Did you forget your manners.......

dedicated_28 @dedicated_28 (1383) • United States 15 Jun 07

Now if I remember my upbringing at all, I remember my mother taught me four things: 1) don't talk to strangers 2)don't talk with food in your mouth 3)always put on clean panties before you leave the house since you never know...

portugirl It really irks me too when I encounter rude people. I don't know why it isn't natural for them to be nice or just plain polite to everyone? People are too much in a hurry to 'get on with life' these days they forget everything that should matter. What is the...

Wasted Day

portugirl @portugirl (108) • Singapore 15 Jun 07

Do you sometimes feel that you have absolutely wasted the day? Nothing really important done in the day? Today was one of those days all because the weather didn't look good in the morning and I decided to stay indoors with my...

Chocolate or sweets?

portugirl @portugirl (108) • Singapore 12 Jun 07

I heard from someone that if you want to give your children a treat, it would be better to give them a chocolate. Do you agree? Could it be because it is slightly more nutritious?

Tipsy While Posting?

emckee @emckee (465) • United States 11 Jun 07

How often do you post while tipsy or flat out intoxicated? I don't drink much but when I do it's usually a glass of wine that turns into 2 glasses, three, and so on. I'm enjoying a nice glass of Burgundy as of right now. How...

portugirl I like to post when I'm tipsy too and usually starts from a glass of red wine and then it becomes 2, then 3.... And yes, I get a little more daring and forward when I email or post when tipsy and probably write things I would not when I'm 'normal'. But I just...

A beggar asks you for money. What do you do?

gsmile88 @gsmile88 (151) • Canada 11 Jun 07

Do you give him/her the money or just ignore them? Some people think that beggars deserve what they get (i.e. they got kicked out of home because of something), and some people think beggars should be given another chance. I...

portugirl I think that if you give in good faith and with sincerity, not wondering whether the beggar is genuine or not, it good. But you are right, a little money maybe to buy him his next meal (not his next fix) would be good enough!

Do you expect your children to support you when you get old?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 11 Jun 07

I'm worried that I won't be able to support myself when I get older. But, there's no way I would ever burden my daughter with my financial problems. If she chose to give me money, then I'd accept it. But, I know that by doing...

portugirl Here in Asia, it is almost expected that the children have to support their aging parents or at least help out. I don't think however, that I would expect my children to give me anything and that is why my husabnd and I are already thinking about how to plan...

Do you check the toilet seat before and after?

smints8985 @smints8985 (1594) • United States 11 Jun 07

I guess this is one of my pet peeves. I always, always check the toilet seat before using the toilet, to see if there are tiny droplets of what could be urine, or if there are any stray hairs, I think you know which kind. And I...
