Our cat is gone...

chicgale @chicgale (2982) • Philippines 4 Apr 12

It's been 4 days now that our cat didn't come home. :-( We tried to look for her but could't find her. I don't know where she is now. We miss her so much even though she is a wild cat. :-(

Meryembay I agree with what others said here..maybe she had kittens somewhere in which case she will only bring them out when they can see- in two weeks time..if that's not the reason then she might just be wandering around and will come home again. Our cat, Lucky, once...

Meryembay In my humble opinion there is nothing wrong with having a baby at age 40 or even 45 but there is definitely a problem if you do not have a job. Babies are not little dolls that do not need to eat and drink and be clothed. Babies need all kinds of care and when...

Do you wear make-up daily?

chicgale @chicgale (2982) • Philippines 12 Mar 12

Do you wear make-up daily? If does, what do you usually wear? Everyday, I always use eyebrow pencil and a lipstick. I just don't like to go out without them.

Meryembay I do not use make-up since i believe it is just a mask and not the true you. Coloring your face in like a kid with a coloring book is just silly, in my honest opinion. Trying to look like you don't naturally is just hiding from yourself and shows how little...

Meryembay Here in Turkey nobody packs your grocery bags for you- you are given bags while they till up the stuff and you have to pack them yourself. I must admit, coming from a country where it was always done for me, it was irritating and sometimes frustrating to have...

Meryembay The reason for this is quite simple and obvious. People like their privacy. I do not use my real name on facebook or any such places since there is for one, too many hackers looking to get hold of your info so they can steal all you have. I make sure at all...

Meryembay In this country that I live in since 1999, we do not celebrate Easter at all as it does not exist in our religion. That said, in my own country, South Africa, I used to cook a nice meal, but first made some easter eggs and hid them all over for the boys to try...

Is Valentine's Day a big deal for you?

allamgirl @allamgirl (2140) • Philippines 4 Feb 11

I've never really liked Valentine's Day. My best friend teases me that it's just me being bitter that I don't have a boyfriend to celebrate it with. But this year, I have a boyfriend and I still don't want to make a big deal out...

Meryembay No, Valentine's day has never been special to me even though I do have a very loving and wonderful husband of twelve years already. In my humble opinion it is just another commercially enhanced day to ensure people spend their hard earned money on useless...

Meryembay It must be tough to have 3 disabled kids and as much as one love your kids I do think it advisable that you make an effort to have more "me" time. Without that you will get to a point where you just collapse/burn out and that isn't something you'd want them to...

7 responses

Meryembay I started smoking at the age of 16 and now at 47 I am still smoking and still enjoying it. Why am I liking it? Simply because it does relax me and I would much much rather smoke to relax than drink alcohol like some people do.No, I decided it on my own and...
