kesfylstra Hey, you seem to have a very good answer already, but I just wanted to comment and say that this was very interesting. I was not conscious of this difference. It's funny because I am reading Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ" at the moment which deals with...

Adults dating children?

lillake @lillake (1630) • United States 6 Mar 07

I was reading online a woman who was upset that her friend is allowing her 16 year old daughter to date a 33 year old man. How do you feel about relationships like that? Do you think some one that young can handle a...

kesfylstra I don't know if I would think the adult is sick, but at least a little off his rocker. I dated a man in his late 30s when I was 20. At the time I thought it was the greatest thing ever, but looking back I seriously wonder what I was thinking, and why he was...

Do you always bring a wallet with you wherever you go?

myworld_and_you @myworld_and_you (1223) • Philippines 6 Mar 07

I have been asked this thousand times by different people already because they have observed that I don't usually bring my wallet with me. Yeah, that's true. WHen I go out, sometimes, I just bring money with me and put it in a...

kesfylstra I bring my purse with me whenever I leave the house. If I'm driving, I of course need my license, and at any rate, ID is always good to have on you in case of an emergency, along with your healthcare information if you are in a country that works on that kind...

kesfylstra I have been looking too, and it does seem like mostly everything is a scam. I think there are some good companies out there for from-home sales and the like, but that is not my thing. So, I make what I can on MyLot, and on Associated Content, where I write...

Do you ever feel that when you had kids, you also have a brain transplant?

all4ucnc @all4ucnc (861) • United States 6 Mar 07

When I think about things I thought, or things I did before having my kids, I'm blown away...I've seen it happen to friends as well, They would make comments on how we should raise our kids, or say "just get a sitter". And now...

kesfylstra I think people who do not yet have children just don't comprehend what it is about. They think they have answers, but that is meaningless until you actually have a tiny person who is solely your responsibility. Suddenly it's like "OH, that's why parents always...

Can a guy fall in love with two girls?

boyfriend2k4 @boyfriend2k4 (398) • Australia 6 Mar 07

Do you think can a guy fall in love with two girls at the same time?

relationship

2 responses

kesfylstra I think you choose to love. You can become infatuated or attracted to two girls at a time. And yes, I suppose someone could decide to pursue an emotional relationship with two women who he begins to equally care for, but he's a jerk if he does!

How powerful is faith?

How powerful is faith?

2 responses

kesfylstra Faith is the most powerful thing in the world, I think. It is lack of faith that inhibit us from taking advantage of that power. True faithful prayer has been seen to work miracles.

kesfylstra There are so many to choose from! One that comes to my mind first is when my 19-mth-old daughter pats the dog and gives her a hug. She loves her puppy.

His Music...Not his choices

cyclonewriter @cyclonewriter (2168) • United States 6 Mar 07

Is there not anyone in the world besides me that sees Michael Jackson as a talented musical icon? His choices in the past have been lousy, but I sure can't take from his talent. I have a couple of his songs on my MP3 player as a...

6 responses

kesfylstra I honestly do not like his music either, so really he doesn't do anything for me. But I guess I can agree with your point, which is viewing him as a musician--I just don't care for his work.

Quiet Night In, or Big Night Out? Which do you prefer?

rosie_123 @rosie_123 (6113) 24 Feb 07

kesfylstra NIV. It has very simple langauge, but is still very close to translation. I enjoy reading the paraphrase "The Message", but sometimes they go a little too far.

kesfylstra I think these conspiracy theories are crap. To even suggest that Bush would stage the mass murder of thousands of citizens, thousands of human beings, is ridiculous. People can construe evidence any way they want. That's what the entire legal system is based...

kesfylstra They only payout around the 15th of every month, for the month previous. I hit $10 early in February because I had extra over from January, but I still have to wait till March 15th, or around there, to get my payment. The good part is that means you have the...

kesfylstra I wear different things. Right now it is winter, so I sleep bundled up in long pants and a sweatshirt. In the summer, usually shorts and a tank top.

What is your favorite Breakfast food?

sjettmomof2 @sjettmomof2 (213) • United States 23 Feb 07

What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast? it doesn't have to be something you made, can even be take out. I love to cook, but I have to say I love McDonalds steak bagels. The more sauce the better!

17 responses

kesfylstra I admit, if I am out in the morning without breakfast, I am a sucker for McDonald's bacon egg and cheese on a bagel, and a hash brown. If I were back in Jersey with real bagels, then I would say a Bagel Emporium bagel.

kesfylstra Singling out a certain group of people based on their ethnicity/race/looks is very different than taxing and banning a group of people who insist on maintaining a habit that is not only harmful to them... more power to you if you want to slowly kill yourself...
