deedavis I try to keep an open mind. We all have our flaws, however we also have something called intuition and it's important to stay in tuned to that. I don't think that we ever really know someone, however I feel that we cannot live our lives looking over our...

I watched the Olympics non-stop for two weeks until the wee hours of the morning. Now that it's over, I feel lost and alone! I really miss the games. I have never enjoyed an Olympics game more.

As part of friendship, it is a normal thing to do to share secrets with your friends, particularly your bestfriend in some cases... I would just want to ask how loyal are you to keep your friend's secrets locked in your mind...?

deedavis I have kept many secrets. I think it really does depend on the secret, and I will explain. There are secrets that aren't good to keep, because of the fact that they could probably help others or help the person who told it. Therefore, in that case I would not...

I know not everyone on here is from an English speaking country. I think it's wonderful that so many people from non-English speaking countries learn to speak English, I would love to learn another language fluently. But, with...

deedavis I do not avoid responding to a discussion because of poor grammar or spelling. I respond based on the topic(s) or if the discussion is good. If the person is from a different country and English is the second language, I believe we should give them a break. I...

Some ppl don’t let what anyone else says influence them or their way of thinking. Others tend to change their ways if they know that something they do bothers others. I’m a little of both. Some things I’m stubborn and won’t change...

deedavis I can definitely relate to everything you have said. I use to be very outspoken as a child, and I guess most children are like that by nature. However, I remember why I changed. After moving at the age of 9; I guess it was so traumatic for me; that it impacted...

My friend and I were talking recently about how competitive the work place has become. She was overlooked for a position (within the company), for someone who had less education, experience and years with the company. I am sure...

deedavis Lying "is" wrong, however there are so many people out there who know that, but still do it. People lie on so many levels; for so many reasons, however they've convinced themselves it's okay when they do. I have never had to lie to get or keep a job, however I...

deedavis I went through that phase as well and there was nothing my mom could say to me to help me feel any differently about myself. One thing I know for sure is that those feelings did not come out of nowhere. They were triggered by comments that were made to me by...

it is very hard to be a mother, let alone be a good one. the hardest part is raising your child to become a good person and not a menace to our society. what do you do to achieve this? how are you doing so far?

deedavis I do agree that they need to be good citizens among other things (that is good or positive). However, to establish that we need to train our child(ren) and we also need to be consistent despite the messages they are getting from the outside world. The...

My daughter is 3 years old and for as long as I can remember, I have always had a tough time getting her to bed. I am confident in saying that there is nothing that I have not tried or done to get her on a schedule; however it...

deedavis Thank you for that. Waking my daughter up at a reasonable time is something I have not been successful at so far, because the moment I take off to go and make breakfast; she finds a way to fall asleep somewhere else in the house. She has a very strong will, so...

deedavis I agree with you Plumfrance, I do understand how challenging that can be. However, it is also very rewarding, which I am sure you would agree. I am not the disciplinarian in our family, my husband is. When my daughter was about 2 years another mom introduced...
