A.J. Hammer is very jealous of Oprah. She said that Oprah should give to this country first before giving to other countries. News alert - Oprah has given thousands of times to this country. Not every time Oprah gives she announces it. She's given to many students from the USA publicly on her show as recently as last year.

It sad that when people do good that people like A.J. Hammer look for a dark lining for criticism. The USA schools are many times better than the majority of the schools in the whole of Africa. We have many rich people here in the USA to contribute here. After all this is on of the most powerful and richest country in the world - the complete opposite of Africa. If Africa is educated, then billions of dollars donated to curb diseases and starvation will not be needed. This money could then go to better programs here in America. See the streaming video on what A.J. Hammer has to say on cnn.com

Joseph interpreted the Pharoah's dreams meaning there was going to be a famine. That was God's way of warning them to prepare for it. Do you think God still speaks to us in our dreams and we need to find ways to interpret them to find meaning?

My question is, when two people kiss, why does it involve using the mouth? Is there any information on where this practice originated? When you think about it, it's kinda silly. "Oh let's touch our mouths together and this means we like each other". It could have just as easily been eyeballs rubbing together or clicking fingernails or something. So...why the mouth?

me and my children plus my bff's daughter went to the mall. You see, this year we decided to have Christmas after Christmas due to some financial difficulties.
We purchased items at Macy's, Lady Foot Locker, and Charlotte Russe. Our spree was far from over until we entered a women's clothing store, RAVE. Now being females you can imagine how tiring this event could be especially with teens and a four year old. By the time we got to this store, I immediately headed for the first seat I saw which was in the shoe section. I along with all the bags from the previous stores were seated waiting patiently for the girls to find their selections and head for the counter. My daughter, Tiffany found some shoes she liked which were priced at 4.25 with tax so I told her to get a pair in every color if she wanted but they only had one pair in her size. Meanwhile all the other girls are looking around and asking me their advise on some of their selections, the choices they made were laid either next to me or on my lap. I receive a phone call from (Midnight) my friend, as we are talking Tiffany tells me she only wants the shoes, so I give her a $20 bill to pay for her item. She heads for the counter, the other girls are still shopping when all of a sudden I feel someone pull something off of my lap, so my first instinct was to grab it back because I was caught off guard on my cellphone and I thought someone was trying to nab my pocketbook. When I looked up it shocked me to see it was one of the store employees and she said to me "oh here let me put these back for you". I told her I wasn't finished shopping yet and she had no right to take something of of my personal without permission. She replied "Oh I asked the girl (Tiffany) if she was getting the socks and she said no". I advised her that I am her mother and she still had no right to take items off of my lap. So she looked at me like she had an attitude. I proceeded with my phone call and of course Midnight heard the whole thing go down so when I got back on the phone he was like "dag she crazy!", I said, " You know, and she still at the same rack she was at when I first walked in the store.... fixing nothing." The employee had the nerve to butt into my convo by saying,

"THIS IS MY STORE AND I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!!!!! I said to her that she had no business getting into my conversation and that was no way to talk to a customer. Basically she had this I can do whatever I want attitude so I asked to speak to her manager and she told me she was the manager. I then asked to speak to her manager, at first she went to say she was the BIG HONCHO to their wasn't anyone higher than her. Now she was testing my intelligence, I have worked in customer service for the last twelve 1/2 years for a MAJOR telecommunications company so I know about escalation procedures. That's when I decided I no longer wanted to try to have a civil conversation with her so I turned to the other employees and asked them for the higher up and they just looked at their manager without even acknowledging me at all. So I asked the manager again for her higher up and she told me to leave her store. I told her I wasn't leaving unless she gave me info on how to forward a complaint about her, this is when she gave her two employees a direct order to call mall security and 911!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because I was being charged with criminal trespassing?????????? I thought about how much of a power trip this chick is on. So now of course I am flaming hot, I called my Big Sis to tell her what just went down, all the while we waiting for the PO PO to show up she is repeatedingly interrupting my conversations that I am having on the phone and with my daughters. And I also was telling her she is no way a manager acting the way she was and now I wanted my money back because I choose to no longer support this store any more. She had the audacity to tell me I wasn't getting a refund. WTF????????????? Whaddya mean I can't have my money back? She just kept saying I was criminal trespassing and she wanted me out of her store and asked me if I understood ENGLISH (was she serious)? I told her not without my money I definitely ain't going nowhere now.

