Her own fault?

SViswan @SViswan (12051) • India 2 Nov 08

Last month, a television journalist in Delhi, India was killed on her way back from work. Though the Delhi Chief Minister said she regretted the death, she said the journalist should not have been so 'adventourous' as to travel in...

ms_rita66 In a more perfect world, anyone can work until 3am and drive home without the fear of being killed. In our world, however, that is not always the case. Death and mayhem can happen at 3am or 3pm; it can happen to a man, woman or child. As a woman, I have found...

How did I ever live with one of these?

relundad @relundad (2310) • United States 1 Nov 08

I was thinking earlier that there are a few things that we consider vital in life that once before were unheard of. Now I am only 42 years old but some of these things that I thought of, for at least half of my life I didn't have...

ms_rita66 I grew up in Hawaii and rice is the main staple in any dish. Eating a meal without rice and using bread or potato's was unthinkable, but having lived away from Hawaii for many years I've grown accustomed to not eating rice as often. That's only because I...

Do you the same way; no matter who you meet?

hdjohnson @hdjohnson (2981) • United States 23 Oct 08

I think a lot of people have multiple personalities? I say this, because they act one way around me, but totally different around other people. I am normally not the talkative type of person. So everyone who knows me an meets...

ms_rita66 It's funny how the phrase "multiple personalities" conjurs images of straight jackets and padded cells. But it's an accurate statement, I think. I know that I act and behave differently around different people. Perhaps it has something to do with perception...

Are you an open book?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 23 Oct 08

Or do you like to keep to yourself? Are you comfortable with telling strangers all about yourself and your past? Me, I'm an open book. I don't mind talking about myself or my past, I actually enjoy it, even the things that...

ms_rita66 I like this question, it really made me think, especially since I love books. I don't think I've ever been an open book, even as a child. I was probably more willing, as a child, to share a lot of pages in my book, but I never read the whole chapter out loud...

do you think life is what you make it?

thickdogg @thickdogg (39) • Bahamas 23 Oct 08

Do you think life is what you make it? I don't. I think this is a saying made up by rich or well off people in order to make themselves feel superior and make others who struggle in life feel inferior. For example let's say I have...

ms_rita66 I acknowledge the premise that often those who have wealth, status, and abundant opportunities are apt to make broad, sweeping statements such as "life is what you make it." But even if you consider the source, it doesn't negate the fact that each individual...

Is A Person's Past Important or Relevant In A Current Relationship

soul_life24 @soul_life24 (18) • United States 23 Oct 08

A co-worker came to me today about a problem he was having in his current relationship. To me he is a good guy, a hard worker, punctual, and does what is asked of him. I've went to bat for him when our job tried to stiff him on a...

ms_rita66 When my brothers and sister and I were kids, we found out (through sheer nosiness) that my oldest brother was from our mother's previous marriage (that's also when we learned mom had been married before). Talk about your shocking revelations! I was about 7 at...

About to lose a great friend

Munhozmib @munhozmib (3836) • Sao Paulo, Brazil 23 Oct 08

Hello, all! I am feeling really bad. I had this friend, a girl, for a long while. She was one of my greatest friends, but then we got away from each other. No harms nor anything, we just got into different groups. Now, I was...

ms_rita66 I'm sorry that things are difficult with you and your friend. There really is no fault here, it's just that for one reason or another you both began walking in different directions. I think the hardest thing about friendship is sometimes having to stand...

Do you always wake up to the sound of the alarm clock?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (14078) • Philippines 6 Oct 08

I, myself, use the alarm clock if I want to wake up in time,,especially if I haven't slept well the previous evening. I have read somewhere though that getting used to the alarm clock could decrease your will power....

ms_rita66 If I know that I absolutely need to get up at a certain time, I tell myself over and over again, just before bed, that I need to get up by that time. I find that it works for me. The downside, however, is that my subconscience doesn't really allow me to sleep...

ms_rita66 I hear what you're saying. By the time I get home from work and get the family fed and kids in bed, the wee hours are about the only time I have to myself. I can read through my emails from friends, bank online, do a little window shopping, and surf through...
