geekemgirl @geekemgirl (270) • United States 29 Jan 12

I recently started watching this show called Dance Mom. I was flipping stations and randomly left it on Lifetime to do homework and a marathon of this show came on. Now, I watch it because I can't help myself. Kind of like...

Parents should be parents first not friends

geekemgirl @geekemgirl (270) • United States 29 Jan 12

It seems that many children today aren't getting proper discipline because some parents want to be friends with their children and don't want to lose that friendship. I don't think there is anything wrong with being friends with...

What do you think about romance books without happy endings?

geekemgirl @geekemgirl (270) • United States 18 Jan 12

I read a variety of genres and am open to any type of ending. But, when I read a romance novel, I only want a happy ending. I get quite annoyed when there isn't a Happy Ever After (HEA). I think to myself, how dare the book be...

geekemgirl @geekemgirl (270) • United States 16 Jan 12

I went to a funeral a few weeks ago. I only had red nail polish which I didn't want to wear, so I bought some tan polish. My mom said this was a good thing because it was disrespectful to wear red to a funeral. I had never heard...

My hubby says I love you to me a lot. He probably says it like once a hour at least. I never thought about it because I'm used to it and dont have a problem with it. But a few minutes ago, he asked me if I ever get annoyed because...

Are kids playing enough?

geekemgirl @geekemgirl (270) • United States 14 Jan 12

Is it just me or does it seem that kids hardly play outside anymore? Most of the schools in my area are eliminating recess, physical education (P.E.) and after school sports due to budget cuts. When children get home they choose...

stroke turned him gay

geekemgirl @geekemgirl (270) • United States 8 Jan 12

I read an article a few months ago about a straight man who had a stroke and was gay after the recovery. He says the stroke turned him gay. Personally, I doubt this. I think he might not have admitted to himself that he was gay...

If someone is in a non-open, committed relationship and sleep with someone else then that is cheating in my eyes. I wouldnt stay with the person regardless of their reason for cheating because it shows a lack of respect for me and...

Women read too much into everything

geekemgirl @geekemgirl (270) • United States 9 Nov 11

I work in an office of all women and it can be difficult sometimes because women can be moody and over analytical. I'd hear people say this all the time and didnt like or agree with it until I was placed in the situation myself....
