meiteoh Pretending that you didn't see anything is the worst thing that you can do. I'm a woman and I have stood up to a man who was roughing up his girlfriend in the middle of the street. Mind you, I'm not tall or big - just 154 cm and Asian to boot. There were at...

meiteoh I really don't mind being called either way - Mrs so-and-so or by my maiden name. It's just that it was tedious to change my name to adopt my hubby's when we got married so I have been using my maiden name. It kind of perplexed French people especially...

mermaidivy @mermaidivy (15394) • United States 28 Apr 09

In my home country, it is very common to have maid for families with kids usually. Because parents need to work all the time, they need somebody to clean up the house and take care of the kids. I personally don't like to have...

katran @katran (585) • United States 2 May 09

I realize that this is a controversial topic, and that is why I am starting it, to be honest. I have tried as much as possible to not take a side in this argument, because it is difficult for me. I come from a very religious...

meiteoh For starters... 1) Cut back on the coffee, tea, sweet stuff like soda and etc. Caffeine isn't good and neither is sugar. Juice is fine but make sure it's pure juice and not those with added sugar. Better still, opt for a fruit instead of its juice...

simplyshawn @simplyshawn (650) • United States 12 Apr 08

meiteoh If you're referring to fruitcake as in the classic fruitcake with mixed fruits and nuts, the answer is in the quality of the alcohol you put in plus things like honey and jam. Fruit mixes alone won't give it that oomph. Brandy and cognac is always best AND...

meiteoh First of all, let me say that it's perfectly okay to grief and cry for the loss of a baby. I feel your pain. I had a miscarriage in May last year when I was just 9 weeks pregnant. It was the case of a blighted ovum, I started spotting and later went to the...
