THKOhio I've never heard of this before, but I'm going to go have a look at the website. Sounds like it would be something fun to start in my own neighborhood. Who knows, thanks to this post, the Phantom may be striking all over the world soon! LOL

autismmom2 @autismmom2 (155) • United States 3 Oct 08

What is something your parents did when you were younger that you will never do with your kids? For me, it was not being believed, or that something was really bothering me. My father never took my medical complaints serious....

THKOhio For me, it would be spanking. For my parents, that was their discipline method of choice. I chose never to use it with any of my children, and have managed to hold to that for more than 22 years. We have found other ways of teaching our children right from...

THKOhio If someone is a guest in my home, then that's what they are....a guest. I don't EXPECT them to do anything around the house. If they OFFER to help out in some way, that's fine. I'll probably accept the offer, depending on the task. But if they choose not to...

Stay single or be in love?

Paulyn Davis @paulsy (1263) • Philippines 2 Oct 08

I have heard some people say that for every man there is a woman, and for every woman, there is a man. I don't really know if this is true. There are some people who choose to be single for life, and others who don't choose to be...

THKOhio I truly believe that there is someone for everyone. Just because someone chooses to stay single, that doesn't mean there is no one out there who would be their perfect match. It just means they chose not to look...and that their perfect match will now have to...

THKOhio When I get really upset, I have several things that I fall back on to calm myself down. I do tend to clean like a mad woman when I'm angry, and everyone in the immediate family knows it. So, if they come home from school and/or work and see the house is a LOT...

Do you read the whole discussion or just answer whats on the topic?

Ellie @ellie26 (4139) • Malaysia 3 May 08

I know some will just answer whats on the topic without even reading through the whole discussion. What do you think? Sometimes I find that the topic and the content of the discussion are totally mismatch. Agree?

What helps you wake up in the morning

dpk262006 @dpk262006 (58679) • Delhi, India 2 May 08

What helps you wake up in the morning, well in time? Is it natural that you get up automatically every morning or is it something else, besides alarm, which wakes you up? For example, chirpping of birds, sound of some music or...

THKOhio During the week, it's the alarm clock. On the weekends, it's my internal clock that wakes me. I have to cut my sleep time short during the week in order to get up and get my day going. On weekends, I can sleep until my body is fully rested, which is usually...

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

lolalolacherrycola @lolalolacherrycola (899) • United States 13 Apr 08
