I have a terrible time understanding a coworker of mine. English is his third language and on top of that, he mutters. While I respect that he speaks three languages (I should be so educated!), what good is it if nobody can...

Does anyone have any good New Year's Eve or Day superstitions? I grew up eating black-eyed peas on January 1 because it's supposed to be good luck for the coming year. Any others?

johns421unlv I know it's all just funny stories but I'm sooo not eating chicken on New Year's Day. Not that I was planning to anyway. Happy New Year!

Oh my goodness! I miss travel but simply can't afford to go anywhere this year. If I could, I would go to Japan to check out the churches of Tadao Ando around Osaka. Or I would go to the Maldives and snorkel my brains out. Maybe...

I could have set the whole place on fire! I'm so embarrassed. What a duh I am. Yesterday I was cooking dinner and had a little pot of carrots on the stove on low. I forgot about them. I was in the living room eating my...

johns421unlv I actually burned up a water kettle on the burner once. That was scary. Everybody does something stupid once in awhile. You're not alone.

johns421unlv Gosh, no. Death isn't a punishment. It's just a little scary. And I do believe that it's just a passage on some bigger continum. If you think about it, there are things in life that are much scarier. I'd much rather die than watch my family or friends suffer....

I'm currently reading a book on the philosophy of religion called Who Knows? and I'm wondering if anyone is reading it. The author contends that it's not really important whether or not you believe in God. The real issue is what...

2 responses

johns421unlv Maybe I didn't word it correctly. The author is seperating the two issues. He contends that it is more important to your spirituality to determine what kind of God you believe in than whether or not you believe in a God. Once you determine that you don't...

Have you thought of it? why do people get married? when they end up fighting and arguing and also in divorce. Is it not better to be single, frinds, and don't poke noses in each others business?

5 responses

johns421unlv The thing is, I think a lot of people get married because they feel that it's what is expected of them. Family, friends, society at large seem to really want to see people married off. But if it isn't for you, it just isn't. I can't imagine myself married with...

johns421unlv I have two older sisters and we aren't very close at all. There's no hostility or anything like that, we just don't have anything in common. When we do talk, it's pleasant, but we can catch up in two minutes and then we don't have much to say. Maybe it's my...

johns421unlv I'm going to be alone for New Year's too but I've decided to change the way I look at it. This New Year's is clearly intended to be one of introspection for both of us, right? Maybe you can greet the new year by meditating on what you want for the world, for...
