I'm almost always a few minutes late for church. How late is too late?

Should I just skip it if I can't make it on time? Is it distracting to you and does it affect your worship if I come in a few minutes late? I have to take two little children and two disabled seniors, so that is why we are often late to church.

you are interested at the time and say you will, but then later decide that you don't want to go....do you have to feel bad about it?

Is it okay to just not show up?

A Muslim colleague - who I do not know at all - sent out a global email wishing everyone a Happy Eid. This colleague is supposed to be our "diversity advisor" but this didn't stop him imposing religious greetings on little old me - who doesn't believe in any religious claptrap, nor in ghosts, magic, or the tooth fairy.

I propose to POLITELY tell him to keep desist from sending me any religious salutations (of any kind).

Do you think this is reasonable? Should I desist? Am I likely to find a dead horse on my desk, or something?

When I first moved in to the neighborhood my neighbor was SO nice.She knew we homeschooled, and honestly,it was a non-issue.She and I would have our kids play together,she'd come over a lot,you get the idea.About a month ago, I took my oldest daughter(5) out to eat at a fast-food place and neighbor lady was there, along with 3-4 other neighborhood mothers.They waved me over, so we sat with them and my daughter played.Neighbor brought up HS to the other moms, and started yapping about how it's just "her opinion, but kids learn SO much more in Pub. school, because I can't give them what a teacher can-Other moms joined in with how bad homeschool was,and why would I do that?At this point I felt very attacked, informed the mothers that our reasons were numerous, but there was also a TON of evidence to suggest that Homeschool has some amazing benefits over PS& they could research that. I then left
Now, neighbor-lady won't wave hi or come over any more. I was hoping to develop a friendship...

What do you really want them to get you. Remember this question isn't to make you look good. Just be honest. What do you really want from them. Something that would make you smile, and know they appriciated you.

I'm 45 business woman and I work as H.R. manager in a big multinational company.
Some months ago, during a big convention in an exotic location, far away fro any hospital,I had to suffer terribly because of kidney stones.
After hours of excruciating pain and nobody who could help me, in spite of all my efforts, I didn't manage to fight back the tears and I started silently crying in front of many of my colleagues.
I felt very embarassed...
What do you think?
How old were you last time that physical pain made you cry?

Our old maid had to go, she used to leave the gas knobs on all the time.
Now we have this sexy 19 yo maid that was the Watermelon Fest Queen back in her 3rd world country.
Is it proper etiquette to dress her in a tight shirt and a miniskirt?
Just to enhance her figure, you know.

like when you ask a question sometimes people only bring out negative things out of it making you sound like a complete horrible person when they dont really know you & when the question has nothing to do with the subject they're talking about. does anyone understand what i mean?i mean sometimes i feel people just find me to be this snob when its not even the case or the way they think it is & its just annoying.

i live in california. i went to sedona for the first time. my boy was the ring bearer. my friend now lives half an hour from there. she said she will drive out to see me and what day is good? i felt too polite to say not at all.
we arrived friday, the rehearsal was that night. saturday morning was free and i'd hoped to see the town at least. nap time is noon (he's three), and the wedding was at four. we left sunday morning. i spent my free hours saturday sitting in my motel room with my friend and her four year old twins. (three monkey's jumping on the bed). it was 10:30 am and too late to get out. i urged her along because we had to prepare for the wedding. no big deal. two weeks later she came to my town. she notified me and told me where she was staying. i told her i'd keep friday free and what did she have in mind. she said well, i told three other friends that i was in town and i'll wait to hear from them. wow.

when suddenly someone begins to get sick due to the extreme height. He begins to heave up huge quantities of vile smelling vomit on the floor, which causes others to gag and puke also. Do you:
(A) take off your jacket and cover the puddle of vile puke, hoping to muffle the horrid smell until the tram reaches the other side
(B) push your way into a corner and cover your mouth and nose with your sock
(C) get sick and hurl along with the others
(D) kick out a window and jump to your death
(E) kick out a window and toss the sickos through it to THEIR deaths

The other day, my friend said that you can't wear anything with the color red at school, or at least my school. Not only does this puzzle me because the rule seems a little bizarre (if it's true, I am sure there is some stupid justification), but also because I have worn various red T-shirts before and have never gotten in trouble with dress code. Is this rule true or was my friend lying? If it is true, then explain the fact that I wear shirts with the color red on them all the time and I don't get in trouble?

About Half an hour ago my sister hit the side of my head with a wooden pole really really hard. When she did this, it left a bad cut right next to my eye, and halfway obliterated my glasses. On Monday, I am going to have to wear an eyepatch over my damaged eye, and tape all over my glasses, because my new glasses won't come for over two weeks.
How do I cope with this humiliation??? I cant stay home, because my parents woudn't take "If I go to school on monday, I will die of humiliation!" as an excuse
P.S. My sister didn't even get in trouble at all for what she did. I know that totally sucks.

I am 30, he is 47. We are really attracted to each other but he wants me to do most of the calling, and when I don't call after a few days, he wonder's why. I don't want to chase a man around. Isn't it supposed to work the opposite way? He is an excellent kisser (very rare these days!) but I don't know how much longer I can do things this way.
