rather not waste time arguing over nonsense when it's clear the person wasn't understanding what i have already mentioned several times. I'd rather be a straight shooter and jump to the point, since all other efforts to explain, failed to register to that person whom ever she may be, or he depending on the person and situation. Been through enough arguments to really be more of a waste of time th

already know why. the only conflicts come from disrespectful people. I have a right to address those individuals when they've stepped over the line. those are the ones who need serious introspection. I only have a problem with those who start throwing accusations with poor judge of character. I'll tell people to their face how wrong they are for their blunt rudeness. not afraid to do so and stand

I'm happy how that post turned out for the most part and the support I received. I'm talking about the post I made after that addressing just Atheist&Happy. I was trying to clear things up so maybe she could have a better understanding where I was coming from instead of her jumping to conclusions about me. Then Timothy and a few others jumped all over that topic with a bunch of jargon to fill

great advice for everyone, especially those who enjoy bullying. Thanks for sharing. I've heard this one before and I do my best to be kind to others, until someone pushes me too far. Then I need to stick up for myself. Shows I choose to have integrity and respect for myself when others don't care to give any back when I've done my best to give them the benefit of the doubt and a some understandin

Everyone gather round. Everytime freshperspective/experienceheals posts a topic addressing someone who has misunderstood him or of value to him, and anyone else who shares common ground, disrupt, use up his or her post's with childish jargon, so the topic will be out the door as quick as it was posted. Maybe sooner or later, they'll get the message we don't care what they say and they'll eventual

To clear some things up. Not to turn into a bickering match amongst others. Please take your heated exchanges elswhere. Haha!

People are bound to get upset at you when you accuse them of things that aren't true. People will get upset with you when you assume stuff about them you know nothing about. People will get upset with you when you take their words and twist them around to your own understanding. People will continue to be upset with you, as long as you continue to relate your own personal experiences to other's e

She has her own grocery/laundry cart she uses, but the bag is a bit heavy for someone of her physical challenge with her bad back to heave over the top of the basket and lift it out once it's home. She may have a cart that's lower of some sort as well. Not sure. For now, for a while I'm not going to approach or talk to her unless she approaches me and or we have to walk past each other which

Been there, done that for a few years in a nursing home. not my fondest job, although did teach me a great deal of patience and tolerating mental emotional abuse. like their own human punching bag. Elderly aren't stupid and at any given chance, they will pull at peoples heart strings, doing what ever they can to adopt you as one of their own until you start helping them, then they feel they've go

I couldn't believe when I heard this girl I used to like when we were single, said to me several years later, "I don't think my marriage is going real well, because we didn't get married in the temple." What!!!? Wake up sister! Your marriage is failing, because your lack of proper communication and connecting on a mental, emotional level! She struggled with bi-polar as well, which reall

Alright, We've had this neighbor since last Summer. She's in her 70's at least. Her family and friends helped her move in. A lot of clean cut cub scout/boyscout mormon looking boys helped out and her own adult kids looked clean cut as well. My first impression was they're probably Mormon and she may be also. Until I had a conversation with her one day about religions, spirituality and she wasn't

For sure stop watching horrible news! It's ok to be realistic, just that if horrible news is going to encourage overexaggeration of those things possibly happening to you, then it's probably best to avoid watching it until you can get a better grip and hold of yourself between your own path in life and other's. I also want to say that having an aquarium set up, once it's established and doing wel

Also during the day, if you're inside and not getting enough dalight, make sure you're atleast taking enough vitamin D3 with proper amounts of IU in it per day.

A lot of that are biased assumptions on members of the church. Not all members get treated the same nor do they act the same. An awful lot of those statements Ford pulled out directly from the mormon church's web site is all the sugar coated and white washed load of crap the church want's people to think about them. Most of what was posted is a bunch of b.s.! Of course most people responding to t
