"I'm so disappointed in you."

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 21 Jan 11

Did your parents ever say this to you? and if so how did it make you feel? Me? My parents never said it. Looking back it was a good thing because if I had heard that, I would have stopped trying to do Anything good. I assume...

lydneis Everyone's different, and honestly like I said people use words like this as a weapon more times than not so it's probably better that way. There are more diplomatic ways to criticise, but some people do need a harsh lesson once in awhile.

Today is crazy hat and hair day at the twins' school. Usually Naomi goes in with a hat, but today she wanted to do something with her hair. I was thinking of doing a bunch of crazy braids, but she changed her mind, and did the hat...

lydneis We had spirt week at my highschool and each day was a different theme. Pajama day, twinkie day (dress like someone else), etc... It was interesting that's for sure. I was never really into to but a lot of other people had fun with it.

Fighting for Love? How worth it is?

screwdriver @screwdriver (643) • Philippines 21 Jan 11

I am still not over with what happened between me and my ex-girlfriend. I just love her so much and that I have given my all just to have this relationship work. Does fighting for my love to her worth it? Does winning her back...

lydneis That unfortunately is a very personal decision. The real question is will fighting for her going to hurt her and is it worth the end result. Depending on what you do you may just force her further away. From my experience it's best to let her know how you...

Can you outrun your shadow?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17380) • Canada 21 Jan 11

[i]I think it was early this morning, I was in deep sleep and was dreaming of some life-mistakes I've made in the past, when I woke from my TV running a Stargate Atlantis ad where one of the character said, '[b]can you outrun your...

lydneis I don't think it's possible to out run it because it's part of you. You can ignore it or accept it, but it's still there. As much as some of us would like to just leave it in the dust, it's always right by our side.

Should states be able to claim bankruptcy?

snbutterfly @snbutterfly (259) • United States 21 Jan 11

There has been some discussion on whether or not a state can declare bankruptcy. I don't see how it can. A state can cut a lot of funding before it even thinks about bankruptcy. In fact, many states just pay out way too much money...

lydneis Definately agree that their salaries should be dependant on the budget. It's rediculous that these people (state and federal) are making a living running us into the ground.

Can you really bring yourself up, by bringing others down?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17380) • Canada 20 Jan 11

I work in the office side of a big manufacturing setting. Within the organization are a lot of mid-level managers that help run the company. Once a week they have a meeting to account for the decisions they've made in achieving...

lydneis It's a lot easier to make yourself look good by pointing out flaws in other people than to actually work hard. Unfortunately people are lazy so that's what they do. We live in a world that rewards people for steping on everyone else. I will never get ahead in...

How do we use this amount?

Polang @tkonlinevn (6427) • Vietnam 21 Jan 11

My parents have just had a big money amount. We wonder how can we use this amount? My parents always dream about a bigger new house which is more clean and beautiful. They worked hard for a long time. Now they need to be done...

lydneis I agree, if it's your parents money you and your siblings don't really have any claim on it or say in how they spend it. They supported you throughout your childhood and deserve to spend some money on themselves if they so choose. if they want to help their...

What if your wife can't cook, and you can't cook either?

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 20 Jan 11

So, in such situation, your wife doesn't know how to cook, and you don't know how to cook either, what would you do then? You simply can't go out and pay for the restaurant, or take out every single day. Or you can't rely on your...

lydneis This is why they invented microwaves and instant meals. I can't cook so it's this and things that don't need to be cooked. If it is really a problem for you there's plenty of resources to learn. No it's not going to be quick and may be inedible the first time...

lydneis My parents never said it, but there are times they probably should have. In my case I've always been really hard on myself so other people tend not to criticise me. It's actually really annoying. I can know that I'm doing something wrong but no one will...

Hard choice..lover over mother/father

sammy14 @sammy14 (834) • Philippines 21 Jan 11

lydneis I don't understand how people can look at this in terms of black and white. Yes family is important, but that doesn't mean they're always right. If I were certain I was in love with someone and they were in love with me what other people think doesn't matter....

It might not be "your fault", but it's not mine either and it's YOUR problem.

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 21 Jan 11

Nobody wants to take responsibility for their own situation anymore. Somehow it's my job to pay for everyone else's problem. I get it, a lot of people lost their jobs when the economy went south, heck I was unemployed too for a...

lydneis Yes there are people out there taking advantage of unemployment. I personally know people that won't look for another job because they'd be making less than their benefits, but it's the same thing with welfare. There's always someone taking advantage of the...

Should our government tax us less on income than on sales tax?

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 21 Jan 11

Here is the dilemma, and if we could vote on it? Facing the current economy, although we are on the gradual recovery, should our government tax less on our income tax, and more on sales tax? Or vice versa, tax more on our income...

lydneis The difference between luxuries and necessities is key. If you raise sales tax it's the same across the board no matter your income, so the necessities become unabtainable to low income families. If you do income tax based on a percentage it is a little more...

lydneis I agree that the present is what we need to focus on. That being said, if your past affects your day to day life you need to do something about it. Not everyone can just let go of the past. Your experiences shape you so who you are today depends on the past....

How to help slow learners in your classroom?

alokijon @alokijon (665) • Malaysia 10 Jan 11

lydneis Just my two cents, but when teaching I believe you should always have multiple ways of explaining/teaching things. Some kids may seem slower, but just not understand one way of looking at it. You also have kids who learn better by hearing/reading/doing so...
