Do you live near the beach? If so what is it like?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 19 Jun 07

I live within a few miles of a long sandy beach. It has a village at one end with a tiny church on a hillside. It extends to huge sand dunes further along. There is a stunning view over to a piece of land that sticks out to sea....

sadgirl_1958 I used to live close to the Pacific Ocean in California and I dearly loved it. Now I live in the midwest of the U.S. and no more ocean! But we have the mighty Mississippi River and two lakes in town so we have lots of water. We go boating every week on the...

sadgirl_1958 I do have a love for sweets and for cakes. I have a passion for chocolate - but when it comes to cake - I actually prefer white cake with white frosting. I sometimes will bake a cake at home but more often go to the local grocery store and purchase one.

sadgirl_1958 Well, I live in the U.S. and generally people here don't leave - but many come in. I went away from my home state - 2400 miles away to another state to work - so I was away from my family and loved ones for 16 years. I came back now to my home state and I am...

Pain of Love failure; Is it momentary or permanent?

I_LUV_U @I_LUV_U (2519) • India 19 Jul 07

There are very few people on this earth who have never experienced love-failure in their life. When you love someone as badly as our life, spend most of your time and energy thinking about that person, ready to take any risk...

sadgirl_1958 People are remarkably resilient. Think of it - even when we lose loved ones to death - we are able to move forward and continue to live on. We experience pain - but it subsides with time and we find that even though we have lost - we still have a life to live...

Do you note down all your passwords in a diary?

I_LUV_U @I_LUV_U (2519) • India 9 Jul 07

Many of you must be using different passwords, for the security reasons. Its good to use different and lengthy passwords in different arena. Its always advisable to use more than one password as we won't be losing all our accounts...

sadgirl_1958 I don't wear any make up at all. This is very toxic for the skin and clogs your pores. Women who wear make up will find their skin aging faster than those who do not. I am allergic to make up and I actually find it repulsive and uncomfortable. Hence, perhaps...

sadgirl_1958 It is truly amazing what we are doing now. The baby boomers are now reaching senior age - and suddenly there will be even more demands for newer and better technology and services to meet the growing needs of an aging world.

ranjeetkolarkar @ranjeetkolarkar (1595) • India 17 Jul 07

sadgirl_1958 I usually read the paper in the evening - it is just more convenient. Say, speaking of TV - did you just see on the internet that the average person spends over one million U.S. dollars in a lifetime watching television? This is based on a lifetime of buying...

why do all parents love their children so much?

ronreyes @ronreyes (4724) • Philippines 10 May 07

Aren't you afraid sometimes that your love for your children may be useless or wasted just in case they become someone you didn't expected them to be? Like being a bad person!? Or maybe they'll just ignore you when they already...

sadgirl_1958 The pay isn't as important as the experience. If you want to learn - go with the job that offers you the challenges. Pay isn't everything and usually catches up with you over the years. We spend far too much of your time at work - it should be something you...
