Working on folding and hanging up the laundry

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (123604) • United States 22 Jun

I have a confession--I RARELY fold my laundry. I do it (wash/dry) on a regular basis obviously but after many years of working at The Gap I simply cannot force myself to fold and hang clothes even 20+ years later. I would agree...

Thelma The clothes will not be looking tidy if you don’t fold them after ironing or laundry. I fold my clothes after laundry if I don’t have to iron them.

Do you pass the hat around relatives?

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (15318) • Philippines 21 Jun

When you need financial help badly and don't have any other options, do you pass the hat around your relatives? A cousin of mine did this. I was quite shocked because I never did that. I mean, I asked for help from relatives I am...

The more you talk, the less your mind thinks, and the more you fail

Erly Maglangit @cacay1 (85184) • Cagayan De Oro, Philippines 16 Jun

The more you talk, the less your mind thinks, and the more you fail, a testament to being illogical. Let your mind talk, not your tongue. Focus on the things that could resolve the issues of your financial troubles. If you keep on...

Thelma That is a good advice. When I am angry, I talk less and calm myself. Talking a lot doesn’t solve a problem.

Housewives are unsung heroes

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (15318) • Philippines 19 Jun
