"...Why does God get blamed for everything?..."

HOUSEWIVES: I find the best way to get two bottles of washing-up liquid for the price of one is by putting one in your shopping trolley and the other in your coat pocket.

I run into this a lot. I will be speaking with someone, and they will repeatedly use the wrong word for something while they speak. Usually it's two words which sound a lot alike. For example, I was talking to a woman once and she was telling me that balaclava (yes, the head covering of choice for bank robbers) is one of her favorite desserts, and that she likes to go to Greek or Middle Eastern restaurants which serve it. Obviously, she was talking about baklava, the layered pastry. She kept going on about it after she found out my mother knows how to make it.

In trying to help her get the right word, I kept repeating "baklava" back to her, each time more slowly, but she just wasn't getting the signal. In all honesty, my main concern was that she learn the correct word because the next person to hear her mistake might make fun and hurt her feelings.

What is your gentle technique for dealing with similar situations? I don't want to sound like a know-it-all, but I want to help.

My hubby and I were in a restaurant the other day and there was this kid, maybe 5-6 years old that kept running in the aisle and the parents did nothing about it. Once when he went by, I told my hubby that I was tempted to stick my foot out and trip him. He laughed and said that would teach him a lesson. Is tripping a small bratty kid while you're trying to enjoy your meal really a bad thing to do?

When approach to get married, should he announce that he is gay, and not attracted to females? What if he has very natural flamboyant female characteristics can he give talks at the Kingdom Hall or Assembly or is he not allowed, because he looks and acts gay? If so, aren't Jehovah Witnesses unfair to some?

Each church I speak to teaches Jesus/God/whoever judges sends all non-believers to eternal hell for the 'unforgiveable sin' of rejecting the Holy Spirit (ie. rejecting Jesus).

Is there a non-heretic, mainstream Christian school of thought that teaches hell is not eternal, not as excruciating as Dante's inferno, and that allows non-believers to enter heaven? I'd love to join if there were.

actually affect anything? Does it change points or alter anything other than the number mark?

And if it doesn't... why care about it? I would think people who only give thumbs up to their friends would be more offensive as those actually alter point tallies. Thoughts?

Or am I just missing the point?

Hello, I am 14, and I have many abilities.So I was testing out other things to see if I can do them too.I found out that if I look at a card(I use UNO cards)I can see the color of it, but the thing is, is that I am looking at the back of the card. & I have never seen what color the card is. For exaple, I shuffle a deck of cards, pick up the first one in the deck while it is face down, I then look at the middle of the back of the card & see the color to star appear.Like if the color of the card was yellow, I would see the color Yellow appear on the back of the card & I havent even fliped it over to see the color of the card. (sorry, that was really hard to explain.)
Now the 2nd new thing I found out tonight that I can do is look at someone's picture(and I dont even know their name) and I study it. Study it for about 15 seconds.Then I close my eyes and I can see the first letter of their name appear in green.
Please, if you can then tell me what the name of the new things that I can do

I refuse to shake hands for health reasons. I don't know where the hand has been. Yet people give me funny looks, when I don't shake their hands.
