How does the mountain-climber know he can climb the mountain; simple, he simply asks himself, "Am I Willing to Make it to the Next Ledge?"The Next Ledge for a writer is the next 'section' of your writing (essay, report, story, script), the height-&-steepness of the climb is 'what you have to write about' & 'who you have to write it to' (for example: if I were writing this to grammar-students, I would've called the height-&-steepness 'the thing about which you are writing' & 'the readers to whom you have to write'[em]lol[/em])But studying the evolution of language (& that's a little more than just 'being a big fan of Lady Marina "HotForWords" Orlova, Ph.D.), you find out that language evolved from people expressing opinions-&-facts to each other---not 'nerdy teachers sitting around defining grammar-rules' ... the grammar-rules are 'more like guidelines' from the way a community...

hi pikefish the appearance of an assistant doesnt bother me,as
I look pretty darned good for an elderly lady.ha. no what puts
'me off is the assistant who practically breaths in your face
and steps on your feet, and keeps asking,can I help you? and looks
at you like you were going to steal something. I always say no I'
am fine, I am just looking as I really am not sure what I want.'
then she bumps into me almost, grrr,and, oh I can help you and I
am thinking dont breath on me,get back,and I say no take care of
the others, I really will come to you if I need help.she leaves,
very reluctantly. a lot of times this so tees me off I go to another shop where I am left to browse on my own without the gestopa breathing down my neck.

With the possible exception of China, the Netherlands boasts more bicycles per capita than any other country - at least 16-million bikes for the 16-million Dutch. Roughly 30% of all urban trips in the Netherlands are on bicycles, compared with 2% in the UK

ha! That's funny. I make mistakes often when people are talking to me when I'm typing. I will type what they are saying rather than what I really wanted to say. I once told a lady that she needed to clean her room when we were talking about washing dishes or doing laundry. She laughed. Thank goodness. I was embarrassed. Oooops ha!:-)
I have lots of favorite songs of the 80's because I was already a teenager then. But what makes 2he decade so memorable for the Filipinos?

1986 - when i was in 1st year college, Cory Aquino ousted Marcos and proclaimed as the first Lady President
1987 - the birth of new constitutionjust a bit of the Philippine history
I think that children should be taught at a very young age to take responsibility for their actions. When they are young, an apology is normally sufficient. As they get older, there needs to be more depending on the circumstances. For example, my 5 year old step-son stomped on my daughter's toes a few weeks ago. Of course, she cried, and it hurt her. I made him apologize, and explained to him that he doesn't like it when someone hurts him, he should not hurt others. He is a soft hearted little guy, and just those words and having to apologize were enough. He understood. Now, last summer, when my oldest was 11, he, along with my other two, ages 7, and 6 at the time, were throwing rocks and bricks over a fence into a lady's yard. She was very upset, even though they didn't actually hurt anything. So, in that instance, they all had to not only apologze, but also pick up all that they had...
Sometimes I see many beautiful women walking down the street wearing next to nothing! I think it doesn't look so good, but many men seem to stare and smile. Are men attracted to this?I've always thought of myself as quite wholesome, but when I walk down the street, men don't stare and smile like they do to the girls in short skirts. Should I change my style to be more of a "sex kitten"?

There is a lady who lives on our street. She is 81 years old and lives alone. She doesnt have any children and never married. She lives in a small apartment by herself. I saw her always alone and befriended her if I can call it that as she is almost 50 years my senior. I mean I went out with her to the park a few times/she likes to go out/, I go to see her to see if she is ok and invited her to my home. This lady is lovely/character/, but I doubt I ever saw anyone so dirty. Her coat is black/used to be blue/, her blouse is grey instead of white, her skirt is so torn. I did make two skirts for her hoping she will wear them but she never did prefers her old skirt. I told her I can help her with washing her stuff, I said sheets as an example as I was worried to upset her/if she'd think I;m suggesting she wears dirty clothes/ and hoped after washing them more things will follow. She...
In most of the cases ladies accept whom they get for marriage. I want to know whom they prefer; sports person, bussiness man, well educated, rich people, actors or anyone by profession.
