Bashing of God is everywhere... on myLot, Internet, other forums...

friendship @friendship (2084) • Canada 26 Nov 07

Whenever I go online, I can find people who are always bashing of God. Well, myLot's forum is one of them. One of Ten Commandments says that "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain". Someone whom I know...

CoffeeWoman When you get down to it, are they "bashing God" or simply bashing organized religion as a whole? Especially consider the athiests and agnostics... they do not believe in a god, Christian or otherwise. How can they, therefore, be bashing something that does not...

youless @youless (112497) • Guangzhou, China 26 Nov 07

I have to say that I am not a child any more. But sometimes I think I am childish. Besides, I have a child and therefore I have enough reasons to buy toys:) I buy various toys for my son. And actually I personally like some of...

CoffeeWoman Oh, yes! With a young niece and nephew, I'm rediscovering all sorts of toys that I was "too grownup for." As a matter of fact, a most amusing tournament happened at my sister's house over the holiday weekend. One of the toys (a basketball game where you need...

creematee @creematee (2810) • United States 29 Oct 07

I got to thinking about the toys my children receive every year for Christmas, other holidays, and their birthdays. Ever since my first child was born, (8 years ago) I have tried my best to make it a point that if it required...

CoffeeWoman I agree! My niece and nephew (3 and 2, respectively) have tons of toys - perhaps literally tons. They beep and play music and sing and make all sorts of noises. And, yes, the kids do play with them. I've noticed, however, that they gravitate to the toys that...

somnolence @somnolence (460) • United States 13 Jan 07

One of the most difficult symptoms for me to manage that I get from Borderline is periodic dysphoria, where I feel very bad for no apparent reason. It feels like a heavy weight, and I don't know how to make is stop, because even...

CoffeeWoman IMHO, I think you've found one of the few things that work. I was on Effexor as well and had to come off of it because of adult-onset diabetes. After some messing around, my doctor finally put me on Zoloft, which I've been on for four years now - it has made...

Has anyone ever tried Maynard's wine? There are only 2 ways you can get it. Either you order it online (which is brand new) or you physically visit the vineyard. i really want to try some of his wine, but the least expensive...

CoffeeWoman What I wouldn't give to try this wine!!! (i'm a fledgling home winemaker and a Tool and A Perfect Circle fan) Unfortunately, I'm in one of the states that can not receive mail-order wine (sob). Nor do I know anyone in states who CAN get it. (what Uncle Sam...

CoffeeWoman Whenever I find that I can't get my bobbin adjusted (for one reason or another) and start losing patience, I take it to the local Hancock Fabric store and one of the ladies is usually able to help me resolve the issue. :)

CoffeeWoman I can't say I have an affinity for one breed over another... as long as they are soft and purrrrrry and loving, they are beautiful. I'm owned by a 8-yr-old snowy-spotted-lynx-point-bengal, a 7-month stray who is marbled in light misty orange and a 3-4wk stray...

Full yards, Fat Quarters or Jelly Rolls?

creematee @creematee (2810) • United States 8 Sep 07

Which do you prefer??I have to admit, I've never tried jelly rolls. They do, however, looks so yummy! hee hee. My quilts usually required bigger cuts than what the jelly's provide, but I think they would make string piecing so...

CoffeeWoman Hmmm... so hard to decide... I love fat quarters because I can get lots of different fabrics. (yes, my "signature" look is scrappy LOL) If I find a fabric that I absolutely fall in love with, I buy a minimum of 3 yards. I love the look of jelly rolls and want...
