Katie When it comes to the electric cars. I wonder just where do you plug them in at? I most certaintly do not want to run my electric bill up anymore than it is. I just can't see how it is even practical. If you did have a place to plug them in at when on the road,...

Katie I always hold the door open for someone else. I believe it is just plain good manners. My son has actually gotton out of the car and opened a door for an elderly person whom is struggling to get it open. It is nice that people still help others in this way.

Katie I think that your health is by far more important than money. My mother always told me that if you have your health you have everything. You could have all of the money in the world but if your feel bad and are in bad health than your not going to enjoy it.

akmalia89 @akmalia89 (41) • Indonesia 22 Mar 12

do you ever hate your husband for somethings that you don't like to do. like put dirty shirt in your bed. your husband don't want to help you with the housekeeping etc. but sometime, you miss him a lot when he went to work.

Katie Sounds like maybe your husband should show you a little more respect. He may work but he needs to realize that you do too. Have a talk with him about this and hopefully he will stop putting his dirty shirts on your bed and will help you more around the house.
