Do you take the time to read other's responses to discussions?

susieq223 @susieq223 (3742) • United States 2 Jul 08

Often when I am on this site, I feel pressed for time. There is so much to choose from to do. I confess, also, that I do consider the big bucks I am earning as I post answers. For those reasons I often skip reading other's answers...

What is the origin of evil?

susieq223 @susieq223 (3742) • United States 17 May 08

In the Christian faith the Bible teaches us that God created all things and He called them good. So I wonder where did evil come from? Do you think God created evil also? If not, how did it get into the world? I know the story of...

Things that drive me crazy!

susieq223 @susieq223 (3742) • United States 17 May 08

susieq223 @susieq223 (3742) • United States 15 May 08

A couple of the cars at an antique car show had rumble seats. These were "back" seats that were popular in the 20's. They were where we have the trunks now. My mother used to tell me about how she and daddy would cuddle up in the...

I went to a car show a couple of weeks ago. I am not especially a car nut, but most of the men in my life have been, so I know more about cars that I really ever wanted to know! Anyway, I kind of enjoyed seeing some of the old...
