Take your pick!

A Battle - Everything is a competition or a struggle. We are always either winning or losing.
A Garden - Relationships are cultivated like flowers or vegetables. We see things as growing, flowering, producing.
A Mission - We believe that we have the truth and we need to convince others that our point-of-view is right.
A Journey or an adventure - We travel from place to place meeting new people and exploring.
A Building - Starting with a solid foundation, then adding floors and rooms.
A Roller Coaster - Life consists of ups and downs, and we are along for the ride.
A Stained-glass window - full of light and colors.
A Mountain Climb - Life consists of hierarchies. We are always climbing the corporate ladder.
A Race - always finding the fastest route, "keeping up with the Jonses."
A Courtroom - Everything in life should be fair.
Stepping Stones - We barely get comfortable where we are before we are looking for better job or a bigger house.
A Prison - Feeling like we don't have choices, like others have all the power.
A Classroom - There are always new lessons to learn.
A Battery - Every encounter seems to drain energy. We need the weekends to recharge.

I was eating my bowl of alphabet soup when all of the sudden I scooted my elbow over and knocked it off the table. when I leaned over to look at the mess I made the letters, to my amazement, spelled out.. 'There is no god but FSM.' I used to be atheist but I now feel an immediate need to convert and am willing to save anyone else who wants to get to Flying spaghetti monster heaven. Just follow the gospel of the FSM and d owhat ever I say that FSM said in my alphabet soup and YOUR SAVED! Isn't that easy enough?

I've studyed dreams, I just want others opion. All the dreams are happy dreams. We don't have sex in all of them. Sometimes my husbands in them, sometimes he's not. In the dreams, alot of the time we're just hanging out, or we live together, or he tells me he loves me. Just good happy stuff. We had an argument in one though. I wake up feeling refreshed & happy. But then I see my husband beside me & I feel guilty. In real life my husbands best friend & I are are close. We get along very well. He does stay with us sometimes.We're friends. He understands me & I him.We all hang out alot. In privite conversation, we have, when feeling ugly, reasured the other that their cute. Also...what does him (the best friend) saying to my husband that I'm mom material & I'm something to write home about mean? I asked him why he said that (in priviate) & he said cause its true. But he won't tell me what it means.If it matters I'm an aries/tarus. Hubbys a capricorn, the best friend is a libra.

My Great Grand mother is from Germany (White).
My Great Grand father is (Native American Indian) and a Great Chieftain.
Their Daughter (my Grand mother), married an African American.
This Makes my Mother = (White & Native American Indian, & African American).
But it doesn't stop there! My Father is from Asia.

That makes me :
( White, Native American Indian, African American and Asian).
I have heard all the Jokes about being a mongrel, So please leave out the jokes!! Most application tell you to pick one race for their applications.
I never like to just picking just one race, ( If I pick Asian, then I'm omitting my mothers unique side of her heritage). If nothing else, I am culturely rounded!

I'm always having dreams come true, just last month I saw my grandfather getting hit by a red truck (he lived), I saw what my aunts future husband will look like, heck I even foresaw my cousin get his wife pregnant (their baby is going to be so cute!) and just last night I had a dream in which I foresaw myself getting smothered with a pillow, I wasn't even able to see the face of the person doing it. Is this a reason to be worried? Because in my other dreams, the future was seen through my eyes and not anyone else's, so in a way it doesn't really make sense does it? Can someone who has psychic abilities or studys this kind of stuff help me plz!?

How do we know that God did not create genes and similarities between organisms, only to be discovered by modern day (and not-so-modern day) people thousands of years later?

Here's my thoughts:

Judaism: blue (because of the blue thread that was to remind them to keep the commandments, and also blue is a "loyal" color).
Islam: Green.
Christianity: red (blood of Christ)
Zoroastrianism: white
Hinduism: yellow (I don't know why)

and so on....

I want to share this with you all because I don't have anything against Gay Folks, I think we are all the same and if we can laugh and enjoy life then it's all good. Please let me know what you think and how you feel about my joke, Thanks.

An old cowboy sat down at the Star bucks and ordered a cup of coffee.
As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him.
She turned to the cowboy and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?"
He replied, "Well, I've spent my whole life breaking colts, working cows,
going to rodeos, fixing fences, pulling calves, bailing hay, doctoring
calves, cleaning my barn, fixing flats, working on tractors, and feeding
my dogs, so I guess I am a cowboy."

She said, "I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As
soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women. When I shower, I
think about women. When I watch TV, I think about women. I even think
about women when I eat. It seems that everything makes me think of
women."

The two sat sipping in silence.
A little while later, a man sat down on the other side of the old cowboy
and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?! "
He replied, "I always thought I was, but I just found out that I'm a
lesbian."

I'd love to be rich before I'm too old to enjoy it. But the only thing I'm rich in is debts, debts and debts! Do you know if everyone who visits this joint just give me $1 I'll be filthy rich! Any better ideas?

Christians, separately or as members of churches, operate thousands of homeless shelters, food & clothing drives, soup kitchens, and aid organizations, nationwide, with no similar effort by atheists and atheist organizations. If atheists are as superior as they endlessly claim, why don't they care more for their fellow human beings?

Instead, in an obvious attempt to distract from their own inaction, many ridicule, insult, and belittle, the very Christians and churches who are doing something - cowardly doing so knowing most Christians won't respond in kind.

In my opinion, neither group can claim superiority over the other without tangible and substantial proof of that. Christians certainly have that in the things mentioned above; therefore stand head and shoulders above atheists in my book.

I think people should just use a bottle or stay at home and take care of your baby. Everyone's eyes shouldn't have to be forced to view it.

I like Asian guys A LOT.
Even though I'm not Asian, I've noticed a lot of people being very rude and mean towards Asians at my school, and I'm sick of it. They assume that just because theyre Asian, that theyre super smart, and nerdy. Some of my friends also say that they are not very nice looking(which is totally untrue to me because I find Asian guys EXTREMELY attractive). People need to realize that just because one person in one race is a certain way, doesn't mean all people in that race are that way.
Do you agree?
