I'm at a time in my life where I'm trying to decide which direction to go in. There are so many different areas of life that a person can pursue. I think about whether or not I should find a different job right now. Should I go to...

Dominique25 lol. That is a good thing. You want to make your own decisions. You don't want others making it for you as that could definitely cause you regret it later in life when you are stuck in a job or career you don't like. That is the thing with me there are so many...

Hello The other day I did set my alarm on my phone, and before I could turn it off, I should resolve a mathematic problem. Suddenly I did wake up without my alarm ringin' so I must have solved the mathematic while sleeping,...

daeckardt I'm sure that things will be ok, at least in the short run. I guess the best way to look at it is to live one day at a time and do what I can and not worry about what I have no control over. I also have been trying to do some visualization of making it...

One of our favorite movies (among many) is "Last Holiday" starring Queen Latifah. At one point in the movie, she's talking to her sister on the phone and her sister is telling her of her plans to be a Country music...

alaskanray You are right, it was pretty racist. It bothers me that a racist remark is acceptable if it comes from a black person. It should never be acceptable from anyone. When I was pregnant with my daughter, a friend tried to tell me to get an abortion because of...

leafygreens08 I don't think writing should be kept so simple. Perhaps some poetry can be, or maybe when making notes or certain children's stories. Otherwise, writing should be what YOU the writer wants to make of it. Some of the best articles and stories are made of up of...

phong1040572 I don't think telling lie is good. I sometimes tell lie but it is a simple story just for fun and small problem too. I don't want to tell lie and also bad at lie too. I can't tell lie with other person when they look at my eyes too.

SomeCowgirl Anything but undergarments, those I would rather buy new, or make myself if need be. I guess it's more that it's just too weird then being worried about diseases, though that is a thing I would worry about as well.

EKOBERNIE Those kind of people have more money than us. Think about it if she asks about 70 people for money and 50 of them give her a dollar at least, that makes 50 dollars a day's pay. That's only a dollar, if other people give them more I figure she gets between 300...
