Stephanie5 @Stephanie5 (2946) • United States 19 Nov 07

I started smoking when I was 7. I'm 30 now. I want to quit smoking really bad, but I honestly just don't know where to start. I have no will power and I just can't seem to stop and the more I think about smoking, the more I want...

cthorn My mother in law tried the ear laser thing, I think they shock a place on the inside of your ear and it's supposed to make you not want to smoke anymore. It costs like a hundred dollars and it does not work! She wanted to smoke immediately after she left the...

What Would You Think?

girljar @girljar (287) • United States 15 Nov 07

My husband and I were separated for awhile earlier this year. We got back together in June, and we moved to Florida from Indiana. Since he's been down here, though, a couple of times he has gotten text messages from a woman in...

cthorn Sounds like a pretty sticky situation. I think if it were my husband, I'd try to let it go. Unless the messages indicate that maybe she wants to start something up with him or that they already have, if she's so far away you probably have nothing to worry...

cthorn I'm the jealous type so I'd automatically assume the worst. How do you not remember paying for a motel room in the last few months? It's not like paying for gas or grabbing something to eat, seems like it would stick out in your mind. However, I always thought...

You're over 30 years old...do you still play video games?

jhartana @jhartana (1084) • Australia 18 Nov 07

As the title suggests, do you still play video games even though you're over 30 years old? If so, how often do you play? Are you married and still play video games? Does your partner restrict you from playing games? Do you play...

cthorn I am pretty much the same way, but I wouldn't call it being dependent on your child. I've been told that I'm selfish when it comes to my three year old son. When he was a baby I didn't like it when other people held him. I got upset about the way his grandma...

cthorn I define my friends as the people who have stood by me through thick and thin. They are the ones who will never leave your side, never do you wrong, the people who know you inside and out, and love you for every bad habit you have or every imperfection.

cthorn When I was younger, my mom could always tell if I had been drinking the night before because the morning after my voice would be almost gone. I think it's because people start drinking and won't shut up. Maybe you should try getting really loud, seems to work...

Do you believe that once we say something, it can never be taken back?

freeasabee @freeasabee (54) • Australia 19 Nov 07

We need to be careful what we say, because words are very powerful. Something that can be said to us 30 years ago, can still hurt us or still empower us. Being a parent I need to be aware of not saying something out of anger...

why are fat people at the receiving end of society brutalities?

cthorn It's not "criminal" to be fat. The problem is that some people are overweight because of their genetics and others because they are lazy. When you see a heavy person you automatically think that they are lazy and that they could be thin if they wanted too....

krsnay @krsnay (1) • United States 11 Nov 07

Politically correct! MIscarriage

Debs_place @Debs_place (10520) • United States 19 Nov 07

A girl I work with just had a 'miscarriage' at about 12 weeks into her pregnancy. I was corrected by someone who told me that the word 'miscarriage' is no longer used, because it implies blame. I was told that 'Spontaneous...

cthorn I think that spontaneous abortion sounds much more negative than miscarriage. I've heard both terms used, but I still say miscarriage. Even though the word makes sense, it still involves abortion, which automatically makes me think of a woman's choice to give...
