bontheka If someone says something negative to me, I usually try and explain or justify if I think I'm right, but I won't simply go on the defensive. It however does upset me very much and I find that I can't easily forget what's been said. I am usually very thoughtful...

bontheka I plan to start trying for my 3rd next month, but if it doesn't happen next month, then we're going to take a few months break before we start trying again. It's just that we'll be moving in a year's time and I want to make sure that I've either already had...

Officer kills man who beat child to death - This is just terrible.

lloydanthony111 @lloydanthony111 (4698) • United States 15 Jun 08

This is one of the worse stories I've read in a long time. Can someone please tell me what is going on in the minds of some people. Since the man who committed this crime is already dead, there is no use saying what should be...

bontheka I'm a mother to two little boys under the age of 4. It makes me sick to hear of something like this. Why did the coward have to vent his rage on the poor, defenceless child? If he hated the baby so much, it would have been better if he'd just put a bullet to...

any natural way to reduced the belly of pregnancy?

cheri_janine @cheri_janine (115) • Philippines 13 Jun 08

After pregnancy, I got even bigger belly because of the effect of pregnancy. Do you have any natural way on how to reduce it?

bontheka I don't have an answer for you as I'm in the same boat. After two kids, I didn't have a problem with shedding the pregnancy weight, not that I'd put on much extra weight to start with, but I do have a jelly belly. Quite often, I have a bloated belly as well,...

bontheka No, I don't think you're being selfish. If I were to say you're being selfish, then I'll have to give myself the same label. I'm a stay-at-home mum to two kids and I usually wish that I hadn't got married and had children, following an arguement with my...

What does it mean?

Simoneetah @Simoneetah (420) • Canada 5 Jun 08

Have you ever heard words used and just don't know what they mean? You hear them all the time but one day you finally ask "What does that mean anyway?" I was reading a post and the person wrote "contempt" and "disdain". Now I've...

words

bontheka Yes, there are words that I too have heard many times, but wasn't too sure about the meaning or simply didn't know. I'm usually too lazy to check out the meaning. Sometimes, I ask my husband and he'll try to explain it to me. Worst bit is, when people use it...

bontheka I don't think we did with the first one when we were actively trying, and with the second one it was more of an 'oops'. Now we're thinking of trying for a 3rd, and I have told some friends about it. The thing is, if it doesn't happen, then you can get support...

is ever late to say sorry

megaplaza @megaplaza (1441) • Nigeria 2 Jun 08

i always wonder if it is ever late in our life to say sorry to people we have offended, like how will you feel if someone offends you and comes out 2 years or 10 years later to say am sorry for what happened the other time, will...

1 response

bontheka Saying sorry is not easy for anyone because it's admitting one's fault, and people don't like admiting they were at fault. I'm wondering what I will do if someone I used to be friends with came and said sorry for ending the friendship. The friendship ended...

bontheka I agree with angemac23. You should watch the movie 'Blood Diamonds' starring Leonardo Caprio, if you haven't already. I don't have a diamond ring even as an engagement ring. My then fiancee (now husband) wanted to get me a diamond ring but my mum said...

bontheka I was born in Malaysia but I'm of Indian origin. I thought that in India, after marriage, the girl has to stay with the boy and his family, especially if he is the eldest. So what you're telling me is that isn't the case at all? Anyway, no, I don't find...
