Amfyre @Amfyre (512) • Canada 2 Oct 11

mamasaid Governments are trying to pick our pockets in any possible way and try to make it seem like it's for our own good. It's prejudice and dictatorial. It is up to each individual to decide what to eat. This doesn't help people, it just raises revenue. Education,...

To flu shot or not to flu shot...that is the question.

ravinskye @ravinskye (8237) • United States 28 Sep 11

Where do you stand on the flu shot? Do you get the flu shot? My daughter got it one year when she just happened to be at the doctor around that time. Other than that we've never had the flu shot. I haven't had the flu I think...

mamasaid It makes a difference when management rewards employees. I ran a law office for years and insisted we always show sincere appreciation on certain days - bonuses, spa trips, gift cards and letters of thanks. The people who worked for me were loyal, went above...

Two and a Half men got off to an interesting start

stealthy @stealthy (8181) • United States 20 Sep 11

With Charlie Sheen gone I might just watch it as it runs rather than in reruns. I was worried about Aston Kutcher coming in as the lead, though he had to be better than Sheen, but I think I may like him in the role. I just hope...

mamasaid I also like Rose, she is hilarious. But I have never been a fan of Ashton Kutcher so I won't be watching the new version, other than to catch a few minutes to see what Jon Cryer is up to (I do like him). Charlie Sheen was very funny and unique, don't think...

Relationships being destroyed due to high expectations.

CharleneCrush @CharleneCrush (66) • Netherlands 6 Oct 11

We see and read it all the time in magazines, movies, books and television shows. It's all about love. When we see those images, I bet more than half of us wants to reach that kind of romance. Where it's all sweet, we never fight...

Is being sexually attracted to someone the same as cheating?

CharleneCrush @CharleneCrush (66) • Netherlands 5 Oct 11

When you're in a relationship that lasted really long I think it's normal to feel attracted to other people as well. I don't think it's a feeling you can fight against since it comes out of the blue. Just like you can't help it if...

4 responses

mamasaid I think we can't help feeling attraction sometimes but if we dwell on those thoughts or fantasize about them, it becomes "emotional" or "mental" cheating. Guess it's about resisting temptation in our thoughts and actions.
