When Life Keeps Kicking You

misskatonic @misskatonic (3723) • United States 19 Feb 07

And there's nothing you can do. How do you deal with that? I mean really? As most of my friends here know, I'm not that great off financially. But now, due to unforeseen circumstances, neither is my sister. Or her husband and...

Apollo813 For me, I use relaxation techniques when life is stressing me out. Exercising is a big one. It makes you feel better both physically and mentally. A warm bubble bath will also do the trick. Or baking some cookies. Just taking a quick nap or laying down and...

Apollo813 What a horrible experience for a parent to forget to pick up their child. When I was in high school, my car broke down and I wasn't able to get to school for a couple days without having somebody take me. My dad worked midnights so he would have to come home...

What would you do and how would you feel if someone tells you that "I'm falling for you and I know it's useless..." I have this friend, she's really a beauty, and actually I'm the one who told her that "I'm falling for her",...

Apollo813 I think it is a very brave thing to tell someone how you feel about them when it is likely that they will not reciprocate the feeling back to you. Especially when they are already in a relationship that will probably not end anytime soon. However, you never...

Shoould Britany leave the USA?

SageMother @SageMother (2277) • United States 19 Feb 07

Johnny Depp lives in France, Madonna is in UK. Both places have something in common, and that is a non-puritanical view of adult behaviour. Centuries of varying degrees of civilization in those countries have taught those...

Apollo813 I agree with you. She is way too liberal and too much of a party girl. Maybe if she left the country and traveled elsewhere, she would be more accepted. Most of her previous fans dislike her. The things she is doing are only getting more and more stupid. If...

Do You Wear Your Shoes Indoors?

ItTakesAllSorts @ItTakesAllSorts (4096) 19 Feb 07

I know the Japanese custom is to take their shoes off at the door and to me this is a wise thing to do. I have read you can bring a certain amount of lead into your home by wearing your shoes indoors. Do you do this or are you...

Apollo813 I guess it all depends on the location you are talking about. If it is someone's home, then no you would not wear your shoes. I can't really think of anyone I know that actually wears their shoes inside of a house. Not only is it a custom of the Japanese, but...

Would you do this to your kid?

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 19 Feb 07

We have friends that have an 18 year old daughter. She's a decent kid and they have always set standards very high for her. When she turned 18 they made it clear to her that as long as she lived under their roof she would abide by...

Apollo813 Yes, I think this is pretty drastic. First of all, let me say I am not that far away from a teenager, I just turned twenty-two. I would have definetely called my parents and told them if I wasn't going to be home at the time they expected me. It was my...

Apollo813 Now I am wondering this: If he won the lottery the first night, why would he continue to play the very next night? If I won 25,000 I would probably be out spending or perhaps investing the money instead of buying more lottery tickets. Who knows, maybe he is...

Makena1968 @Makena1968 (682) • United States 19 Feb 07

I was wondering, recently I had to end a relationship, and one reason I had to end it was because my partner smoked, alot..and I don't, at all. I just couldn't take the smell of the cigarette and cigar smoke, it made me smell bad,...

Apollo813 As a nonsmoker, there is no way I would ever be able to date someone who smoked. If I did not know he smoked before beginning the relationship, I would definetely end it. I am going to nursing school and am learning all the health risks associated with...

which ACTOR has played the best GOD? DEVIL?

recidivist20 @recidivist20 (348) • Philippines 18 Feb 07

i guess the first vote would have to be for George Burns, playing both God and Devil at the same time in one movie, "Oh GoD! You Devil!" but i also like Al Pacino's portrayal as the devil in "The Devil's Advocate"..there's...

Apollo813 I know this person isn't an actor, but I always find it funny to watch the Simpsons and see Ned Flanders when they portray him as the devil. Funny seeing him in a different role than the never sinning Christian he usually is
