mcjohnson7 No, I do not answer the phone if I don't know the number. 9 times out of 10 it's going to be a telemarketer and I hate those calls. That's why I have caller ID, so I don't have to answer those annoying calls at 8-10 o'clock at night or during dinner...LOL Good...

Creepy Houseguests...and They Might Be Staying...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 21 Sep 08

Right now we have two celebrities as houseguests. Thankfully they don’t ask for food, the bathroom, the phone or any form of entertainment. They’re a little nerve wracking but that’s just b/c of their looks. Who are they?? They...

mcjohnson7 How sad, my mother and father-in-law were the same as your parents. Only he didn't dumb himself down for anyone. I used to feel so sorry for her when he would correct or ridicule her. But it must have been okay with her, they were married for over 60 years and...

mcjohnson7 There have been some studies that show tea is good for you. Green tea is rich in anti-oxidants. So drinking tea could be a very good habit to get into.

Do you think it is a obligation to support our parents?

lixiaos77 @lixiaos77 (1030) • Shijiazhuang, China 20 Sep 08

My mother is ill these days. Although it is not serious, I worry about her very much. From I was a kid, my mother has been doing all her could to fill my needs and I wonder if I have done anything to thank her. Mother never ask me...

mcjohnson7 No, lixiaos, it is your privilege to support your parents not your obligation. No parent expects their child to support them when they are older. Every time you put your arms around your Mother, you thank her. Every time you tell her you love her, you thank...

mcjohnson7 I use both, like you, for different reasons. I do prefer Google most of the time. For some reason what I'm looking for is always at the top of the list on Google and it seems there aren't so many results to get lost in.

mcjohnson7 My goodness, I know that was scary for you! How fortunate it didn't turn out otherwise. My scariest moment was when my boyfriend's EX-wife held a gun on me and then shot me. I was lucky like you though. She was a really baaad shot.
