Re: Damn It TWITTER!!!! This Follow Thing Has Gone TOO Far!!!

Ed it never made much sense to me to automatically follow everyone back. i want to follow my gurus, mentors and people that generally have the same interest as me. If they follow me back-cool. If they don't also cool, as long as I'm getting their info.

Re: Have You Ever Felt Guilty About Your Intercultural Relationship?

I am not Asian - rather I'm white but we have those intercultural barriers also. I have raised my daughters to be free of prejuidice but I have also told them that some intercultural relationships could cause problems. For example I have made them aware that Muslim men have different expectations from women than a man from our background has.

In my opinion if you are already supporting yourself and not dependant on your parents for security then it is your decision. It makes more difficult if you still require your parents to provide for you.

As a parent myself I could never disown my daughter, even if i wasn't happy with her decision about which man she falls in love with. I would always want to be part of her life.

Just tell your parents that your boyfriend is one helluva nice guy and you'd love to introduce him. Don't even mention his background. Show them how happy you are in his company.

If they really dislike him after they've gotten to know him they must tell you what the reasons are. Not reasons based on culture but rather on qualities like lying, stealing, cheating etc

Since i was a little girl I kind of questioned whether cooking is what we're menat to be doing to our food but my mom said a warm cooked meal is good for the soul - haha. Only now that I'm grown up and free to do what i want do I eat a lot more raw. I'll admit I'm not 100% raw yet. I do applaud myself for giving up coffee, meat and diary. My daughter has acne and I keep telling her to not eat all that candy and stay away from MacDonalds but she's a teenager and thinks she knows better. At home she gets organic fruit and vegetables - mostly raw meals so I hope I'm being a good example to her!

So you see it pays not to follow the herd! I know all about hearing my mothers voice - for years I couldn't really enjoy sex cos I saw my mom standing in front of me!

Seems to me the Times people don't really understand what#s going on. It's a whole new dimension that's happening.
