Why is it that when our emotions are engaged, our brains don't work so well? I'm thinking of all these years when R gets into a cleaning frenzy, and things tend to disappear. And I've gotten so upset at him for tossing stuff...

Erilyn We each have our own spots that if someone else is cleaning up they dont bother. Having our safe spots has solved a lot of problems. My safe spot is on the side of my bed that I always sit at. My bedside table. So hopefully it will work for you also.

Erilyn I got lost for almost a year myself. I am glad to see you have found your way back. I just found my way back about a week or so ago now. My journey wasn't as exciting though. I have had to work too much the last few days to be on here. I am doing my best to...

Looking at the state of today's society, I've noticed that people will say their living by the Ten Commandments, yet, they really aren't. Doing some research, I've found that they were given to truly show how people were sinning....

Erilyn I believe they are still relevant. I think the biggest problem is that we are becoming a secular society and they don't hold the same weight with most people anymore. They think that if they don't act on the feelings they haven't committed the sin. They forget...

Erilyn The best way I have found to lose weight is to eat several small meals a day. I eat about 5 times a day and eat whatever I want as long as I stay within 1800 calories a day. I am not hungry, and I eat what I want so if I have a craving I go ahead and eat it so...

Erilyn Unfortunately people like that can never take responsibility for their own actions. I don't know how it is there but here she would be held responsible for the doctor bills that occurred from the dog bite, and it would be likely that her dog would be taken and...
