Are You "Living In Sin?"

MegDM123 @MegDM123 (145) • United States 6 Jul 09

I don't like calling it that, but my mother sure does :) I like to use the word "cohabitating", because that is what we are doing. We have pooled our resources, share the responsiblity, and have agreed to be committed to each...

silverjam I like our cultural practices when it comes to marriage (of course not the gossip thing there). We are still holding a high standard of morality when it comes to relationship. Here in the USA, they are very loose about it. Living together w/o marriage is very...

Do you eat fish?

gicolet @gicolet (1702) • United States 29 May 09

My husband doesn't like fish. He said it stinks. He just can't stand the smell of fish. I think fish is good. Not all fish are super duper delicious but i think it depends upon how it is cooked. I like baked salmon but I don't...

Do you leave a tip when you eat out?

beamsey @beamsey (425) • Philippines 29 May 09

I know that when you're a student, you don't have to leave a tip. Also when there's service charge, the tip you leave is much less than what you leave if there's no service charge. But even as a student, I still leave a tip. Also,...
