sharishops When you make the choice to create a child you owe it to that child to provide a home, a mother and a father. I don't think there is anywhere in the world that does not translate into marriage. You may think you are a modern, independent woman who does not...

Couple Arrested for not Paying Tip!

cowgirl2701 @cowgirl2701 (2079) • United States 19 Nov 09

I was a waitress for years and if you give bad service you DO NOT get a TIP! I can not believe they had this couple arrested. Yes I understand that the restaurant has a policy to charge a tip for parties of 6 or more. The owner...

sharishops The good news is, this restaurant is getting really, really bad press over this as the story has hit the major media outlets. Under the circumstances it would have been in their best interest to forgo the tip especially since they knew their service was poor.

The Military and Single Mothers

charblaize @charblaize (1026) • United States 18 Nov 09

There is a big story on the news today about a mother who refused to deploy to Afganhastan because she claims there is no one to watch her infant son. I heard long ago, that wouldn't send the only son of a family into service for...

sharishops I don't know all the facts of this case but if she can not serve because she has no one to care for her child, she should be allowed to leave the Army. If she just wants to be exempted from deployment and still retain all the other benefits she has with the...

Did you ever wish you could go back in time and reverse something that happened?

mmichaellin @mmichaellin (65) • United States 17 Nov 09

Life is full of mistakes and regrets. Something happened in the past that I do not feel comfortable revealing, and I want to change it... Did anything happen to you that you desperately wanted to change, but had no power in doing...

sharishops Some people say that if you have no regrets you haven't lived. If that's true then wow, have I lived! I have many, many regrets and some of them would have been life changing to me and my family. I can say without hesitation that you must not dwell on your...

Alot of people seem very threatened by Sarah Palin

revellanotvanella @revellanotvanella (4033) • United States 13 Nov 09

Why do you think this is? Definately a very intelligent woman but I'm suprised she's getting this much coverage, especially by CNN with the release of her book out. Do you see this as paving the way for her..

sharishops I think she would have been taken more seriously in politics if she had been patient, finished her obligation to Alaska as its governor and let her political future grow on its own merit.

Save for Vacation or Put it on Credit Card

GoGirl149 @GoGirl149 (152) • Canada 19 Oct 09

Are you the type of person who saves up money and then goes on vacation? Or are you the type that charges your vacation on your credit card and worries about paying it later?

8 responses

sharishops When I go on vacation I want to leave all the stress and problems behind and knowing I'm coming home to a huge balance on my credit card kind of kills the mood if you know what I mean. I like to plan for it, save for it and then relax!

"An alcoholic is always an alcoholic." Do you agree or disagree?

II2aTee @II2aTee (2559) • United States 9 Apr 09

I would like as many opinions as possible about something. I recently heard someone say “An alcoholic is always an alcoholic, even if they are dry for years.” Do you think that’s true? What about drug addicts? Do you think a...

As Seen on TV Products

joyceshookery @joyceshookery (2057) • United States 8 Apr 09

My most recent purchase was called "The Biggest Little Bag." That's one of the most ridiculous claims I've heard advertised. I returned the bag/purse to Walmart the next day. The compartments are Barbie Doll size. I wouldn't be...

sharishops I have to admit I've never bought anything 'as seen on TV' that was of any real value! I think of those commercials as entertainment more than anything else. And if the narrator on the commercial is shouting at me, there's no way I'm buying what he's selling!

Is it fair to pay back in the same coin?

dpk262006 @dpk262006 (58676) • Delhi, India 8 Apr 09

Some of us are very particular in extending our wishes and greetings to our near and dear ones on their birthdays, their children’s birthdays and their marriage anniversaries etc. However, everyone does not reciprocate by wishing...

sharishops If you send happy wishes just to receive them back then skip those who don't return them. If you send happy wishes because it makes you feel good to do so, then keep on doing it! Whatever makes you happy is what matters most!

Have you ever boughten anything off of the free jewelry sites?

anotherxidentity @anotherxidentity (1434) • United States 8 Apr 09

One day I just happen to stumble upon one of those sites where the jewelry is actually free and you pay about $6-7 for shipping and some of the stuff is really nice and I've thought about buying them as gifts for family members...

sharishops I would really be afraid to buy from a site like that. I can't believe the quality would be any good plus how do you return something you got for free if you don't like it? I'd also be careful that it's not like some of those sites where you get a 'free trial'...

sharishops I don't know if it's the strange bed or a strange location that would be the problem. I LOVE my bed! But I think if you moved my bed to a strange location I might not sleep so well. When I'm away from home, I never sleep well. That could be the bed of...

Do you prefer Body wash or a bar of Soap?

miraclefreebies @miraclefreebies (3043) • United States 8 Apr 09

I honestly wouldn't call a bar of soap a good friend of mine because I had enough run-ins with dry skin after a soap bath. It looks like my dry skin isn't as dry as I was lead to believe. I figured out that it was the soap...

sharishops I never found that one soap or another did a better job of cleaning me or drying out my skin but I do know that the body washes keep my shower cleaner! LOL! There's no soap film to build up - it all just washes down the drain. So, if the shower is cleaner,...

What do you think of owning a gun or not?

MAllen400 @MAllen400 (829) 6 Apr 09

I am in England and the thought of owning a gun or one of my neighbours owning a gun is very frightening. Friends in America though seem to take it for granted that they own a gun and more than likely their neighbours do...

steph7us @steph7us (25) • United States 1 Apr 09

sharishops Along with not teaching good manners to our children at a very early age, our culture seems to be neglecting teaching them poise and how to be civilized. As a young parent I was criticized for expecting my children to say 'please' or 'thank you' when visiting...
