samson1 Despite the hour of their visit - although I personally would prefer an earlier hour- the Perez' chose to show their gratitude for helping them in their moments of crisis. Blessing to you and your household.

Is there right or wrong in sharing opinions?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140102) • Philippines 13 Mar 13

For me, I do think that there is right or wrong in conveying opinions. It could be bad or good, as long as it is done in a constructive way. How about you? Will you insist that you are right, even it contradicts to the opinion of...

samson1 Shavkat, I think that it is neither good nor bad for someone to offer his or her opinion on a topic of discussion. The effect of offering an opinion is dependent on how the recepient received it. With respect to the second question, the rationale for...

samson1 Perhaps, you need to become engaged in a hoppy or join up with a social group. Being alone when you are vulnerable can lead to idle thoughts. If these idle thoughts are allowed to develope -unchecked- then dispondency (and depression) may set in. Why not get...

poppoppop111 @poppoppop111 (5731) • Canada 26 Feb 13

Will you keep loving someone who will never be yours?

blitz1224 @blitz1224 (94) • Philippines 3 Feb 13

This subject just came up in my mind. What if one day your partner feel out of love on you but you still wanted him/her? Will you fight for it or will you let go?

samson1 Although the scenario presented by you is indeed a 'tough one' to deal with, the truth is that perhaps, it would be better for you to let go. If you decide to fight for it, you will be using more ofyour resources which will not be appreciated by the other...

I was brave enough to get out of my relationship!

la_chique @la_chique (1498) 5 Feb 13

I've not been around for a while. I've been very busy. I went om a 2 week cruise with my then partner. We'd been together for 9 years, but when I was on holiday, I realised that our relationship was over. 2 days after we...

samson1 Hello La_chique, how are you? I do not think that your decision to end that relationship should be viewed as an act of bravery.., but, instead, the decision occurred purely as a result of using your 'common sense'. Clearly, you had enough time over the years,...

Learning From Others

STOUTjodee @STOUTjodee (3573) • United States 31 Jan 13

Tall..dark..handsome.. Is it still the ideal man for women?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140102) • Philippines 19 Dec 12

I remember my classmate in college days. She is looking a tall, dark and handsome. At first, I was just smiling and said, that's hard to find. How about you girls? Did you set any standard qualities for a man?

samson1 Hmm. As a man, I have benefitted (and shall continue to benefit) from that idealistic statement; whereby women seek to find the man of their dreams. Ladies, may I suggest that- realistically- try to 'use what you have' to the best of your ability until you get...

MoonGypsy @MoonGypsy (4606) • United States 10 Dec 12

samson1 Hmm, I did not notice that discovery at all. However, I agree that I tend to not be on the computer at that time; mainly because I have to prepare for my working week, and I need to get some rest. All the best MoonGypsy, and enjoy your day.
