No tattoo allow

youless @youless (112586) • Guangzhou, China 23 Apr 17

We will have a trip to Japan in summer holiday and therefore I am planning the trip recently. I found a hot spring place in Tokyo. I read something about it. Hard to believe that the people who have tattoo are not allowed. I like...

Lynn It might seem weird, especially to those of us who live in countries where tattoos are becoming more and more widely accepted, but in Japan tattoos have a heavy association with the yakuza. They're so tightly intertwined with the idea of a criminal lifestyle...

Grumpy Horse says: What has ticked you off in the past week?

The Horse @TheHorse (220216) • Walnut Creek, California 10 Apr 17

Being a horse and psychologist isn't as hard as you might think. When I stomp my hoof once, it means, "I understand. Tell me more." When I stomp my hoof twice, it means, "You sound angry or upset about that." When I stomp my hood...

Lynn Home Depot. I placed an online order two days ago, and picked it up right before they closed last night. Didn't realize at the time that they'd given me the wrong item, so I had to take it back today. The customer service associates were chatting when I...

$100 more

Babygirlrae @carebear29 (31970) • Wausau, Wisconsin 5 Apr 17

So I found out that I need $100 more to get my iPhone unlocked. Cool thing is is that they are going to unlock it but until I pay the $100 off, I don't get the iPhone. That is fine by me so I am going to try my hardest to get make...

Lynn Seems really shady that they'd tell you that you need an additional $100 after you've given them the phone... and won't return it if you don't pay them that. Pretty sure that's called extortion. Get the phone back, sell it as-is, and use the proceeds plus...

My heart hurts and is broken completely now

Babygirlrae @carebear29 (31970) • Wausau, Wisconsin 3 Apr 17

So it has been a interesting but depressing last few days. The girl that my husband went to Milwaukee with almost 6 months ago shows up at my door to clear things up and telling me everything they did down there. Found out my...

Lynn If you're serious about leaving him, do it. There are resources available for single mothers that can help you get on your feet even if all of your ducks aren't quite in place yet. Reach out to the state department that administers the welfare programs like...

Lost and Desolate

Amber @AmbiePam (93871) • United States 3 Apr 17

I don't know how to help my grandmother. A lot of you are familiar with my posts, but for those who aren't, I'll give you short recap. My maternal grandmother is now residing in assisted living, and she had to sell her house to...

Lynn What about helping her find an organization that she can volunteer for, like a soup kitchen? She can help others in the community by doing what she loves.

Chris Bergstrom @chrissbergstrom (10767) • Banks, Oregon 3 Apr 17

Death of a EX

Faye Rucker @Gardengal64 (9) 31 Mar 17

I guess I'm asking if anyone else has been thru this. My ex-husband of 30 years passed away. I had to step in and take care of things because it seemed like no one else knew what to do or else they were just hanging back waiting...

Lynn There really isn't a right way to handle a situation like this that fits every person and scenario perfectly. If there are complaints from other family members, tell them that they were free to contribute at any time during the process. That they didn't, and...

Kids are brats

Jerin @EmrysCat (21) • United States 30 Mar 17

I have to babysit these five kids for money, right? Well, they are terrors. I have think they are being neglected by their single parent father. Seriously, even their moms split from this dude. Now I have them for ten to thirteen...

Lynn You need to call Child Protective Services immediately and file a report about the children's behavior. None of that is normal--a 4-year-old trying to kill another child by drowning them in the toilet, killing pets... that's sociopathic behavior right there,...

Thrift Store Finds 3/25

April @thislittlepennyearns (62928) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 25 Mar 17

So yet again, we stopped at the thrift store on the way home after grocery shopping this morning, and I went straight to the book section. I got nine books for $2.00 including a cook book. The books I picked up are: "Left...

Lynn It sounds like you came away with a great haul today! My husband has banned me from doing any thrifting for the foreseeable future. Once we get moved and settled into our new apartment I should be able to pick up the habit again. I've been focusing more on...

Family Court on Monday

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 25 Mar 17

Sadly we have another family crisis. History has a way of repeating itself and unfortunately it has again. I pray that this will turn out well. The worst case scenario could have been planning a funeral. Fortunately this...

Lynn I hope that she finds her motivation to do the work to get out of the darkness and stay there. Unfortunately, if she's not motivated to do it chances are that history will repeat again in the future. I'll keep your family in our thoughts and prayers....

Lynn I never do it... that's one of the perks of living in a state that (mostly) doesn't follow daylight savings time. We never have to worry about forgetting to reset our clocks for springing forward or falling back.

THAT Has More Bacteria Than A Toilet?

Richard L. Meister Jr. @RichardMeister (5328) • Otis Orchards, Washington 24 Mar 17

I heard it on the radio this morning. But for me it was no surprise since I had heard it several years ago. Just think. Every time you use these devices it may equal the same as if you stuck your hand into your toilet. Isn’t that...

Lynn There are a number of things that you can use to safely clean electronics. I personally use a bit of isopropyl alcohol on a microfiber cloth for most of my screens, or occasionally just a 50/50 vinegar & water solution. Apple doesn't recommend using alcohol...

How does it feel being without your phone??

Lynn I rely on mine way too much to go without it. I broke the screen on my old phone last Thursday, and I pretty much went home and ordered a new one. Using the old one wouldn't have bothered me, even with the broken screen, but it was too much of a hazard...

Lynn It's almost always because they've violated the guidelines. Sometimes they do it by posting advertisements, others it's because the person got really abusive to other members in their posts. Users who haven't broken the rules can request that admin close...

Lynn You're a part of the problem, because for some reason you chose to make a baby with a less than ideal partner. He honestly sounds abusive. Sitting there watching you when you're running out of breath and need water? Not respecting you enough to tell you where...
