not being a religious person i could never figure out why they are called the 7 deadly sins. i guess i would mainly be guilty of sloth, if that means lazy. i have been in lust, often overeat, have been envious, and angry, have wanted more, and whats wrong with being proud? no lectures please, just asking the question.

Do you hear your Mother's words coming out of your own mouth?

I still hear the echo's of her beautiful voice and realize it's me!

Example: If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all?

You purchased on your own? Do you have fond memories of it?

Mine was a "1963 Volvo 544", that I paid $35.00 a month to the bank for. I purchased it at age 16 working part time after school. I would love to have another one of those.

My family is spread out throughout the western US and we aren't able to spend Christmas together (I am talking me and my 4 siblings not my children) I got this idea today to help us to "share" in the holiday spirit. I presented it to them today and so far almost all have chosen to participate.(there are 40 of us total) We do not exchange gifts amongst ourself so to draw us together I suggested that each year we choose a charity and donate together as a family. Each person over 18, couple, or family is free to donate any amount they choose-I promised not to blab who contributes what. We are pooling our money and donating it together to a charity I selected. In the future we will select the charity together but it was late this year. I so far have pledges from $2 to $200. Just thought I would pass this on. it is helping us to feel more in the Christmas spirit. How about you? Does your family do anything as a family to enhance the season?

An old man decided his old wife was getting hard of hearing. So he called her doctor to make an appointment to have her hearing checked.
The Doctor said he could see her in two weeks, and meanwhile there's a simple, informal test the husband could do to give the doctor some idea of the dimensions of the problem.

"Here's what you do. Start about 40 feet away from her, and speak in a normal conversational tone and see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."

So that evening she's in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he's in the living room, and he says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens."

"Honey, what's for supper?" No response.

So he moves to the other end of the room, about 30 feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?" No response.

So he moves into the dining room, about 20 feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?" No response.

On to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?". No response.

So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for supper?"

"For the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!!!!"

Paddy Adair

It was the end of the Gulf war. The Arabs stared over at the Oil Fields and watched them burning. Day and Night the Flames roared into the sky. The Arabs pondered on how they were going to put out the fires when one Arab suggested that they ring 'Red O Dare'. Red O Dare was contacted but informed the Arabs that he was busy for the next six months. Red O Dare told the Arabs that they should ring his cousin Paddy O Dare from Co Mayo in Ireland.

The Arab got on the phone and contacted Paddy. The Arab explained the problem with the Oil Fields to Paddy and asked if he could help. Paddy Replied: "No Problem." The Arab asked him how quick he could get there and how much would it cost?. Paddy Replied: "I can be there in 10 Hours and it'll cost ya' $10,000. "Great"; said the Arab and hung up the phone.

The Arabs waited in the Desert, still watching the flames shooting into the sky, when all of a sudden an open top truck with four Red Haired Paddy's comes roaring over the Sand Dunes and heads straight into the oil field. The Arabs shouted to no avail, and the truck drove straight into one of the burning rigs. They jumped out, took off their Denim Jackets and proceeded to beat the fire out with them. The Arabs watched with amazement and two days later the Oil Rig Fire was Out. The four Paddy's walked to the Arabs and one said...."Jazus..that was rough!".

The Arab, while writing the check for $10,000, said to Paddy; "And what are you going to buy with all this money?. "Paddy Replied: "Well, the first thing I going to buy a set of brakes for that ******* truck!!"

The woman is probably 70 years old, working part-time at my company; she's very quiet, doesn't talk to anyone much. I think the reason she still wants to work and the company allows her to is because she may go crazy by herself at home. Her only son and daughter both passed away last year because of cancer; they were in their 40s, I believe.

Christmas is here again and I'm sure she's not feeling well inside. I want to get her a present but I have no clue what to buy. I've never had to buy any gift for an elderly woman before since my grandmothers passed before I knew them.

Will someone please give me some ideas? She is caucasian. I'd like to keep it within $50. Thanks!

In this day and age is it really that big of a deal?In my opinion it doesn't make them any more or less than a person. I know there is still a big debate about gay rights and gay marriage in this nation. I say who cares?

you go to the doctor or anywhere and instead of just the person seeking help they have to bring all of the family and take all the space and chairs in the waiting room

I asked a lady out, she dresses very conservative, never talks about guys and when I sent her some flowers she seemed happy but nervous.

She declined my invite for a date and so I told her I accepted and respected her decision. A few weeks later she told me to forget the whole thing so I thought everything was cool.

A few weeks later (3 months after I asked) she blew up at me for no reason and now seems to ignore me. I've been told that she is gay and I know she has several gay friends. I didnt know this when I asked.

Is it normal for a gay lady to blow up when asked by a straight guy? Why couldnt she just move on when I told her I was cool?

I know there are plenty of bad ones out there, but the one that immediately comes to mind is "Distinguished Gentlemen". Turned it off after about 10 minutes.

Okay this question is more for white people. Why are so many white people having kids with other races? Don't you see that you may become a minority in the near future? Everyone will lose a sense of cultural identity. But white people will be affected the most. For example: if a black and white couple have kids, their kids won't ever look white. They will look black and they will be at conflict with their parents over which race to choose. I know this mixed girl who is half white, half black and she doesnt even acknowledge that shes half white.
