yvonnee I think there is a very big difference. In Singapore the people are very businesslike and although they are friendly it seems to be a friendliness that they have been taught in order to help their economy with tourism. In Malaysia things are not so clean and...

yvonnee In New Zealand swimming is a compulsory school subject. Perhaps this is because we are a country with many lakes and rivers and with the longest coastline in proportion to our landmass in the world. Is it common to be taught swimming at school in other...

yvonnee There are houses but mostly owned by the very wealthy. There is a lot more condos than houses because there is a lot more people than space! It is a very very small country with a large population.

yvonnee I don't personally agree that there is any problem with the word. The problem is in the attitudes of a small minority of people who would have no more respect for the disabled whatever they were labelled. I am disabled, and yes, I have a lack of ability,...

yvonnee I make it by simply cooking the potatoes, then slicing them, covering with a cheese sauce and putting any additives you like, such as spring onion, bacon, capsicum. Then sprinkle a little cheese on top and grill till browned and warmed through. I have tried...

yvonnee I think you have just answered your own question. Live the life - talking is not going to do it.

yvonnee I question the need to "reach" them. I believe it is for each person to find God in their own way.

yvonnee I agree with you. I think perhaps your attitude has a little to do with your age and maturity. I remember reading that at 20 we worry about what people will think of us, at 40 we stop worrying about what people will think of us, and at 60 we realise they...

I've always believed that God can hear me no matter where I am...in the shower, lying in bed at night or anywhere. I believe He is with me all the time and therefore can hear me anytime I want to talk or pray to Him. I don't think...

Everytime our fearless leader goes abroad and speaks to not only the U.S. but to the whole world I cringe! He sure didn't let me down this time. Appearing in Australia for the APEC summit, first he forgot what he was there for and...

yvonnee As I am not American I don't feel that it is really my place to criticize their president, but I have to agree - I just don't understand how anybody can say "we are kicking a** in Iraq" as though they are proud of it.

yvonnee I don't think it should be a choice between happy or healthy. I would be happy to be healthy. I think you know yourself, without needing your doctor to decide, what size is right for you. My doctor tells me that I am not seriously overweight but I know that I...
