Airline to charge your fee based on weight

3SnuggleBunnies @3SnuggleBunnies (16374) • United States 2 Apr 13

I think this makes sense to a degree. But I really only agree with it in regards to paying for kids as they weigh next to nothing typically. It's us adults who have troubles control our weight. And in the article...

anne25penn I have experience during one of my trips that prior to boarding, we were weighed . It was only a local flight and I didn't really think much about it, but I wonder what if I weighed more than the average person? Would they charge me per pound?...

So Sad My Mom is Suffering From Mental Illness. . .

louiam @louiam (3) • Philippines 3 Apr 13

Since my father died, my mother exhibited troubled behaviors. I was 16 years old then. I don't know the main reasons about the psychological problems. What I know is I came from a poor family. Could it be a major factor that...

anne25penn I guess your mom became too sad when your dad died and now she cannot cope with the loss. People deal with death in different ways, and the way that they will be able to cope with the sadness will depend on the people around them. Just make sure that your mom...

Do you care about what other people think?

Aja103654 @Aja103654 (5646) • Philippines 2 Apr 13

Why are people care so much about what other people care about them? It is self-limiting and rather unhealthy. There is truly little benefit to caring what other people think. Though it can be useful to know what other people...

It's Too Hot In The Philippines... Let's Go to Baguio!

ARIES1973 @ARIES1973 (11426) • Legaspi, Philippines 2 Apr 13

I often heard my friends sharing this joke whenever summer came and the warm weather started to be felt in our place. So now since I can feel the warm weather again, I remember them and really, it makes me smile. How many...

anne25penn If you're in Manila like me, then going to Baguio will take around five to six hours. Plus it is expensive. My suggestion is to go to Tagaytay. It is much nearer than Baguio, plus you won't have to spend that much. The only downside is that unlike Baguio, I...

anne25penn I recall a few years ago, there was a buzz on a face cream commercial because of their play on the importance of having white skin. The commercial was about a ballet audition and the reason why the girl wasn't chosen was because she didn't "stand out" because...

anne25penn It was hot and humid earlier, but thankfully it is raining now. This will help cool my plants so I don't need to water them later anymore. Plus, I like it when it rains because it washes or cleans our streets. Not that our streets are dirty. But it's nice to...

It's easy to lose weight with fasting

aubrey @averygirl72 (37845) • Philippines 2 Feb 13

anne25penn A lot of people think that it is extreme when you go fasting. What they don't realize is you can actually just abstain if you can't really do a fast. Like what I am doing right now. I am slowly converting to vegan, so I limit my meat intake to once a week if I...

anne25penn In my opinion, the PBA declined because after the 90's they put more emphasis and funds on their imports. The local players got overshadowed and of course, the politics that ensued. A known sportscaster did cite this as the reason why the PBA has lost it's...
