Remando It's funny you should post this; I was thinking just the other day about what luxury items I could give up. After living in Africa, I realised how much the western world has in regard of assets and luxuries. When in Africa, I told myself I would give up...

Remando I'm really not afraid of death, because I know that I have absolutely no control at all over what happens when we die, so I see it as pointless worrying. And we are all in the same boat, so to speak, it will happen to us all. I do try to think positively...

Remando While it is really great to hear those three little words uttered by your loved one, face to face, I think I 'feel' it more when my moved one (non-existant at the moment, however!) DOES something to show it, without there being any other motive behind...

Remando Blimey that's very strange; the saying is true, you really do learn something new every day. My step dad is very weird, he can eat a big old onion RAW. He eats them like apples. Yuck.

Remando Sorry to hear about your burnt-smelling microwave! Well, what I do (which helps clean the inside too) is to mix a pint of water with lots of lemon juice (maybe juice three, or buy some liquid lemon) and then put it in a microwavable bowl, and set the...

Remando I think that dreams can mean a wide variety of things. For example, I think in some dreams I am simply going through the process of getting rid of, or perhaps even storing, information I have taken in subconsciously throughout the day. Other times, I...

Remando Yup I always keep my eggs in the fridge. If I'm bring very organised (which doesn't happen that often really) then I'll take them out of the fridge an hour or so before using them; I don't know why I do this, I think I heard a chef say that's what you...

Remando At a lot of times during my life I have really wanted to be someone else. At other times, I have been so glad to be me, so I guess it's sort of balanced out. Right now I'm not happy with me, but, strangely, I don't feel I want to have an easy option and...
