cansasct I am a Cahtolic, and never have any of our priests had high livestyles, they take a vow of poverty, they don't even marry, they take a vow to be "poor all their lives" just as Jesus did. If you had seen them riding in an expensive car, don't be fooled, the car...

rebel_woman06 @SIMPLYD (90722) • Philippines 20 Mar 11

Whenever I sleep, I would put a blindfold . That way, I am assured that my eyes will not have a glimpse of the light or even the daylight. Specially at night, when I would sleep ahead of my husband who will be watching TV by...

cansasct I like to sleep in the dark, it seems easier to sleep. If you can see the light, at times it can be a distraction, and can actually cause you to wake up more than once during the night. I don't blame you for wanting to use this blindfold. Also if this is...

No salt? Hard to believe...

youless @youless (112108) • Guangzhou, China 17 Mar 11

Some people are just so crazy here. Now it seems the salt is out of stock from the shops. People are just so afraid of the bad effect of the nuclear blast in Japan. They rush to buy the salt because they are afraid in the future...

cansasct I don't think we should worry about a shortage of salt. We should be worried about bigger things, such as the state of our country, crime, our children's safety, endangered species, and the purity of our water, to name a few. Salt is something we are not to...
