fender bender, aging drivers

martindale @martindale (163) • United States 24 Jun 08

Do any of you notice that there are a lot of fender benders involving senior citizens? I think it's because they are going to slow or not going at all. I sit behind them at yield signs while they start and stop several times...

Hearing what you don't want to

martindale @martindale (163) • United States 17 Jun 08

There are times when I work that I am told secrets that I don't want to know. I am in a very personal position with my clients on a massage table, and the information I receive can be quite a burden. I work on entire families,...

road rage

martindale @martindale (163) • United States 15 Jun 08

Is it my imagination, or is road rage getting out of control on a much larger scale? In the last month, 2 people that work for me have had people actually get out of their car at a red light and tell them to get out of the car so...

Do you believe that the power of the mind is stronger than any illness you may get? Is it possible that we control a large percentage of what happens to us with our mind? I believe we are affected by external forces and chemicals,...

Make life harder, produce more worry, add responsibility

Why do we love our children so much? My children are polar opposites. They don't get along and both accuse me of taking the other's side on almost every issue. They break most of the things we used to treasure and are probably...

I'm not a person that believes there is only one soulmate for each person. I do believe that you can normally see a breakup on the way. Have any of you ever had a traumatic breakup hit you out of the blue, completely unexpectedly?...

moving around, stability, school

martindale @martindale (163) • United States 10 Jun 08

Is it bad to move often with your children, even within the same general area? Why is stability valued so much as as part of childhood. I stay in one place years for my children. It has never been important to me to live in one...

I thought I had plenty time

martindale @martindale (163) • United States 30 May 08

When I was young, men used to ask me to travel with them, but I always thought it was just so they could sleep with me, so except for a few small trips with boyfriends, I always said "NO". I thought I had plenty of time. I never...

People usually think I'm happy

martindale @martindale (163) • United States 30 May 08

I always appear happy. It's my job to make people feel better. I get a lot of gratification from relieving headaches, neckpain, and sore muscles. The hard part is seeming happy before I get to work on a body. I pretend that life...

How charming do I need to be to get friend invitations?

martindale @martindale (163) • United States 30 May 08

Wow, I'm a nice person. I found this site on my own. Nobody invited me, and after a week I only have one friend that I invited to be my friend. I'm usually easy to talk to. People tell me secrets all the time. I have juice on...

how people get along in the workplace

martindale @martindale (163) • United States 30 May 08

The hardest part of a job is getting along with everyone you work with. At my job, where we do massage, there are 4 of us that have been working together for 2 years. For the most part we all get along, but 2 are part-time. We are...

Relax or Torture

martindale @martindale (163) • United States 28 May 08

Do you believe that a massage should be painful? Should there be bruises and soreness that lasts days or a week? How far should a therapist go to make you feel "better"?

If you're sleeping with a married man, can you cheat?

martindale @martindale (163) • United States 28 May 08

I've noticed that a lot of married men have both a wife and a girlfriend. Do you think it is unrealistic for a woman to believe that he never has relations with his wife? Is it even more unrealistic of him to believe that the...
