Im just a bit bothered today and I haven't been sleeping well for two days just thinking of some problem. It's not that big but it's bothering me for quite some time now. I know I can solve it in time and I just need a little help...

joepat That's the way to go Toni...prayers and positive thinking. I'll even get a few good words for you to the Lord - meaning, I'll pray for you too. Nothing waste more energy than worrying. The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets. It's only you who...

Which do you like: public or private hospital?

Polang @tkonlinevn (6438) • Vietnam 20 Mar 12

There are many private hospital in this city. I'm never examination or treatment there, because the cost is very high. And I don't know the doctors are good or not. I heart many the bad things about private hospital. Such as:...

joepat From where I come from it is better to find and choose a private hospital. It would be a bit expensive but one stand a better chance of getting better service and medical attention than in public hospitals. Public hospitals in my place go by the lyrics of the...

Is your life like a soap opera?

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 27 Jan 12

Some people are prone to drama. Whereas others have 'normal' (maybe to the point of being 'boring') lives. My boss is like the first - drama seems to follow her around. There is ALWAYS something going on. She gets in huge blow-out...

joepat Have you heard of the so-called "astral travel"? Well the way I understand it is that point in time before one dies - before he breathe his last that his spirit or soul or whatever leaves his physical body and goes back in time to rewind scenes of his past...

joepat Isn't this the facts of life eunife? If one is poor he needs to toil from dawn to dusk to earn his "bread". But if one is rich he can just take it easy and let his money work for him; as the saying goes: "money begets money". One may be born poor but that does...

What is child abuse for you?

jazel_juan @jazel_juan (15746) • Philippines 28 Mar 11

I came across an article today about Willing Willie. Another issue on that show again, i am not fond of watching his show since i find it too annoying at times plus for the sake of money those people will cry will laugh will dance...

joepat I thought it was a case of child abuse until I saw the video. I am no fan of Willie R., in fact, I find the guy a show-off, a brute and a brat more so now that he has lots and lots of money. But not to millions of our masses, people in the grassroots of...

joepat Personally, I don't like to look at dead people specially relatives in their caskets. It's like looking at death in the face. It is so morbid. More so that I am not in favor of taking pictures of the dead during funerals for reasons of posterity or whatever. I...

joepat Ha ha ha...nothing could be more appropriate to tell your 6-year old grandson. I do appreciate his mom's answer to him. When asked about the role of the father, I would have answered him this way: God was the supervisor, the doctor's job was to bring out the...

joepat Sure I will. Anything or any part of my body that could still be useful just to save a life. At least it would be nice to think that when I'm gone there are still some parts of me that live in some other person's body.

joepat This is such a morbid discussion but anyway I still feel reacting to it. On my tombstone will be this statement: "I have lived my life to the fullest for I know I can only be here but once and shall not pass this way again."
