After much ado it seems that the retirement age is going to be raised for both men and women here in the UK. now my better half has a wonderful argument about this, he says that women have relentlessly campaigned for equality and...

ruby222 Good points made. I agree with you when you say that older workers may be taking posts that could be filled by younger people but as you age it is hard to think of yourself as `over the hill`!! Many work because they see it as a form of interaction... staying...

ruby222 Many rely on grand parents to care for their children and we often take care of two of ours...and enjoy it. Child care is so expensive that the majority of young couples stand to lose a significant proportion of their joint income if they have to pay their...

ruby222 I agree with you on certain aspects. My grandparents retired and handed their business over to their son and within weeks were back working again! the work ethic was very much part of their genetic make-up. Child minding? we have four grand children and we...

ruby222 i can see where you are coming from. Twitter allows you to put your feelings down on paper, writing is a good therapy and sharing emotions can be very helpful. I am not sure that I could bare my soul to twitter or any other social networking site. One of my...

ruby222 The advantages of being a twitter are hard to understand! I suppose the site allows the celebrities to constantly update and let us know what is going on in their lives. Then again i dont know if i would have the patience to want to know what was happening in...

ruby222 Yes, sharing lovely thoughts on twitter sounds quite good, however tweeting on ordinary movements sounds a bit silly to me. If you have that amount of followers on twitter then you must be doing something right. sharing poetic thoughts, that sounds pleasant...

ruby222 LOL yes, well a twit i am, or not as the case may be. As mentioned above the proof of the pudding has to be in the eating so the best way to find out if Twitter is any good is to join it. another post says that twitter is used for many different purposes, such...
