I don't check all the threads here as often as I should and first saw this wonderful poem now. Thank You firebirdflys. The poem is fitting for Memorial Day.

Here are a couple of ideas that may or may not help. A handful of cashews and a piece of beef jerky perk me up in the afternoon. If possible, try to get a full eight hours of sleep each night. That is sleep, not watching TV in bed or reading in bed. Make sure that you are hydrated. This is important...

Lady_Lilith There are so many roads that I SHOULD have taken, and some many roads that I DID take that were actually poor choices. Hopefully, I learned something from every wrong choice and now am slowly moving in the right direction. I believe that the Creator in his Infinite Wisdom ordained that s...

Thanks for sharing these stories. They are a great help in understanding my own life journey. Some religions are on the right path, but they are all lacking in the public relations and teaching departments. The best that anyone can hope for or strive for is to find Truths on their own and figure out...

"Just wondering how anyone else here sees these things working out in life-experiences." Ask and Ye shall receive! It is obvious that you were ranting, but what you posted is actually quite insightful and worthy of some serious thought. I come to this board because I enjoy reading what is happening,...

We hit the upper 40s today with a slight wind. Yesterday was very cold, around freezing for a high. The coming weekend is supposed to be nice, the mid to upper 50s. The wind will be mild to brisk. This IS Oklahoma. I am in NE Oklahoma. I do not miss Wisconsin.

You have made your intentions clear to him, and he has made his clear to you. If he doesn't take the next step write him off. Life is too short to pine for something that won't happen.

Please take my reply as you would take advice from a Dutch Uncle. It is not meant to make you feel bad or to criticize you. You are 30 years old and living with your mom. You told us that you need a loan. You also told us that there is some problem with your car. Please consider that you may not be ...

"There is a saying " there is no such thing as a stupid question", " Trust me on this, I have heard stupid questions, and I mean STUPID questions. Most of the questions on this board are legit and reasonable, but it is quite possible that a real doozy will sneak in, and when it does, just treat it t...

Xiao Rong, that is one of the best suggestions to give to a person in this predicament. This is the first time that I have heard of the "Gray Rock" method. It boils all of the other good advice down to a simple explanation. Thank you for sharing that with us. I am sure that others will be using this...

Public "hexing" is a lose-lose proposition. If something evil does happen to him it will reflect poorly on the "hexers", and if nothing happens, it will reflect even worse on the "hexers". If one has strong feelings on the subject, by all means, protest and be heard. "Hexing" just confuses the issue...

Revenge may feel good at the time, but it is a waste of your time. Let go. What happened is in the past. Do not forget it lest he fool you again, but do not dwell on it. It will eat you up, and it will do no harm to him. Life has a way of taking care of these kinds of people. Let it do the job for y...

Thanks for resurrecting this thread. It is not only interesting, but it also makes one think. Being both Wicca and Christian in quite possible. Believing in the Christ and honoring the Moon Goddess are not exclusive. I am not a witch but believe in much of what Wicca teaches and practices. That is w...

Tylluan, You are certainly eating well. Reading about all the wonderful food is making me hungry! You are making Courgette and Lemon cake. My wife makes a cake with Zucchini and Chocolate. It is not only tasty, it will last for a few days while staying moist. I had to look up the Parkin cake. It sou...

Listen to firebirdflys. Human beings are not animals to be kept as pets. they are also not slaves to be forced to do your will. If you can not find a woman who WANTS to be with you, you might consider asking yourself why, or why not. If you do figure out a way to force or trick this woman into a rel...
