altasmucker Jealousy and pettiness is a very sad thing indeed in family. Step, blood, or otherwise, family is what's supposed to be important. Parents are supposed to take care of their children until they are no longer capable, then the kids take care of the parents....

Knit Lace Patterns and Projects

Lukkyr @Lukkyr (67) • United States 1 Aug 12

I would like to know where to find good lace knitting patterns online. The patterns could be for shawls, sweaters, jackets, scarves or almost anything. Do any of you sell your knit items on Ebay or Etsy?

altasmucker So very true. We may not all have the best relationships with our mothers, but I'd have to say 99.9 percent of moms out there deserve all the appreciation we can give them. Moms do a lot for us, from kissing boo boos to discipline, to teaching us right from...

What was the most romantic thing your loved one did for you?

barbiesacol88 @barbiesacol88 (202) • Philippines 1 Aug 12

Oh well, I'm always a romantic girl at heart. I gush over flowers and chocolates. Listen to mushy loves songs. That's why the book Fifty Shades of Grey was so popular to women not because or its eroticism, but because of the...

appearance vs. behavior

missjahn @missjahn (4574) • Philippines 27 Jul 12

if you are to choose, what would you prefer, having a very handsome or pretty partner with all the pleasing personality and really got the looks but has an attitude problem or this not so pretty or handsome person but with good...

appearance

behavior

altasmucker Honestly, looks aren't everything. Don't get me wrong, handsome men are fun to look at, however, if the personality doesn't match the looks, that just makes the person ugly. I think it's always what's inside that counts. Cause if they know how to treat a...

altasmucker I think you need both, as well as trust, and communication. A relationship will never go anywhere without a foundation, and those four are the cornerstones in my book.

altasmucker I agree, it does make life very scary indeed, especially for single parents. You can just never be sure of who you're with or what may happen. Unfortunatly, this makes it very hard to live life to it's fullest. You worry so much about your children and how...

altasmucker My oldest is 14, and while she has ideas on where she wants her life to go, she has no idea what life really is yet. I think 18 is too young to be sure of where u want to go. Most people aren't sure at 28, 38, or even higher exactly what they want to do with...
