Who are you closer, to your Mom or to your Dad?

markmoney @markmoney (2868) • Philippines 19 Jan 09

Me I used to be closer to my Mom because at my early age, when I was about 5 years old, my Dad started to work abroad and just coming back home every year or two years to stay for just one to two months. I grown up seeing mostly...

acecaliber I'm actually closer to my dad than my mom-even though he was more strict to us than her. I think this is because she was often at work, so I never really got to see her much. Although my dad also worked, he cooked us dinner and drove us to school, karate, etc....

If you don't want people to make assumptions then don't start a discussion

rosdimy @rosdimy (3926) • Malaysia 18 Jan 09

I have only been active on myLot for only two and a half months. During this short period of time I have read many discussions and responded to several of them. What stumped me was the reaction by certain posters to responses made...

acecaliber Yes, I've noticed that people often do make assumptions based on a discussion, but I think this is human nature...we like to categorize things and organize things which helps us make sense of the world (that's why stereotyping is so hard not to do). However,...

I cant stop watching FORENSIC shows!!

acecaliber No I don't think it is weird at all. it is just like some guys who love watching sports and watch it 24/7. e.g. they order channels that are dedicated to only sports. Or people that watch music videos on MTV all day. Nothing too weird about that unless it...

timmons @timmons (120) • United States 31 Dec 08

My friends and I were pretty wasted last night and the conversation came around to the old classic conversation piece of would anyone sleep with another guy for a million dollars. Well, of course the majority of the guys answered...

acecaliber Yeah it sounds like he was just drunk and was trying to make a joke?? In anycase, it shouldn't be a big concern of yours. Maybe you can ask him if he really meant it at the party.

What if your only bro is a gay?

izathewzia @izathewzia (5134) • Philippines 16 Jan 09

Way back in college, my classmates and I were throwing questions that illicits thinking and voicing out opinions. One question thrown to me then was "What if your only brother is a gay?" I answered it by saying, It is okay. But if...

acecaliber I would accept him for who he is. Yes, at first I would be shocked, but then I would be proud and honoured that he trusted me enough to let me know. I think that it is his life to live, and who am I to judge or tell him how to live that life. If he is happy...

What are you doing to save money?

LaurenInLA @LaurenInLA (2270) • United States 17 Jan 09

I'm very new to living frugally. Since the economic upheaval, I've become more and more concerned with how we spend our money. So much waste. One of the first things that I took a look at were our phone bills. We have a land line,...

acecaliber Yeah, I've hidden my credit card so that i don't get tempted to buy things that i don't need. I've also started to budget and record what I spend on so that I can see where I am overspending. I have also started looking at those pesky flyers that grocery...

On which HAND do you wear your WRIST WATCH...Left or Right???

uditpanda @uditpanda (1023) • India 18 Jan 09

Its probably a custom to wear the watch on the left wrist...most people I have seen do that. But I have also seen people deviating the rule,who keep it in their left wrist. I think the decision should be about personal choice &...

acecaliber I wear my watch on the left. I have tried wearing it on the right, however since I'm right handed, it feels awkward and often not as easy to quickly glance at the time when I'm doing things like writing. I don't think it really matters which wrist you put the...

acecaliber Yeah, that also makes me very annoyed. There seem to be a lot of inconsiderate people out there. It's not that hard to put the thing back with the other carts. I think it helps if the store makes you deposit a dollar or two to get the cart in the first place....

Do you use garlic in cooking?

janyen @janyen (623) • Netherlands 18 Jan 09

sukumar794 @sukumar794 (5040) • Thiruvananthapuram, India 18 Jan 09

When you are pressing hard for money, what will you do? sell up your favorite books,electronic gadgets or worser still, household appliances. I would not be reluctant in giving away my favorite belongings for a lesser price when...

acecaliber I have 100s of books that I can sell. I don't even know why I bought them, they are just taking up space in my house. The only thing is that I'm too lazy to pack them and all the hassle of shipping them. If I am extremely pressed for money, I would sell the...

acecaliber Have you brought up this issue with your mother and siblings? Maybe they are not aware that no one is calling each other. E.g. a brother may think that his other siblings are calling mom, so he doesn't have to as often. one way you can try and stay in touch...

Could You Say, "NO"?

acecaliber If the relatives needed the money for an emergency then I would definitely be more than happy to help out. I don't think I would give money to them just because I have a lot of extra cash. It would be hard to say no, but if you don't be assertive, often times...
