Illness & Loss

natnickeep @natnickeep (2336) • United States 19 Jun 12

How do you deal? I have trouble when the issue is close to home. I don't know what to say or how to just be there. I can give others advice, but when it comes to my life I just curl up inside. I freeze and don't know what to...

tajara2008 Hi Porcospino: Sounds like two things to me... firstly the shop keeper is just after a publicity stunt to gain more customers. Perhaps his number in customers had dropped off and he was using this as a means to attract new custom... Secondly he must be a very...

winterose @winterose (39887) • Canada 18 Jun 12

tajara2008 Hi Winterose: Its sad when parents or others compare you with somebody else whether it be a family member or anyone else. Its like they are trying to mould you into that person instead of allowing you to be an individual with your own personality and traits....

Do you like reading books that have been made into movies?

jcordova888 @jcordova888 (156) • Philippines 11 Jun 12

Do you like reading books that have been made into movies? I consider myself lucky to have been lent by friends good books that echo a country's historic past, like Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns....

tajara2008 I dont mind reading books that have been turned into movies as often they differ in minor or sometimes a major way to make the movie flow better or appeal to a broader audience... The one i think that i always remember and love is Oliver Twist.
