Very scary stuff. People who don't pay taxes don't care (and the numbers are growing). It's the fool who works who gets robbed...over and over and over again.
My taxes are so bad I can barely afford rent and health insurance (which are also very high).
I don't understand why you completely misunderstood my posts.
I wasn't supporting or justifying anything. good grief. That was explained clearly.
People should be given the freedom to choose who they marry and should be of the common marriageable age (usually over 21, definitely NOT 12). I think you just want to rile me..have fun I'm done.
Sometimes we "know" better, but we play the cards anyway, because we are so drawn into it. The mystical thing to me is that so few people have that connection with us. And when they do, it is often destined to fail. (Romeo and Juliet ring a bell)?
There are many ways to make a living that don't require 9 to 5 desk warming. If they didn't pay taxes I doubt they would be interested in the Tea Party...they would already be having a party.
As your blog notes, life is ever changing and there is no security even though we cling to it. Trouble in the world will always exist. That is why we cherish faith and hope (for many, that is in God)...that tomorrow is another day, and you will make it through!
Sometimes we don't realize that what we do has an impact on others. Your giving them a smile, keeping your promise, being honest, and helping with the workload all help to make life better for those around you.
I have seen people in the store who seem like they want to say hi but it's difficult. If you really want to meet her act as nonthreateningly as possible. The best thing to do would be to get in line behind her and look for the opportunity to make small conversation or somewhere in the grocery aisle where she is stopped and looking at something. Be natural and friendly. She may be pleasantly surprised or may not respond. In the end you will know you tried and be content.
Religion basically means bound to God. It is simply our way of connecting with the Great Uknown and the Source of Life. I am Christian and have felt judged by other Christians. That's why I always concentrated on simple relationship with God as I understood him and not all the different rules.
Nothing wrong with not being ready to share his address or phone number, but the email should be basically safe. Did he give a reason why? He doesn't seem too technically savvy if married; you can always get more than one email account the wife doesn't know about (BUT DON'T TELL HIM).
When I was really young (about 18) my Dad would tell me that I needed to get a job any job and that was the important thing. He didn't stress a college education or going after your dreams just that you should be working.
While I agree that the work ethic is integral I also believe if people work all day at jobs they hate and don't mean anything to them it will disastrous effects on their health and emotional well being.
It used to be that people would work twenty or more years at a certain job retire and get a nice pension. Now with so many companies downsizing and going out of business that security isn't there anymore so people change jobs more often.
Your friends that change jobs were not happy with the ones they had and were moving on to something they thought was better. I do believe when we find work we love and brings us what we need both materially and personally we stay and grow in that profession much of our life.
I love your introductory sentence about the whirligig! Days and nights really do rush by, and that imagery was perfect.
I was in a relationship with an abusive man who actually thought he was kind (I remember him telling me so) and then he proceeded to disparage me. I think we expect people to be the way they describe themselves and so are surprised when they are not...it confuses us! This phenomenon is probably related to the fact that it's hard to see the truth about ourselves. That's why periodic inner reflection is good.
Most dating profiles use generic adjectives to describe themselves, such as smart (the person barely has their GED), sense of humor, kind, sensitive, etc. When you get to the know the person you may not agree with these assessments. Just think of it like an ad or marketing brochure and carry a large salt shaker, lol.
That doesn't mean she was lying; it sounds to me she did not like what you said (would you?) and was angry so cut the conversation off. It's kind of like hanging up the telephone before saying goodbye; people are upset about something said and hang up instead of replying.
People respond to confidence at all ages, and by looking at your pic, I can see there's nothing at all wrong with you but that life has dealt you some hurts and lack of affirmations.
You are not alone in your feelings and not all of them are fact. When you know that you are a unique, valued, and beautiful individual you can go forward to conquer whatever obtacles life throws your way to build your dreams and reach out to love others in a very real way, perhaps in a way you seek but haven't received. We are all looking for unconditional love and acceptance.
You are only 19 so have a long ways to go! Try to see life as more of an adventure you can know, and pursue things that bring you happiness and joy. It's when you see what you can accomplish and how you can bring gifts to others that you begin to understand and have true self esteem.
A good way to find Christian men is to join Christian dating sites. They are more likely to be serious about their faith (although you will find fakes everywhere so be careful.)

RE: its time tea party people went to work

Is there any hope?
