I always hear my single friends saying "opposites attract" and I always wonder just how true that is. Looking at my friends and family, in fact, none of the relationships that last seem to be opposites. To me, it seems like it...

Martinishakerer I think there needs to be a certain amount of similarities and opposites. They needs to be a good balance. If someone is so similar they might bore you but if someone is too opposite they will just annoy you. You need to find someone who shares a few interests...

Facebook Crash?

Jennlk84 @Jennlk84 (4205) • United States 16 Jun 09

Facebook is acting so weird for me right now. Everytime I type the address in : www.facebook.com , my internet browser just closes. It's so weird! I'm not having this problem with any other website I visit. Have you ever had...

Martinishakerer Weird. It's working for me, do you use Mozilla firefox or internet explorer? I would try using which ever one you didn't before. If that doesn't work, try restarting your computer. It might be due to a update your computer downloaded.

Martinishakerer Sometimes you just need to do something new! Picnic on the beach, tour of some wineries, cooking dinner, rose petals in a bath... the possibilities are endless. Usually somewhere along the way your lover has given you some sort of tip off to the things she/he...

Martinishakerer It's always been my strong belief that when you break up with someone you are doing it for a reason. Usually a very good reason or even a few. That reason usually never changes. People don't really change. Sometimes it is hard to see this if you feel you still...

Martinishakerer I think there is nothing better than a hot bath when I am sick. I also think the sauna can help get rid of your cold faster. It's like you are sweating out the virus.

In America, garage and yard sales are very popular during the warmer months. Some peole have them every year. I have had 4 in my entire life. Each time, though, I've accumulated many things to sell, so the profits were good. The...

Martinishakerer I think the trick to these things in marketing and location. The more people know about it, think that it's going to be big, and has an easy location to get to, the better I think you can do. Also having items that people are looking for. There must be a top...

Who does the cooking in your household?

trinee @trinee (514) • Trinidad And Tobago 16 Jun 09

Women usually do the cooking in the home but there are some men who cook and can cook very well. I do most of the cooking in my home. Who cooks in your home?

9 responses

Martinishakerer I think it really depends on who is better at it. However I do think if one person does most of the cooking the other person should be willing to pay for a nice meal out at a restaurant.

clorissa123 @clorissa123 (4926) • United States 16 Jun 09

Martinishakerer It really comes down to how much you care about image and how much you care about your financial future. I think a lot of people have gone into the "red" trying to keep up with the Joneses. I personally prefer to be frugal. Also there is no point in spending...

Would you treat your boss as your friend?

clorissa123 @clorissa123 (4926) • United States 16 Jun 09

At work, your boss is your boss, you obey his order, and you do what he asked you to do as work designated. What about at lunch time, or break time, it is more about your private time, totally unrelated to your work. Would you...

Why can't they just get along?

perrygunight @perrygunight (555) • United States 16 Jun 09

It's been almost a month since we got a new cat, and she and the old cat still don't get along. Cat #1 hisses and growls at cat #2, who chases her and slaps her. We tried introducing them after each had smelled something with the...

Martinishakerer I've noticed a lot of cats get along better if you let them meet "natural". Putting one in front of the other automatically feels like a confrontation to them. Eventually they will get along, let them figure out their roles in each other's lives.

Martinishakerer I think a lot of people, especially in the U.S. get very wrapped up in their careers. It is what it is, a job. Even in a recession, there are ways to make money and take on other jobs. You do not need to stress yourself out so much. I do feel that when...

Martinishakerer I really think if you are marrying your significan other, you have to take what comes with them. This includes their friends/family. I'm sure if you don't like one of their friends, there is someone you are friends with that they don't like either.

Martinishakerer I think it's definitely important to keep learning. There is so much out there, especially after college, a whole new world is opening up to you. I think now it's even more important to not get stuck on just one career path. You can't just be a one-shot...
