And if so, how long have you had it for? I've had my current digital camera for the past 3 and a half years and by the looks of it, it went out on me (died). I thought that maybe it was just the batteries that needed charging, but...

bigjim59 Depending on how you care for and store your camera, and the quality of your camera it should last a good many years. Now the battery is a different matter. Rechargeable batteries are funny things. If you did not follow the charging directions the first time,...

A long standing debate. Some people say marijuana is no worse than booze and should be treated as such. Others say it's a scourge on society and just adds to the problems already caused by alcohol. Since prohibition in the 30's...

bigjim59 I no longer partake for health reasons,among others. But I do think it is hypocritical to be wasting law enforcement money and prison space on pot smokers when they let tobacco and alcohol stay legal. Tobacco kills people. Alcohol is just as dangerous behind...

My wife made a very good point. Most religions have an origin story about where we came from. We either were created by Deity or came from the same source scientifically, depending on what you believe. So whether you believe that...

bigjim59 Wow. That was an eye full. And quite profound. No matter where we came from we all share the same planet. Here's my theory on race, I hope you find it interesting: People have always wondered if we are alone in the universe, and if we are not alone, the...

bigjim59 America! Stand up and be just as loud as these misguided people in the town halls! Don't let corporate greed win like they did in 1993. Get off your butts and DO SOMETHING! BE HEARD! Don't let the mob rule created by the RNC and their fat-cat special interest...

Forgiveness means you have forgotten the hurt in your heart; otherwise, the hurt will concentrate in your heart and hurt you more. When you want to forgive, you will find trouble putting it out of mind. the more you persuade...

bigjim59 I lived in Vegas for 8 years and one thing I learned is NEVER give a beggar money. So you did right. Sorry about the experience. Most of these people have substance abuse problems,and that's why they are homeless, and they seem to like it that way. Some of...

Why is it that some people just do not care about hurting other peoples feelings? Is it they are heartless or do you think that they just do not think first before they sat things?

7 responses

bigjim59 Yes. I can relate. I once had a problem with relationship choices. It caused me plenty of pain. Then I wised up. I became more aware of my own motives and learned to take more time thinking about realities. I also learned that human nature is not pretty...

bigjim59 Some people you just can't change. If it's an ongoing issue, the faster you put that person in your past, the sooner you will heal and go on with your own happiness. First you have to be strong and think about your future and who has to live the life you are...

bigjim59 Forgiveness is one thing. Forgetting is another. Some things are dangerous if forgotten. This all depends on what infraction caused the hurt. I can forgive someone for cheating or violence against me...but you can be sure I won't be around for it to happen...

bigjim59 If I just wear them around the house and I don't sweat like a pig, I might fold them up and wear them again the next day. But generally, if I wear anything for the entire day, they hit the laundry basket at the end of the day.

After watching the Redskins play the Steelers last night, one thing is clear; they need to switch quarterbacks. Campbell was awful. Yes, he got it down the field, but he couldn't get a touchdown from the 1-yard line...come on! On...

bigjim59 The Redskins have had trouble at QB for many years. I'm a life long fan. I am wondering if the problem is really the QB's. Gibbs had a lot of faith in Jason. So does Zorn. We'll see. Nothing is set in stone during the preseason.
