In_a_Crafting_Daze I would prefer to drink my coffee and have a smoke HOWEVER... I don't smoke in my house so unless the weather is nice and I can have coffee on my porch I usually have to drink, then go smoke.

In_a_Crafting_Daze I know how you feel! I have had my best friend for over eight years. Behind his back she will tell me that she knows its wrong. She'll tell me about the things SHE wants to do, SHE wants to learn, or SHE wants to go. It'll never happen. Even when she gets the...

In_a_Crafting_Daze I get this feeling everywhere! I spend my time making sure my kids look clean and put together (because you'll get looks from even more people when your children look disheveled!) and then I just grab my bag and flip flops and go! I actually left one day with...

In_a_Crafting_Daze I think everyone grew up with "bullies" and I know of very few people that didn't experience being "picked on" when they were young. It is a part of life. HOWEVER! The picking and bullying isn't like it was in the 70's and 80's. It is cruel and hateful! I'm...

In_a_Crafting_Daze I agree with the first half of that statement. The second half I might have issues with it. If you're speaking medically, then I tend to think those who believe faith will heal all disease may be risking alot, however I also believe that if God has determined...
