Is good grammar and spelling necessary?

samrat16 @samrat16 (2442) • India 24 Apr 07

I'm a citizen of India. English doesn't come natural to us as we have Hindi as our prime language and then regional languages. English has always been secondary language in schools in India. ( I am sharing view about time when I...

Dreading Mother's Day

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 22 Apr 07

I thought that becoming a mother myself would make me understand my mother better, realize why she didn't manage to be in my life much, realize why she was abusive towards me, what made her act the way she did. It didn't. If...

aradia I know the feeling. I, myself, have a bit of an issue with Father's Day. My father and I pretend to be on good terms, and sometimes we are, but he and I really can't stand each other, I think. Yes, there was some physical and mental abuse involved when I was a...

My s/o's almost 17 year old, unemployed, son just asked me if we would take out a loan or co-sign a loan so he could get the car he wants. Now I don't have a huge problem with him getting a car, IF he also got a job to at least...

aradia You're not a bad parent, you're not a bad person, and you're not making a bad decision. To be honest, it disgusts me how much people in my age group don't know the value of a dollar. What upsets me more is that I know the next generation is that much worse...

sunshinelady @sunshinelady (7609) • United States 23 Apr 07

aradia from my experience, i've found it has to do with pride. it's not so much about the other people around, or whether or not he'll be asking a woman, it's the fact that he would have to admit to himself that he can't handle a situation alone. he can't figure it...

aradia As a chubby person, I would have to say yes. I'm 21 and not horribly overweight, so I wouldn't do it with my life the way it is now. But if I was a 27 year old who weighed 500 lbs and was sick and tired of being a prisoner to my body, yes, I would consider...

Why are watches worn on the left?

silver_shaddow @silver_shaddow (1204) 3 Apr 07

aradia Most people are right handed and wearing a watch on that wrist makes it more uncomfortable when you write, or at least, it does for me. All my big bracelets go on the left because it's hard to set your arm down and write something when you have a...
