Are we too lazy to use a spoon? Food in squeeze tubes... how fat can we get?!

JanieJetz @JanieJetz (47) • United States 1 Feb 07

OK, does anyone else find issues with the way foods are being packaged for convenience? On the one hand, yes, they are convenient, but on the other, why? I love yogurt and eat it almost every day for breakfast, but I refuse to...

I don't want to have children. Why is this not very accepted in modern society?

JanieJetz @JanieJetz (47) • United States 31 Jan 07

I am a 30- something woman and don't have a very maternal instinct, and don't want to have children. It can be hard since many of my friends do have children, but the pressure I feel is imposed, and not from within. Why isn't is...

What is your favorite beach in the Caribbean?

JanieJetz @JanieJetz (47) • United States 31 Jan 07

I want to take a beach vacation before winter is over, and want to know what are the best beaches in the Caribbean? I want to go somewhere that has white sand, lots of space, not so many panhandlers, where you feel comfortable...

What to do in initial stages of taking care of elderly parents?

JanieJetz @JanieJetz (47) • United States 31 Jan 07

I have "older" parents for someone my age (mid 30s) and so my friends haven't really experienced any issues yet around aging parents. My father is 81 and mother is 75. Except for a pacemaker, dad is doing great! I've noticed...

Do you tell a friend they are not fashionable, or do you not say anything?

JanieJetz @JanieJetz (47) • United States 31 Jan 07

How many of us have a friend (or more than one) that are wonderful people, but who wear i.e. pleated pants with peg legs from the early 90s, or a sweatpant outfit that has bands around the botom and you look like a giant...

Do dogs get cold like people?

JanieJetz @JanieJetz (47) • United States 30 Jan 07

I have a little terrier and he has pretty thin fur on his little belly. When it's winter I worry about taking him outside for long periods of time. Is it healthy for him? I have a little sweater for him, but he HATES it and...

Do you know what "rule of thumb" really means?

JanieJetz @JanieJetz (47) • United States 30 Jan 07

Have you ever used this expression? Someone told me that "rule of thumb" was an old law that meant that a man could beat a woman with an object (stick, pole, etc) as long as it wasn't thicker than your thumb. That way they...

Bad teeth... what do you do?

JanieJetz @JanieJetz (47) • United States 30 Jan 07

I have a relative who doesn't take care of her teeth. She has tooth decay and I can see the "black decay lines" around her top front teeth. The thing is.... she is a smart woman but for some reason neglects this part of herself....

Life after cancer.... do you feel like you are different?

JanieJetz @JanieJetz (47) • United States 30 Jan 07

I survived cancer in 2003 and again in 2006. I was lucky in that I had a more treatable cancer, but I still have been through surgery and chemotherapy (2003) and then radiation in 2006. I feel like my senses are a little dulled...

Does anyone cook anymore?

JanieJetz @JanieJetz (47) • United States 30 Jan 07

I am single and I find that cooking often costs more than buying prepared food at the grocery store. Do you do the same? Buy the time I buy all the ingredients to cook a recipe, it costs more than buying a prepared dinner, and I...

How to keep focused enough to write the book I've always wanted to write!

JanieJetz @JanieJetz (47) • United States 30 Jan 07

I think many of us have aspirations to write a book based on our experiences and our imaginations. I've always wanted to but for some reason can't sit down and write much past an outline of what I'm interested in pursuing. I...
