RobinJ Yes yes yes, until you have lived with someone 24/7, you will never know them. I am also in agreement with long dating time, even then you just never get to see that person as they really are, and after all that is what you need to know the most, as well if...

RobinJ I am not sure which one I think is best but If you do not mind a bit of information, a love marriage is not as you think, You may know some one your entire life but until you live with them do you truly get to know them. As well in love marriages, either or...

bounce58 @bounce58 (17387) • Canada 18 Mar 10

Calling out all parents with grown up children. I’m trying to teach the concept of responsibility to my 9-year old and instead of reading a book or a blog, I thought I’d consult this wealth of knowledge, known as myLot. I...

RobinJ I do not think you can teach responsibility, you have to learn it by seeing it in others. For example teaching our children to tell the truth, when we do not tell the truth ourselves. In order for us to learn personal responsibility, we have to be aware that...

intelpink @intelpink (163) • Philippines 18 Mar 10

Jealousy is one of the unavoidable feeling that a person can meet in the relationship. It is often times the root of quarrels and disagreements that lead to separation. It is also connected to unfaithfulness especially when it...

RobinJ I try to avoid feeling jealous because it is very negative.I do not envy anyone because each and every one of us have a life to lead, and while I may not have all the money, stuff, friends, in the world, I am content with who and what I am. I believe that...

Single President?

rainie30 @rainie30 (146) • United States 3 Jan 10

My friend and I were debating if we could ever have a single man voted in as President of the USA. She feels yes, I say no. Too many of our values have to do with children, and I think Americans just trust someone who is a 'family...

RobinJ While i do not live in the USA, I would never have any problem voting for a singe person for President or Prime Minister, providing they were qualified. I think is isn't a great idea to vote for a person because they say and do things to please a lot of...

If someone smelled really bad would you tell them?

Sheri @tuckersheri (1327) • United States 26 Sep 09

I would tell someone if they smelled really bad. I would take them to the side and let them know they smell. I would not say this too them to be mean. I would tell them this out of good manners. Noone wants to stand or sit next to...

RobinJ I agree, it is far more embarrassing to be thought of as dirty of indifferent to personal hygiene, than to be told we have bad breath or body odour. I personally have had this happen to me, the first time was I was told I smelled of stale urine, and it taught...

What increases chance of altezeimers

suspenseful @suspenseful (40193) • Canada 6 Aug 09

RobinJ Just because your husband is disabled is no reason for him to treat you in this manner, you are an adult. He perhaps treats you like a child because he is allowed to. If you are his caregiver, it does not mean that he can run rough shod over you or your...

RobinJ I wonder if you ever felt the urge to explore the witchcraft world. In past times women were burned at the stake because they were accused of witchcraft, when in fact they were women that had leaned to work with nature rather than trying to get nature to work...

RobinJ I am not sure about Karma, as much as I believe that happiness comes from doing what is right, being compassionate and making a difference in the world. Perhaps this person has seen that the way she was behaving before brought her no happiness and now she has...
