This morning, Lucy Chihuahua brought me a dead mouse.

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 15, 2018:

My little mix Pointed...yes, full hunting-dog point, the kitchen cabinet, making me aware that a mouse was attempting to move in. Would not stop despite me holding the door so he could go outside, his favorite thing. Totally focused!

Starbucks, has the recent controversy changed your mind about the company?

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 15, 2018:

Now what, they changed the color of the cups? It's Coffee, and they pay well, who cares! One site is Not the corporation for Pete's sake. But of course there are no Real problems to worry about right?

It seems that most outspoken anti-choice ("pro-life") people are in a religious community.

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 15, 2018:

My belief that it's Your body and others should Butt Out is not rooted in any philosophy, just common sense/decency.

Something here caught my eye recently and thisvis why this post.

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 15, 2018:

Thank you for your post! I keep telling guys my age, it's no big deal! On the other hand, I like a 50-50 Or 100-100 outcome...what do guys with ED like women to do?

If there is some kind of Gawd, I will be immensely pleased because after I yell, scream, and swear at "it", I will be able to kick the shit out of "it" & stomp off! Stupid mother%$#&÷@$!

Do we need religion to prevent suicide?

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 14, 2018:

To me, if you truly believe in a marvelous Heaven you should hurry up the process of getting there, except Gawd told you not to.........ooopsy!

I had Just bought my new to me RV, lifted up a jar of very soupy salsa,the lid failed, the full jar bounced off the counter & onto the floor...after 6 years, I still occasionally find a bit of dried salsa.

Is it ever reasonable for a healthy but unhappy adult to commit suicide?

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 13, 2018:

I had a stroke at 38 and was very happy there were guns in my house..I found them a source of comfort as an escape if I saw no improvement in my physical condition. Luckily, I am a tough bitch. I do believe you can be in severe pain from thoughts as well, but I also believe that time is a great healer, and many have a mentality of either/or, especially if in any kind of pain....this may lead them to unnecessary actions. I also believe one should have total control of one's body..........no blanket statements here.

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 13, 2018:

Testing has saved countless lives. I do agree the professional ordering the testing should not have a financial stake in the cost of the test, of course, that just makes total sense. But a blood test or urinalysis, even Cray, for example, is pretty small potatoes and may save your life! Not to mention the toll dealing with far-advanced disease.

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 13, 2018:

I like Heifer International. You get to pick the livestock you send A goat? Chickens? Rabbits? An entire water buffalo? A Lot of fun! Plus the recipients pass along the offspring to another family so it is the gift that keeps on giving. They also have a very high rating of service versus management

Oh, and if you think lying and sneaking will somehow change you for the better, even if the crap never hits the fan, you are delusional. Be honest always

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 13, 2018:

I do indeed! It ever comes up, except once in a while in passing. When I first came on here, I was gobsmacked by all the questions about "how do I announce...my atheism" What? It's Nobody's business, and IMO nobody wants to hear it, and Why would you make such a big deal about such a private thing? Unless to a " missionary" of some kind trespassing on your porch, I suppose. I did come to understand, however, if you sadly live/work in a Babble Belt area that it can be a scary big deal...but again, why not keep yourself to yourself?

Thank you for all who had commented on the last post, I appreciate the advice.

You should reference that post, otherwise the people you are thanking will not be likely to see your thanks

Back to your question! It has only been a week! You just got to this city which means you are Really a stranger! Pressuring her to meet you is most likely scaring her...lighten up!

When is it time to give up and move on?

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 11, 2018:

When the pain outweighs the pleasure. When I am so upset but trying to ignore it that I find myself yelling at my 11 lb dogs for...nothing. When I start to feel used, like his Mom, or maybe therapist. When all 'our' time, even apart, is spent worrying about his feelings. And so I dumped the man who made the happiest I have EVER felt in my life......and cried til my face swelled up (Not attractive!!) And know in my soul I did the right thing for me!

Does it matter how a gift is wrapped or is it only the gift that matters?

How to possibly tell your parents that you do not follow there religious beliefs?

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 11, 2018:

Why bring it up at all? If they choose to think you are confused, they obviously don't wish to try and argue you "out of it". You have not been asked to convert them either. Mutual respect & keeping your mouth shut will go a long way here...atheists are Not mormon missionaries!

When religion is more important then education?

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 10, 2018:

When I was going through grade school, I believe there was widespread agreement on what constitutes a good education. And I feel, increasingly, that I did get an excellent education although in a rural area. Relligion was Nowhere to be found except when in 1953 they added "under gawd" to the Pledge of Allegiance, and I distinctly remember many adults being greatly upsey by it. It was the McCarthy witchhunt era. One of the things we got, at every grade level, was a firm understanding of Why separation of church & state was so important....yet here came Gawd (whose gawd?) into the classroom!

Does anyone else question themselves?

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 10, 2018:

I did a lot in my young years...then I got busy with trying to keep hubby #1 from killing me, and a baby, and working 3 jobs after the divorce, and practical considerations became paramount. Now I feel I do know right from wrong and can trust myself to act accordingly, mostly.
