Is money everything in life? Will it satisfy your needs?

bhagavadgita @bhagavadgita (90) • India 7 Jul 10

I always feel that money is not everything in life. But, it is a part and parcel of everyone's life. Money can not buy happiness or satisfaction. It has to come within yourself. Even a very rich person will not have the courage,...

melloncollie This is a sad fact about life. Though money may not be considered as everything, it is very much part of the process of getting "most" of the things. Whenever we say, we just want one relaxing and peaceful day.... still it requires some money. So though we...

melloncollie I agree with you. Better teach them ways to earn money instead of giving them raw money. They won't be able to realize it's worth unless it's hard earned by them. If we keep on giving them money, all they'll ever come to know is that .. "Alright, let's just...

adeena2000 @adeena2000 (845) • Philippines 8 May 10

Can you sleep without a pillow? How many pillows do you have that you can't live without it. Do you have a favorite one? Me, I can't sleep without it. I have at least 5 collections of pillow. When I sleep, I put one in my head,...

melloncollie When I was still living with my folks, I used to have a favorite pillow. Never wanted it to be washed. Except of course the pillow case. I want it as it is. 4 pillows is heaven enough for me. 2 for my head, one for my legs and one that I can embrace. But of...

Bearballew @Bearballew (1148) • United States 8 May 10

So I'm thinking there are a lot of movies now about comic book and novel super heros. If you could marry one, say, Superman, Iron Man or the Flash, who would you pick and why? This should be fun!

batman

iron man

superman

melloncollie I have always been a fanatic of daredevil. So I guess elektra would automatically fall into the marrying type for me. No special powers of some sort. But really really good with fighting skills. I hope they make a movie about them though. would really be fun...

melloncollie There are so many factors that one has to consider before getting into the arena. Sad to say, LOVE is not enough. Unlike those hopeless romantics who preach that "Love will keep us Alive", the reality in marriage life is a lifelong learning process. Before...

melloncollie Like what Whitney Houston' song say, "... you can look back and know, you were loved. So remember to tell that special one... you were loved." What-ifs are the hardest to deal with. Once it's done, it's done. We cannot turn back the hands of time. So...

melloncollie Yes. Actually I think we are on the same boat. It does feel bad if we realize that we are the only one "wanting" or the only one "longing" and "trying to make time". I have been asking myself this question for the past few months now. Right now, I am in...

melloncollie My wife never ever gave included "losing her" as a choice. She always give me choices or always ask me to pick one from whatever it is she needs help deciding. But never was a time that she presented the "break up" option.

melloncollie I realized that I am not really good at initiating a discussion. But whenever an interesting idea comes, I do try to input it right away. I am more of a participator. I respond a lot. It feels good to always have a say to certain discussions. For me it means a...

melloncollie Yes I do try my very best. Although there are a lot of times when I couldn't help but inject "slang". Only to realize later on that the word I used might become a hindrance for some people to easily relate to my responses. I guess we also need to put in...

melloncollie This is a great idea. A time to hype and type. But then, we have different time zones. Weekend starts earlier than those in Europe or Americas. So a certain time should be agreed upon first. That would be a total crash out!

melloncollie When I respond to a discussion, hopes of getting the best response is not on my mind. I just "fire away" And if then I do get the best response then, "thank you" -- but if not -- it's fine by me, at least I was able to have a say in the topic and share my...

Couples Counselling

SuzyLong @SuzyLong (775) 6 May 10

Has anyone every tried couples counselling? I think that my husband and I have issues with but no matter what I do, it doesn't make the situation any better. I have tried talking to my husband but he says I'm just being silly.

melloncollie No. I don't think I would ever resort to that. I don't want other people meddling with my marital life. I always tell my wife whenever we get into a heated argument that we should always try to listen to what the other has to say with a loving ear. Not just...
