    Friendliness or Flirting?

    Another thread has me questioning how other people view "flirting". I tend to be friendly and joke around with people sometimes, and it doesn't matter what gender or age they are so I've ever even thought to consider that flirting. Men, women, elderly, children... I just like to smile and...

    Can a person's nature change?

    Is it safe to assume that a rebellious child is going to grow into a rebellious adult? Or that a child with a generous nature will be generous in adulthood? If a young child has a terrible problem lying to his parents, is it likely that he will grow up to lie to his boss, his wife, his...

    New Year's Resolutions 2013/2014

    So... did anyone have a "resolution" for 2013? Did you keep it? Does anyone plan on making one for the new year? My informal resolution for 2013 was to get in shape and stay there. I am happy to say that I did it! Still have a long way to go but I'm working out 3-4 days a week, have...

    Catherder's clever woman trap made me start thinking about how shoes kind of characterize someone's personality. If you were a pair of shoes, what kind would you be? Pics, please! I would probably be:
