There is a lady who lives on our street. She is 81 years old and lives alone. She doesnt have any children and never married. She lives in a small apartment by herself. I saw her always alone and befriended her if I can call it...

sarilynne I think this approach will hurt her feelings, and is not the most sensitive way to go about this. Insulting her is not going to help her, and if she is your friend you want to be very delicate about this issue. I agree that giving her a gift of bath salts or...

We were talking about this at work today. Some people are very against homosexuality and didn't want gay children. A couple people actually said they'd have an abortion rather than have the gay child. However, if their child...

Okay, i don't know if it applies to all states or varies, but in Ireland it's 18. If it was 21 I think a lot of young people would want to die! lol! And plus whether that would apply to the pubs and nightclubs too would also have...

sarilynne I'm from Ontario, Canada, and the legal drinking age here is 19. In Quebec it is 18. The way I see it is if you are old enough to vote then you are old enough to drink. In Canada you need to be 18 to vote, and so I think the drinking age/gambling age/ age you...

I'm not sure why, but as a female, it has always been important to me that a man would think highly enough of me to "give" me his name, so to speak in marriage. And as I think about it, it's almost a covering in some ways that...

sarilynne This is the first I'm hearing of this new law in Quebec.. I'm from Ontario.. do you know if there is a similar law in place here? I think that is quite ridiculous for them to add a charge for that. It would make sense to have to pay to change the name back...

I'm a Christian with a traditional view between men and women, but I'm also a very leadership-oriented female, meaning I tend to take charge in situations. I firmly believe that I should have the same rights as men - the right to...

sarilynne For me, "equality" in rights and privileges, salaries, etc, is what is important. Of course men and women are not "equal" using the definition meaning "the same" - there are fundamental differences between men and women... but they should be "equal" in status...

sarilynne I took french and spanish at the same time in high school, and even though I'd been takng french since I was about 6, I would still get confused. They are such similar languages - it's not so surprising. However, this sometimes worked to my advantage - if I...

sarilynne Well I don't even think that is a consideration ... heh engaged without a ring.. :P But what is a consideration is getting the ring from his mom (at least, getting the diamond from her) or my mom.

sarilynne Well in this case, the parents are divorced, so the mother's ring has a slightly different symbolism, but I do agree that the gesture is very nice. :) And I definitely agree that the price does not matter.
