udaymohan @udaymohan (437) • India 21 Aug 10

Recently, one of my very old friend, his wife and their ten year old son stayed with us for two days. While we enjoyed the company of our friend and his wife, the kid made our life hell. First thing he did to soak our...

chickabee Okay, this child is way too old to be pulling such stunts, especially at his parent's friend's house. Quite evidently his parents haven't given him any training at all, evidenced by the fact that they laughed at him for his destructive behavior. This will have...

Hi Everyone, From the time I was in grammar school I've always enjoyed shopping for supplies for going back to school in the fall. After I left college I actually missed it! Then I started the enjoyment of it again when my son...

I went to the grocery store on Monday and on the way out a man stopped me. He was a Jehovah Witness giving out the Watchtower magazine. Ok I didn't panic since I love to share the word of God with people when possible. We talked...

chickabee Hi PDBME2 - I do understand your dilemna because I have been there myself. Have you ever before had a discussion with a Jehovah Witness? Generally, they are very well prepared in what to say and they are fervent in trying to win converts to their beliefs. I...

chickabee I know what you mean. I have been told all my life that the two subjects that can get people hot under the collar are religion and politics. I don't like to argue or even debate. However, when it comes to my Christian faith I will not hesitate to tell anyone,...

Do We Ever Grow Out of It?

dorannmwin @dorannmwin (36392) • United States 19 Aug 10

Drama that is. I've been out of high school for twelve years now and I really thought I left behind the cattiness and gossip spreading when I was younger. However, I have just discovered that it isn't behind me, it is just going...

chickabee I grew up with a mother who thrived on telling tales behind peoples backs. 99% of which were untrue, but when I was young I didn't know any better. I don't think she was happy unless she had a drama going and she was always the "innocent" one. She loved...

chickabee Hi alaskanray - it is funny to me that you mention this. I despise food smelling fragrances. I can't stand coconut or vanilla or even most fruity smells. I love to eat it but not wear it! Do guys like this? I would really like to know. My husband is not too...

chickabee I have loved dogs all my life. My dogs love me unconditionally. No matter what I look like, or how much money I have or if I am having a bad day they still love me. They don't know we are poor, they think we are rich. I never could understand how anyone could...

Just wondering ,whydo banks have so many teller windows when only a few are used

Patsie Hatley @Hatley (163772) • Garden Grove, California 15 Aug 10

Everytime I go to my local bank I have to stand and stand in line and see at least twice to three times as many closed windows as ones that actually have tellers at them. So I have wondered why even have that many if they never...

chickabee Hi there Hatley - I totally feel your pain. I can't stand for long periods either due to neuropathy and arthritis. Ten minutes is about my limit and that is pushing it. I do have a mobility scooter but no way to take it around with me. What is unfathomable to...

chickabee I may as well jump right into this can of worms, too. I was born in 1946 in the Deep South. Which may lead you to think I am a racist, but you couldn't be more wrong. I remember two water fountains everywhere, one marked "white", one marked "colored". Same...

Have you ever judged a person by his/her appearance?

liweiwei0909 @liweiwei0909 (403) • China 13 Aug 10

chickabee Of course we should not judge. However, sometimes it is impossible not to do so. When I see a woman or young lady dressed provacatively, like with her chest showing and maybe with very short shorts and her rear end showing, I think she might have loose morals....
