sylvrrain I run into strays all the time. I love it. It just shows how nature behaves. I have planted annuals and they did so bad, whether it was the light, water or soil, I don't know. A year later, I had all these babies come up around the corner of the house and they...

sylvrrain I am not a "dream specialist" or anything, but I think you are insecure about your relationship. You need to talk to your boyfriend and plan visits. You need to be more confident, so you need to talk about your fears with your boyfriend. What ever you do, do...

sylvrrain My husband of 26 years still thinks I am beautiful. He loves me, I love him. After 26 years, wrinkles, a few gray hairs, sagging and he still thinks that, just makes me love him more. I have known all my life I am attractive, but even I know I am not the...

I Wouldn't Know How to Live

thayes1106 @thayes1106 (156) • United States 7 Aug 08

I wouldn't know how to live if I didn't have anxiety attacks on the regular. I have one if things aren't picked up in the house. I have one if I don't have enough money. I have one if I feel like I am doing all of the work. I have...

panic attacks

sylvrrain I used to have attacks like that, but then I just said F*** IT. Why am I so darn worried or upset about something so trivial. I am ruining my joy in life because everything is not going my way. Am I so selfish that I am probably making everyone else's life...

tough love

pinkycire @pinkycire (24) 7 Aug 08

Spare the rod and spoil the child is all too true. No only at home but in the school, discipline must be clearly, consistently, and conscientiously enforced. A spanking is often the only way to get a child's undivided attentions;...

sylvrrain There are other ways to teach a child how to behave with out physical abuse, emotional humiliation or verbal assault. It's true, some children have to push people to the limit just to see how far they can get. It is up to the adult to let the children know...

sylvrrain What we always did was wash the blueberried in cold water, put in freezer bags and take out as much air as possible. A "seal-a-meal" is nice to have, but I saved my $100 and used a straw. Close the ziploc bag as close to the straw without pinching it, suck the...

sylvrrain I have always felt like the best caregiver for children are their parents. Unfortunately, with the economy the way it is, both parents usually need to work. People are not willing to make sacrifices anymore. My children are grown now, but I quit a really good...

sylvrrain Not knowing what skills you have, no one could advise you. I suggest thinking about what you can do really well, and what you really enjoy doing, and go for it. In some cases, you may need more education. That will open doors that would have been closed to...

Balance

Have you ever thought that bad things are good things? In any religion or belief doing something bad is something that must not be done, however have you stopped and thought of appreciating that without evil we cannot distinguish...

sylvrrain I have always thought that things happen for a reason, good or bad. Don't know if it is really so or not, but it makes my life better. Without the bad, we wouldn't know the good. I also like to think that when you do something good, something good comes from...

Do you think food prices will ever come down? What

would bring them down? What would you do if you were president to find solutions for food costs? What programs would you implement to bring about these changes?

food

prices

sylvrrain fuel prices coming back down should help some, lowering the cost of transporting the food. I think one of the first things I would do is promote local businesses to buy local produce. I would give tax breaks and incentives to the farmers and to the packaging...

What is the origin of evil?

susieq223 @susieq223 (3742) • United States 17 May 08

In the Christian faith the Bible teaches us that God created all things and He called them good. So I wonder where did evil come from? Do you think God created evil also? If not, how did it get into the world? I know the story of...

sylvrrain In my opinion, man has decided what is good or evil. It depends on the society or period that you live/lived in. What was sinful and evil in the 18th century is perfectly acceptable in todays world. One thing I do know, and you have to agree...
