problem solving

whatrow @whatrow (792) • United States 6 May 12

When you have a big job to do, or problem to solve, do you get rid of the easiest things first? Or do you like to take on the most difficult task right from the start. I do the easiest first. It creates the impression that things...

Last Will

whatrow @whatrow (792) • United States 20 Apr 12

Have you written a Will? I did it years ago and it was a big mistake. Because, things change. I am not in the same financial position I was in before. So, as of now, I don't have any money to leave to anybody. Also, people die or...

artistic masterpieces

whatrow @whatrow (792) • United States 10 Mar 12

I saw "The Phantom of the Opera" on television during its 25th year celebration. I had no idea that this story was so powerful and so jam packed with emotion. The agony and lonliness of the Phantom. The overwhelming love he has...

I have two families of kittens. One was born a week ago Sunday and the mother nested behind the end table in my bedroom. The second family arrived yesterday and were born in a closet which adjoins my bathtub, a very difficult spot...

fear

whatrow @whatrow (792) • United States 24 Feb 12

Do you want to know in advance that you will be experiencing a difficult situation (heart surgery)? Or would you prefer that danger come upon you without warning (a mugger in a dark alley)? In my opinion, knowing in advance...

Coffee Shop Millionaire

whatrow @whatrow (792) • United States 18 Feb 12

Has anyone here ever heard of a program called "Coffee Shop Millionaire"? If you get any mail from them, delete it. The idea is that you earn money simply by taking your laptop computer to a coffee shop with WiFi. I am interested,...

remembrance

whatrow @whatrow (792) • United States 17 Dec 11

When someone dies, especially if it is a violent death, the relatives and friends say things: "He was such a good boy." "He was a great athlete." "She was an excellent mother." What do you think people will say about you when you...

The holidays will soon be here. And food is a big part of our celebrations. Does your family prepare any special meals for the holidays? I don't like to cook, so I can't contribute to my own discussion.

whatrow @whatrow (792) • United States 12 Sep 11

Most of Sunday's sermons were about forgiveness. If you had lost someone on 9/11, would you be able to look Bin Laden in the eye and say, "I forgive you."? I think it would depend upon whether or not he was really sorry. Of...

We are constantly beseiged by ads. It is not only the pop-up ads online or the junk mail we get. But, frequently we receive little post cards inserted in our magazines, or cards packed loosely in our bills and other mail. Of...

Yesterday, I was finally able to get the haircut I have been waiting all winter for. As my locks fell away from me, my tensions went with it. I started to become relaxed for the first time in a long time. I felt very good....
