Did your family eat around the dinner table?

Lore2009 @Lore2009 (7378) • United States 19 Oct 10

Did your family eat around the dinner table and talk? That is one of my ideals. I'd like a family to sit together at the dinner table and talk and talk and talk, without the TV! My family was not like that. The TV was always on...

alphabeata We weren't raised from that ideal type of setting, probably because I used to live in my grandparents home (being a product of a broken home) where multiple families reside, each one mindful of their own agenda. I wouldn't exactly say that it left a big impact...

alphabeata I have a favorite aunt who treated me as her own. Sadly, she already passed away when I was three months pregnant, that was more than a decade ago, but her memories will always live in my heart. I love her so much, so much that there were times that I still...

alphabeata It works fine in Opera browser, I just clicked today's ads. For a while I thought wordlinx would be a goner but thankfully it's now working just fine. Wordlinx has been around for seven years now.

alphabeata I'm crazy for sliced green mango especially when dipped in sauteed shrimp paste or natively called "bagoong" in the Philippines. It's my notion that every fruit or food for that matter that taste sour has vitamin C in it.

What is your favorite song from Norah Jones collection ?

zatak07 @zatak07 (699) • India 11 Aug 08

my favorite song from Norah Jones collection is "Sunrise" but the video is somewhat boring........

alphabeata In my opinion, nothing beats her rendition of "Love Me Tender" originally sang by The King Elvis Presley. Don't wanna be disrespectful to his fans, but there's something haunting, chilling and enchanting in the way Norah performed and sang it. I could think of...

What are your best tips for frugal living?

puccagirl @puccagirl (7294) • Israel 17 Oct 10

I am trying to be a bit more frugal, not so much because I have to, but because I think it would make it possible for me to save more, which would be great. So does anyone have any tips when it comes to being more frugal, not...

alphabeata Understandably, you are not the only mother who is experiencing such kind of problem. It happens to many parents especially with kids whose attachment to their home, parents or even toys is that intense. You would not expect a four year old boy to act like an...

Do you have somthing that you really want to do but for some reason couldn't?

ynam29 @ynam29 (40) • Philippines 17 Oct 10

There are things I've always wanted to do but somehow something's stopping me fear of doing it, fear of other people's opinions, fear of rejection, financial constraints, no time, etc, etc. If so, What is it? and I dare...

alphabeata Yes. There's actually a lot, but the most frustrating thing that I want to do yet I can't and I don't is for me to religiously spread the good news or share the gospel to those people whom I don't just love and know but also to the ones whom I come across...

Do you still go home for All Saint's day?

jlamela @jlamela (4898) • Philippines 17 Oct 10

All Saint's day is very important to Filipinos, since this is the day where we could spend enormous time with our loved ones who passed away. But since I am working far away from our place, I couldn't make it to return home to...

alphabeata All Saints' Day used to be a "looking-forward" event for us, family. It's an occasion where people flock to visit their loved ones not necessarily the ones who were already gone but more so, relatives who are still living. I would agree that it's been a...

Eating exotic food is an adventure

aileen2008 @aileen2008 (838) • Philippines 15 Jun 10

Here in our country, exotic food is very popular. Locals can prepare dishes made up of frogs, insects, snakes, rats and even big lizards. Usually these restaurants are located in the provinces which is a popular attraction for...

Marriage? Good Friends, No Romance!

artistry @artistry (4151) • United States 15 Jun 10

Would you consider marriage to someone who you liked very much as a good friend, but there was no romantic love between the two of you? This would be a choice the two of you made. What do you think?

alphabeata Being good friends is already a strong enough foundation, as they say friendship is an essential element when entering marriage, but with the absence of romance which is another essential element, marriage will eventually falter unless both of you consciously...

Do You Believe Smokers Have Rights?

hofferp @hofferp (4734) • United States 8 May 10

My roommate and I were having a discussion. He's a non-smoker and I am a smoker. His mother died from lung cancer as a result of smoking. But he says he still advocates for smokers' rights. Even though I'm a smoker, I'm not sure,...

alphabeata If there are rights smokers should have, it should be primarily the rights to save themselves. I strongly believe that smoking won't do you or your body for that matter any good. It would only deteriorate your every single body parts.

Is it wrong to be too honest?

camillefetish101 @camillefetish101 (140) • United States 8 May 10

If a friend ask you for advice about their life or such in general and she said she will do just as you say then later on sees her doing the total opposite again. She then ask you for advice for the same problem again and again...

alphabeata It would come to a point when you feel that you've exerted all your efforts and yet it all went to waste. Once saturated, I'm sure, without any hint, you would naturally ask her to back off and try checking her listening & comprehension skills. Boy, it sounds...
