belindayhughes I am different from you and your husband. I enjoy doing laundry and washing dishes, as well as cooking. But I would not object to a partner who will do those things with me.

belindayhughes I never thought about those parts of traveling. These are great ideas. I would just like to go to somewhere exotic and different than I am used to being. I'd like to travel for a change of scenery, and maybe try some new foods, dances and languages.

What do you prefer: diet, exercise or both?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140097) • Philippines 23 Dec 12

I am sure most people will say both, but how about the others who can do or no time for exercise. They just prefer having a diet over strenuous exercises. What do you think?

belindayhughes I prefer both diet and exercise for best results. Increasing water and eating sprouts while letting go of fats, unnatural sugars and starches is very simple and much less expensive than buying into a diet program. My exercise consists of yoga and abdominal...

belindayhughes Maybe the person who first began this superstition had a bad experience of some sort when they paid a debt after dark. More trouble seems to happen in the wee hours of the night, perhaps because people can hide in the dark. In addition, that is when many...

belindayhughes I've heard the phrase "never leave money on the table," but I didn't interpret it the way your grandma did. I agree with the others that your thoughts can determine your reality.
