FDBrister I hate to say it, but manners just don't exist in our society any more. I've had people to say much worse to me or in front of me and my kids and not care who was around. Common courtesy is no longer common, especially where I live. Unfortunately, in these...

I have been having the ex-wife of all menstrual cramps today, and the mother-in-law of all mood-swings all freaking week. GEESH!!! Tonight I felt worse than I have in years. I popped TWO apo-naproxen 375's, and felt better. I'm...

FDBrister I've had cramps that bad, so I understand. The answers are so simple, it's hard. I've found (through research, trial and error, and training) several things that work to beat cramps and mood swings. For cramps- hot baths, hot tea, hot compresses, massages,...

FDBrister Humans have a way of doing things that aren't so bright. It was once believed that people who were left handed were deformed, less smart, and different than the rest of the population. Thank goodness for social advancement. Think about it, we as a people...

FDBrister Distance only makes love stronger for a little while, then it makes it weaker. Statistics have shown that no relationship has ever been able to withstand the strain that long distance places on it. Jobs can be found anywhere, love cannot. Love is much more...

FDBrister It is extremely difficult to find someone you can be with for 6 months, let alone 6 years. It would be foolish to give up a relationship that has been working well for this long for something you are unsure will work out for you. Your girlfriend has been...

a friend of mine is having some problems. i don't really bring it up because he doesn't like to talk about it. Not long ago a girl he went out with got out of a psych unit after three suicide attempts in one week. Since she got...

FDBrister Your friend is in a really hard spot because someone he loves doesn't find life worth living. He doesn't want to leave her because he loves her and at the same time, he may be tired of the girlfriends issues and not know how to deal with them. It sounds like...

I tried going to church for 5 years but how does one expect to make a go of it when the darn preacher can't even keep his pants on. Man what a mess. What would you do if your preacher had an affair and then cried in front of...

FDBrister If that happened in a church I went to, I'd leave and go to a different church. I expect preachers to uphold higher standards than anyone else; the preacher's behavior will trickle down into the behavior of those under him. That being said, not all...

FDBrister I don't think it's God you're unhappy with, I think it's circumstances. It can be hard to see your circumstances as separate from what God may actually want for you. Things often happen in our lives because of OUR choices, not what God had in mind. We are...

FDBrister I have been hurt in church many many times; it used to be the story of my life. I stopped going to church altogether at one point because of all the hurts. I believed that churches should be a better representation of Christ. It wasn't until I was hurt by the...

FDBrister Well, it looks like the joke was on you. Having fun at someone else's mistake... sounds a lot like someone I know quite well; actually it sounds like a few people I know. Take a look around, there's tons of fun fodder around myLot.

FDBrister Maybe a moderator saw the comment, realized it was out of place and removed it. I'm pretty new to myLot, but I hear that this happens from time to time. Also, sometimes language barriers have a way of making conversations take a turn that no one ever...

I know that we do not always get the amount we need. And I also know that we do not all require the same amount. I am simply wondering about your requirement for sleep. How many hours would that be? Are you able to get enough?...

FDBrister How much sleep I need depends on how busy my day was, how stressful it was, what I ate during the day, and all kinds of things. Some days I find that if I get about 6 hours of sleep, I feel less tired than if I'd gotten 12. Some days it seems like I'll get 10...

FDBrister Unfortunately, just because someone's good at talking, it doesn't mean they're smart. I've found it's the quiet people that are actually more wise; when they speak, you know something important is being said.

FDBrister Actually, I don't believe in any way that left-handed people are smarter. I know some left-handed people; in fact, the left-handed people I know are only of average intelligence, while all of the people I know who are of above-average intelligence are...
