ThrillerAssassin @ThrillerAssassin (295) • Philippines 12 Aug 11

In a lot of country (including my country), a lot of beggars are staying on the streets asking for some help. Though there are asking for food, the majority of these beggars ask for money instead. I do not agree with that. If you...

How important is work location to you?

chiyochan @chiyosan (30184) • Philippines 9 Aug 11

i mean, is it important that your workplace is quite near to where you live, so that you do not get stressed too much with the travel time from home to work and vice versa. I think for me, it is indeed very important because i...

lydiab I live in an area that requires driving on the highway to get most places. It is important that it takes me no more than 1/2 hr to get to work. Now that I work from home it isn't a problem but that was my main criteria when I did have a job. The further away...

lydiab Sounds like your cousin should be watching her position instead of putting fear in you. If you followed protocol for taking the day off no worries it just goes to show how rumors start. Getting close to a boss to learn more does not have to be done in a matter...

lydiab Before I became lactose intolerant I drink a gallon of milk a day. I love milk. So now I try to stay away from it but when the thought comes to have some chocolate milk on occasion I just sit back and enjoy then wait for the repercussions.

Do we really need a religion or a belief to feel peace?

yushi1905 @yushi1905 (38) • Malaysia 5 Aug 11

wongchoiyee @wongchoiyee (7413) • Malaysia 3 Aug 11

lydiab My opinion is that if the grandmother wants to charge for babysitting she should charge both her daughter and her son's wife. By choosing only to charge her son and daughter-in-law she is opening up a lot of controversy in the family that could last for years...
