I read an article today about many people would get married today because of the supposed good luck. What are your thoughts?

I am currently working on a paper. Or short story. And i have some cool ideas on a 'Fairy World' and everything. I have most of the details and names. But i am stuck. I'm having a hard time finding a reason for my main character to have to go into this fairy world. I am at a complete stand still. If anyone has any small ideas they would be greatly appreciated! :-)

What exactly are they basing this rather big statement on? It can't be a man made book that's for sure, so what is it??

Just had to crank up the volume for U2's "New Year's Day". I do the same with Metallica's "Enter Sandman" (okay, being a die-hard rocker since '64 the list is endless, but these came to mind readily enough).

Don't get me wrong, I love Enya and a wide variety of Celtic instrumentals, but there is something very powerful and primal about rock.

It is as if Enya touches the feminine, while rock touches the masculine (if I may be excused for stereoptyping, but that is how it feels to me).

Care to suggest a reason for that?

I am force sensetive, and i have been feeling weird these past weeks. I just want confirmation if anybody else that is or isn't force sensetive, if they feel the same. (when i mean force sensetive, i mean psychic, and when i mean psychic i mean from a dream, branching out to actually peering into a crystal ball, from having a series of coincidences, to fliping thru tarot cards, from using your sixth sense to pick up on something, to just senseing peoples emotions. I'm taking surveys from all across the board, your input matters, whether your oppinion spans deep into the metaphyiscal specturm stretching all the way across the physical spectrum of your perspective. Thank You

I used to be catholic, but in 16 years of church-going and 13 years of catholic schooling, I never understood the concept of mortification. I mean, I understand that it is enduring physical hardships in order to clean the soul, but I don't see why people would do that instead of just praying and doing good works.

Also, why does the church condemn self-injury (cutting, burning, et cetera) but allow (even promote, as it is extolled in some accounts of saints) very serious mortification? Where is the line between sin and virtue, between holiness and insanity?

I don't understand why it is considered acceptable to flagellate oneself, or go on excessively long fasts, or wear metal spikes that dig into your leg, or bang your head against a rock. I did much less in my teen years and was almost committed to a mental hospital!

Please help me understand this. Mind, I'm not in any way being anti-catholic... I just am very curious.

This lady that works at my office as a part-time employee (a job that we generally hire high schoolers for) has several college degrees. When I asked her why she isn't working in the field she earned her degrees in, she said she never intended to use her degrees for work-purposes and just wanted to get the degrees for the sake of "learning." Do you find this as strange as my coworkers and I find it strange??

My name is Sandra and I live in Austin Tx. And no matter what I do and what I write I cannot get anyone to resond, or to become and want to become my...FRIEND.!! What have I done that is so horrible, or is so horrible about me that no one wants to have anything to do with me at all? All I want to do is have people in my neighborhood here where I live to do something with me, and talk to every once in while, maybe go to a movie or out to eat or just simply sit at home and watch T.V. and talk on the phone. Wouldn't that be great. I don't even know why I have an answering machine. I never get any messages in it anyway. Since I don't have any friends what so ever. Who would ever call me? Why doesn't anyone want to be my friend? Isn't there anyone in the whole city of Austin Texas that wants to be my friend? ANYONE?? Am I not a good person?

My male gay friend mentioned to me.What exactly are they?

2007-07-07 11:12:14 · 10 answers · asked by Candi Apples 7 in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender

My case manager said that my friend isn't a good friend because of something her boyfriend did wrong to me. & also, my CM said my friend shouldn't be allowed in my house anymore. That's my ONLY good friend, & I have no family support at all. & she said that if she catches my friend @ my house, she'll have me put in a group home. Is this unfair or what?

My friend told her boyfriend off about insulting me. She defended me, & my case manager STILL said my friend ALLOWED her boyfriend to disrespect me.

Now my friend & I are both sad, & she felt she had to dump her boyfriend, just to stay my friend, rather than allowing my friend to mediate between me & her boyfriend or try to settle our beef (resentment).

It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.
— Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation.
— Benjamin Disraeli

People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them that Benjamin Franklin said it first.
— Unknown

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.
— Mark Twain (1835-1910)

The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest men of past centuries.
— René Descartes, (1596-1650)

I hate quotations
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

quote:
==============================
The fact that non-local correlations and non-local quantum information can now be seen as ubiquitous in nature leads to the conclusions that the quantum hologram can properly be labeled as "nature's mind" and that the intuitive function we label in humans as the "sixth sense" should properly be called the "first sense". The perception of non-local information certainly preceded and helped to shape, through learning feedback, the sensory systems that evolved in planetary environments, and which we currently label as the five normal senses.



We must conclude that evolved, complex organisms which can form an intent can produce and often do produce non-local causal effects associated with that intent. Further, that attention alone produces coherence in nature that in some measure reduces randomness.



Finally, I conclude that the cited experiments and current understanding of non-locality in nature is sufficient to postulate that non-locality is the antecedent attribute of energy and matter which permits perception and is the root of the consciousness which manifests in the evolved organisms existing in three dimensional reality.

despite their beliefs or lack thereof? I have a real fondness for many of the regulars, even though we are dead opposites on belief or lack thereof. In my opinion this is an excellent thing!
