whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 6 Oct 08

I work with this guy and his girlfriend and he gave notice last week. He has no job lined up he is just tired of this one. He plans to rest for a few weeks then look for a better job. In the meantime the girlfriend works full time...

jmessina Sounds like this guy is not very mature. The way the economy is going he may be resting for a very long time. Many years ago you could quit your job and find another one with not too much trouble. You can not do this today in this economy. Like I said,...

Do men really hate shopping?

positiveminded1977 @positiveminded1977 (7072) • India 21 Aug 08

Won't it be a generalization if I say "men hate shopping"? I am a woman, and I hate shopping, and I have heard that women are supposed to be fond of shopping. In fact, I go shopping only when I am forced to, and even then, I can't...

jmessina You are not alone. My wife hates to go shopping for clothes and only does it when she has to go to a special occasion or family function. She will also wait until the last second before running to the store. I also hate shopping and will only go when I...

pain killers

esrine @esrine (35) • Bahamas 15 Jul 08

Those of you who take pain killers have you ever stop to wonder if the pill you take is killing you or saving your life. I ask this because every time you pick up a pack or a bottle there are so many different side effects....

jmessina Any medication you take is no good for you. It's a question whether you want to live with the pain or not. Chronic pain should never go untreated and taking pain medicine is only masking the real problem.

jmessina Children should not be banned at the church ceremony. Don't know why clergymen want to change anything. This is part of life and some children are noisy. If they get out of hand just escort them out of the church. This is how it works and should remain this...

jmessina It's common to give money at a wedding. Money will help the couple pay for all their wedding expenses. Gifts are given at the bridal shower and the couple usually gets everything they need at the shower.

What do you do when the electicity goes out?

CharRay7 @CharRay7 (1549) • United States 15 Jul 08

I just hate it when the electricity goes of because of storm, etc. I find that there is nothing to do. Maybe I am so wrapped up in technology that I've forgotten what it is like without the TV, internet,...

jmessina When the lights go out, which is not often in NY, I light a candle and read a book. Or I may just listen to my mp3 player and fall asleep. Hopefully when I wake up the electricity are back on.

Brooke @o2bnocn (2992) • United States 28 Jun 08

I just went to the grocery store and bought just a little bit of food. It ended up costing about $80.00 bucks. I think thats is outrageous and I feel like the cost of food is just going up and up. There are currently 5 people...

jmessina There is no such thing as a cheap lawyer. Have you tried Family Court? That would be the best route to go if expenses are an issue.

jmessina I know the feeling of power outages. I went through a few of them myself. There was only one thing I could do and that is to sit outside and talk to your neighbors. The house was too hot to sit in front of a candle and read a book. Some people may not even...

Which Is More Outrageous - $4 For a Cup of Coffee or a Gallon of Gas?

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 2 Jul 08

I couldn't believe it when I heard the results of a poll Greta VanSustren had on her website last night - the question was which do you think is more outrageous, paying $4.00 for a cup of Starbucks coffee or for a gallon of gas...

jmessina For some people, $4 for a cup of coffee is more important that gasoline. For me it's $4 for a gallon of gas. I would never pay more than $1.00 for any cup of coffee. As for gasoline you don't have much of a choice when you have to use your car to go to work...

LadyT1208 @LadyT1208 (181) • United States 30 Jun 08

Life after death?

yaksters @yaksters (79) • United States 2 Jul 08

Is there life after death? I say there is, and I believe that I have proof. In the first part of April of this year, my doorbell began to ring when nobody was there. My television would go on and off. The volume would change. It...

jmessina You are correct, life goes on after our bodies die. That was your brother trying to let you know that he is still around. That is all the proof you need. When our body dies we just leave and continue to live in another dimension called the spirit world. I...
