Switching
We all grow up vividly imagining what we’ll be when we’re older; “I’m going to be a vet ‘cos I like animals” “I want to be in the army and fight baddies” Ideas, like passions, at that age though come and go; usually changing from one week to the next but there tends to be one that sticks firm. In the real world, however, the one of rent, bills and, well, life, necessity rules out and our dreams are dismissed as naïve childhood whims. And so we find ourselves sat at... Dec 21, 2006 02:02 PM It’s happened. Someone has finally realised your true potential and offered you your dream job. Only catch, it’s in another state. Time used to have it that people lived, worked and died in the same place they were born. But in this era of itchy feet, leaving your roots for pastures new is by no means uncommon and with career now top of most people’s priorities, relocating for work opportunities is universal. Nowadays it is almost unusual to stay put. But what happens when you are the... Dec 20, 2006 02:53 PM These days, everybody is aware of global warming. Many people try to reduce carbon emissions by cutting back on fuel and changing lifestyle habits. Public transport is suggested as a way forward to reduce the amount of cars on the road and a pathway to a cleaner future. Along with the benefits of public transport, there are many downsides that need to be improved. Dec 20, 2006 02:42 PM These days everything can be done online – even paying most of your bills! The convenience and the amount of time saved from paying online is what keep thousands of people using an online bank account to pay their bills each month. If you have never thought about it then you may want to start now. After all wouldn’t it be so much better to simply sit back, click a button and not have to worry about anything for another month? Dec 14, 2006 08:44 PM Addicting, this freedom we all enjoy. You get used to it and you may end up alone, some warn. Despite the disadvantages of being single, however, some of us simply like the elegance of solitary living. It's not as if we're completely alone. If we feel like breaking bread with someone, we just call our favorite person. If we feel like traveling to Nepal and go mountain trekking, you know instinctively who the perfect travel companion would be. There's a lot to be said for being a perpetu... Dec 13, 2006 07:13 PM Cellular phones. What in the world would we do without them? If you're current calling plan is more of a hassle than help, perhaps you should consider prepaid cellular. Prepaid cellular is now offered by many wireless carriers and although prices vary from carrier to carrier, the idea is the same: you buy the phone; you buy the minutes and you pay as you go. Think of it as the cellular equivalent to long distance calling cards. Have you fulfilled your two-year commitment to your current... Dec 12, 2006 08:58 AM Bills. They're as certain as death and taxes. They don't discriminate on the basis of color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status. They arrive almost daily in crisp white envelopes. Once a month we have to sit down, get out our checkbook, find the stamps and start paying. Always a fun way to spend a few hours...not. Have you ever considered paying your bills online? Sure, it can take a bit of time to set up, but the end result could save you time, money and agg... Dec 12, 2006 08:54 AM You've tried breastfeeding. Whether you've breastfed for the first few days to get the benefit of colostrum or the first few months for the overall health benefits, you may reach a point where you consider switching to formula. This is a deeply personal decision and varies from woman to woman. In the end, you have to decide what is best for yourself and for your baby. Dec 12, 2006 08:50 AM There are many reasons why people change their names. The most common reason for changing your name is probably when women take their husband's last name when they get married. When children get adopted, they will likely take on the family name of the adoptive parents. When people immigrate, they may change their name slightly (or a lot) so they will assimilate better. I can easily think of some pros. Are there as many cons of changing your name? Dec 08, 2006 07:56 AM The alarm goes off at 6am and you're out the door by 7am. You share the next 18.7 miles of highway with all of the other commuters heading to work. You arrive at your office, park in your usual space, grab your usual cup of coffee, walk the same 27 steps to the elevator, press one of the two buttons that you ever use, nod at the smiling receptionist and walk to your office. Is THIS what it's all about? When the routine gets old, maybe it's time to consider changing jobs. Dec 08, 2006 05:47 AM When marriage becomes monotony, should you consider having an affair? Let's be honest, marriage is tough. Work, kids and responsibilities can leave little or no time for intimacy, much less sex. If marriage counseling is not an option and you don't want to leave your spouse or your family, but your mind craves companionship and your body craves the type of raw sex that has nothing to do with love - should you look outside of your relationship to fulfill those cravings?
