Did you watch Oprah yesterday about social class?

knowitallgurl @knowitallgurl (923) • United States 4 Jan 07

This is a topic that fascinates me and so I recorded her show yesterday and watched it afterwards. Did you see it? What do you think about it? Is it true that the middle class is dissapearing and that it is harder now days to...

marryann I thought it was a great Oprah! You said "Almost to the point that I want to take some drastic measures with my kids to make sure they are secure for the future....education wise". I think that'd be a great step for your kids! I think education comes from...

Can it ever be cured

alfieboy @alfieboy (14) • Ireland 5 Jan 07

Looking back on my life, I now realise i've suffered from depression from an early age. This was probably brought on by events out of my control as a young child. It is only recently I have admitted to myself that I do actually...

marryann I don't think you can be "cured" but I think it is manageable through medication and through your choices and mindset. You need to actively assess yourself everyday and when you see a twinge of depression in your life, remind yourself that it can be okay. I...

marryann As a girl, I would never ask a guy out, not that there is anything wrong with girls who do, just not this girl. I always try to pay, but often the guy insists so I let him, but the next time, I pay without question, because I think it needs to be equal. It's...

Snacking in the Grocery Store

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 4 Jan 07

Do you grab a snack while shopping for groceries? I have occasionally opened a box of crackers and munched on them while shopping. It isn't good practice to shope while you are hungry. It is a proven fact that when you shop...

marryann I'd say keep calm, and cease to be angry, but certainly maintain being concerned. Voice your concerns to the pastor, and be sure to let him know the risks involved and that it is illegal. Being a pastor, one would assume he is a reasonable man. You should...
