As it says in my profile and I quote myself "Just here for the forums. Not really looking for anyone, but if "Mr. Right" comes along. . . who knows?"
I really do not expect to meet anyone thru this dating site. I will admit there are a couple of gentlemen I could be interested in, but none are in my immediate area and being the "old-fashioned" woman that I am, I do not believe it would be proper for me to make the first move.
When I first signed up I thought "why not?" anything's possible, but as time went on I realized it's probably not gonna happen. Now I come here to enjoy the comraderie and friendship of the WONDERFUL people I've met since I've been here.
That's a tough question for me, as a group I loved them all. Their music was the best. After they broke up (which broke my heart) I guess I got into John's music.
This is terrible news!!!! To my way of thinking, this seems like a form of discrimination against people who believe in God and the Holy Bible. What is so wrong with a child praying for a good day in school!!!! To ask for help with a test they studied hard for, or a lesson or subject they may be having problems with!!!
Couldn't agree more But it sounds like they are trying to make kids AFRAID to pray or force them to pray BEFORE they enter school property, and that is just WRONG!!!!! A person should be allowed to pray WHEREVER and WHENEVER they want. Who's it gonna hurt???? NO ONE that's who.
So, you're in a relationship with someone and the awkwardness has arisen where either one of you is going to "spend the night" at your respective lover's home for the first time. Do you ask your lover which side of the bed do they want to sleep on, let it take it's course or tell her "This is MY SIDE OF THE BED and just expect them to deal with it because it is YOUR home? And what about further down the road when the relationship gets even more serious leading towards cohabitating or even considering matrimony.....do you compromise and let your lover pick the side of the bed that will ultimately be THEIR side throughout the course of the relationship?
Here are some of the best tips, collected from around the Web, on how to reduce your bill:
Lighten up. Clean out your trunk/boot. According to the Energy Department, carrying an extra 100 pounds reduces a vehicle's fuel economy by up to 2 percent. The percentage is higher with smaller cars.
Carpool. Hitching a ride with neighbors or coworkers lets you make new friends while you conserve energy. Websites such as RideSearch and eRideShare can get you started. There are also many regional sites that specialize in connecting commuters. Do a Web search on "carpool" and the name of your region.
Comparison shop. It works as well with gas as it does with shoes. Websites from GasBuddy to GasPriceWatch let you look up the stations near you and find the one offering the cheapest fuel.
Get sleeker. Roll up your windows and remove that luggage rack and you'll improve your aerodynamics, suggests a blogger at Open Travel Info. The Farmer's Almanac estimates that removing a roof rack can improve fuel economy by 5 percent.
Reward yourself. If you're forced to pay big bucks at the pump, at least collect any available rebates. Gas rewards cards give users cash back and other incentives. Money$martLife compares the various offers and recommends Discover's Open Road card and American Express's Blue Cash, which offer up to 5 percent cash-back rewards on gas purchases.
Reduce horsepower. Getting a car with a four-cylinder engine doesn't have to mean a big image sacrifice. In fact, some car companies are enhancing their lower-horsepower offerings by adding the classic muscle-car engine rumble. Cars with less horsepower also tend to be cheaper.
Visit the mechanic. Replacing a clogged air filter for around $20 increases fuel efficiency by up to 10 percent, or about 37 cents per gallon at current gas prices (so it would pay for itself after you've driven enough to burn about 54 gallons of gas). An engine tuneup can increase a car's mileage by up to 4 percent, or around 15 cents a gallon.
Just coast. (NOT recommended) Here's a real sign of desperation over gas prices: When you're going downhill, moving slowly in traffic, or pulling into a parking space, the Money Kings recommend turning your engine completely off. That way, you can take advantage of the car's momentum and avoid wasting gas on unnecessary acceleration. But the American Automobile Association warns against the dangers of this technique. Power steering and the ability to accelerate quickly may take up more gas, but they also let you get out of harm's way if necessary, says spokesman John Townsend. "The ultimate priority on the road is getting there safely," he says. While it may save some gas, Townsend says that those driving in rush hour, at fast speeds, or close to others should think twice before trying it.
