Are You Waiting?

sigma77 @sigma77 (5383) • United States 10 Jul 07

I think most of us are waiting for something good to happen in our lives. We spend time waiting to receive a sign or some clue from God or the universe so that we know how to proceed. In truth, it is the universe and God that are...

touchofjupiter Waiting is good in some cases. But, waiting for life to start is crazy... life slips away quickly. Take a hold of life and run with what you've been given. You can "ask" sometimes until the cows come home and never receive. It has nothing to do with faith......

Do you fall asleep easily?

steney @steney (1418) • Philippines 29 May 07

Are you the type who falls asleep one minute after hitting the sheets, or while sitting on a chair watching TV? Or maybe the type who spends half the night tossing and turning, messing up the bed, doing special rituals before...

touchofjupiter This is crazy, but here is is 1:00 am and I am sitting at a computer. I guess it is safe to say that I am a night owl. Getting to sleep easy is not one of my strong points, I tend to sit and think while I'm in bed and when I'm through thinking, then I think...

Do you ever lay down with your child...

maddysmommy @maddysmommy (16230) • United States 17 May 07

and just stare at them when they fall asleep? Do you look at their faces to see if they resemble you in any way? I often find myself doing this a lot, going over every inch of my sons face, looking to see what he has that looks...

touchofjupiter Why do we look for ourselves in our kids? Take them for who they are rather than trying to love yourself in them. Face it, they are a BLEND of both you and your husband -- not one or the other, but BOTH. And, better than that: they are their OWN person. It...

touchofjupiter Anyone who is expecting to make a mint off of MyLot has a rude awakening coming! This is one of the poorest paid opinion sites around. Personally, I simply type a couple of responses now and then ... not so much to make a buck, but to play more or less and to...

touchofjupiter It's understandable to be afraid of germs (bacteria and viruses) because of all the havoc they can cause in our lives. But, to some extent, germa play a BENEFICIAL role in the universe. A minimal exposure (something that would make us "sick" but not kill...

touchofjupiter I nursed my child, also. But, I did not feel comfortable doing so in public. There are plenty of alternative places to nurse a child where young children and other men and everything don't have to be audience to it. I don't think it is something that should be...

touchofjupiter Not only does talking to a 2-month old child makes sense, it is imperative for the mental development of the youngster. Studies have shown that children can even learn while still in the womb. They also respond to music while still inside the mother's body. I...

Do You Eat Meals Together As A Family?

villageanne @villageanne (8553) • United States 21 Apr 07

I remember Well, as a child that it was expected that when any meal was ready, everyone was to sit at the table. We had a large family and we all squashed so tightly on that small homemade dinner table. Nobody ever tasted any of...

touchofjupiter There's much to be said about eating together as a family. And, at one time in our past, we were expected to do so. I can remember growing up, too, when mother cooked a meal and placed it on the table we all sat down to a well-balanced, delicious homecooked...

Do you 'react' when angry?

leanette @leanette (3002) • India 14 Apr 07

Do you 'REACT' or 'RESPOND' when angry? Do you lose it and lash out when somebody angers you? or make the effort to count to ten to calm you down. Or chose the best option get a grip on yourself and handle the situation...

touchofjupiter Let's put it this way: You can divorce your husband, you can't divorce your child. That automatically defines where the strongest bonds naturally lie. And, with me, it is no different. I love my husband. But, I love my child more than any creature on this...

touchofjupiter No, not all women are bad. And no, you are not mentally ill. You have just been burnt by one woman, that's all. One apple that's rotten in a barrel will smell like ... well, you know like what ... making all the other apples in the barrel stink (but, that does...

Do you buy un-needed items just because they are sale?

kynni204 @kynni204 (2031) • United States 9 Apr 07

Do you impulse shop? Do you have 5 of the same toasters different colors just because they go on sale every week and you will never find another sale like that one? Knowing you will never use all of them. Do you need to have a...

The -illegals- in the US are demanding rights. How absurd is that?

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 8 Apr 07

It just baffles me that these people broke the law to begin with and are now demonstrating in the streets of Los Angeles and demanding rights. Rights are for citizens and those who come here legally, using the proper channels. I...

touchofjupiter I TOTALLY agree with you on this one. If the illegals are given the rights to vote and to be treated as citizens, why be a citizen? The whole idea of rights in the first place is to give to citizens s group of (for lack of a better word) "perks" because we...
