The signs before saying, "Its ok. You're forgiven..."

deouscef @deouscef (25) • Philippines 5 May 09

As mere mortals, we are entitled to commit mistakes. We are not perfect. I only believe on one entity that could be perfect, which is God. But in committing mistakes, it may generally come in two forms; either intentionally, or...

jessigirl116 Simple rule- hurt me once, shame on you. Hurt me twice, shame on me. There won't be a third time. I think everyone deserves a freebie, accidents happen, emotions make our mouth say things before our brains hit the shut-off valve. BUT-- if we don't learn from...

Children running amok

MaryEllenG @MaryEllenG (35) • United States 5 May 09

How many of you get annoyed at out-of-control children in places of business? Yesterday I went to four different places: supermarket, department store, laundry, and library. In all these places there were children screaming,...

jessigirl116 Solution-- Better parenting. By that I mean we should have the right to whoop our kids if we feel the situation calls for it. I never had trouble with my kids in public. If they started a situation, I'd lean real close to their ear and whisper, "If you don't...

jessigirl116 Question-- Did 'they' give birth, or cause the birth of, the daughter in question?? No? I didn't think so. Pack up your kid(s) and move so you can give them a better life. It's selfish of these family members to want you to sacrifice your relationship with...

Happy 4/20

Myrrdin @Myrrdin (3599) • Canada 20 Apr 09

Happy 420 (pronounced four-twenty) everyone. Most people know that 420 is a slang term for marijuana, or more accurately smoking marijuana. The question is where does the term come from. Many stories about the history of this...

jessigirl116 Sorry, Myrrdin, I'm a bit lagging on my response time, but I'm sure you understand. I always thought 420 was a term coined by the working man to observe to last 10 minute break of the average 9-5 work day. Then us stoners hijacked it to use as our own. When I...

jessigirl116 My kids are supposed to come home, get an after-school snack, then get right on their homework. It's a responsibility thing. If they start their homework right away, they have plenty of time to get it done right. If they wait until 8pm, their time is limited...

Do you turn cellphone off when filling gas?

mystique838 @mystique838 (233) • Philippines 11 Nov 08

There's a sign in every gasoline station to turn cellphone off when filling gas for safety measures. This may trigger explosion. I often see people even talk on the phone while filling. I don't turn mine off. How about you?

jessigirl116 I live in Oregon and here it is illegal to pump your own gas, so I don't worry about it. I don't see the attendants on their phones, and I've never been asked to turn mine off. I have been asked to put out my cigarette. That kind of bugged me. I wasn't getting...
