Polly289 What I'd like to know is, what is revenge rating? And, does it really matter? Why would anyone want to do that. If your rating has gone down could it be because the question didn't rate (pun intended) a mention? I'd really like to know. PS How do you know...

Polly289 Cor, you, I believe, are one of the truly lucky ones. If your mother-in-law wants to spend time with you then I feel certain she'd be happy with whatever you decide to do, within reason. So why not take her out to lunch and then, if she likes shopping, Do...

Are you a procrastinator?

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 4 Aug 09

There is an old proverb that says "Procrastination is the thief of time" and a great many of us would have to agree. It can be in the small as will as in the big things of life. Whether it's that book that we had planned to write,...

Polly289 If procrastination is the 'thief' of time, then you'd better put me in jail coz I'm the absolute worst. I'll put of just about everything until something, someone or a situation forces me to deal with it. Sad eh?

Polly289 There is no shame in having a second income. Seems a shame you had to forgo your studies to help you survive, but this is a sign of the times. Financially, we cannot study without help. If you are young and without the added responsibilty of children etc, it...

Polly289 No truer words were ever written and there is no running from that fact. The worry never goes away even when you know they'll be alright. It is what a mother does second best. You could be 90 and your mum will still worry about you. My mum does about me and...

Would you say that chess is a hard game to learn?

Link @BambooPanda13 (867) • United States 1 Aug 09

Polly289 It may seem a bit boring to some, but I do enjoy a game now and then. Not many people, least of all women, know how it works. I think it is too tactical for women but I enjoy it all the same. It is hard to learn if you don't have the patience for it. Otherwise...

Polly289 That is a bit extreme, to say the least. It might work but could be awfully embarassing for both parties. I too, have an 11 yr old who gets her visitor and let's just say. She is pretty much like the rest of them. I've growled her several times and her...

gross underwear

6 responses

Polly289 Only in dire circumstances and especially if she'd never worn them. Have had to do that on the odd occasion when I've run out and that is all too frequent, I'm afraid. Not one of those items I run out to buy. Take em off, wash em and start again.

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 1 Aug 09

Many couples end up divorced these days and usually the ones to suffer the most are the kids. Most times they are caught between the parents in a kind of tug of war. Sometimes the parents move far apart and the kids only get to...

Polly289 Sad but true. The children definitely suffer and they also have the misguided belief that they are the cause which is not the case. I went through a lengthy and painful process with my late husband. We didn't get to the divorce stage, primarily because he died...
