Today is my birthday

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 22 Oct 07

Hi Friends, Yes, I've reached another milestone. It's birthday number 68. Nothing special planned, but cards, gifts and telephone calls from family and friends. Life is good. Blessings.

MikeMe Happy Birthday! Hope it is filled with love and good blessings (as opposed to BAD blessings, right? :)

Would you rather live fast and die young or live boring and die old?

wotfpatty @wotfpatty (2065) • United States 7 Aug 07

Maybe people I know say they want to live fast, do crazy things, get it all in and die young before they have a chance to get old. Others say they want to live as long as possible and are not taking any chances by acting...

MikeMe How about live like I believe is right and die whenever it's my time? I really believe none of us gets to choose when we die, even when we commit suicide. That's deeper than I want to get here, though. Yeah, sometimes I get bored and sometimes I do stupid...

Britney Spears loses physical custody of her kids. Should she have?

wotfpatty @wotfpatty (2065) • United States 1 Oct 07

I just read that Britney lost custody of the kids as of October 3. They will go to Kevin Federline until further notice. Here is the TMZ.com story:"TMZ has learned Britney Spears has lost physical custody of her kids. L.A....

MikeMe What I think is a real shame is that we even know about it. What happened to reporters gathering real news??? How dare we think we have the right to intrude on this private thing just because they are celebrities. Like you, I feel bad for the kids more than...

How do you deal with people who oppose your ideas?

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 11 Sep 07

I don't really mean to point fingers, I am also guilty by such. I have come to notice that people who start 'serious' toned discussions tend to be defensive and would be angered when a person opposes their ideas. Discussions...

MikeMe You make an excellent point. Even if your are positive you are right, you have to respect other's viewpoints and treat them respectfully. Some people feel really threatened when they are disagreed with and I think its an issue of low self-esteem. They think...

He called me an idiot! I don't take kindly to that sort of thing!!!

I have been married for 23 years. For the most part, I have a loving relationship. Sure, we have our own interests and our little quibbles with each other and all that but come on, 23 years we put up with each other....

MikeMe I think we've ALL said things we wished we could take back. Anybody who says they haven't should either just sprout their wings and start flapping right on up to heaven, or, as is probably the case, carve off those horns they just grew and throw them in the...

Your very favorite, gotta look fantastic mascara? I need it!

wotfpatty @wotfpatty (2065) • United States 9 Sep 07

I have been through zillions of mascaras and can't find THE one that gives me length, volume, no clumps, and no flakes. I like long, full lashes and all the mascaras I have tried either don't lengthen enough or do but clump and...

Believing doesn't make it so.

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 5 Sep 07

One of the comments make in a recent discussion, was "just because you don't believe in hell, doesn't mean there is no hell." That's a very valid point, and one that can be used in many ways. A blind man may not believe in light,...

MikeMe I see your point, but I think we need to take it a step farther. One of the greatest enemies of our souls today is this concept of "relative truth". Just because it's true to me, doesn't make it true. Many people believe many things, often in the face of much...

Are you a "Never Say No" person?

MikeMe I've been known to have the same problem as you! Hard for me to day no. Seems too much like being mean. I've learned, maybe a little over the years to say no sometimes. It's still hard but I had to just for my own sanity. I just had to remember the world will...

"God fearing?"

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 27 Aug 07

Okay, now it's time for my Christian friends to help me out a bit here. I've heard this phrase a LOT, used online, used in sermons, used by Christians in their everyday lives, etc. Why exactly would you follow a God that you...

MikeMe Think of a good father or boss. You might love them and respect them, but, if they were good at what they were doing, you had to be just a tiny bit afraid of them, too, especially when you did something they forbade you to, right? I fear my God only in the...

wotfpatty @wotfpatty (2065) • United States 26 Aug 07

The World Series

Do you think The Braves will win The World Series this year? Why or why not? And what are your thoughts on this topic??

MikeMe I am a life-long Braves fan, but I think they have no chance at the World Series. That have one of the best lineups in the game, but their pitching is VERY thin. Once you get past Smoltz and Hudson they have nobody who can be relied on to keep them in the...

Paul and Women

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 19 Aug 07

What did the apostle Paul have against women? His attitude towards females is quite different from that of Jesus, in fact from the other apostles as well. Why do you think this is so?

MikeMe Paul merely reflected the view of the day. Women were considered secondary to men in those times. In fact, women in this country couldn't even vote until over 100 years after the Declaration of Independence! The trouble with the view Paul was tougher on...

Do you hear your own voice when you think?

wotfpatty @wotfpatty (2065) • United States 22 Aug 07

I was talking with my son a minute ago about something he said he had been thinking about and I asked him (out of the blue) if he heard himself when he thought. He had to stop and, you guessed it, think about it before he knew....

Elevator or Escalator?

wotfpatty @wotfpatty (2065) • United States 19 Aug 07

MikeMe Well, in the Bible, Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth and the light and none comes to the Father except by Me.". So, if that's true, then no non-believers cannot get into heaven. If that statement is NOT true, well you have to throw out the rest of the...

Why do you believe the Bible ?

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 19 Aug 07

If you are a christian, you believe the Bible to be true, right? Now I know some Christians take the Bible literally, others don't. Since there appears so little proof of much that's written there, outside the Bible itself, why do...

MikeMe One I always used on the kids is from Silverado. "I don't want to kill you and you don't want to be dead.". I reckon that's just a variation on what mothers say to their kids, "I brought you into this world and I can take you out!". Another I find myself using...
