Do you sometimes enjoy being alone or by yourself?

CharRay7 @CharRay7 (1549) • United States 4 Aug 08

Hi, I live with my hubby (and my five dogs). He does work during the week but he's here whenever he's not at work. You have to understand, I do love him dearly, but sometimes I just like being alone. He went up north to his...

mjgarcia I love my family, but I adore having time to myself. I don't have to be a short order cook, a maid, or a taxi. I can work on a project that I want to do instead of my husband calling me to help with his. Its nice to watch a chick flick on tv without everyone...

I am the oldest of six kids. All of them can swim except me. I am terrified of the water. This past week our Grandchildren was here. We took them to the local city pool. They loved it. I dont think they will have a bit of problem...

mjgarcia Nope. I tried swimming lessons when I was a kid. I was in water over my head and had tired out from swimming from one side to the other. I was going under and swallowing water until I managed to get to where I could touch bottom. My "teacher" stood on the side...

illegal immagration: should the u.s send immagrants back across the border?

sweetjeanie @sweetjeanie (121) • United States 9 Jul 08

Do you think illegal immigrants should be taken back across the border? In my opinion, I think they should. They are ILLEGAL for a reason, and why should they be here just as easy as the legal immigrants? Why should the others...

mjgarcia I agree with you. The fact that they are here illegally shows that they don't have respect for our country or the rules here. A lot of them want us to bend to accomadate them, why should we become the country that they just fled from? I'm in Texas, and there...

mjgarcia I wanted to be a writer. I lived in a world of fictional books back then. But who has time to read much now? I do still write, but not as steady as I'd like. Instead I became an overweight mother of three that does dead end jobs. The current is a file clerk...

Book Series that you like

princess12toes @princess12toes (9) • United States 6 Jul 08

often I will read a book and think "wow! That was a great character in the book, and now... now, I don't want to break up with them" Nora Roberts tends to write in groupings and trilogies so I feel more closure, I am falling in...

mjgarcia I like Sue Grafton's series. Her PI Kinsey Milhone is down to earth and I can follow her line of reasoning. My mother likes the series written by Janet Evonovitch (May have spelled it wrong). The farther she gets into the series, the more humorous her...

mjgarcia It works. When I was a kid I found out that if I did something wrong and told on myself before my sister did, I didn't get into much trouble. But now my husband tells me that I tell too much. Sometimes it feels like I can't win. :)

Your role in your kid's education

vsraovsr @vsraovsr (734) • India 30 Mar 08
