I know that the holdays are coming. It's almost halloween, thanksgiving, and christmas. I am the only child, in high school. Last year for halloween, i went trick or treating by myself. I might not go this year due to braces, i'll just watch disney channel. Then for thanksgiving, my parents were busy fixing/cleaning the house. I just ended up watching thanksgiving parades and events on tv. Our plan was to go to our neighbor for the dinner. They didn't have a kid in their house that's around my age. It was a parent kind of thing, only older people were there. I ended up going with my cousins when they called in the afternoon. I had dinner with them. My parents had it with our neighbor. Then for Christmas, my mom had a head ache, due to using the house heater. My dad had a muscle pain in the shoulder/arm. I just mainly watched tv that day. How can i have fun this holiday season because i'm the only child? any ideas?

or murder, if we all are going to die and decay in the end? I mean, all you would be doing is just speeding someone's time up, that 's it.

So why is it wrong?

Odd question I know but for one I don't like meat plain so will mix it with other things, and often mix mashed potatoes with other things. I like to do that, mix them together. I like the flavors and can make something not good taste good or better. I get a lot of flack at my boyfriends house about it though my parents do not seem to care, Is it no appropriate?

And I don't mean just cover everything with a comforter. Actually make the bed..... Or, are you the type who figures, you'll sleep in it again later, so.... why bother?

Most of the evangelists will be at church and we'll be free to ask without a lot of problems(granted there will be some).

All in favor type "Carpe Diem"

Nothing could be more obvious than the fact that they're not the same thing.

I just came from Mass after not going since the 60s. When and why did the following things change? No kneeling except after Communion, also they changed the response to (Dominus Vobiscum) "The Lord be with you". It used to be "And with your Spirit" now it's something else. And why didn't anyone genuflect? And why do they now include that tag on the end the of The Lord's Prayer (the power and the glory part, I was not taught that as a youngster in Catholic school)? And I thought women/girls had to wear some kind of head covering. Many other things also seem different. Arbitrarily changing things which were once taught as fundamental goes against the concept of absolute Faith, which demands that you believe in something consistently. "Upon this rock I build my Church" meaning Simon Peter and also meaning a solid unshakeable foundation. No? Thanks for your help with this -

I'll ask this to the Asian girls amongst us, what are your views on arranged marriages??....are you willing to settle down with someone thats been chosen by your elders??...I know alot of background digging goes on in finding a suitable partner lol (i'm of an ' Asian ' background myself)

Also, I know this is just a cultural thing too done in that part of the world, but still today more and more people decide to choose their own life partners. just wanted some views and opinions on this topic.

If your're a Non-Asian, would be interested in your comments too.

thanx xx

Are you aware that being told "God Bless You", being told you will you are going to Hell, viewing a cross with a dead person on it in plain view, viewing a TV ad that promotes a religion, being required to put my hand on the Holy Bible in court, saying the pledge of allegiance with the words "under God", spending money that say "in God we trust" on it, listening to a college lecture given by a Nun (in her habit), walking passed numerous churches every day, being taught Intelligent Design in school, listening to evangelists on TV speaking of Jesus, hearing George Bush refer to God, hearing Falwell say that 9/11 was God giving us "what we deserved", and more, and more, and more.... is offensive to me?

Why does everyone want to copy Italians. All the rappers are all about trying to be Italian now. All the skits on the cd's are about it, they are all naming themselves things like the Don or Little Gotti, etc.Then you got like the Russian Mafia and people like that trying to copy Italians.

you think that everybody else is wrong in their beliefs, so you run around telling other people how right you are?

I see family, but, in reality I could care less, I mean I like, I'm fond of them, I currently have a need for them, but that's about it. I can see myself moving away, and mostly likely never getting in contact with them, mom, cousins, uncles and aunts.

Is this bad? I mean, I don't care much about others, unless it has some effect on me. I can fake sympathy when need.ed

Yet to others I come off as a detached and cold person, one without feeling.

Is it possible to change this? I would rather give somebody, money to stop them from crying, then ask them what's wrong. I'm social at time, I talk to other students, I have a work study job, I'm involved in clubs. But I care very little if nothing about those people.

Is something wrong with me?

I been without a car for two weeks now. My friends at work have been more then nice to offer me rides in and out of work. My friend won't take money from for gas, as she gets free gas through husbands work. What should I get someone who has been generous to pick me up in the morning and checks in on me to see if I have a ride home. What should I get? Whats to much or to cheap? She said I am doing you a favor and someday return the favor. I said I am good for it. But I really would like to get her a thank you gift without it offending her. As she was mad I was trying to give her money. What do I get for someone like this?
