worldwise1 In view of the fact that we have acquired such a great number of enemies, lilwonders, I think that we need all the help we can get. I am at a loss as to why so many people are afraid of being spied upon. Why do we ascribe to ourselves such importance? I...

Later this week I will be taking a very dear friend on a 4 hour journey for her to have an operation to remove her bowel cancer. My elderly 84 year old friend has never had an operation and never had any type of anaesthetic and...

worldwise1 Hello Ms Tickle. When I saw your post I was moved to respond. First off, I would like to say what a loving and caring friend you are. Dealing with catastrophic illness is never easy - for the one concerned or their family and friends. I think it would be...

Somebody please remind me what a good natural remedy horseradish is for congestion. I have not wanted to eat, and have not felt like eating for several days. I have had a temperature up to 102. I have taken mucus relief medicines,...

worldwise1 Thank you for the helpful hint, GG. I have also been bothered by a cold that seems to want to hang on. I promise you that I will be looking for some horseradish tomorrow! It just goes to show that many of the old home remedies still work, sometimes more than...

Many of you may wonder why I'm not using my usual crystal gazing black cat avatar. I've used that photo when I first came across it around 2003--I've used it even before I had my own computer. What struck me about that photo was...

worldwise1 I would agree that that is much ado abouy nothing, pyewacket. It is a shame that the woman reneged on her word. I had been wondering why the familiar avatar usually associated with you suddenly went away - although your photo is indeed nice. I have also been...

this discussion was triggered by responses to another discussion. I was saddened to read how many women do cry themselves to sleep because they feel trapped and dependent on their husband. It shocked me to think in this modern age...

worldwise1 One obvious reason, Hatley, might be that these women have lost their self-esteem and confidence that would allow them to move forward. It can be pretty daunting to a young mom who has been beaten down, physically or emotionally, to dig deep within herself and...

worldwise1 I believe, hushi, that it is called even-handed, and it is pretty rare. I knew of one person many years ago who had the ability to write with both hands. It has even been suggested that everyone could possibly use both hands equally were it not for being...

worldwise1 I fully understand that babies can happen unplanned or unexpectedly, GCL, but a smart enough person can factor in enough time to spend with that child even though they have to provide for it. I did not mean to intentionally single out mothers, but it is a fact...

worldwise1 While I agree that too much gaming can be bad for older children, liquorcs, I'm also thinking of the children who are even younger. Some toddlers actually spend more time in day care than they do at home.

worldwise1 I wouldn't say that being a mother means you can't have a life, sarah, but it does mean that you have to consider the needs of the child before your own. Parenting requires a lot of self-sacrifice, but it also helps one to mature.

worldwise1 Most often, sender, these children are starved for love and affection which can cause them to act out. It is left to the grandparents to instill some values into them.

worldwise1 It is so true, parrot, that not everyone is parent material, but once they cross that bridge they need to step up. I wasn't the best parent with my first child, but I was determined enough to make it a good experience for all of us as they came along.
