gardengrrl I am so sorry for your loss! Our Jakey-Jake left us last Labor Day at the ripe old age of 17. It is like losing a member of the family. I will keep a light on in my heart for all three of you! HUGS!

The difference between unresolved hurt feelings and holding a grudge...

wheel416 @wheel416 (1019) • Canada 11 Feb 09

I have a problem and I would like to know what the rest of you think about it and as I think it is something we all struggle with at some point. In general I try to be a very kind and loving person. I try to listen...

gardengrrl I think the difference between the two is easily detected: hurt feelings reflect personal pain, while a grudge is driven by the anger over being hurt. If you see a person and think, darn, why did they hurt me like this, and how do I get past it, you're trying...

gardengrrl Apologies because I can't name the specific chapter or verse, but love thy neighbor as yourself is a good one. Really, the Ten Commandments are pretty good guidelines, too, if you overlook the archaic language. I realize I don't control what others do, but I...

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 19 Aug 08

Thank you News 4 in the D.C. area.I just saw a news report that a group of college presidents believe that lowering the legal drinking age will decrease binge drinking. They say the way it is now, there is a underground culture of...

gardengrrl hello, fellow Giants fan! I caught a little bit of a TV news story on the subject, which named a number of colleges and universities as supporters of this movement. In addition to the points you've made so well, the story said that many schools are tired of...

My Partner is F*#*#ing Me and I Don't Know What to do?

petebaja @petebaja (516) • Mexico 12 Mar 08

I started this real estate business a while back and took in a partner. I had the sales experience, contacts, clients, etc. He had the money to expand the business. So it was a fair and equitable split - 50/50. Just a few...

gardengrrl Heather's right, Pete, you gotta check it out thoroughly before you say anything to anyone. Remove this whole affair from the emotional back to the business realm. There shouldn't be any problem getting paid for work successfully completed. Don't know how...

gardengrrl Hi, Steph! You poor thing, emotionally driven eating is my downfall, too! I'm struggling with it, there's a couple of ideas I'm trying to utilize to change this. First line of defense is in the grocery store. Ice cream is my worst weakness, so I just don't...

gardengrrl Hi, bluecrystal1982! Sporty but fragile - that's very cool! I got my username from the drunks who used to hang out behind my first-floor apartment in the city. They would drink, talk, and (eventually) pee. I had a large container garden out there, so I would...

Eli is all down hill from here

yanxchick @yanxchick (250) • United States 2 Dec 07

Well, I don't really want to believe it. In the Giants wins he has looked really good, but when they lose, he is downright awful. They got lucky to win against Detriot and just minutes against Chicago he has already thrown a pick....

gardengrrl I didn't see your discussion earlier or I would have been right with you, wondering if "Easy E" was ever gonna grow up. He sure shut us up in the end, didn't he?

Rock & Roll? Hall of Fame?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 10 Mar 08

Madonna is going to be inducted. Now, if it was called the "Music Hall of Fame", or "American Pop Culture Hall of Fame", then (even though I can't stand any of the music Madonna has ever made), I'd say she not only deserves to be...

gardengrrl Funny you mention this, I was thinking just the other day that they need to change the name of the place. I'm all about recognizing talented musicians of any genre, but do we have to put them all in OUR hall of fame? I accept including forefathers like the...
