johnwoon I'm sorry you're having so much problem with cold weather. I can't help you much as I'm from the tropics! When I was in the UK in the 70's, I used to use electric heated blankets beside the heaters!

johnwoon I'm very happy for you for not having sleeping problem. I'm not so lucky! I'm a chronic long term insomniac. I always wake up easily and cannot sleep again after waking up. Any mild noises like closing doors would disturb my sleep. I'd normally get up to...

mulanmatu @mulanmatu (68) • Philippines 31 May 07

I am. I usually go to bed at 3 in the morning. I stay in bed until before noon. It makes me feel guilty. I wished to be more productive if I can, but when can I do? Is it something that I have a control over? Or, I just can't help...

johnwoon I'm in the same boat as you. I've tried all the suggestions posted in this forum but the insomnia refuses to budge! The only solution is sleeping pills.... meaning we're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea! If you never had this problem before...

Do you ever talk about people behind their back?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 30 Apr 07

I know it's wrong. It bothers me when I see people badmouthing others when they aren't around. But still...sometimes if a person is making me nuts, I feel the need to vent and I catch myself doing the very thing that I think is...

johnwoon Yes, bad mouthing others behind their back is a big No No. Try always to remember this motto: "If you have nothing good to talk about some one, keep quiet"

johnwoon Feeling lonesome when you're physically alone and feeling lonesome despite the presence of others near you are two different matters...the latter being more serious and needs immediate attention. It's natural that when you are alone, you'd feel lonesome or...

johnwoon It is relative whether one is old or not. You could be in your 80s and still very healthy and running miles every day. If this is the case, I won't call you an old man or lady! You're as young or as old as your body feels and behave! Actual age has nothing to...

johnwoon Tell the truth! That's what I'd do without feeling upset or uncomfortable. You should be proud of your age whatever it is. All levels of age have their significance. http://doexercise.blogspot.com

Can you face the fact that you are getting older?

arsena @arsena (293) • Germany 29 May 07

All of us get older. This is for sure. But some of us cannot accept it. They are hiding from the reality using plastic surgery and go to cosmetic and spa saloons. Me, I think each age has its own charm and we should live it as it...

johnwoon The minute we're born as babies, the aging process starts! And there's no stopping and turning back. Most would feel OK until they reach the age of 50s or 60s. It is not the look that bothers me but the loss of physical strength, memories, agility etc that...

Greenberry @Greenberry (77) • United States 24 May 07

johnwoon Getting older is one thing, getting old and retired from work is another. What I like about getting old is the fact that one gets wiser, general speaking. And the experience gained in life and work could be passed to others younger. However, getting old...
