Tell the Truth

hmkoct5 @hmkoct5 (2065) • United States 1 Apr 13

Be honest, have you ever texted while driving? I just watched a news segment that said even though the majority of people know it is dangerous, they still do it. Have you ever done it? I try to stay away from doing it. I don't...

Need Assistance

hmkoct5 @hmkoct5 (2065) • United States 20 Feb 13

Pretend it is the old days (like 15 years ago -- lol!) and your car breaks down in a small, scary town. You only have one quarter to call for help. Who would you call and why would you choose that person?

Cheating Hearts

hmkoct5 @hmkoct5 (2065) • United States 4 Oct 12

Would you want your friends to tell you if they knew your husband was cheating? The answer for me is definitely yes. I have a real problem with being lied to and misled. If I had a friend who knew the truth, I would really want to...

Swearing

hmkoct5 @hmkoct5 (2065) • United States 2 Oct 12

My husband has a real aversion to swearing. He grew up with an abusive stepfather, who swore at him constantly. It made him feel terrible and really hurt his self-esteem. As a result, my husband never swears. Do you think it is...

Gambling

hmkoct5 @hmkoct5 (2065) • United States 17 Sep 12

I heard an interesting discussion on the radio today. The announcers were having a discussion over gambling. One of the announcers was upset that people would go to casinos, but only to watch other people gamble. He couldn't...

Ever shoplifted?

hmkoct5 @hmkoct5 (2065) • United States 5 Oct 11

When I was a little girl, probably about five years old, I stole a Chapstick from a store. I felt so bad about it that I told my parents. They made me take it back and apologize. I think I also got spanked. That was the last time...
