fair weather friend

mswriter @writergirl74 (802) • United States 13 Jul 11

For about 12 years now, I have had this friend who I considered my "best" conversational friend. I mean I could call him and talk to him about anything and up until a few years ago, anytime. I secretly had a crush on him, but I...

jwill3 First of all, I feel bad that you're feeling so bad right now. I'm sure we've all been in that position where we liked someone and then find out later they didn't like us back so much. But I got a piece of good advice from someone one time (and it was a guy!),...

Inducing labor

harmonee @harmonee (1228) • United States 13 Jul 11

I'm pregnant with my second child and if I don't go into labor by Monday, the doctor will induce. I was wondering if any of you have been induced before and what your experience was like. Also if there are any suggestions on how...

jwill3 Don't be scared about inducing labor in a hospital. Inducing labor brings the contractions on faster and (I won't lie a little harder too). But I also had an epidural with my labor. I think from the time my water broke (trickled that is) to the time I...

dating a younger man

mswriter @writergirl74 (802) • United States 13 Jul 11

I am interested to know on what some of you think about an older woman dating a younger man. Let's say the woman is ten years older. I see men date younger women all the time and it's not frowned upon, but I hear if a woman dates...

jwill3 Forget about it!!!! If an older woman is dating a younger man, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Age is but a number, it's hard enough finding compatibility these days. I don't think people should get hung up anything as trivial as what's printed on...

How you deal with failure?

didi13 @didi13 (2926) • Romania 13 Jul 11

You thought that everything goes as you planned, reviewed every detail of the action that would have provided a interprinzi and success ... have reviewed all elements that could interfere unpredictable and you've realized that's...

failure

jwill3 How to deal with failure, for myself, is to see it as another opportunity for what I can do better next time. I used to get disappointed when things didn't work out the way I wanted, but now I just see it as another door of opportunity. Kind of like the Price...

Stand up!

Toni @toniganzon (72533) • Philippines 12 Jul 11

If you're sitting down while reading this discussion you might think of standing up instead! I just read an article that says most people who sit regularly are going to gain more weight even if they exercise...

jwill3 Sitting down too much at work or home can not only make your butt spread, but it can also affect your digestive system as well. No blood flow = systems not operating to capacity.

Hat fashion changes again.

petersum @petersum (4522) • United States 14 Jun 11

This news item caught my eye today. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110613/pl_afp/usmilitaryuniform The US Army is no longer wearing the beret. It got me thinking about all the silly headgear that is worm by military personnel...

jwill3 I don't know why the US Army ever implemented the beret across the service, in the first place. Well actually I do, because supposedly the beret was to make the soldier feel more elite, like the Green Beret (now called SF, or Special Forces). Since I was once...

hand me downs

mswriter @writergirl74 (802) • United States 7 Jul 11

I personally don't have a problem with hand-me-down clothes if they are in good condition. I heard an associate of mine say the other day, "I'm not wearing those...they've already been worn". Now, these clothes were like really...

jwill3 Wearing hand me downs, or wearing used clothing, is a good financial decision. The higher end brands are usually my preference, because they tend to last longer. Why pay three times the amount for new clothing, when you can still get good quality clothing for...

She turned in her own kids!

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12588) • United States 7 Jul 11

I was just watching a video on yahoo. A woman who was watching a news report saw her on children stealing on a surveillance video. She went to the police station and turned them in! WOW! On one hand I say good for her, on the...

jwill3 I would possibly turn in my kids for stealing, especially if they had done it before. Of course you can always work something out with the owner, like paying the costs of the stolen merchandise, putting a good scare into your kids, but avoid police charges....
