So, the car is totaled..

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 14 Dec 16

I mentioned the other day that my son was in a car accident. We found out today the car will be a total loss. Honestly I think this is the best case scenario. This is my son's 2nd accident this year, the 2nd car he has totaled....

beaniefanatic13 I think you're doing the right thing. You didn't mention how old he is? Also who's fault it was? Was he being careless or was this no fault of his own? The good news is, it sounds like he is ok, accidents are pretty scary and can cost a...

My House Is a MESS

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (83064) • United States 14 Dec 16

My house looks like a bomb hit it. This morning I started the wrapping process for Christmas. What an ordeal! I did most of my shopping online so I just kept piling up the boxes as they were delivered. My pile was neat and...

beaniefanatic13 Now that you have it all sorted out, I would work on one pile at a time. The cardboard seems like it would be the easiest to start with. Then I would work on gifts, I always start with the big ones so that I can use smaller pieces of wrap to use on the...

beaniefanatic13 I still have a few things to get and will be out this weekend to pick those up. I'm still having difficulty in what to get my son. If course he is being zero help. I really need him to make a decision if he wants it before Christmas as I need to get it...

Should Christmas songs be banned from restaurants?

The Horse @TheHorse (220068) • Walnut Creek, California 13 Dec 16

I woke up this morning to a fluffy HuffPost article about a restaurant in Florida that was playing Christmas music in the background. Someone wrote a note complaining about the Christmas music, and asking for more neutral...

beaniefanatic13 Everyone is offended by something these days. It has gotten to out of hand, if a person is offended by the music then they shouldn't dine there. In fact, they probably should just stay home until after the first of the year. I currently am at...

Do you do more shopping from online stores or physical stores?

bluemoonpavilion @bluemoonpavilion (4658) • Singapore 13 Dec 16

For online shopping, I feel like I'm taking a chance cos the info or picture shown might be misleading, and there's the risk of spoilt goods, but the upside is, there's lots of choices and some things are really cheaper. So for...

beaniefanatic13 I look at clothing online but haven't had a lot of luck in buying it. The few pieces that I have ordered online haven't fit properly and the sizes weren't true. So I don't purchase clothing or shoes online. I love Amazon for ordering things as people give...

People borrowing things from me drives me crazy

ShannyBananny @shaggin (72222) • United States 13 Dec 16

Anytime people borrow my things they do not return them or give things back with pieces missing etc. I usually say no due to this anytime people ask me to borrow things. I never borrow anything. If I need something I buy it! I...

beaniefanatic13 I have had problems over the years lending things out. I really can't find a reasonable excuse for people anymore, except to say that people are just selfish today. I don't think that it was like this along time ago, people had no choice but to help family,...

This person just ruffles my feathers

bluemoonpavilion @bluemoonpavilion (4658) • Singapore 13 Dec 16

So today I received an email from a colleague addressed to several of us working on the same floor. She said, "please cooperate by not using the 2 printers at my side as I need to print a lot of stuff today." To me it sounds like...

beaniefanatic13 I think the way that she wrote the request is very rude. I have worked in a few large offices in the past and I can tell you that when someone is printing a lot of stuff to a printer that you tend to print it several times before being able to actually get a...

beaniefanatic13 Amazon canceled one of my orders last week. I think, at this time of year, it probably happens more frequently. I hope you're able to find it by another supplier. I had to order something different entirely, as the item I ordered wasn't guaranteed to make...

beaniefanatic13 After reading through the posts and finding that your employer doesn't close early, then I would ask to leave early. I usually have 1 to 2 days a year that I ask to leave early do to weather. Take it slow going home.

Teaching your kids right from wrong.

Juveria Ishaq @Candidchasm23 (1) • India 30 Nov 16

When do you think kids are ready to learn the difference between right and wrong? Is preschool age the right time? Or earlier or later? Let me know your views please.

beaniefanatic13 You should start teaching them from the beginning, otherwise you will have difficulty when they are older. If they didn't learn from an early age then when you try and teach them when they are older they will wonder why all of a sudden something is wrong that...

ShannyBananny @shaggin (72222) • United States 1 Dec 16

beaniefanatic13 This happens to frequently, and yes I check my receipts and try to keep an eye on the prices as they are ringing up. The cashiers always act irritated, holding up the line. Happened to me on a plant I bought a couple weeks ago, the sign said $19.99 and it...
