Polyamory and Open Relationships

sephrenia @sephrenia (567) 9 Jun 11

For those who don't know what Polyamory is, it is literally translated as 'many loves'. In practice, I define this as the ability to love more than one person in the same way and having the freedom to do so. It's not quite an...

Amberstormraven Well this trend has taken root in S.A. and although I can't see the use of a open relationship or Polyamory I do have friends and a BF that think it could work. I also have a friend who grew up on a Polyamory family and still sees it as a way of living. If it...

Is it better to have a long term plan or just go with the flow?

Dany7W @Dany7W (19) • Romania 15 May 11

Out of which situation you will get the most of your life? Will you still have fun if everything is planned? Will you have success in life if you don`t worry about anything?

Amberstormraven Nothing wrong with planning long term, just dont plan your fun on a long term basis. For fun, I live in the moment, no regrets!!

Amberstormraven Well I love my bath. I don't really spend that much time in bath but if it's really nice I might just stay a long time. I usually daydream and relax, don't think I would sing though, my appartment is just to small and the neighbours might think I need help or...

Are you not worried of getting Old?

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 7 Jun 11

The record in my birth registry indicate that I have reached middle-age. I am worried not because of getting old as we can't escape this stage in life. I worried because once we hit 50, our body immunity start to decline and old...

Amberstormraven I think it's not the fear of old age but the fear that people will see us as useless. I do agree that older people are brainier, probably comes with being around that long. I am almost 40 and have a daughter of 20, who refuses to let me go out with her...

When is the time to say I give up..

sammy14 @sammy14 (834) • Philippines 9 Jun 11

If you have a child who is stubborn and all that she gives to you are all heart aches, problems, disgrace. In other words she is the black sheep of the family despite the fact that you have given everything for her and done...

How do you make your cupcakes?

hcromer @hcromer (2710) • United States 12 Apr 07

Do you make your cupcakes from scratch or do you prefer to make them out of the box with the assistance of the Pillsbury Doughboy or any of those? I always make mine out of the box because I'm a bad cook.

Amberstormraven I usually make mine from scratch, but I can understand your problem. My mom also used to make them out of a box, and eventually I took over the responsibility. As I love baking it wasn't much of an issue for me.

Are cupcakes making a huge come back?

oldchem1 @oldchem1 (8132) 8 Jun 11

I don't know if it is the same in your country but here in the UK the humble cupcake (or as us oldies say 'fairy cakes') are getting really popular. Mt daughter has a small business making cakes from home , over the last year or...

Amberstormraven I would agree that cupcakes are making a big comeback. Even in S.A. they are much more in demand than any other size cakes. I think it has to do with the fact that they are more easy to handle and you can have a variety rather than one cake.

How would you feel if someone that you knew, refused to speak to you?

cream97 @cream97 (29087) • United States 6 Jun 11

I am sure that we all have been in a situation as this before. I have not been spoken to many times, so it does not really phase me. But, this time it did. When my cousin passed away in January of this year, most of the family and...

Amberstormraven I saw Eat, Pray, Love. Was amazing to find a part of me in this movie. It inspired me to change things in my life, regarding relationships and my current working relationship. Must say, without watching this movie I might have never decided to make the changes...
