surfette I'm so sorry for the terrible situation you are in. I know it doesn't help much, but you are not alone. I live in the 14th worst city in the U.S. and 5th in unemployed people. One in three children are in poverty and our crime is through the roof. Several...

surfette I'm a real gadget nut, especially home products for cleaning or cooking. I've actually bought several items but not from the commercials because the shipping and handling is ridiculous. Also, some of the commercials sign you up for a newsletter or additional...

irishmist @irishmist (3814) • United States 8 Mar 10

surfette I have a problem with the name and concept of this show. All of the episodes I've seen do not really display what I consider as hoarding. They are just dirty and filthy and learn to live in that manner. I have a stepson and wife that aren't quite as bad as the...

surfette Back in the 70's it all started with those books like "Looking out for #1", "Be Your Own Best Friend", etc. People misunderstood the concept and that's when I started seeing the ME generation. Rude and selfish, unable to say they are sorry, and as my husband...

surfette Many people use money as a measure of success. They feel that if they have done well, then it validates them as a person. But, there is much more to the story. People that grew up poor who finally are comfortable enough now that they don't have to worry about...

surfette Isn't it a shame when people have to criticize others that are trying to do good. If everyone did their share, we wouldn't have the sad situations we are seeing especially in our cities. Some people just like to tell others what to do or what's good for...

Are good manners "old fashioned"?

valentinesdiner @valentinesdiner (1214) • United States 29 Jan 10

Manners like holding the door for someone or asking with the word please in the sentence. Are all of those things out of date?
