brisk123 This is exactly what I am facing today! I got up in the morning, made up my mind that I will publish at-least two articles today and update my blog as well and as I was sitting in front of my laptop, I just realized I don't have anything to write about. My...

[b][/b]I think most of us are familiar with this law that says: Whatever can go wrong (once it starts) will go wrong. I've been searching for the ultimate example and I think I have found it. Now, when "Murphy" pays me a visit, I...

mentalward I've read this story before. It reminds me of something that happened to me, although it was much different. I was having a special birthday party/dinner for my sister. This was way back before her muscular dystrophy got so bad she couldn't walk. Her...

There are some countries where traditions die hard (if at all). If you are reading this, and you are in a country where traditions are strong, I congratulate you. However, in America, I'm beginning to see some very disturbing...

grandpa_lash I am an anthropologist, and traditions and their creation are an important part of my area of study. Traditons change. They change very slowly, which is what makes the difference between a tradition and a trend, but they do change. The culture changes with...

Do you ever find yourself in a "RUT?" For instance, I know I should get out and do some exercise but I always find some reason not to. Do you ever find yourself doing something in a way you know doesn't work, but you do it anyway...

mentalward Now, THERE'S that Pisces I know and love! Dreamers but very stubborn! Well, I've always been open to suggestion. If I can find a better, faster, cheaper, easier way to do something, I will. Guess I don't qualify for the "Old Fogie" label yet!...

mayhem23 I have been in that position but I have learned to try and be open to change. Change is inevitable and we must learn to accept it. I used to always perform a task at work one way because it was easy but I changed to a new method because it was more efficient....

If you caught an intruder breaking into your home, and you had a gun, would you shoot the intruder? It's easy to conjecture about such things, but think about it, would you have the nerve to actually do it? My answer to my own...

Dominique I would shoot, only if the intruder did something to make me feel as though I was threatened. If he leaves after I asked him or what not, then I wouldn't. But, as I've said, the only time when I might shot is if the intruder makes a movement that makes me feel...

ladysurvivor I am actually not sure whether I will be brave enough to pull the trigger. In a real situation many things can happen. To me it depends on the situation, though. If the situation is really critical, for example if the robber wants to shoot one of my family...

lovelyladydancing So I couldn't donate? I think I could spend it. I would spend a lot on setting up lifetime stuff, like weekly food delivery and monthly train passes. I would buy stuff and give to people later. I would buy a condo as well.
