Here we go again, gas prices rise

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 20 Apr 10

What are you doing about gas prices now that they are around $3.00? Is it easier this time because you learned to cope last time? To me it just doesn't seem as bad, I guess I've been conditioned to the changes.

taraelocin There isn't all too much you can do,really. I need my car to get to work. I refuse to keep worrying about it as I don't have any control about it anyway. But I do try to drive sensibly, hence using less petrol.

taraelocin Welcome back! Well, there isn't always enough time in the day to do everything you want to do. I haven't been here a lot recently myself - there is just too much happening in the outside world.

Marriage -isit the beginning of destruction ???

theborneodew @theborneodew (68) • Malaysia 19 Apr 10

When two people are still in boyfriend/girlfriend level, there are so much love to each other, so much care.. Cant stand to be far away from each other. However, after marriage took place, things start to change. Sometimes after a...

taraelocin I don't think it is marriage or the pressure of marriage destroying relationships. It's far more that the initial excitement goes out of the relationship. Adventure becomes routine. The unknown becomes predictable. And sometimes living so close together shows...

Earthquake

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 15 Jan 10

I don't think the one in Haiti is not unusual, in the past several years there have been many quakes in different countries that have cost a large loss of human life. China has had several, but we don't get much news out of there...

Why do you love your boyfriend/girlfriend so much?

lilmuchang @lilmuchang (261) • France 15 Jan 10

I love my boyfriend because he's always goofy, he makes me laugh ( cry also at times ),he's not quite tall but not that short either, he's caring and takes care of me like i'm a princess, and of course because he's the handsomest...

taraelocin That's difficult to pinpoint. I just love him - I like the allround package, not the individual parts that make him himself. But when I first fell in love with him, I think it was him humour, his intelligence linked to a cute shyness that made me fall for...

How cold is to cold to bring the kids out to play?

cmhjjh @cmhjjh (98) • United States 13 Jan 10

I live in WI and it gets cold. The kids need to get outside though and burn off some steam they are 4 and 1. I don't like to bring them out when it is colder than 30 mainly because I don't want to be outside when it is colder then...

1 response

taraelocin Well, it depends. If it is cold, but dry, I wouldn't be too worried. You can wrap the kids up really warm. They'd only get bored in the house. But I'd probably limit it to 30 minutes or 1 hour max. If it is wet and rains though I think it is a different story....

"I LOVE U BECAUSE I NEED U" or I NEED U BECAUSE I LOVE YOU"...

hlgracey @hlgracey (68) • Philippines 13 Jan 10

For me id rather choose of needing the man u wanted because u love him rather than loving him because u just need him..there are some relationship that they just love their partner because of what they have not for what they...

2 responses

taraelocin For me to love someone because you need them is a rather selfish love. How much can and will you give back (and I am talking about feeling and emotion rather than material goods) to the person loving you if you are only with them for what they can give you.

taraelocin It is hard and I hope you feel happier again soon. Disappointed love hurts so much because you invest so much feelings. But once you are with the right person you will get rewarded for investment your emotions.

Encyclopedias a thing of the past?

macdingolinger @macdingolinger (10386) • United States 13 Jan 10

taraelocin It's true, the internet has largely replaced the use of encyclopedias. I have some old ones at home but haven't looked into them in a long time. I usually google things. That has the advantage that it contains more recent words and terms, is free and quick....

taraelocin I leave about 7:45. Just like you I try to avoid the traffic which gets quite bad if I leave after 8. It adds at least half an hour to my journey. So I rather get to work earlier and work a bit more than sitting in a traffic jam!

taraelocin They can work - I was in a distance relationship for quite a few years. But distance relationships are hard work. They require trust, but also committment. When you live so far apart you don't really share your friends and you need to make time to be with your...

taraelocin Yes! I know exactly what you mean - 24 hours don't seem enough to get everything done. But at the same time I am sure that adding a few hours per day we would just work more rather than play more. I am usually tired when I get to go to bed, so I am not sure I...

taraelocin For me that's no question - personality is much more important. Of course it would be great to have both, but you usually can't have everything in life. And I rather am with a man with a good personality who I enjoy being with, rather than someone I like...
