I don't mind the F-word or a few other swear words once in a while, heck, I say it myself, but I don't say it every other word, or in casual conversation. I prefer clean language when I'm talking casually, seriously, or...

Maxine1renee Ah, you are very fortunate indeed to have a supportive boss & does not have any hidden agenda for being kind. Mostly, the boss I have is super professionally stiff that you can't even smile at him for fear that he might stare hard at you. Others failed to be a...

Maxine1renee I am using the same shampoo as long as I can remember. Guilty. I have my hair done/cut/trim monthly in the salon and if I want to put some henna i spent around QR500 (US$138). My long hair is not dry. I am vain and spending for hair is no big deal.

Being asked someone's age

leasmom @leasmom (101) • Austria 28 Jul 11
