Today we spent two hours getting Hubby all dressed up, he's going to a memorial party and wanted to look his best. I cut his hair, trimmed his beard, he scrubbed his hands and trimmed his nails. Then we searched the closet for...

mend3z My father has been the same since he retired. He seems to think is able to wash himself properly by spending as little as 30 seconds in the shower! Still he has worked hard all of his life so I suppose he can do what he likes now.

Do You Have The Courage To Ask The Money Back From Your Friends?

Robben2009 @Robben2009 (146) • China 5 Aug 11

If one of your friends borrowed some money from you(not much), but he forgot to pay back, do you have the courage to remind him to pay the money back? I don't know how's your answer, but in China I believe that many people are...

mend3z I will always request the money back from my friends providing it is more than £5. If it is less than £5 I don't think it is really worth the hassle. Different people have different ways of dealing with money and I always like to repay my debts as a soon as...

I have a 2004 Mazda RX8, its a autostick and it has extremely slow acceleration until it gets to around 30 mph then it speeds up. Ive heard the manuals have a quicker acceleration and was wondering if this was true. The car looks...

mend3z I have a similar problem with my 2004 manual. This point has been briefly touched before but there is only power there when the revs are high. I find the car is almost sluggish until the revs get up to 4000rpm and then it just takes off, I have found this...

mend3z I prefer to comment on the discussions that have "no responses" I think the reason for this is so that I have a clear head and can't let other people's comments bias my views. Saying that I have only been using MyLot for a few days so things could...

Data Protection, Health & Safety, Security, etc. in Schools: How Far is Too Far?

pumpkinjam @pumpkinjam (8763) • United Kingdom 11 Jun 11

Do you think schools or parents take things too far? Is it really a "nanny" state? Or are procedures in place for good reasons? Do you think risk assessments, removal of risks, etc. is an infringement of rights or a necessity of...

2 responses

mend3z I think that this has all gone too far, not just in schools but generally. At work we need to phone customers as a courtesy to check they have received a delivery - apparently we need to ask the 3 security questions or we are in breach of the data protection...

mend3z I find if I am sad then doing something to occupy my mind helps enormously. I started off by going out for a bike ride - only for 5 minutes around the block initially and now have taking up canoeing and joined a gym! These things may seem like the last...

mend3z Whilst searching the Internet I have stumbled across some websites that pay for original photos so it might be worth trying these. I think another good way to make money would be to do photo shoots for newborn babies as every parent will be willing to pay...

mend3z I never used to but I have recently started going to the gym and must admit I have started buying tighter tops and short sleeved shirts to wear which I never used to do. I think that depending on the occasion it is acceptable to wear revealing clothes but...

Senseless senses

kareemadivina @kareemadivina (1230) • Philippines 12 Jun 11

I was listening to the radio this morning and one trivia caught my interest.It goes like this "If you would become immortal but have to give up 2 of your senses, what would it be and why?Most of the responders said touch,smell or...

trivia

2 responses

mend3z I would personally give up smell and taste. The reason for this is that they are that I have a real passion for driving, if I were immortal (which I'm quite glad I'm not) then I would still be fully capable of driving without the senses to smell or taste.

Customer service as a way to establish relationship with customers

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 10 Jun 11

So, I had many bad experience with customers service from the services I had previously or currently. One way I don't like is the way they talk to us, and the way they are so reluctantly to help us to solve the problem. The only...

Do you think women are more emotion than men?

thuthu635 @thuthu635 (23) • United States 10 Jun 11

I think women often express their emotions and rarely hide their feeling. They like to talk to everybody about their feeling. However, men think that they are stronger, and they can face problems without expressing emotions. When...

mend3z I do agree with you but I feel that this is gradually changing due to the way that society is. I think it is becoming more acceptable for men to show their emotions and I believe this is linked to equal rights and opportunities. Earlier this year I was...

mend3z It is always hard when coming to terms with a loss, it is important to remember the good times that you shared with that person and these memories will live on. A vicar once said to me that a funeral is a celebration of a persons life, those few words really...

Dating 101

AgentGulaman @AgentGulaman (3546) • Philippines 9 Jun 11

Anybody got some cool tips, tricks and ideas for dating? Especially for first dates. I'm looking for something that will really instill me on my date's mind. Care to share your dating experiences?

mend3z You need to do something unusual so that your date will remember you. If its a first date and the first time you have met I think it is best to go for a drink, the reason for this is that if you really don't get on from the word go then you only need to...

mend3z I found my laptop was getting hot and sometimes cut out. I use it a lot in bed so the bed cover was blocking the airflow of the fans. I have now put it on a wooden tray which allows air to circulate and it has been working fine ever since so it is worth a...

mend3z I don't think there should be a set time to wait, some people may never want to date again whereas for some people dating could be a way of coping with their loss. It is up to the widow or widower to decide and their decision shouldn't be judged by others.
