What is the one thing you cannot give up?

Wendy789 @Drosophila (16571) • Ireland 29 Sep 16

We all have that one thing, we cannot give up. For me it's great food! After I've graduated, I went through a period of poverty. Massive student loans to pay off and limited means. The only thing that kept me happy was my...

Christina Lyons Ask me this 10 years ago and my answer would have been quite different. Something trivial like Internet access or coffee. At times in the past decade though, I've gone without so much... A place to live, a car... Gone without food for days. What's always been...

Do you love your country?

123playa123 @supervalon (1208) • North Las Vegas, Nevada 30 Sep 16

some people are sick of their countries because of the government BS and stuff. But leave apart all of the country problems, do you love your country? Do you feel patriotic? And if you could, would you change your nationality, or...

Christina Lyons I do love my country. Of course there are problems and corruption in our government but you'll see that anywhere, certainly more so in some countries. My dad fought in the Korean War and was shot three times, I will never say I don't love the country he fought...

I am really shocked because know I realize that I am one of the few people in Portugal that doesn't drink coffee. And I noticed this because I started working and I always have to explain to people that I don't drink coffee....

Christina Lyons I was a coffee addict for most of my life. Into my second week now of trying to kick the habit. I love the taste and just felt like I needed it every morning. My husbands with you though, he won't go near the stuff.

Christina Lyons I could actually get 13 hours a night and still be tired. I do the functional adult thing and force myself up after 7 or 8 hours though. It works out fine, but sometimes I need a nap in the late afternoon. Surely I'm not the only sloth out there....

Still wearing summer clothes

Carol Cassada @dramagirl26 (3259) • Ringgold, Virginia 27 Sep 16

Fall is on the air and the weather is beginning to change. Here in Virginia, I've noticed a big change with the weather. This summer we had to deal with 80 and 90 degree weather, but now temps are in the 70s. Despite the cooler...

Christina Lyons I wanted to wear my summer clothes as long as possible, but with highs in just the 60s I had to bite the bullet and put the shorts away. Michigan is awesome but sometimes I miss the weather of southern California, Nevada, and Arizona where I've spent most of...

Christina Lyons My perfect life would have a lot of the same components as my life now, but I would add a few things. My son would still be alive. A parent shouldn't have to bury their child. My parents would still be alive, at least until they're old enough for death to be...

Why do Christians have to announce that fact?

AbbyGreenhill @AbbyGreenhill (45494) • United States 21 Sep 16

So often I see, hear or read, "I'm a Christian.".....OK, but why do you have to tell us that? I am Catholic - I don't go around saying, "I'm Catholic." If I ask you what religion/faith you are and you say, "I'm Christian"...

Christina Lyons I don't understand why people find it so offensive. I don't say I'm Christian to make myself sound better than you and I don't say I'm Christian because I want to shove my religion down your throat. That's where people's minds seem to go these days. Actually...

Christina Lyons My golden moment is bittersweet. I was taking care of my elderly father, it was the day before he died. He was nearly comatose,not responding at all, just laying there in his bed. I was holding his hand and talking to him when all of a sudden he spoke, very...
