This may be my anal nature, but I've become increasingly concerned about how we are training our young people for the rigors of life in a world that's growing ever so complicated and competitive. Recently, I bought some yarn at a...

scarlet54 Couldn't agree more but in the UK they are taught with the aid of calculators and computers. I had a similar example when I went into a shop and bought something for £1.20. I didn't have a pound so I gave the assistant a £2 coin and a 20p piece expecting to...

I simply had to see if anyone else held the same views as me over the treatment of this poor woman. She came over here from Ghana four years ago to pursue her studies, she overstayed her student visa and then became ill and was...

My mother has been in the hospital for more than 8 days. She has been unconcious. I don't know if she will recover or not. I don't care what your religious beliefs are. If you believe in prayer or if you believe in sending forth...

scarlet54 Firstly let me say how sorry I am to hear of your Mother's serious condition. Secondly, I can empathise with you, having been in a similar situation some years ago. However, I do not know how old your Mother is and what sort of illness she is suffering from....

Having just spent a lovely day with my grandchildren, part of it fending or circumventing difficult questions about Santa-lol, I'm wondering just when is the best age to tell a child that Santa is - now I'm sorry for any of those...

scarlet54 Thank you all for responding to my discussion. I thought it would prove an interesting one and provide a variety of opinions. I think I agree that there is never a best age as such but the child will make the right time clear. When the questions become too...

scarlet54 That would be great in the ideal world one dollar but here in the UK we are tied up with so much government nannying that it's hard to be entrepreneurial these days, let alone creative. Just to have our own wind turbines there is so much red tape one has to...

scarlet54 Yes that's a good one. I've noticed that a lot of people tend to go for something to do with their children. I suppose if they don't have children, they would use pets names. In fact, I expect we will get people saying that. That's if I get any more replies...

scarlet54 Couldn't agree more onedollar. Word of mouth is now much more powerful and far more effective than advertising these days. Despite this, some companies still bury their heads in the sand and think they can get away with poor service.

people react as if the person who said it is ignorant. The truth is, there is very little that we do KNOW. Nothing in life is concrete. I don't "know" if I'll be alive tomorrow! (no that isn't some prophetic post) My...

scarlet54 I believe that Ray was a kind of 'Prince' for Wales. He's being lauded like Welsh royalty and quite rightly so. For those who knew him, you'd know how much he was loved and respected. He had a kind word for everyone. Come hell or high water, I hope to be at...

scarlet54 Hello onedollar, A lot of people think it's a secret society of the 'roll your trouser leg up' variety, others think it is only for men but in reality it's neither. It's an organisation made up of business men and women who want to use their business acumen...

scarlet54 As a writer and getting on in years, I find that even the simplest of words start to look strange when I write them down. Particularly words like niece. I put it down and it looks odd, so I write: neice - this also doesn't look right. It's maddening,...
