Evacuee @Evacuee (1147) 15 Feb 07

Do you think children should go to funerals of loved ones? This discussion came up in our family last night and my daughter in laws family did not agree with me that they should. I said that I hoped my two grandchildren come to...

skiprincess It is wrong to stop children going to funerals - it helps them to come to terms with the persons death, and death in general. Its all part of lifes experience - the sooner you get used to it - the easier it becomes to bear it. Its probably a good idea for...

Eye! Eye!! To operate or not to operate that is the question!

Bizziebod @Bizziebod (3497) 15 Feb 07

Have you or would you have laser eye surgery? Does it hurt? Does it work? Do you think you should leave well alone and be happy with what you've got? Luckily I've got really good eyesight but I expect it will go at some point in...

We must tax petrol highly in the USA to stop the pollution of the planet

michelledarcy @michelledarcy (5220) 11 Feb 07

Don't you think that the biggest petrol user in the world should be forced to reduce the amount it uses by taxing the petrol and diesel. It is unfair that other countries do this and America have such cheap fuel.

skiprincess Yes, its a good idea to raise US fuel tax in an attempt to reduce the consumption of petrol and diesel... BUT... as a brit, where we pay an huge amount of fuel tax - it hasnt stopped the increasing number of cars on our roads. And what would happen to all...

kumikosuzuki83 @kumikosuzuki83 (161) • Japan 17 Jan 07

I've been chatting to a man online who I met on Mylot for a week or so now. He seems really nice and it turns out that he lives near where I am. Last night, he told me that he wants to meet me? What should I do? Do you think...

skiprincess Please do not rush into any meeting with him - you do not know him too well - a week is not long enough. If you do decide to meet him, take some friends or relatives with you - there's safety in numbers, NEVER go alone. He could be a really nice guy - or he...

Long Hair or Short Hair

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45941) • United States 10 Feb 07

For the last four years I have worn my hair short. I visit my hair stylist about once every 8-10 weeks to have my hair cut and styled. Up until four years ago I had always worn my hair long, sometimes styled around the face,...

17-yr olds shoot and kill horses. Should they be tried as adults?

crazynurse @crazynurse (7482) • United States 10 Feb 07

My community is reeling in shock. Two boys, aged 17, drove to a reclaimed mine site and shot 40-50 shots at a herd of horses who were grazing on grass. Three horses were killed and several others wounded. The killed horses were...

skiprincess They must be tried as adults. They knew exactly what they were doing and that it was wrong. where did they get the gun(s) from?? A 17 year old knows that it is wrong to damage, harm or kill things that are owned by other people. If they are old enough to...

Are Dentists Scamming Us?

Pet Lovers - would you do this?

rosie_123 @rosie_123 (6113) 10 Feb 07

There was a news story in our UK newspapers this morning. A lady has had a diamond made from the ashes of her two dogs, and a cat, and had it made into a ring, so she can wear it all the time, and keep her beloved pets with her...

skiprincess I think that this is a nice idea. It is not just only for pets - human ashes can be made into diamonds as well! Its better than having an urn filled with ashes sitting on your mantlepiece. You wear the diamond to remind you of your loved ones - especially on...

Great tip that puts thieves off so you don't lose your equipment.

WebMann @WebMann (4731) • Canada 9 Feb 07

When you need to leave your skis for any reason split them up if you can't lock them up. This way a potential thief will only see one ski and why steal that, right?
