brandyandbeans I live in Virginia and I felt the earthquake pretty good. I was working at my computer and all of the sudden the house started to shake pretty bad. I did not know what was going on and went outside, it was a little scary to think we would feel such a thing.

tess_quinain @tess_quinain (1149) • Philippines 25 Aug 11

Since I post many discussions and make comments, I have observed that many mylotters would like me to add them as their friends. I remember, the first time I joined here I only had few friends and I rarely receive friend requests....

brandyandbeans I notice that there are not many people that want to friend you when you are new, like me. But I figure if I hang in here long enough that I will start getting new friends as well.

Do you think God might forgive a person who commits suicide?

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 25 Aug 11

Some people seem to think that suicide is an unforgivable sin. But many suicides are due to clinical depression or other physical conditions. Can a person control having a mental illness or chemical imbalance that might cause his...

brandyandbeans I often wondered this because my brother committed suicide about fifteen years ago. But I finally came to the conclusion that if one can take their life then they have some type of mental impairment... and God would forgive someone that is not right in the...

Monochrome @Monochrome (11) 25 Aug 11

brandyandbeans I believe that jealousy is a sign of insecurity. I also feel that past experiences play a major role in how much one is willing to trust their mate. It appears that this is all based on trusting the partner and knowing that they are not going to break that...

Heaven or Hell?

arlerambabu @arlerambabu (1079) • India 23 Aug 11

One day, I was asked by the God, where I would like to go after my death. I said, “Definitely to Hell my Lord.” Astonished by my answer, God said,” You stupid, don’t you know that heaven is all happiness and no work and hell is...

brandyandbeans I just do not understand why you would tell God that you would rather be in Hell to do work than to be in Heaven? You must believe in God, heaven and hell so why would you make such a strange discussion?

brandyandbeans No, we do not see God but we feel him within each and every one who has accepted him as the Savior. I love the Lord and do not know how I would answer that question, maybe I should do a little more research on how to.

brandyandbeans I feel that two people should marry only if they love one another and plan to spend the rest of their lives together, not simply marry them to hold on to a person. Divorce rates are very high in the US and they grow with every passing year. For me, I...

brandyandbeans I agree, family can hurt you worse than others. I believe it is because the bonds of families are suppose to be tight. I would not list her as an emergency contact at all and I would ask no more of her as far as helping you out. You did your part for her in...

Payout @payout (3794) • United States 23 Aug 11

I have a strong belief system I believe in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I just think it's crazy how we can't say the word Jesus @ work. I don't see it like a bad word or anything. I do fnd it strange that if you say a curse word...

brandyandbeans I also believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is saddening that we are not allowed to have religious beliefs of our own because the way other people feel about it. I find it terrible that there is no long the Pledge of Allegiance in the school...

brandyandbeans I agree that motherhood is stressful at times but you have to look at all the rewards that being a mother brings to you. Dealing with separation anxiety can be hard for a while, but things will work out for you. Your child just does not want to let go of the...

brandyandbeans Sounds like a guy things to me. Also sounds like he is trying to make her jealous. I have had male friends that do these types of things and I tend to stay away from them when they meet new people because I do not want to hear about their opinions of women.

brandyandbeans The only problem I see with sucking the thumb is that it will interrupt the way that the child's teeth will grow in. They will more than likely have an overbite of some sort.
