Among his writings were these most famous words" I am human and I think that nothing of that which is human is alien to me"I disagree. There is much about human beings that is alien to me. Do you agree with Terence? Can you explain why?

Can't they just believe in some of these ideas, instead of every single one?

Some people do exactly that. I don't know why. Go figger! Do you?

Let's just keep wasting time. Who is it gonna hurt? Place your bets. Who will get creamed, who will be unhurt, who will emerge victorious? Geez what a COLOSSAL waste of time. Why DO something when you can waste time DOING NOTHING? :(

He says it's gonna happen September 23.There is a Christian website called UNSEALED that agrees with him and even has a Rapture Index Score. Apparently September 23 scores very high Seems to be limited to a Christian religion thing. Any of you Christians out there prepared to meet your maker on Saturday? Will you be whisked up or left behind?

So folks are acceptable or unacceptable in direct proportion how much they are like you?

Think kindly of those who are not as fortunate as you and help them if you can. Life is what you decide to make of it. No one does it for you. Sappy? Be that as it may it works if you apply it. :)

I thanked her and told her she didn't have to, but she insisted. I felt sort of guilty/embarrassed about it. She probably noticed the circles under my eyes and my zombie-like demeanor..

The first one to name the animal that visited my yard and snacked on the apples , will receive a special virtual gift from me, Harry. Not sure what it will be yet. Maybe I will send you a recent photo of my eyes. Maybe I'll send you another photo of the real Harry. Dealer's choice TBD. BTW, you must be specific when naming the animal.*edit* Due to relentless spamming by someone who's annoying but I love anyway, each person is allowed ONE entry only. Only one! Comprende? If you make a second one and it's correct, I won't be acknowledging it. Sorry. Them's the rules now. I can makes them and breaks them as I see fit. **EDIT 2 - Game is over. Jaimie started to cry and throw a temper tantrum so I caved. I hate it when children start screaming. I shouldn't have given in and should have thrown a lollipo... less

It's a big two-story mall with several anchor stores and maybe 50 or so smaller shops, as well as a food court. The mall is being readapted to something else, so everything but a couple of the stores are closed and the whole upper floor is vacant. The food court is also gone. As we walked past all the empty shops, my son remarked that it would be a great place for the end of the world on the 23rd or if the zombie apocalypse comes. He argues that a family could grab any one of the empty stores and use it as a living space, and that the mall, as a whole, would be easy to defend, if a group was there. I'm thinking no. Having that many people together in an end-of-times or emergency situation is dangerous, and you can't rely on people to protect the perimeter. Plus, there are so many points of entry. Once something happens inside or gets inside, you're mostly a sitting duck. Sure, you can pull down the door of your storefront, but y... less

I realize they are not married, and I vowed I would not continue a chat even if it were friendly, with a married person, but would you if the person had a gf? I feel badly just halting /cutting off any continued chat, but I also feel weird to continue.... If I had a bf and saw him chatting with a girl I'd feel low... what are your thoughts ? I once did chat w/ a guy IRL who had a girlfriend, but it was just at a concert and he was my seatmate... he was great and even complimented me, but I d idn't even say thanks ....lol. I felt like if I did I'd be almost flirting or something, and just kind of looked away. We did laugh but then of course, the concert was over. What do you think of it online ? (in a friendly way... I'm still feeling wary about it) less
