I would love to have a day where I'm crazy and do anything I want and break things until the stress melted away. It would make me feel so free. Is that really strange to want something like that?

forsan I'd say we all need an escape every so often. Even if a whole day isn't possible a few hours doing something that feels good works wonders. I 'd rather have a spa day or a day out walking without worrying about the time but everyone's different.

What do you think about this? Do you think this is called copying? This came to me suddenly when I noticed that there was a similar topic like mine posted in Mylot. I don't think this is copying. Different contents always mean...

forsan I'd just put it down to coincidence. Once you post a discussion and the list of similar discussions pops up it's fairly obvious the two have a similar title but not before then.

Nearly ten years ago my Grandad died of cancer, he left behind my Grandma who was devastated and she has never got over it at all. She was not working when he died as she was caring for him though his illness and he had to take...

forsan Just a thought, if she was cutting down on food she may have done so on heating too. I think she will be entitled to help from Warmfront, Staywarm or Magic Boiler whichever is of most benefit. You might like to look them up to see if you think they would be...

forsan I wouldn't travel without my Earplanes - such a simple thing, a pair of earplugs from the chemist that you put in during landing and take off. I'not sure why they work but they have done the trick for me. A parent with a small child first recommended them and...

forsan It's such a shame this kind of thing happens. I think it is getting worse too because of the number of benefits that you have to apply for online or by using an automated telephone system. Unless some-one helps, it is difficult for an older person who has...

I've noticed this before, but recent events have really got me irked enough to mention it here now. Why do people pay more for an item on eBay than they'd pay for it in a store? For example, Mario Kart Wii is $50. A Nintendo...

forsan Sometimes they just seem to get carried away. I've listed 2 identical items at the same time and they've appeared on consecutive pages on the listings. If a person starts bidding on one of them they tend to stick with that auction and keep bidding up against a...

forsan Thanks for your comments. Was that cio.co.uk or ciao.co.uk? I have an account with ciao but get very few surveys from them. I've earned £0.26 in around 6 months. Perhaps there is more interest in India than the UK or maybe they are looking for a special type...

Do you know iron pyrite? I've read some information about it. Firstly, I think it is a flint. Next, I try to find some more details about it and I think it is not a flint. I don't know in English what word's iron pyrite stand for....

forsan It is a mineral, a form of iron sulphide. It is named from the Greek for "stone which strikes fire" and often looks like a lot of cubes all jumbled together. It has a very shiny surface, and you'll sometimes see references to pyrite as fools gold. Pure pyrite...

forsan Yes, I do the same. A lot of them have only just been posted so you do get to see the some of the newest as well - best of both worlds. Besides I think it is so good to get at least one response if you take time to post a discussion.
