Why do you think the poor people get poorer and the rich getting richer?

maiohmai @maiohmai (82) • Philippines 6 Feb 10

Both the poor and the rich have 24 hours a day but if you observe how they spend their 24 hours you will find out that the rich work harder than the poor. When you listen to what the poor and the rich talk about during a 24 hour...

melon007 I do agree that poor people get poorer and rich people get richer. I think this is true because they are giving so much thought to their surroundings. It is easy to worry about money when you do not have any, just as it is to not worry about money. I...

venshida @venshida (4836) • United States 26 Jun 09

melon007 I will gladly trade places with you. It is 92 degrees outside here and I hate it. I would love it to be 60 and rainy. I hate the summer months because I cannot handle the heat. I like it to be between 60-70 degrees. Even my house stays hot. Ugh.

melon007 I personally do not think there is anything wrong with this, but I am a woman. Most of us don't care who makes more. For men it is a little different. It goes back to the old classification where men were the ones that got the jobs and supported the family....

Fast food gives me stomach problems, why?

ajithlal @ajithlal (14716) • India 7 Apr 09

Sometimes when I take food from outside I get stomach problems. Is it because it is old food or is it because of anything they add during making food or is it just psychological thinking because I am eating food outside I am...

Do you still try to smell the flowers?

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27560) • Philippines 1 Jul 09

My garden is in bloom. Lots of wildflowers, chichirica, forget-me-nots and the little white fragrant sampaguita. Sampaguita smells like jasmine. The older folks like picking a few and tucking them underneath their house dresses....

melon007 I do still stop to smell the flowers. I have always done that. It is just the simplest things that bring me joy. My favorite is the dark purple iris that I have planted in front of my house. I had it as a kid and it has always brought back such great memories....

melon007 I am a fan of good ol home mashed potatoes. My grandmother makes the best I have ever had. I think that is because she uses about a half gallon of milk and a pound of butter. They are so creamy and delicious, especially with pork chops. Yummy.

melon007 The most important thing for me when driving a long distance is music. I have to have loud music when driving. It really sets the mood for being on the road that long. I also have to have water, but the music is far more important. I have to have it on normal...

melon007 Energy drinks in general are not good for your health. As far as Red Bull is concerned, it just came out in the news that it is made with cocaine. So no, it is not very good for you.
