I have so many wonderful memories of my mom. She raised me to respect other people's feelings. Not to judge anyone. She would tell me "to thine self be true". What are some of your special memories of your mom? Do you remember...

Jo1272 I am sorry to hear that you don't have any fond memories. I think the hard work it takes to be a great mom is well worth it. By you making sure your two babies have you when they need you, does make you a great mom indeed! Blessings for you and your two...

isn't it quiet very ironic that we keep on remembering moments of people long have gone to somewhere to the road of no return? and worst to these, we remember everything - even the sad, humiliating and aginizing parts. and then at...

Jo1272 My mother and a sister have passed away. My sister passed away first, she was 38 years old. My mom passed away two years later. I remember them because it helps me to keep their memory alive and I still feel their love when I think about them. For some, maybe...

One of my weekness is that I always try to change others' behaviour and used to be rarely successful. These failures make me restless and feel like failure. I may think that I can change the whole world. But I realise that it is...

Jo1272 some good advice. I guess, I have high standards than what someone else might have. I have this mind set of the rule, "do unto others as you would want done unto you". This is how I was raised. I am not perfect. But I try to live by this rule and sometimes it...

Throughout history, many have asked the philosophical question "What am I here for?" If we were to examine what people spend their time and energy on, we could see that a great amount of resources is spend simply on sustaining...

Jo1272 I believe in what you say to be true. If I may, I would like to go a step further. I don't know if you believe in God but I do. And I believe with all my heart, that a destiny awaits me. This destiny had been decided by God before I entered in a flesh and...

Jo1272 Well, when I am faced with a tough decision. I sit down and write the pros and cons. I as well write down a variety of solutions and then rate the importance of it. Here is an example..( 1-least important 5- fairly important 10- very important) Problem:...

NY Senator Chuck Schumer's calls for a "no ride list" on amtrack. This would mimic the sweeping, oppressive and ineffective "no fly list". Do you think this is playing into the terrorists hands? Should we find another way? Would...

Jo1272 You are so right on the need to make sure that the ones that have over stayed their welcome, be made to renew the visa. I think this could create jobs! If we could hire some folks to check out the lists or applications of who wants a visa, those who have...

Jo1272 I like to help other people. I have had to learn the art of teaching them how to fish while I give them a fish. I have had moments where I have fed, given a ride, a place to stay. And I have been burned by it. You kind of feel like an idiot after the fact. So...

I tend to hate smokers but then I always make myself believe that it's their freedom to smoke. Yet, I too have freedom to inhale fresh air specially if we're on the same area and there's no way to get rid of those smokers.

Jo1272 Well, I am one of the person's you "hate". I am a smoker. However, I respect the ones that do not smoke. Because of recent studies, people who inhale second hand smoke are at the same risk for lung cancer that a smoker is. My husband doesn't smoke. I go...

Jo1272 I think you don't have to leave. If you could pick a couple days to write while you are in your discovery, you will see first hand the growth. Try not to be too hard on yourself. Sometimes we need inspiration to write. There are a rainbow of things that would...

Jo1272 I have done the same thing. I think if we take responsibilty for our own behavior it might help others to see the example. People have different beliefs, and personalities. That is why it has been called the "great melting pot". I have become a loner for quite...

Jo1272 You said it perfectly! I think we need to cut all ties with that country. We need to remove ourselves from any country that is not American soil. We need to stop funding them and we need to take measures that help us get back to the land of the Free!

Jo1272 A-men! I wish they didn't bury him at sea. So his radical evil followers wouldn't have a place to continue to worship him. He has already posioned the earth, and now the sea. I think they should have burned his body.

Jo1272 Well, my suggestion for you, is make sure you find out what you can take with you on the plane, and the things you can't. I don't think you can have a cell phone on the plane. Prepare yourself to be touched in places that you will feel you need a shower and a...

I was wondering who likes to make their own pizza. What do you put on your pizza? I like going to the store and getting all the stuff and make my own personal pizza. It tastes better to me, and I enjoy the art of creating it.
