Lostinoz I guess it has good points and bad. I can remember visiting my grandmother when I was a child and she would read all of the letters she had received and keep us updated on family members. I do miss those days, too. I am making it a point this year to...

I've had a couple of homies who sleep talk and it's hilariously annoying sometimes when you're in the middle of your REM cycle and suddenly you hear them talk or sing. People said you can ask their secrets and they would be open...

Lostinoz I had never thought of it as being unusual. : ) I may do a search myself and find out how unusual it is. This happens probably once every other month or so. Now my curiosity is piqued.

I wanted to post something on this, but decided to think about it for a few days first. And I have to say it still bothers me. Whatever day it was not too long ago (Friday I think, or maybe Thursday) I turned on my tv. Well, my...

In keeping with the spirit of Christmas or whatever it is that makes it OK to start using up that quarter second of your life to look at kindergarten level "discussions"- I thought it'd be nice to retaliate, and generate...

Lostinoz Okay, okay I give up! That last comment had me laughing so hard I know I could NEVER top that one. I hope I at least managed a chuckle from you. I saw a post you made on another topic referencing this one and I had to come and see it for myself. I am not sure...

Lostinoz Ambition requires a certain amount of imagination, does it not? Perhaps as humans they were never taught to spread their wings and fly? Or maybe they are afraid of strong wind currents? I am just a simple goose, too simple to be afraid.

Lostinoz She sounds beautiful inside and out. It is so wonderful to have a mother-in-law who is loving, kind and generous. There are so many who do not have this in their family. They argue and this causes much division in the family. My mother-in-law is also beautiful...

The town where I grew up had only one family that was other than Caucasian. Today I live in Eugene, Oregon, a city made up of a large number of different races, although still predominately white. There is an occasional flare-up...

Lostinoz I was watching a special our local news station ran on the latest growth of new hate groups in America. I was really surprised at how rapid these groups have grown in the past 5 years. I was also surprised to learn of all of the races these groups are...

How many have had a change of heart regarding their faith or core values? What prompted the change? What level of proof was needed to overcome your established beliefs? How long did it take you to realign your actions to your new...

Lostinoz I am not sure which change you are talking about when you ask. If you are asking what changes in my life as far as the church, I quit attending church every time the doors were open. I was taught to believe that if you are not in church EVERY time the doors...

The internet has become the hottest thing in socializing and making new friends. But do you regularly talk with people in your own area offline? Do you spend more time with real world friends or online friends?

Lostinoz I actually had not thought about it, but you are right! I use : ) quite often to point out that my conversation is not meant to be harsh. It really is kind of sad. I guess there isn't much of an alternative with more and more communication being online.

My family goes all out when decorating for a holiday and it doesn't matter which one. We have two Christmas trees at Christmas. One is formal and the other is decorated with items my children, friends and family have made. This is...

Lostinoz It does take a lot of time doesn't it! After January 1st, I usually turn to my husband and say, "We are not doing this next year." : ) Of course we always do and it just keeps growing more and more each year. I don't really do a theme either as I like all...

Lostinoz Oh my goodness! I had forgotten about those! We used those at school during arts and crafts when I was in grade school. That would be the highlight of the day, going to the office and pulling that big roll of paper out and then dragging it down the hallway....

Lostinoz Yeah, this was definitely a good thing my parents did for me. I am doing this with my kids, too. Sometimes it can be hard keeping those lines of communication open, but I don't want them to feel they cannot come to me when they need me the most. I have...

As my kids have grown, I've tried to instill in them both self-respect and respect for others (of ALL ages). If they behaved poorly in a given situation, I know I've said, "do you want to have a reputation for being someone that...

I hear a lot of people say that a relationship must be 50/50 from both partners in order for it to succeed. I don't believe this is possible all of the time as circumstances can demand a partner give 75% when the the other is...

Lostinoz There would have to be balance in order for it to work. You are right. I have seen some horrendous relationships where one or the other felt they had absolutely no rights within the relationship. I have seen others where one seems to give and give to only...

Lostinoz I agree with you completely. I understand the giving of 100% from each partner, I was just basing it on two halves actually becoming one. : ) Kind of idealistic I know. I would not want to be in a situation of having someone who consciously wanted to stay...

Lostinoz Isn't that the truth! Have you seen the new disposable "party" tablecloths that have lace on them? They are so pretty and actually liven up the table instead of those plain, plastic table coverings.

Lostinoz Hey, we aren't related are we? : ) It would be nice to have this kind of support from actual family members. I would be interested in hearing how you discipline yourself to actually "walk away from it" pertaining to work that needs to be done. It seems there...
