Hobbies/gender relationship

webeishere @webeishere (36313) • United States 20 Sep 08

Okay here is my question? Are hobbies gender related etc? Like model cars are a mans hobby? Needlework is a womans hobby? I am just curious as to what others here feel about this gender relationship to hon=bbies. I ask because I...

susieq223 Yes, I think hobbies are gender related in the minds of many people, but not in actually doing them. Anyone--male or female can and should do whatever appeals to them. I do find needlework relaxing and productive and I can do it anywhere, including while I am...

sudalunts @sudalunts (5523) • United States 10 Sep 08

susieq223 I have gotten lost several time while driving. Usually it is because I misread signs. When I travel and get lost, I think of it as an adventure. If I have to be somewhere on time it is an annoyance. I don't drive much after dark, but then it would be scary.

What kind of soup do you like to make when the weather gets chilly?

Sparkee73 @Sparkee73 (125) • United States 10 Sep 08

I love the process of preparing and enjoying a bowl of nice, warm soup when it's cold outside. It's great comfort food! Does anyone else feel the same? What kind of soups do you enjoy?

susieq223 I like most any kind of soup, but my favorite to make on a cold day or when I am feeling blue, is potato soup. I cut the potatos up small, use real butter and whole milk. I also add chopped onions and a little bit of chicken bouillion for seasoning. It is full...

If you get 500 ++ responses in one post!!! How can you manage?

Morning Girl @salonga (27775) • Philippines 10 Sep 08

I've noticed some discussions with large number of respondents but not all of them were commented back. I can't blame the Posters, they certainly have reasons for that. What a big privilege it is to have been responded by so many!...

susieq223 Since I do try to respond to everyone who posts to my discussions, I feel very fortunate that I have not had to deal with such a large number! I, too, have wondered how people who get huge responses deal with them.

susieq223 Oh yeah! What you have said is very true. I get the impression sometimes that a lot of people on myLot don't really like to think about what they post--just want to keep the numbers up. Silly questions are a lot easier to answer.

How To Beef Up A Way-Too-Skinny Kid?

Deborah L. Alten @gtargirl (5376) • United States 10 Sep 08

I need a little help to put some weight on my 16-year-old son. I don't think he's even 100lbs yet. He's 5 feet 8 inches. I'm pretty sure he eats at school but one never knows. We eat mostly Indonesian dishes--lots of rice and...

susieq223 I don't color my hair very often, only when I get tired of the "dirty" blonde look. Fortunately, I either don't have any grey or it doesn't show up in the blond that much. Anyway, the last time I did mine I used Loreal and it worked fine. I have never had a...

Describe love

wenczmastah @wenczmastah (640) • Philippines 8 Sep 08

As we all know.. we have our own meanings of love... for you, how will you define love? For me, i will define love as "Love is blind" because it is really true... that love is blind... doesn't matter how pretty she is or handsome...

susieq223 I always thought my husband did a good job of defining love. He said "Love is a willingness to be inconvenienced." I don't think of love as being blind--I think of it as seeing the good things and forgiving the "bad" things.

If you had to choose, would you rather be known for your beauty or brains?

iahnives @iahnives (48) • Philippines 8 Feb 07

No: Looks matter. Everything's easier when you're pretty. Both people and opportunities gravitate towards you. Hot celebs and models create buzz, not Nobel prize winners. It's a superficial world nowadays and looking good is...

susieq223 Neither. I would like to be know for my loving kindness. Looks can go and disease and age can take the brain power. Loving kindness is always remembered and leaves the world a better place.
