ChampagneGiggles As a born-again Christian and incredibly busy single mom, I would be completely frazzled if I didn't have my half hour of meditation each evening. The leaders at my church encourage quiet reflection, whether you use that time to pray, clear your mind, or...

ChampagneGiggles If you have an extra $150 to spend, I'd suggest investing in a Kindle or other electronic reader. I bought one, and I use it daily, more than I use my phone or computer. It has direct Internet access, so whenever you decide to try new reading material, you can...

Judicial hanging.

DoctorDidi @DoctorDidi (7018) • India 10 Feb 11

Hanging to death is a criminal offence to be condemned by all. Judicial hanging is also a type of murder but the difference is that it is sponsored by the state itself. Do you think any republic has the right to kill its own...

ChampagneGiggles Morally, I feel we do not have the right to take a life, regardless of the crime. Personally, it feels good to know that someone who raped and killed will die. But economically, we cannot afford it. Capital punishment trials in California cost six times more...

ChampagneGiggles To preface this, I didn't see the show, so I don't know all the details. But am I the only one who is slightly sickened by the thought of a grown woman being with a child? If he was 16 at the time of the relationship, I mean. There's something very wrong, very...

gladys46 @gladys46 (1205) • United States 31 Jan 11

Breaking news ... a Fla. federal judge has stricken down newly enacted Affordable Health Care Act declaring it "un-Constitutional"! What are you views?

ChampagneGiggles I'm no Republican, but Judge Vinson was absolutely correct in striking it down. If the federal government REQUIRES me to purchase something, it breaches on my liberty. I believe affordable health insurance should be made available, but it shouldn't be required...

ChampagneGiggles A sprinkle of sugar in addition to the salt is one of my kids' favorite ways to eat it. And of course you can add crumbled bacon, chili powder, a splash of tomato sauce, or sausage. Pretty much anything goes well with macaroni and cheese.

ChampagneGiggles I love spaghetti - I could eat it every day too! For a nice variety, I might use spinach linguine noodles. They're incredibly tasty and unique. I toss them in a tiny bit of olive oil and sea salt, then add sauteed onions, squash, tomatoes, peppers, and...

ChampagneGiggles To be fair, the U.S. doesn't have a national language. And on the basis of freedom, no one should be forced to learn a language or snubbed because they don't know it, no matter how prevalent the language. That said, it would probably be more prudent to learn...

ChampagneGiggles I sincerely feel for you. I'm sorry your husband doesn't appreciate a godly woman when he has one. You said he won't go to marriage counseling - I recommend you go ahead and go on your own. It might help you see your marriage from a third party perspective....

ChampagneGiggles Truly a sad story. However, I find it mildly insulting to hear people group all of today's youth together as crazy, inconsiderate, emotional, etc. Firstly, people of all ages commit suicide over failed relationships. Secondly, it's not a new issue. Think of...

ChampagneGiggles putting the ring up for sale was definitely an unwise choice. I personally wouldn't have done it. But I don't necessarily think it was a public humiliation. You have an idea of the situation, and you frown on her not her husband. So I don't think the husband...
