When you need alcohol to be able to do something, or to need it to change yourself in some way, or to need it to be able to handle something, Miki: She never said she "needed" alcohol for anything. Perhaps you should re-read her article without your personal bias in place. The word "need" appears nowh
Does anyone remember actually going outside and playing. Not computer games or anything but actually playing where you had to *shudder* actually MOVE around and (perish the thought) use your imagination?
I have also noticed a decline in basic writing skills. While my penmanship probably leaves a lot to be desired, I am still able to write in such a way that most people can read it without any difficulty. That is, of course, assuming that they can read at all. I prefer writing with paper and pen. I enjoy the tactile sensation of putting pen to paper and scrawling out my thoughts onto the page. As for spelling, I have noticed a serious
More people need to take an active stand when they know about these things. (And there is almost always somebody who knows it's going on) A couple of years ago I was with a few of my friends at our favorite watering hole. A couple came in and sat at the bar across from us. The bar is horseshoe shaped. Well within a few minutes they began argueing about something or other and he slapped her hard enough to knock her off her stool. Well,
I'm so impatient - wanting everything right here, right now. You're not one of those people who yell at the microwave oven to hurry up, are you?
Personally, I think the stuff should be stored right in the politicians back yards. They made it, let them live with it. I think it's good stuff. Think how much easier it will be to get around at night once we all glow in the dark. Seriously, I agree that something needs to be done. For years I have advocated the use of 'big dumb rockets' to move the stuff off the planet entirely. The sun is one big nuclear furnace and seems a perfect
Some folks think that anything made from honey is 'mead'. I haven't had a tankard of mead in over 20 years. I didn't know one could even buy mead in this country. (USA) I first drank mead in Europe and thought it was great. The last time I had it we had made our own and it had actually turned out pretty darned good. Was ready, along with our home-brewed beers, just in time for New Years Eve in 1983. It is pretty good stuff, but
Changed my mind about the tank. Buying a horse and buggy instead. Just learned oats are cheaper than gas or diesel
Your honesty is refreshing. There are many many Christians out there who may well feel the same way, but hide their feelings out of guilt and shame. Yes, to be a Christian means sacrifice in the physical realm. It does not mean you (we) are not the same as everyone else, with the same problems, temptations, and confusions that everyone else experiences. Getting it out into the open like this is a good way to deal with it. While I do not have t
In February of this year I received a ticket for 'improper lane change' while driving my rig through Georgia. The ticket was bogus. The cop was standing up the road, outside of his car using his laser gun. I signaled, waiting for the lane to clear, and moved over so as to not pass too closely to the cop. Well, he says I cut off a car when I changed lanes wh
Good luck to you
Happy birthday
I honestly believe the Blue didn't mean any offence by his comment. I agree
Takes time to make 'real friends'. Don't be accomodating or sell yourself short. You'll eventually meet people who like and appreciate you for who you are. Cut yourself some slack and give it time. I have a feeling you'll do great.
Btw, are you referring to the 'imposing your belief system' comments Not at all. actually this article predates the other. I was actually referring to some comments made by people in other articles which, at least to me, seemed like over reactions. All comments are welcomed on my articles as
Thanks Sally and Shades. Shades, I am looking in to that, thanks. appolyon: thanks for the input but I have already decided that suicide may not be the best option. And while my first reaction was to delete your post I chose to let it stand as it is an honest one and I respect that. without further whining
To create the favorites you go into your account and set that up. I'm not expert enough to give step by step, but it starts in the "my account screen". I would say that from there you simply follow the steps. I won't say it 'obvious' as I don't know your skill and experience level with computers and so won't insult you in that manner. Links are created using html. When I want to use links in an article I usually write the article in an html ed
Very well put. i don't mind if you worship an egg whisk. I almost spit out my coffee on this one. While there are some aspects and considerations of 'trying to convert' someone that involve love and sincere concern, I understand exactly what you are saying and applaude you for it. A
Do you know what can be done to fix it up? The problem with my back is chronic and degenerative. I've had one surgery back in 1999. It did restore use of my right leg but also resulted in increased pain due to nerve damage. There are also problems with other discs and the SI joint. All extremely pain
Oh, Dharma. While I appreciate the thought, don't waste time on the VA. I would die before I asked them for help. I have some very strong reasons for that which are too personal and painful to expound on here. (Has to do with the death of my father) Suffice it to say that they are not an option at all. Thanks you very much anyway.
Firstly, I'll say that I do believe in God and the suggestion was not at all unwelcome, as were none of the others. I appreciate and, rankly, am overwhelmed by the response to my bit of self-pity and whining which I personally find disgusting. it's not what we do when life is easy that develops our character, it's what
Even our collections of aches, pains and scars record our life's history. Very insightful article.
Yep, just what we need. Most of the motoring morons can't maneuver on the ground, just imagine the wrecks falling from the skies like hail.
I usually sneak in through the bathroom window
The bright side about an SUV though is that you won't have to worry about another SUV annihilating your car! That's why I ordered a tank from the Army surplus store. Should be here next week.
