Why go after Mr Wrong ?

Radhika Vakil @EverSoConfused (38) • India 4 Jun 17

Rogelio Not "most" women, that is a generalization. There are some but only a small majority of them: women who fall for the wrong reasons other than love. Material or physical attraction, to name a few. To make things even, there are also some pea-minded men who...

What do you do with your free time?

happythoughts @happythoughts (4109) • United States 17 Mar 17

When I have free time, which isn't nearly often enough, I am online for so much of it. I am looking for a new house and a new RV to the point of being obsessed. I am trying to focus on playing with my kids more and getting more...

Rogelio Free time would find me by the fields at the back of the house enjoying the scenery and the cool breeze punctuated by the twittering of the birds among the branches. While there, I also take time to hone my shooting skill with a .22 air rifle, plinking...

Why People Get So Bitter After the Breakup?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140129) • Philippines 15 Mar 17

When a person is in a relationship, everything is fine. It seems the world is so colorful. They don't mind others and keep safe in their own world. When the relationship turned sour, everything is all in bitter statements. The...

Rogelio It is the breakdown in communication that starts the war. When the words start to clash, it is too late to take back the things that has been given. It is always painful to lose one's identity to a person that has become a total stranger operating on a...

Dinner, thunder, lightning and rain

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29413) • Eugene, Oregon 22 Apr 16

Just as we sat down to dinner last night, the day-long threat of rain culminated in a windy downpour accompanied by the rumble and crash of thunder. In all the years i have lived in western Oregon, thunder is a rare thing, so I...

Rogelio Weird, the same thing happened here just a few minutes ago. As we are about to culminate dinner, it happened exactly as you described it. I, too, enjoyed the rare display, at the middle of a rainy summer weather in March just three days of intense heat I...

How do you beat the summer heat?

Curlann @annierose (21571) • Philippines 2 May 16

Every summer time, people choose to beat the heat by going to the beach or to any private pool to refresh themselves. Some just drive to Baguio or Tagaytay in search of cool air. It is obviously that Resorts are always full...

Always smiling @allknowing (137822) • India 11 Mar 16

What we should be experiencing around May is already here. The heat is unbearable. Feel like standing under the shower whole day through and quenching my thirst getting hold of any thirst quenchers. Wonder what's in store until...

Break-ups

noruby @noruby (55) • United States 4 Mar 17

How do you deal with a break-up? It is different for everyone it seems. I go off and on and back and forth with it. It is hard for me to stay friends with them.

Rogelio I don't get serious with a relationship, every time collision of interest occur, I just pick up the broken pieces of me and move on without looking back. In that way, I get to fast recovery and reconstruct myself in a more respectable manner somewhere along...

Shavkat @Shavkat (140129) • Philippines 9 Mar 17

Rogelio When one person dominates a relationship, that is one indication: getting intolerant with the mistakes of the other. Personally, for me, it is the time to step out of it and look for a more comfortable arrangement where mutual respect and acceptance is the...

koopharper @koopharper (7601) • Canada 21 Jun 16
