Is it a traditions or customs to bring "doggy bag" in a restaurant?

Shavkat @Shavkat (139937) • Philippines 22 Jul 12

I have noticed, that whenever a family or relatives go for a meal in a restaurant. They always asked for a "doggy bag" from the leftovers of their meals,supposedly for their pets at home. What do you think about this? Is it an...

Kojigirl My mother owns a restaurant, and we've never minded people wanting to take things home, for their pets or otherwise. I think it's a compliment, it means the food was good enough for another meal. I actually have had dogs for years, so I do try and take...

Have you ever had a metal plate in your body, then had it removed?

Kojigirl @Kojigirl (188) 22 Jul 12

A couple of years ago I broke my leg, bad enough to need a metal plate and ten screws to fix the tibia. The doctor at the time said that I'd need to have the plate out, but because my husband is so unwell I haven't been able to...

Making a will is important !

kiran8 @kiran8 (15348) • Mangalore, India 8 Jul 12

A will is, in fact, the simplest way to ensure that your funds, property and personal effects will be distributed according to your wishes after your death ! By making a Will you not only ensure that your children are secure, you...

Kojigirl While making a will is important, especially if you have children, don't for a single second believe that what you put down in black and white is actually going to be carried out. My mother in law had a will, we have a copy, and when she died her daughter told...

Are you waiting for that "something much better??

smurfysmurf @smurfysmurf (651) • Philippines 8 Jul 12

I just saw a status update on Facebook from my close friend and it really hits me. It says that "God will never take anything away from you without the intention of replacing it with something much better." For my friend, it...

Kojigirl What a load of codswallop! Replace it with something better? What's God going to replace my husband's degenerating brain with what, exactly? What's going to be better than what he had? Because, as it is, he can't walk, his memory is rubbish, and his dementia...

why are parents so overprotective?

shansavy @shansavy (171) • Jamaica 8 Jul 12

ok say an 18 year old came in at 2 in the morning. is that really a big deal especially if that person is going to move out in a matter of weeks?

Kojigirl Or one could argue, why are 18 year olds so ungrateful for everything their parents have done for them? And why are they so disrespectful as to not obey the rules of the house until they move into their own homes? When you move out, it's up to you, but until...

Tampa Bay is starting to come back!

flpoolbum @flpoolbum (2978) • United States 9 Jul 12

Many people complain about President Obama. I can't speak about any other part of the country, but Tampa Bay is showing many signs of recovery. I live in Pasco County (north of Tampa) and work in Pinellas County (west of Tampa). I...

Kojigirl My family lives in Punta Gorda, and on occasion (I live in England) I will look at some of the house websites to see what's on the market. It's all vicariously, as we couldn't move due to hubby's health. But in the past few months the houses have started...

Im thinking of selling my TV!

911Ricki @911Ricki (13588) • Canada 9 Jul 12

I have had this TV for a few years now. I would say at least 5 now but it works perfectly. I rarely use it actually and most of that time I was in college and it just sat collecting dust. Its a bulky tv, its large, and right...

Kojigirl Good luck selling it. I'm sitting here in England with a flat screen that won't sell. We've tried giving it away, no one wants it. I had a bed base that was on a few Freebie sites, and no one wanted that, either, so I took an axe to it to vent my frustrations...

Stubbed my toe - ooh the pain!

MsTickle @MsTickle (25180) • Australia 24 Jun 12

I just stubbed my toe...it's really cold here and I have socks on but it's still hurting. Does it hurt more do you think when we stub our toes in frigid weather? I've known people who've stubbed their toe or dropped something...

Kojigirl I once broke the three smaller toes on my right foot as I ran from my bedroom to answer the phone. The phone was the other end of the house, and I had to go through the den and caught my foot on the leg of the sofa. Pain? A stubbed toe is a walk in the park...

Kojigirl Good for you. I know, a lot of people put all their hopes and dreams into bricks and mortar, but just because it works for some it's a bit unfair to expect it to work for everyone. If I can give you any advice, before you rent you should talk to others in the...

Kojigirl For all the grandeur of the whole event, the BBC screwed it all up by treating it as a third-rate game show, with every D-List celebrity they could drag out of the gutters so they wouldn't actually have to show and discuss the actual River Parade. What the...

Adding insult to injury..

mobhomeir @mobhomeir (7558) • Philippines 3 Jun 12

You've been down for quite a long period of time and instead of encouraging you to move on, you've been downgraded by your own in-laws. You felt like being insulted or persecuted. So frustrating especially if you will hear from...

Kojigirl Ah, the Monster In Law, I know it well. I obviously don't know this particular dragon, but let me give you a bit of advice from a woman who has seen a lot through the years: no matter who her daughter married, she was going to hate him and belittle him. If you...

Help! Drowning in measurements

joyceshookery @joyceshookery (2057) • United States 6 Jun 12

Hello myLot math wizards. My friend pays me $10 for a scarf that's 6" x 60" (she buys the yarn). Now she wants a sweater and asked how much I'd charge. i told her $40-50. "But I'm buying the yarn," she replied. My thought is...

equivalents

Kojigirl Hang on, why is this about measurements? Surely, your time and skill are worth more than the value of the yarn! If you can knit, and she can't, then it makes sense that you should charge accordingly. I have a friend who bakes wonderful cakes, they are to die...

have you tried climbing at your own house? :P

annavi23 @annavi23 (6522) • Philippines 9 Jun 12

Have you tried it? Well, for instance of course, you left the key somewhere and you have to get into your house since there was a spare key inside. It's funny how people do this...feels like a thief on your own...

Kojigirl No, and at my age I don't think I'll start any time soon. Actually, we leave a key with our neighbor just in case we get locked out, which has only happened a couple of times over the years. The real reason she has a key is in case we get held up at the...

Kojigirl Well, I'd be long dead now, so I don't think I'd have much been bothered. Dead at forty or not, I wouldn't have married and had kids, not a chance. If I only had a designated time on earth, I wouldn't waste it on that. The world would be in such a mess, no one...

Kojigirl You have more self control than I do. Someone did that to me when I was at uni and I punched him in the face. Hard enough to make his nose bleed. Then I told him that if he ever tried to grab me again I intended to aim a lot lower.

Kojigirl If she's anything like my friend Kerry, she just flat out cannot cook. Kerry could burn water, and that's using a timer. Like some people can't grow flowers, and others can't sew (that would be me) some people should not be allowed into any kitchen where the...

Kojigirl I'm going to assume, as I'm not on here much and am unfamiliar with you, that your sister doesn't have kids. With all the best parents, the kids come first, and then the parents come somewhere after the house and car, etc. Most of us would like to change the...