So the mall security shows up and she begins to wail "I want her out my store now!" I turned to him and told him the same thing I told her, "Not without my money!" Then she turned and told her employees to give me my refund so I can leave. Sooooooo I'm sitting there waiting and telling the employee that she told them to give me my refund, she looks at her manager. I looked at the employee and asked her what's going on and here comes the manager once again " We need your id to give you your money back." I said, " Are you serious I'm not giving you my info that's not part of your return policy on the back of this receipt and I didn't even leave your store with the merchandise." All while arguing with thie peon, my four year old was following the manager in the store asking her "Why you screaming at my mom, don't be talkin to her like that!", my bff's daughter asking me, "Can I just sock her puuhhlease, and my oldest daughter nervously looking at me because she thinks I'm going to get arrested, I decided to show my ID. But I guess it was too late because they all ignored the fact that my id was sitting with the receipt, $15.75 change, and their merchandise. I even bought it to the mall security dude's attention and he didn't say nuthin. I guess he was waiting for the real PO PO to get their.

So here they come, the men in blue. They come straight to the perpetrator, ME. I am proceeding to tell they officers what was going on and as I demonstrate I made the biggest mistake by touching the officer's leg. In which he ordered me to not touch him. I apologized. So I continue and the officer told me to have avoided the situation I should have left the store, and of course I told him the same thing I told the manger and the security guard, "not without my refund" So he turns to the manager to ask her why she just didn't give me my refund and she told him they needed my identification. I then told the officer that my ID was sitting there for the past five minutes and no one bothered to give me my refund. And of course the manager is doing the same thing she was doing before " I want her removed and I want to press charges and I want her banned from this store". The officer is TELLING HER TO CALM DOWN and proceeds to talk to her. I asked the officer if he was finished talking to me and he TOLD ME TO SHUT UP. I was totally shocked and of course I told him that I didn't have to shut up. So to turn my attention away from him I start talking to my child and what does he do? The same thing the manager did, all up in my convo. He started yelling at me telling me I better shut up, threatened to throw me in jail, swung his handcuffs in my face if I spoke one more time. When I asked him why was he yelling at me when I wasn't yelling at him he told me he was allowed. Come on now I know my rights and I can talk all I want especially if I am not being demeaning or talking directly to him. He then asked for my id and I said for what he says for reporting purposes only. He asked me if it was my current address I said no , he asked for the current one and since I was so ticked off at the time I said I don't have to give him that info. Of course he threatened to take me to jail. I asked him on what grounds? He then replied with this bogus answer, "for investigation of an officer". Me being the person I am told him that didn't make any sense whatsoever and that I never heard of that charge. Well by now he's pissed off and and asked me how old I was, I simply told him that information was on my id and he should know how old I was, then he asked, " aren't these your children?" I stopped him right in his tracks because I knew where he was going with it. I simply told him not to do that... he was not about to tell me how I should act around my children when I am pissed. He then ordered me out the store and I told him not without my money. I don't know why he thought thatswinging his handcuffs in front of my face would intimidate me and get me to leave without my money. The officer then gives the ID to the manager so they can give me my refund and get my information so they can press charges on me. The manager throws my id on the counter and I told her that is not how it was given to her and she shouldn't be tossing nuthin at me. The cop jumped in and said , "LEAVE NOW" and once again I did not have my money because (their excuse this time) I didn't fill out the return form, my oldest daughter at this time is so nervous she grabs the ink pen and fills out the form. The other kids are yelling saying wait until I get my money at least. My four year old is going crazy ready and willing to beat any body up who is messin with her momma including the PO PO. (LOL) So I get my money and leave the store, talking out loud , not believing the ish that just happened. The officer tells me to shut up once again. And I basically told him no and if I broke any laws to arrest me. Well he knew I didn't break any laws and I continued to talk ish while they escorted me and the girls out the mall (my four yo needs a talkin to..she was threatening the police asking them why they were following us and then turning to me asking me if I want her to hit them with her DORA umbrella) and security followed us all the way to my car in which they had their security vehicle follow us off their premises. I am so angry at this point and I am wondering why I have a tremendous burning feeling in my stomach and I felt like I was going to throw up?

