprehensive story if I want to write a novel....

I am single and I find that cooking often costs more than buying prepared food at the grocery store. Do you do the same? Buy the time I buy all the ingredients to cook a recipe, it costs more than buying a prepared dinner, and I...

JanieJetz You sound right to me. With a large family I imagine it would be very expensive to buy prepared food/dinners. For me it's not as hard on my bank account since I'm single, but I think your point about it tasting better is a good one. Taste vs....

JanieJetz I totally get what you are saying. When I buy prepared food, I try to buy organic as much as possible from health food sections at grocery stores. Even though organic is more expensive, I still feel it's not as expensive as cooking for one. Maybe it is...
