 I had an older sister (by 6 years) who I hadn't seen in almost 25 years. I'm not sure why she never came around, as she was raised by her grandmother. We were half-sisters. Anyway, my father just called and said one of his friends said my sister had died. I looked it up on the internet and sure enough, she passed away in April of this year. I never knew. I don't know how she died, although I ha... |

 I've always believed I was a weak person until I had to deal with one of the hardest things in my life... my father's ailing health. Now I have to find the strength deep down inside of me, outside of me through God and through faith to face his impending death. You have strength inside of you, you just have to find it. |

 When I was small, I always had short hair, so when I got older I let it grow out and at one point it was almost down to my rear-end. Then I got it cut off to my shoulders and I cried for a week. Now, it's back down to my waist, but it took over a year to grow back. A year to a 6-year-old will seem like forever, but just keep reassuring her that she looks beautiful and as time goes by her hair w... |

I guess the most absurd phone call I ever got was on my cell phone, and it was an automated recording telling me that my warranty was about to expire on my car and I could buy extended coverage, yadda yadda yadda.... The funny thing... I don't own a car. I've actually gotten this call several times on my cell phone and my home phone. I just hang up and shake my head. |

 Depending on what you want to experience, you can see beautiful beaches on the west coast of Florida. If you want to experience the flavor or the beginning of our nations origins, go to New England such as Massachussetts or Pennsylvania. If you want to explore hiking and extreme "sports" visit the west like Colorado or Nevada or New Mexico. It really just depends on what you want to do. |

 My father and grandmother used to tell me that if I was bad "Caleb" would come and get me and carry me off to his cave. "Caleb" was a local legend in Kentucky about a man who had been beheaded and carried his head under his arm and carried "bad" children off to his cave. They never told me what happened once the kids got to the cave, but the implication was clear. Maybe that's why I'm in therap... |

 I strained to hear the words, but yet I still couldn't make out what the words were trying to tell me. I stepped out the door into the night to try and get a better handle on what was being said to me. Suddenly it hit me, they were telling me to move further into the forest. What was out there waiting for me and was it dangerous? |

 Thanks for the spoiler, but I don't think all of that was necessary. Some people do get carried away in those categories, and we can choose to engage in the argument or simply leave it alone. I appreciate and respect your beliefs and am happy that you respect others' beliefs as their own. As you said a good healthy debate does bring in emotion and persuasion. That's what a debate is supposed to... |
