Does your heart flutter when you think of him? Do you think about him all the time? Is life hardly worth living unless you're with him? Did your hands touch and sparks flew? Sorry, it won't last.

Relationships & Family > Cheating Spouses & Affairs Adultery: Affairs are a "forgivable sin": 15 of 83
Do you notice that those who say affairs are a "forgivable sin" are usually women whose husbands have had affairs, but they had some compelling reason to stay together - e.g. because they couldn't manage financially, or because of fear of being alone, or due to religious convictions, or for the sake of the children. In earli... More..
Health & Fitness > Depression Free treatments for depression: 4 of 20
One of the simplest "free treatments" for depression is to smile. Smiling releases a small amount of "feelgood" chemicals in the brain. If smiling is the last thing you feel like doing, put a pencil or pen sideways between your teeth, which will bend your mouth into something like a smile. Your brain can't tell the differenc...

Personal Finance > Retirement The road to early retirement: 3 of 15
By the time most of us start hankering for early retirement, it's too late to tell us we should have started investing in our 30's! Too often, we find ourselves hurtling towards the big five-oh - or even 55 - before we think seriously about it. However, that doesn't mean the goal of early retirement is out of reach. Realisti...

Jobs & Careers > Job Interviews Tips on making a lasting impression at a job interview: 6 of 26
To impress an interviewer, you need good answers. The STAR method provides a structure to ensure every one of your answers is the most effective it can be.

Personal Finance > Retirement Realistically determining how much you'll spend in retirement: 3 of 13
Approaching retirement, we all wish we had a crystal ball. How easy planning would be if we knew how long we were going to live, and how much prices were going to go up! Because of those unknowns, fear often keeps us working longer than we need to. No one can wave a magic wand and turn the unknowns into certainties, but you ... More..
Health & Fitness > Asthma Natural remedies for asthma: 4 of 17
There are two ways asthmatics can reduce their asthma symptoms: (a) by avoiding the things that you are allergic/sensitive to, and (b)reducing the inflammation (which is what most modern preventive puffers do). Avoiding the things you're allergic to sounds easy - but first you need to work out what these are. Don't make assu... More..
Health & Fitness > Vitamins & Dietary Supplements Cranberry supplements and their use to treat urinary tract infections: 4 of 17
Cranberry's role in urinary tract infections (like cystitis) is much misunderstood. Actually, cranberry supplements are more useful BEFORE you get a urinary tract infection, than when you have one! Cranberry has been proven to be a very effective preventative. It acts by stopping the bacteria getting a grip on the inside of ... More..
Education > Education (Other) Should public school children wear uniforms?: 24 of 100
Ask any schoolgirl and she will answer a resounding "No!" to this question. Every child hates his or her uniform, because the word means what it says - a uniform is dull, bland, the same as everyone else. There's no opportunity to show individuality. But (and we'll get to this later) that's why uniforms are good! Ask many pa... More..
Style & Beauty > Style & Beauty (Other) Why do people stop caring about their appearance?: 10 of 41
One of the key reasons why people stop caring about their appearance is depression. Most people can relate to this in a small way - if you are sick (say, you have the flu), you don't feel like doing your hair or fixing your make-up, and slouch around in your PJ's all day instead of getting dressed. Serious depression has the... More..
