worldwise1 @worldwise1 (14885) • United States 1 Nov 07

A story on the local news gave me this discussion. It seems that a man was jaywalking in our downtown area when he was struck by a car. He will be alright, although he did sustain some injuries. It was observed that he will be...

dinxcarin @dinxcarin (595) • Singapore 31 Oct 07

ethereal_flower i find ebooks more convenient because i can just access them anywhere. however i find them more strenous to my eyes. and yes, i also love flipping paper pages rather than just clicking and scrolling down using my mouse.

Is it okay to be jealous?

irishblanca @irishblanca (34) • Philippines 1 Nov 07

Is it okay to be jealous with your partner? Is it okay to get hurt when you observe that your love one is interested with others? I'm a little bit confused. I love my husband so much, and I'm afraid to lose him. When were...

ethereal_flower i think it is okay to be jealous because it shows that you care enough for the person that you become scared of losing him. i would want my partner to feel scared of losing me because then i would feel that i am an important part of his life. what counts is...

How did you know it was true love?

meholl @meholl (510) • United States 31 Oct 07

I was talking to my sister the other day, and it struck me that what I was telling her about my relationship with my husband was my definition of true love. We all have our own definition of true love. My hubby and I have been...

Do you think that the older you get, the harder it is to make TRUE friends?

poohgal @poohgal (6845) • Singapore 17 Oct 07

Hello there. Do you think that the older you get, the harder it is to make TRUE friends? Personally, all of my good friends are from my schooling days. They are the ones whom I know I can trust. I personally find it difficult to...

Have you ever been 'deeply hurt' by a close friend?

someonesmom @someonesmom (5761) • Canada 26 Oct 07

Are you an 'old-fashioned' neighbour?

someonesmom @someonesmom (5761) • Canada 1 Nov 07

Years ago, it was a fairly common thing, for people to 'borrow a cup of sugar,' etc., from their neighbours. I have neighbours who still feel comfortable doing this type of thing, which is fine by me. We live in a city, and...

ethereal_flower it depends on my mood. when i'm feeling sappy and sad, any song could make me cry so easily. i checked out your song and i love it, no wonder it made you cry because i had tears in my eyes while listening to it. when i'm sad and i listen to slow songs, i end...

What do you do, when you're stuck without a television to watch?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 28 Oct 07

Most days I don't watch TV. Not because I have anything against television, but more so because I prefer to work online. But sometimes, I really like watching my home decorating shows. And, usually about that time, my spouse...
