.....die? I'm a Buddhist and I believe in reincarnation. For all you Buddhists out there, where do you think we'll go after we die? How long do you think before we reincarnate into another life? Few months? Few years? Do you think maybe your past life's family (or extended family) is still alive on this earth, living somewhere else while you're living here? If so, how can you find them?

I know these are weird questions, but hey, someone's gotta ask 'em right? ;)

I am friends with this guy and when I talk to him he looks straight into my eyes like he can see my soul. I absolutely melt when we make eye contact. And when we do talk he will stare into my eyes for about 3-5 seconds longer than most people. Is it a mental connection or something more? Do you think I'm the only one that feels this way or could it be mutual?

I was at a restaurant and on different occasions the item (bread) I ordered was dry and I told them nicely and they refunded my money. Now they say I cannot return because they say they cannot make me happy when I told them nicely that they can . One person said that I asked for a refund twice from her and once from someone else. The total was $3.75 when I spend at least a hundred dollars if not more. The customer is right and I was professional about it. I gave good comments to the restaurant.

The customer service person did not return my call and the restaurant said they can refuse service to anyone. I appologized nicely to everyone even if I did not cause them any loss.

Any advice? I love this place and they have a nice atmosphere I told them I reccommend this place to friends and family. I am willing to pay them and the won't accept anything.

Also they said I returned thngs at other restaurants when I did not the soda machine broke(not my fault) and they refunded my money.

In school we had to learn so much about American History and Government, but is it true that some Americans actually think we all live in Igloos and other stupid stuff like that?

I have been in some situations that made me belive that there is a guardian angel.... altought i personally believe i dont deserve to have one.

Once in a party, a friend was going to give me a ride home, but, when the party was over she told me no. So another person gave me ride and in the way home i saw a car accident, i found later that my friend was driving that car..... so if my friend had give me a ride i would die in the car accident thats for sure.

So is this just good luck?

I am sitting here remininscing on those days in which I didnt seem to have a friend in this whole wide world, but one thing I could depend on was my belief that God knew me and loved me. My heart was always filled with happy hymns or solemn prayer in those days. I used to sing myself to sleep in a house with no lights or water and wake up to interesting days, challenged to find water to bathe. Those days are long gone. But the other day, I visited in a dream that old decrepit house by the train tracks , where my belief was so strong. This time I (me being in the now) was afraid. I was thinking OH No! This place is scary! When I first thought of this question, I was concerned I was forgetting my God, but now, I am refreshed to know He was with me in such horrible times. And I know He will comfort me the rest of my life. I can count on Him to deliver me, to bring me out, and I will not be afraid of fantastic and terrifying situations. I will look back and wonder How did I get over? But I know! It was my God all along! Yay! Good night, people.

just going thru a question, posted by Brenda's world: "Would you forgive a vicar or priest if he sexually abused your young son or daughter?" majority or all most all of them who answered to the question, "said i ll kill him." side by side accepting the truth that bible doesnt allow to kill even ur enemy.
my question is, does this act of yours, to take a stand for your won child, makes you terrorist???? even if it makes u, u ll like 2 b coz it HURTS when it becomes personal.
i am asking coz this is what u all think about muslims. iraqies and afghanies were destroyed for no reasons. now dont say Osama or sadaam. for one person sake you can not destroy countries.when iraqies or Talibaan kills american soliders coz they kill theri innocent ppl then U ALL CALL THEM TERRORISTS. when indian's soldies rape kashmiri women infront of theri husband N sons and muslims reply them back with a bullet in their chest, the muslims are called terrorists. I ASK WHY THIS DISCRIMINATION?

I live in a two-family flat. I have a driveway next to the house. My upstairs neighbor and I have no problems sharing the driveway; she usually parks on the street and so does her husband. (My car has been in the garage for months--broken). My daughter, who lives with me, has a car, and she parks it up against the garage--it doesn't have a legal license yet. My next-door neighbors live in a two-family flat also. Their driveway is right next to mine, with nothing separating them--just a double-wide drive, basicalloy. Now the downstairs neighbor next door usually parks up near the front door, so the upstairs neighbor backs up and around that person by swinging into MY drive. Tonight my grandson parked in MY driveway, by MY front door. So, the two cars were basically side by side. When the upstairs neighbor next door came home, she couldn't pull her car passed the two that were parked there, Instead of asking HER neighbor to move, her big, bad boyfriend pounded on my door,

Basically, my family, my cousin's familes, my grandparents, my aunt, and three of my friends families signed up together to go on a cruise to Alaska. My cousin's dad got sick, so their family is not going. One of my friend's family isn't going, and my grandparents aren't, too. But my aunt and her husband and my two other friend's families are going. Should I go?
