Waterwisdom I prefer doing as much as I can online, because I'm extremely introverted and have social anxiety. Also, doing stuff online can be faster than running around town running errands. The security technology is so much better these days, so most online...

Now I know there are some of you who actually get sick, and I am almost positive most of you have faked sick! Either way, have you ever felt guilty about missing a day of work? DO you feel like you are missing out, falling behind,...

Waterwisdom Yeah, I've felt all of the above, including feeling like I deserved it, too. It's worse when I'm doing a job that I really, really don't like. However, I've even done it while working jobs that I loved, so . . . =\

I was just thinking about hunting and how it is just a sport among many people. I want to know if you think hunting as a SPORT is right? I am totally fine with hunting as a main source of food, but I do not agree with hunting...

Waterwisdom Sport hunting is a travesty, as far as I'm concerned. The only reason for hunting is for food, period. As for killing in self-defense, yes, that too. I love love love all animals, and I think that we humans have a responsibility to do what we can to try to...

Neither side of my family is very close. Both my parents came from really poor, broken families. I wasn't raised anywhere near either one of my parent's family, and after my parent's divorce when I was about 13 or so, no one from...

Waterwisdom I just went to my "friends" tab, and next to the ones I have are options that let you choose to be notified about posts that they make, there's also a "delete" option.

I probably own more than 20 pairs of shoes. But that is only because I am a pack rat, and hate throwing things away. I only use one pair of sneakers, two pairs of sandals, and 2 different dress shoes.

Waterwisdom Five pairs . . . a pair of Merril waterproof hiking boots that I've had for about 5 years, a pair of brown leather clogs that I've had about 4 years, a pair of black loafers that I've had about 6 years, a pair of Tevas that I've had about 5 years, and a pair...

Waterwisdom I've been on my own since I was 17, and I've had all kinds of roommates, good and bad. I've not always been a great roommate myself, especially when I was younger. I think the worst is when you don't feel safe where you live. Where you sleep at night is...

Waterwisdom If I could give you a hug, Lecanis, I would. Homelessness is especially disturbing when it involves children. We're supposed to help children, regardless, period. Are you doing ok now? Thanks for sharing your story; I really appreciate it, more than you...

Have you or anyone you know ever done this?? I recently saw a video on yahoo where they spoke about how much brain damage teens have from binge drinking. I think something like this is very dangerous, and some people may not...

1 response

Waterwisdom I don't drink, but my understanding so far, based on my own experience, is that the kind of binge drinking that teenagers do, where they drink way, way too much in a very, very short period of time, as in an hour or less, causes alcohol toxicity, which is when...

Waterwisdom I've had small lizards as pets, and turtles and frogs, as well as cats, dogs, gerbils, and even a horse for awhile. The only problem with the lizards is that they were fast little buggers, and would get out of their homes and then get lost in the house,...

Waterwisdom I really feel your frustration. I hate the killing that's going on all over the world, most of it over which is the "right" god, or which parcel of land is "god given" and to whom was it given. It is a source of unending pain for me whenever I read about...

Waterwisdom I forgot to say also; unless you've been in that position, it's not fair to make a judgement about how they "should've" acted.

Waterwisdom The thing is, if someone is homeless, chances are they're not functioning mentally or emotionally like a normal person. Whether it's depression, substance abuse, a catastrophic string of losses, or a combination thereof; the horrific stress of being homeless...
