Too Much Coffee

Steve West @zebra2222 (5268) • United States 8 Jan 16

Does anyone drink too much coffee? How does it make you feel? Are you relaxed? Do you feel wound up and keyed? What do you consider too much coffee to drink? Do you drink it just in the morning or all day long? Let me know...

Grandmaof2 I can drink coffee anytime. It doesn't keep me awake or make me jittery. I drink my share of coffee but I don't drink really strong stuff. Medium blend is my favourite. Sometimes I put a bit of coffee cream in it but mostly drink it black. Never with sugar.

Someone Stole Our Christmas Money

Angel @Angelee_27 (3460) • United States 28 Dec 15

My boyfriend's grandmother called about a week ago and said that she sent us some money in a Christmas card through the mail. I immediately felt uneasy about it, because sending cash in the mail is very risky. It can get lost or...

Taking Away A Child's Dinner - Appropriate Punishment?

Angel @Angelee_27 (3460) • United States 27 Dec 15

Do you think that taking away dinner is an appropriate punishment for a child? I can understand taking away desserts, toys, electronics, etc... but personally I think it is a bit harsh to make your child skip dinner as a...

Do children today get as excited about Christmas as kids did thirty years ago?

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 14 Dec 11

Many children today seem to be able to get whatever they want, whenever they want it, or as some say, everyday is Christmas. Do you think this affects how children look at Christmas? Is Christmas a big deal to children anymore?

Grandmaof2 What I have done in the past is carefully unpick the stitching till you remove the cuff then sew it back on hiding the ragged edge by sewing it back to the sleeve. Now you have a new cuff. Good Luck.

Grandmaof2 I don't know these people obviously but it sounds like a bit of a soap opera to me. It is awful we just can't trust our partners the way it used to be. Long term marriages are simply a thing of the past it's sad real sad isn't it ?
