Perhaps she's one of these people who needs telling the same thing three times before it sinks in! lol A teacher (ha ha) at school told me that. He used to say read it three times, say it three times and then write it three times and you'll never forget it. Sadly it doesn't work for me...... In April I had a distressing incident because of someone not listening. I had a phone call asking to...

Annmac responded to a discussion called Is money important in life? in make extra money.

I don't believe that everyone wants to become rich or earn a lot of money. Why? Because I myself don't. I don't think being rich would make me any happier than I am now. I could earn a lot more money than I do just by increasing the hours I work. Yes we need money, we can't live without it, but as long as you have sufficient to supply your needs then you should be happy. The problem is most...

Annmac responded to a discussion called Do you think money is equal to happiness? in life.

I could be a millionaire but at this time I'd still be a very unhappy person. Having a lot or a little money would not alter how I feel about my life. It couldn't even make my suffering easier or harder to bear. Money cannot give you health, it cannot ease the pain of seeing a loved one fight and lose their battles with diseases like Cancer, it can't replace that special person in your life!...

Annmac responded to a discussion called is saying sorry means your weak????? in relationships.

If you're apologising because you have done or said something wrong then saying sorry shows STRENGTH not weakness. If you are saying, Sorry, I don't want to talk about this subject right now or at all, because you know that it will cause an arguement, again I think it shows Strength. The only time I think saying sorry is wrong is when you say it repeatedly (say for example because you are alwa...

I have two very old friends who have known me since we were all 3 years old. We're now all 58 so that's 55 years..... Wow! Apart from 15 years when my husband was in the RAF, we've always lived within 4 miles of each other. A lot of the time we lived in neighbouring streets. We went through school together and have always kept in touch, sending cards and letters and being there for both the sad...

This has got to be one of the most frustrating and heartbreaking illnesses. I see it a lot in the early stages, as I'm a community care-worker. There comes a time when the best place for these people is in a nursing home, they need supervision as they can get very confused and can become a danger to themselves. It sounds like this woman's daughter needs help! She should have professional help ...

Sadly I see this sort of thing all too often in my job! I'm a care-worker for the elderly and dis-abled and could tell you stories that would destroy your faith in human nature..... like one 'loving' daughter who wouldn't allow her Mum (who was very sadly senile) to go into a home...... she never visited her unless we had to call her in and all she was interested in was getting the Money from ...

Annmac responded to a discussion called Why do People Marry and Quarrel after? in life.
4 weeks ago
When people live together for any length of time or even know each other a long time it doesn't matter what the relationship is........ there are going to be quarrels! Parents, siblings, children, friends..... we occasionally are going to quarrel. It doesn't mean that you don't love them. I was with my husband for nearly 39 years and yes we quarrelled but we did before we were married too. I...

Annmac responded to a discussion called Is it true that after getting married after few years..there comes distance .... in relationships.
4 weeks ago
I think it depends on the couple! Why they married and how well they really knew each other before marriage. I was actually closer to and loved my husband the longer we were married and we were married 38+ years. (Death parted us) We argued less because we already knew each others views about most things and had learnt to compromise. I think the worst stage of marriage comes when children ar...
