With all the killings and terrorist attacks going on in the middle east and everywhere else, I have to wonder if it's time for the United States to stop allowing refugees into our country. Don't get me wrong, I love everyone and,...

Michelle Bentley @Butchcass4 - You're so right! This country was founded on Biblical Principles and when we started taking God from our schools and our lives, well, God is telling us no. When this country looked to God, we were a great and prosperous nation. Since this country...

Michelle Bentley @celticeagle - I will definitely check out your discussion. I think we need to be more strict. I feel horrible for the refugees and I would, under normal circumstances, want to help them. But, our safety must come first and, right now, I don't trust anyone....

Michelle Bentley @wiLLmaH - Yes, exactly. There was a time when it was ok to let refugees in to the USA. Times have changed, however, and a country's main obligation should be to keep their homeland safe and make sure their own people are taken care of before offering help to...

Michelle Bentley @FourWalls - Thank you. I couldn't agree more with everything you say. Why is it that, like you said, Syria is 7000 miles away from the US. Why does everyone have to come here? And yes, the US does not take care of their own. Veterans, those who fought for our...

Out 13-year-old Lhasa Apso, Sneakers, is on his way out. It's heartbreaking to know that, after all these years, there will soon be a time when he will no longer be my husband's #1 companion. Last week, when Dave (my husband)...

Michelle Bentley @amadeo, I never thought of the baby aspirin. I think I will try that. Our dog does do a lot of licking, but he's always been that way, so I never gave it thought. But, I do think he might have some arthritis in his hips or legs so the baby aspirin might help....

Michelle Bentley @Ponder243 Yes, we do get attached to our babies. It's a very tough decision. Many people say to put the dog down when they lose quality of life. I think he's still spunky to some degree and he's not suffering. He's just old. The funny thing is, I was trying...

Michelle Bentley You're absolutely right! I couldn't have said it better! War is no good for anyone. It's a shame that we all just can't respect each other's beliefs and just get along. Only in a perfect world.

Michelle Bentley Yes, I do love everyone. If the US can provide for their own then sure, let's help others. But the fact is, the US doesn't help their own. Watch one of our tv commercials that beg us to feed children in countries far, far away, yet we can't feed our own...

Maggs @maggs224 (2320) • Alicante, Spain 22 Nov 15

I think that I was born a happy giver. I never had any trouble giving things or help when I could. I still don't, but at one time I had a real problem receiving either gifts or help. If I did get either I needed to pay back at...

Michelle Bentley @maggs224 You are 100% right. If we enjoy giving so much, chances are, those givers feel the same way. We are truly robbing them of the gift of enjoyment. In a way, it's being selfish. Thanks for making me see that! :)

Michelle Bentley Thanks, Susan! I agree with everyone. I think I'm going to like it a lot better here. And, why waste time on a site that doesn't pay when you can earn a little change on myLot just for talking (something I love to do anyway)? :)

Michelle Bentley Very true. It amazes me how, well, amazingly popular Facebook has become through the years. I check it out daily because all of my friends and family are on Facebook and these days it's about the only way to keep in touch. Other than that, it bores me to...
