jbe570 @jbe570 (22) • United States 5 Oct 08

I am interested in your experiences finding love again after being widowed, more so than after being divorced, but you can include your experiences with successful marriage after divorce, too. Did you put up fences when dating...

Instrumental or voice? Please vote!

tikiselene @tikiselene (129) • United States 1 Aug 08

As classical music enthusiasts, do you prefer instrumental over voice? That seems to be what draws many people to classical. Does it depend on the situation? What are your thoughts on this?

jbe570 Well, which way to vote? That is the question. I sing in a classical style and whenever possible operatic pieces. The most challenging solo I sang was Mozart's Allelulia! And, yes, I did hit the high C and was not flat or sharp or shrill with it. Took a lot...

jbe570 First off, what is SMS? I do not know this term. Secondly, passing along malicious emails is the same as gossipping about someone behind his/her back. There are terrible, malicious, hateful, spiteful emails being passed off as the truth by people...

jbe570 Dear Fasttalker, Thank you for your clarification of issues you left hanging in your original post. Yes, not all convicts are violent, but perhaps you should have clarified this in your remarks. After reading my husband's experiences, now you know the...

jbe570 Don't you think this is an insult to our volunteer troops who are serving so valiantly Afghanistan and Iraq? How do you think they would feel? How could they trust these prisoners? Exactly what type of criminals are you proposing? This can be done on some...

jbe570 Good payout for you. I have my doubts that I can spend enough time here to earn much. I will take what I can get, but also have to do other things to supplement my income. Any pointers for getting good payout on this site? Thanks.

jbe570 Ronreyes, please study the Koran. 60% or more of this text tells Muslims to kill the infidels, or anyone who will not be persuaded to believe in Mohammed's teachings. Then there are the ayatollahs after him who added to his teaching of violence. When Mohammed...

jbe570 Remember there is falling in lust and being in love. Lust does not necessarily lead to love. During the beginning of a relationship we each try to please the other person and so to some extent create a false persona. We also tend to think that if the...

jbe570 Of course it is okay for men to cry! We have been socialized to think it is a sign of weakness for a man to cry, but it simply is not true! You have to release those emotions. If you hold everything inside, you are putting your health at risk. Now, that is not...
