I was in a very similar situation. Its very important that you address this as soon as you can, otherside problems only grow. Leaving my last job was one of the best decisions I ever made. Good luck. more…

Woah, harsh words.

But I really do feel sympathy for her.

When you look at her 'celebrity' status, you are not looking at her but all the people around her who made money with her, she is engineered and has simply accepted the work and the money coming her way. Greedy, yes. Evil, no.

As for maximising the publ more…

I find it really difficult to go to the gym. I used to go a lot when I had friends to go with to motivate me but alone I've never been to the gym. I have a workout set at home and love sports but I find it really difficult to motivate myself to do things alone. Do you have any recommendation? more…

My sister recently told me that I was a “pear” shape. I almost cried. I hate being referred to as a fruit. I know that most people use these terms to describe our shape, but there must be a nicer way to call my shape. So I decided to do some research...

I found a website that actually uses much better terms to describe our bodies. They more…

I just completely stumbled upon this. So... are you finally out of debt.

Great story by the way, I bet you got a load off your chest by writing that!

You learned an important life lesson and I'm sure you will be just fine in the future. If you want to help share your advice with others you can try also our forum at www.deb more…

I was checking out people on line.

I am really glad to see you are recovered from drugs or at least you are aware that drugs are dangerous and bring nothing good. This is a good step, I am thinking though that there are so many people specially young people in this world that don't have the opportunity to breath fresh air as they are surrounded with drugs that steal their lives day more…

I think, you are doing a good thing. You have only one body and if you destroy it in youth, what will you do when you are old? I personally do not drink alcohol. Firstly because I don´t like it and secondly because I always want to have myself under control. I think, that people who drink to get drank are just hiding their problems and should find more…

It does look a bit gloomy doesn't it. I expect more of the same this year. Look out particularly at local government. The introduction of free bus passes is the single biggest cost for local authorities (even eclipsing wage bills). Unfortunately central government only funds a small percentage of this. So watch out for increased Council tax and red more…

I would never delete your post.

You are right up to a point- adversity does shape us if that is what we are faced with- we are the sum product of all of our experiences, and if adversity is what we are faced with, then it helps direct us as people and help determine the choices we make.

The impact it has had on me though more…

I told my chidlren when they were young that their choices in life were theirs,I did this for two reasons, 1) So they had to think about what they wanted and where they wanted to go, and 2) So they couldn't come back and say it is your fault, when their lives didnt turn ou more…

I'm sure if I was in your shoes I'd feel the same way. It's good that you've got your credo - in years to come I hope although the words remain, any sense of anger will disappear.

the question you need to ask yourself is will you regret it when they are gone. If the answer is no, then you are fine. If it's yes, you should try and do something before its too late. more…

skinny jeans for guys and girls have been around for generations, since the 60's etc..
skinny jeans have made a popular comeback in fashion so it's fashionable for everyone to wear them. The ones which complain are the fat ugly ones lol.
