roberten Oh, my! I don't think he will be looking to visit anything or anyone except you. Plan outings as an alternative, I've got a feel most of your time together will be spent at home.

When was the last time you told your parents you love them?

inkyuboz @inkyuboz (1392) • Mandaluyong City, Philippines 28 Apr 13

Me? I can't remember. I just thought that if I greeted them "I love you" then some bad thing would happen. Like some sort of weird premonition. That's the sole (and silliest) reason why I don't say "I love you". I would try to...

roberten Both my parents are gone now but I sometimes talk to them as if they were still here; when I do, I tell them how much I love them. I know that sounds nuts, but I still love them after all these years (12 yrs for dad and 11 for mom). I love them and miss them...

911Ricki @911Ricki (13588) • Canada 29 Apr 13

This girl I went to school with who back then we were close friends. She has changed a lot to an immature drama queen. I think to myself how were we ever friends, she is so immature, lives with her parents, doesn't pay a cent and...

roberten Different stroke for different folks, and it takes all kinds to make a world. Our lives are made up of choices and sounds like he made questionable ones. One day he will be answering to his child: Why?

Anyone know of any new "paid to chat" website?

Freelancepreneur @LouieWpHs04 (4555) • United States 2 May 13

I liked how Mylot was and the nice recurring income for minimal effort to pay for misc. website hosting and such, but since Mylot doesn't offer this anymore and it's changed to a very hideous layout, I am probably leaving. I am...

roberten You would be great, Louie; get your site online and pm me so I can join. I think the opportunities for new sites popping up to replace the old mylot is great. People want to make money and they will follow the money trail. Mylot will have some old...

desertdarlene @desertdarlene (8910) • United States 12 May 13
