Have you ever heard of familial weight bullying? Well, some of you have been through that situation: it could be your relatives pinching your arms, belly, or thighs because fat equals disgusting in their eyes. It might be...

Has anyone seen (or heard) the new Kit Kat commercial where they are crunching the Kit Kat bar by either biting it or breaking it or whatever and it sounds out their theme song or jingle... What do you think of it? I do like...

talfonso This commercial is one of the reasons why I don't buy as much KitKats anymore (not to mention that the biggest reason why is because I have to lose weight for a funeral because my relative is terminally ill)! The SFX and crunching to the tune of the jingle...

talfonso I love Swarovski, but I don't collect stuff from it. But one thing's for sure that I'm going to buy their individual rhinestones (from Create Your Style) and decorate a few things. I just feel that sense of envy when I see rhinestone-encrusted phone cases,...

Don't you wish there's an online game about poverty? Online games allow you to match colors of jewels, plant gumball trees, raze lairs of enemies and defeat them, and match colored dice. Aware of this, charity Urban Ministries...

Some of you love Sunday shopping because it gives them more freedom to buy the things they want. Some hate it because it takes time from church and family. Some, like me, like the concept but only under certain circumstances like...

I mean, really - the Moscow Oceanarium, which opened not so long ago in Russia, turned away a school group from visiting. They told them they should come back on cleanup days. Why? They told officials that the pupils are all...

talfonso At that moment, I don't think they took any measures against the aquarium. But I agree with you that it's inhumane. If that incident happened here in the US, they'd violate the ADA and get the suing of their lives.

In our area one is allowed to reamin open on Sunday , do you agree with this ? Is Sunday not considered a day of rest anymore ? Is this fair to expect employee's to work on Sunday ? What are your veiws on this and why ?

talfonso I agree with few aspects of it, in particular food. As much as I hate grocery shopping, especially in Walmart, I think that's fine because it's an essential. But the rest I disagree, and employees missing out on church and/or family is not the only reason...

talfonso Oh gosh - my area does, and it's ANNOYING! I go to church using SR 60 (the highway in Brandon) and sometimes I get late there! Why? It's because the mall there (a Westfield, at the intersection of that and I-75) is open. Ditto for most stores that don't fall...

talfonso Sunday shopping can be very useful under the right circumstances. Mostly I do mine for groceries and meds. But keep in mind that there are cons associated with that. I have quite a few people I know (teachers and relative's friend) who live in Bergen County,...

diaper discipline

6 responses

talfonso Right. If your kid (if you had one) acts immaturely and you tried everything - confiscating his games, chores over vacations, missing playdates/parties with friends, and so on - don't put him on a diaper. You might agree that holding a sign on the street or...

talfonso Venting is good - just in private so nobody accuses me of giving my relative attitude! And it's even better with EFT, which, as I mentioned, is tapping on the body while ranting! Oh, and I scream sometimes, but when it's really called for, I'd do it...

talfonso I do have a job, thank you, but I can't afford my own house right now. Look, my relative is old and I have to take care of her. And it's stressing. Talking it out in person could bring me more stress. That's why I meditate, do Oxycise and EFT, and just get...

talfonso Being a 90's kid, I have a lot of toys I remember fondly as a child. I watched TV a lot and I got a pat of all the toys advertised. Take Treasure Rocks, for instance. I don't mean the ones which you make a coffee-and flour dough, fill with toys, let dry,...

talfonso I'm not school aged, and I'm 22 as I mentioned before. Sometimes, just giving in to what she wants me to do may not work, but maybe if I would calm down a bit (I mentioned Oxycise, so I'd take a few breaths in that method) beforehand I wouldn't have to face...
