My husband quite enjoys taking the car for a ride just for fun. I on the other side can't see the point in this. I use the car for necessity or convenience, but I would never get it out of the garage without anywhere to go...

taraelocin Hm, well. Good point. I guess it gives you a chance to take your mind off the day-to-day.

taraelocin Yes, scenery is a nice reason. I enjoy being a co-driver though - at least I can see the scenery around.

taraelocin Most people will agree. When you first get your license, it is a lot more exciting. When you are older it's just useful.

taraelocin No, no his first car by any means. Ad he doesn't do it all the time. He just enjoys it - I don't mind as long as he drives! I just don't enjoy driving myself.

taraelocin You probably spend a lot of time in the car then. I only drive if I have to.

My mother-in-law recently lost her husband and felt quite lonely. So we went out with her to buy a cat. She didn't want kittens, but some more relaxed and older cats. So the obvious choice was the RSPCA and its cat rescue centre....

taraelocin Not sure if they are all sweet. Some might have been brought in because they had problems. Or had problems because of where they were before. But I agree, they all need a good home.

I am so excited - I just got a bunch of vouchers trough in the post from a survey company. I saved for a long time to get all those vouchers. So tomorrow I am going into town after work and buy myself a 3rd generation Ipod...

It's unbelievable what a major impact the volcanic ashes from Iceland have. It's been 5 days now that there is no aviation in Europe. Many of my colleagues are stuck in their holiday location or wherever they've been for work. A...

taraelocin At least he made it to the wedding. Imagine planning to get married abroad and then not being able to go! I know it is hard for many in the moment, but if there is a real risk, I'd rather they are overly careful. As you say - better than people dying.

taraelocin It is so frustrating that it just can't be predicted how long it takes. Everday we think planes will start again and then a new announcement comes through. I spent a night once at an airport due to fog - I wouldn't want to spend a week.

taraelocin I imagine they are sad. A honeymoon is such a special occassion. A friend of mine booked a 'once in a lifetime' holiday to Dubai. It won't happen now and as it is classed 'force majeur' he won't even get his money back.

taraelocin Oh yes, mail is delayed. Deliveries of foreign food is reduced and delayed. It already has an economical impact. And it's the last thing British Airways needs after the recent strikes. Hopefully it's over soon before airlines go bust as well. Not sure they...

taraelocin Absolutely. I know people complain and are unhappy. And I understand why. But if the planes would go and only one would crash, it would be considered unforgivable.

Do you think the above statement is true or not? Does the social class one is born into determine if one is successful in life or not? I think it is easier to be successful if you are born into a rich family - you have money...

social class

success

taraelocin So do I. Determination can get you very far, but sometimes you need a little help and luck to go the last bit. Someone who fought so hard for success deserves both help and luck.
