    Astrology...evil? Gotta be kidding me...

    i think astrology was created eons ago to make sense of the night sky above. coming from mythological philosophers & observers, that was most likely the only rational explanation for the 'heavens' above. as one poster mentioned, the positioning of the stars and celestial bodies have shifted from...

    Laid off from work

    personal assistant

    my boss love dolce & gabbana and he treats his assistants and the receptionist exactly the way it's described in the book. gives them utterly impossible tasks and yells at them for not being able to do it. like making the sun set at noon or something. i like to say the devil wears dolce &...

    Do you surf?

    i haven't gone in over a year! lol. i'm not very good... i have my good days and bad ones. i finally got out of white water, but haven't gone due to time constraints. i used to go to dockweiler, but it gets territorial there & too many people. orange county, near bolsa chica is great, but it's...

    Do you surf?

    i started surfing in 2005. began boogie boarding, though, to learn how to catch waves. you have to be a good swimmer. start off with a long board (anything 8 feet and longer). it's much easier to stand up, balance and catch waves, although maneuverability (like carving) is limited. also, if...

    Pain Pill Addiction

    normally, abusers take drugs for their side effects. you're taking pain medication for the pain, not for the whoopy feeling you get (the high) because of them... however, i would still consult with your physician and explain your concerns. also, may i suggest that you do some research on the...

    Pain Pill Addiction

    lol. i'm not sure if scientist actually did find and prove it but that would be most interesting! although many behavioral psychologists also theorize that addictive personalities stem from early infant learning conditions. i can't remember which theorist it was (jean piaget, eric erickson...

    Remember 90's alternative rock?

    love all the bands/singers mentioned thus far. my favorite was depeche mode and camoflage. i have a funny story: back in my final year in college, i used to work in a store that played satellite radio and every other song was a remake of an 80s or 90s song. recognizing the beat & tempo...

    Pain Pill Addiction

    pain killers are highly addictive, especially vicodine/codine & tylenol 3, etc... it really does depend on the user though. most addicts abuse them for their side effects. those who use them for their purpose do not like using them because of their side effects. also addiction may be physical...

    why modern christianity is almost totally wrong.

    I love how the Bible is spot on in all aspects of life and can be used as a reference for any time period and place. humans have been sinning against God since our existence and you're right, one day, the Judge will come and some will enter through narrow gates and others will not. The list (and...

    should i be worried?

    lol. thank you gardener101. i should have been a bit more descriptive with what crossed my mind... however, i was thinking more along the lines of him 'reconsidering the relationship.' since this is an unusual bump in the course of our relationship, i cannot help but think that he needs time...

    Cheating boyfriend

    the Lord wants us to be loved and cared for by our significant others. He sees us a precious and you should not settle for anything less than that. Your boyfriend should see you the way God sees you. that way, everything will be clear (not confusing as your boyfriend says). okay, that's a given...
