What do you do with clothes you no longer fit into?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 22 Mar 10

When you lose a considerable amount of weight, what do you do with the clothes that are too big for you now? Do you give them away? Or hold on to them just in case? I've gotten rid of most of my clothes that I no longer fit...

nubchai For things like coats and sweatshirts I donate them to my church which turns around and gives them to a local homeless shelter. I've given other clothes away though an organization called Freecycle. If I know I'm never going to fit into the clothes again, it's...

Pocket money for children - good or bad in the long run?

udayrao2 @udayrao2 (781) • India 22 Mar 10

I have asked this because of a recent discussion in my family.When young I never had a "pocket money" sort of - whenever I needed I would ask for an amount to spend on what I wanted, and if my parents thought it reasonable I would...

nubchai I think giving a child pocket money or an allowance is a good idea especially if they have to do some weekly chores to earn the money (washing dishes, running errands whatever). If a child never has money then how will they learn to manage money?

Why do you think God does not answer all our prayers?

candyfairy21 @candyfairy21 (2039) • Philippines 23 Mar 10

Have you seen Bruce Almighty? I'm thinking what if God switched places with me like He did with Bruce every time I keep reminding Him about my unanswered prayer? What would I do if I were to take his place and God takes a...

nubchai I think that God does answer all prayers. It's just that sometimes he doesn't answer them in the way that we'd like. If you believe that God is all-knowing then you have to accept that the answer you get is the right one. I haven't seen the movie but i think...

Is that mean, without money, forget about education?

Last night, I was having dinner with two of my friends. One is still in college. We were discussing about the expenses of college tuition. She is a full - time student, and she got the Hope scholarship to back her up, but the Hope...

nubchai This is a tough one. But your son is a young man now and I think you have to respect his wishes. It doesn't sound like his father has really been a father to him and they don't have a relationship. If there's anyone you know with a video camera could they...

i believe that if you throw a ball upwards it will fall back down. i also believe that if you get yourself into a serious relationship there is a big chance that you will get hurt. belief systems are the basis of how we decide...

nubchai Your examples relate to how some people can achieve great academic or physical success and others either struggle or can't achieve the same success. If you eliminate diferences like core physical or mental ability I think what you're really looking at is...

Feeding time.

MsTickle @MsTickle (25180) • Australia 22 Mar 10

I see lots of people only give their cat or dog dry food. I don't think it's enough. Is dry food a complete diet for our animals? My cat gets both dry and wet throughout the day as required. My dogs get dry in the morning and...

nubchai I think the dry cat foods are nutritionally complete. But with a dry food diet you really have to make sure your cat gets a lot of fresh water. I switched over to wet food and feed my two cats in the morning and in the evening. I'll also give them some dry...

Seeing Movies In Theaters

DarthJustice @DarthJustice (2014) • United States 22 Mar 10

I just responded to a discussion a few minutes ago that got me to thinking. That particular discussion was about seeing movies in theaters alone. Something I said got me to thinking. When was the last time you saw a movie in...

nubchai We saw the Hurt Locker in a local theater about a month ago. Before that it had been well over a year since I'd seen a movie in a theater. Because of the sound system and of course the big screen, it was neat seeing the movie in the theater. But it's really...
