Do They Really Change Your Sheets?

Anna @LadyDuck (471356) • Switzerland 14 Sep 16

I confess that I am a germophobe, I fear the germs and I am a bit maniac about hygiene. I am never comfortable when I have to sleep at the hotels. I always wonder if they really change the bed sheets between guests. I imagine...

I Love My Life...

Toni @toniganzon (72281) • Philippines 12 Sep 16

Every pain, every wound, every struggle. I value those things in my life. Without those, I couldn't have grown into what I am today. I wouldn't have known how to live life to the fullest. If I didn't take the risk, life wouldn't...

theSids For sure. Years back, when I fell ill, I disliked it very much. Over time, I realized I could do nothing about it as there is no cure. So I had two options... sulk and keep sulking over the illness OR accept it and start re-living as best I could in the given...

Still looking for a class

Jekca @Jessicalynnt (50523) • Centralia, Missouri 5 Sep 16

I am still trying to figure out what class I want to take. I found a yoga class, but it's too close to my counseling appointment (which I can't change) so as that I wouldn't make it in time. I may have to look in Tyler. I don't...

theSids Yoga would be my pick. Agreed, it clashes with your counseling appointment but I think in a week or so, you can find out some way to balance. Yoga - you can learn quick and then do some of those at your own home - so that can take care of the Counseling. But...

What do You Say When You've Been Insulted?

Steve West @zebra2222 (5268) • United States 5 Sep 16

What do you say when you've been insulted? Do you remain silent? Do you respond with returning the insult with anger? Do you insult the person back? Do you feel hurt, upset, and miserable? How do you feel? I believe that it...

theSids I do not believe in judging and take almost everything positively. I never believe in returning back the insult. I have lots of other things to handle in my daily life and I have realized that life is too short to keep grudges and retaliate. Staying positive...

theSids Late here, but loved this movie. Big B still unmatched. No one even near his performance. Nawazzuddin - I wished he had a bigger and more powerful role but he was great too in whatever was given to him.

theSids It was a sad read. But anyways, the facts are that way. Some people are so much depressed (or maybe suffering from some emotional disorder) that they never grow beyond. They continue living in the past and never come out of it.

theSids I love surprises. So I try hiding things at times from many others. Not because of the scare that "it" wont happen if I told it to someone. But yes, sometimes people get superstitious and hide things because of that.
