Mother's Day should be every day or at least whenever she needs some alone-time. As a young mother of three boys; two years apart, my hands were full!

Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Should Paris Hilton profit from media interest in her jail-time reflections?: 4 of 96
No, she should not profit from her jail-time reflections. Why should society be interested in what happened to her while she was incarcerated? No one is interested in the memoirs of the poor or indigent, and they probably have more to say that would have to prevent children from going to jail than Paris Hilton!Why should we p... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Society & Lifestyle (Other) Happy people are productive people: 3 of 30
Not necessarily; because there are people who will tell you they are happy; yet they do not produce anything. They are happy just "existing" and are satisfied with their lifestyle. They are not producing to their fullest or using their talents or skills to share with others.Happiness is a state of mind that is relative to eac... More..
Celebrations & Holidays > Mother's Day & Father's Day How to remember your dad on Father's day: 2 of 20
Father's Day is just as important as Mother's Day; yet America celebrates Mother's Day more. In fact, it is one of the most traveled days of the year, and more flowers are purchased during that time. Yet, Father's are (in many cases) forgotten. They are given smaller gifts like a tie, a wallet, or just a card. They are just a... More..
