Shiva A hard act to follow for me though I have been married longer. I remind my wife to buy whatever she likes on her birthdays as I know she will do a better job than me. And at a lower cost too!

Shiva @innertalks Though the right thing to do is to speak up, I have found I am in a minority. I could easily make out when politicians hoodwink people but the majority falls for it. At the end of the day, reality bites where it hurts most, our pockets.

Let your adult child when they turn 18 decide what they want to be. Let them pick out the type of job that they want to have. You can not decide for them. They will not be happy doing the job that you want for them. You can...

Shiva It was the norm with Asian parents a generation ago. They could not become an engineer or doctor and pressure was put on their children to make them one. My son decided for himself from the age of twelve though he sought my advice.

Shiva Hopefully, more work can be done online so that less people need go to DMV. The uncertainty whether the job will be done is sort of killing

Shiva I know a lot of elderly have a sense of abandonment and loneliness when they are forced to live alone. In a way it is better to live separately and be on talking terms than endure silence when living with children.

Shiva @innertalks Common folks end up as mere digits summarily dispensed with in the altar of greed and ego of powerful leaders. That will be a sad epitaph for the human race.

Shiva That sign should prove a good deterrent for parents to keep their children under their control. They are warned loud and clear of the consequences that follow if they give a free rein to their children.
