militarywife I'm not sure why it should be overcome. I mean, if you are shy to the point that it inhibits you greatly, and you can't function in social or professional environments, that's one thing... but if you are just naturally quiet, I don't think there's anything...

Do You Drink and Like Milk?

wmg2006 @wmg2006 (5381) • United States 29 Jan 07

I hear more and more people tell me they hate milk. Or they only drink it in their cereal. Or they have an intolerance to milk. I would die if I couldn't drink milk! I have been told twice to cut back on drinking so much,...

militarywife I hate milk with a vehement passion. Gross. Gross, gross, gross. I have always hated it. Ironically, I am the only one of my parents' children to be lactose tolerant. I take calcium supplements to get around my hatred of it.

Do you write your grocery list?

CatEyes @CatEyes (2448) • United States 29 Jan 07

Do you write your grocery list or do you just wing it? If you do write you own list, do you actualy stick to it and save money or would you save money if you had not written it in the first place? I have to say I like to write...

militarywife I wing it, but I am thinking that starting a list would be a good idea. I always go to the store and figure I will just remember whatever it is I need, but inevitably I forget something and curse myself when I get home, heh.

Do you play any musical instrument??

smints8985 @smints8985 (1594) • United States 28 Jan 07

I used to play piano, I had lessons in school when I was in the first grade and I had a private piano teacher during the summer of my first grade. But unfortunately, I kinda forgot how to play the piano now. I really regret that...

militarywife I used to be an avid clarinetist. I played in a well renowned symphony orchestra. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to stop. I miss it all the time, but am too afraid to pick it back up... I know I would be much worse for all the...

chopsuey @chopsuey (97) • Malaysia 23 Jan 07

militarywife Sana'a, Yemen. It blew all of my expectations out of the water. The people were welcoming, friendly, and so eager to show their beautiful country to me. The countryside itself was actually not very attractive, but it was made beautiful by the passion and...

militarywife I don't know anymore, because I finally took the plunge and quit driving. (Well, I do drive sometimes, if I have to go out of the city, but that's pretty rare.) For years I've been challenging myself to do this. I finally just got fed up with expensive gas,...

What motivates you to stay on track while losing weight?

tendaheart2002 @tendaheart2002 (495) • United States 28 Jan 07

I have been embarking on a life change, not so much a diet. A diet you do for a short time to lose x amount of pounds. A life change you decide that a better way of eat and live. I am excited because my new method and program are...

militarywife I come up with little rules for myself. I can't do things like say, "I will exercise 30 minutes a day." Or even, "I will only consume 1000 calories a day." It's easier to just forbid myself from certain behaviors. For example... I do not drive on weekdays....

Turning myLot into "a job".

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 29 Jan 07

It's no wonder so many people have large numbers of posts. They don't do much. I'm up around 582, and I'd have written several thousand words. I'm fussy about what discussions I pick. Ever notice in any job there are people...

Men Or Women in the military

littlefranciscan @littlefranciscan (18327) • United States 29 Jan 07

Who do you think makes a better soldier and why? I, am a woman, but I think a man makes a better soldier.. I think that women have more sensitivty then men and this may get in the way if they have to "shoot the enemy".

militarywife I think it absolutely depends on the job and the person. Personally, I would not be well suited to many military jobs, particularly those of a mechanical nature... I hate to generalize, but I am like many women who can't put something together to save my life....

militarywife I write poems, but I hate them... generally I just keep a journal. I like chronicling my life's experiences. It's fun to go back and look at them later and reflect on how much I've learned and grown.
