Jifrauen I went to a friend's house the other night and we had a bowl of chili. After dinner, she pulled out a pumpkin pie, topped with whipped cream. It was delicious. I knew it was fall. Everytime I bite into pumpkin pie, I get chills. I love the fall, the change,...

Jifrauen I am kinda on the other side of that. My ex seems to still have feelings for me, even though I do not have feelings for him. He told me about these feelings a while ago, but I didn't know what to say. I wasn't going to lie to him and make the situation worse,...

child discipline

figurativeme @figurativeme (1089) • Philippines 16 Sep 10

Jifrauen I believe in spanking the child for discipline and training and not out of anger. If you spank out of anger, you are telling the child that violence is ok. What I would advise is that you explain to the child what they did wrong and then follow it with their...

Why do people make fun of others when walking down the street?

sauravshrm @sauravshrm (239) • India 16 Sep 10

Why do people find the need to laugh at someone who's just minding their own business walking down the street? I'm talking about snickering, giving dirty looks, whispering and pointing to their friends to laugh too or making sure...

Jifrauen It is very mean and spiteful. I think people do it to boost their self-esteem as well. It usually results from some insecurity they have in themselves. The think that pointing out other people's flaws and imperfections takes the attention away from their...

RobinJ @RobinJ (2501) • Canada 16 Sep 10

I am in a place where I do not like to be. I have been lied to and my biggest pet peeve is people who lie to me. Do they think I am stupid and do not know the difference. Why do people lie about silly and not important things. To...

Jifrauen I hate being lied to too, but I try not to let that bother me as much. Most of my friends and I have an honest relationship. We are pretty laid back so we don't have reason to lie about the small or big things. We learn to work through most of our problems....

Jifrauen I really like watching reality TV. Not that it is really reality, but it is real people doing real life things. I love Amazing Race and Biggest Loser. It puts people in stressful situations and forces their true nature to come out. I don't watch a lot of TV...

Jifrauen I do not use MyLot like a diary. You never know where your information on the internet can be spread or whose eyes are reading it. I do not discuss my personal life in details. I do give my opinions, but don't impress them upon people.

Jifrauen Please don't go to work if you are sick. (Unless you are not contagious) If you are feeling bad, stay home and rest. I understand that some people really need the money, but if you are not getting the work done well, it is almost a waste of the company's money...

What would you do with a dress made of duct tape?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160708) • United States 15 Sep 10

Live-in vs. Marriage

len1415 @len1415 (195) • Philippines 15 Sep 10

Practicality wise, some would say to live together before marriage would let you know and realize if your partner is the right one for you. You'd get to know what kind of person your partner is and vice-versa. You'd both be able...

Jifrauen Marriage is sacred. It is a covenant. It is not to be taken lightly. Living together before marriage seems practical, but there is so much more (emotional, physical, spiritual, ect) that goes into it. It is best to get counseling before engagement/marriage. In...

Jifrauen I am always early or on time. I was taught growing up that if you were 5 minutes early, you were on time, if you were on time, you were late. It is also a consideration for other people's time. You are being disrespectful and inconsiderate when you show up...

Jifrauen As long as quality isn't sacrificed, I am ok with buying local or non-branded items. I do have a few items that I will spend the extra money on. Toilet paper - I don't buy the cheap stuff, it is rough and thin. It is worth it to me to spend a little more moeny...
