mother and father

kumbarn14 @kumbarn14 (735) • Pakistan 3 Oct 09

When children grow up and the mother or father correct them, they start hating them to the extent of living their homes and never to return.How much you love them, for them to walk away does not harm them at all. The parents are...

children love hate mother father

4 responses

histexladi If the children loved you before-they still do.It's stubborn pride or hurt feelings that make them stay away.I have 5 grown children and I don't see all of them very often as they live far away.But even when I've corrected them,and they get mad-they all will...

Where is the best place to propose?

tvb2009 @tvb2009 (237) • Singapore 24 Sep 09

I am interested in knowing what kind of ambience is right for a proposal? Which country or place has that very special kind of ambience for proposals that guys will never fail when proposing?

nice ambience

proposal

wedding

histexladi I just have to say this-It's not the place where the proposal is done-it's the feelings between the two.I was married to my husband 40 years(and a month)and he didn't actually propose.We were in the car and he said "I'm going to marry you-where are we getting...

I'm afraid of heights. what do you fear?

histexladi It's strange-now that I think about it.I remember being afraid of the dark as a child.I'd climb anything that was taller than me to jump off-but now I don't like heights and even hate to see my grandkids climb too high up. I was,and still am,afraid of...

Washing towels

Jennlk84 @Jennlk84 (4206) • United States 22 Sep 09

So I'm curious - how does everyone here wash their towels? I'm having a huge problem with my dark brown bath towels and it's driving me nuts!! I have dark brown, tan, and a shade of green towels. I was them all together...

histexladi You might also try adding a little white vinegar to the wash.It doesn't make your clothes smell,but it takes away smells and softens.If you use a clothing softener(like downy or snuggle,etc) that might help.But still try the vinegar. I use it in every load and...

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 21 Sep 09
