Society's future through today's youth

arrgophil @arrgophil (96) • United States 31 Jul 08

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...

scarlet54 i have made so many friends on Yuwie, it's so exciting and a lot of fun. I just join clubs that are of interest to me. For example, I am interested in a spiritual development and attend a group here in the UK to learn more about spirit guides etc. I have...

Please say a prayer for my Mom

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 6 Jan 08

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....

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...

A lousy customer service

onedollar @onedollar (781) • Belgium 16 Dec 07

I recently had a bad experience with customerservice of a company that sells heating equipment. It's Junkers actually, they sold me a gasheater through a dealer 4 years ago. Now I discovered the plastic of a tube (the inner tube)...

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.

Why is it that when a person says "I don't know"...

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 16 Nov 07

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 couldn't agree with you more miamilady. In my former 'life' as a Health Promotion Manager for the UK National Health Service, I used to act as a Stress Counsellor. It was important in this role to understand you were there not to supply the answers to...

Do you have words that you ALWAYS seem to spell wrong?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 26 Jun 07

I just did it again, in one of my discussions. I know how to spell the word when I think about it...There are certain words that I always have to check on too. I always want to add an "e" when words end in "ous". I always want to...

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,...

ShawnsBidness @ShawnsBidness (381) • United States 9 Apr 07

Have you ever heard of the neuro-muscular disease Myasthenia Gravis? It is one of the Muscular Dystropy diseases and for those who were around then, Aristotle Onassis had it. If you've heard of it, what do you know about it? Do...

scarlet54 Hi ShawnsBidness, I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis in 1996. I started off with double vision which first came on whilst I was driving down a very busy motorway in the UK. Thankfully my guardian angel prompted me to close one eye and I could see better...