So that ended our joyous outing. We had to leave the mall with every nosey person on earth watching us like we stole something, but like I said we left with our heads high, talking crap, with a DORA umbrella toting 4 year old that had my back.


I couldn't believe what just really happened, after reviewing the situation, I realized these so called employees was on me and the girls as soon as we walked into the store. With me being so occupied between being on the phone and the girls asking me a million and 1 questions, I didn't realize what was going on. I kept wondering why I felt so overcrowded when there was only me, the girls and the employees in the store. I had to move my shopping bags out of their way numerous times. One time an employee actually knelt down by my bags acting like she was fixing stuff and the manager kept fidgeting with the same two racks which were right in front of me. the girls told me why the manager was focused on me the other two employees was on their back. And how on earth would the so called manager know that I had a pair of socks on my lap and that was the only item she grabbed?

Here is my answer:


What I like best about Islam is the nature of its prayers. In Christianity prayers are said in order to ask for worldly blessings such as wealth, position and honour from Allahu ta'ala through Issa a.s.. Muslims, in contrast, express their gratitude to Allahu ta'ala and they know that as long as they abide by their religion and obey the commandments of Allahu ta'ala, Allahu ta'ala will give them whatever they need without them asking for it.

what ur's??

Will God allow your anti-temptation muscles to atrophy by not allowing temptation to exist in heaven?

How will God know that you will not succumb to sins if God does not test you from time to time?

Will someone of the millions of saved souls in heaven eventually get sicks and tired of being good then they will investigate another one of God's planets and just for fun see if they can get the inhabitants to eat an apple?

I bought a cemetery plot and would like to use it the summer for miscellaneous activities. Is this acceptable?
I’m in my early 30’s and recently purchased a cemetery plot. Rather that let it sit there and receive any use from it until I’m dead, I’ll like to partake in some summer activities this coming year. The grounds are kept so nice and the grass is so green, I’d like to sunbathe on it. I’d also like to get outdoors and use it for some stretching and yoga. I’ve told a few of my friends about these plans and they state the cemetery may not let me “hang out” there. I disagree – I bought the land and have the paper work to show anyone who may oppose my recreation. So, I guess my question – Is this acceptable? Don’t I have the right to do as I please, as the plot is mine?

I have never been to, or involved in, a wedding. Therefore, I don't know what is customary. I have come to believe, however, that the father always walks the bride down the aisle, to 'give her away' to her future husband. My father passed away recently, and I am getting married next summer. What other options have you heard of?

Addition details, in case they become relevant. My mother is deceased as well, I have no siblings who could give me away, I have no godparents, no step parents, my father has no brother who could do it, and I have never met any of my mother's side of the family. I'm running out of options!

"Proof is in the eye of the beholder. And one cannot prove anything to someone who doesn't want to be convinced that his or her own ideas are wrong."

Do you guys agree with this statement? It seems ALOT of people come on here asking for proof that something does or does not exist, but they actually have zero intent on believing the answers if it disagree with their beliefs. Whats the point of even asking a question if you're biased and won't listen? Are you just trying to find some people to agree with you so that you can justify whatever it is you believe in?

should i do a protection ritual before using my ouija?
last night i was using it because i kept feeling like someone was watching me, and I was the only one in the house. So i grabbed my ouija and started asking questions. It didn't do anything at first, I was about to put it up.
suddenly when i was about to move it to goodbye.
it went to each corner of the board.
and started spelling stuff out that made no sense.
Should i use protection spells before using the ouija?
