It’s longer but it’s shorter

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382104) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Aug 17

You’d think someone would have made a mistake saying this but actually it can make sense. When we’re trying to decide where to go while we’re travelling in France, we’ll put the name of a town into the GPS and she’ll chug away for...

Cats and dogs

mommaj @mommaj (23112) • United States 15 Nov 15

We got a cat and dog as part of our family. They get along extremely well. The cat is actually the ruler of the house. The dog seems to be a human toddler. Do you have animals that should be enemies that get along well?

at the moment I think I have gotten better, it's the very moment I have gotten worse... I appreciate what others have but don't, what I have. I do what I don't want to do. I easily give in when I strongly feel like not. I...

Unfortunately my husband and I now are complete opposites. Before and when we were first married we had the same goals and outlook on life. We both had wanted to live a simple life, and focus our time and energy on volunteer work....

cheerfulnuts @cheerfulnuts (604) • Philippines 28 Mar 12

I believe in the saying opposite attracts. I think being with someone different will make you wiser. Your differences will also make your relationship much more interesting. However, when it comes to money spending, I always see...

Do opposites really attract??

dont_pick_your_nose @dont_pick_your_nose (2279) • Australia 12 Apr 11

I have found that most of my friends are very similar in nature and although some of them have very different traits or quirks and skills, we are all very much alike in many ways. So do you think opposites really attract why...

Opposites attract.

Lore2009 @Lore2009 (7378) • United States 19 Nov 10

Do you think this is true, that opposites attract? I think it is true, but I don't think it means a relationship with opposites will work out. I was with someone who was complete opposite of me, and I'm sure that was what...

cripfemme @cripfemme (7698) • United States 29 Dec 09

I don't. I tried to for a long time because I thought it would broaden my horizons, but I've discovered that this is not necessarily the case. If I'm totally different from someone, why would I want to go out with them? We would...
