I’m confused about my beliefs on afterlife.
Jolanta comments on Dec 20, 2019:
There is so much going on in life all the time so whether there is an afterlife is completely irrelevant. Just enjoy what you have here now because you be a long time dead.
I don't know if this has been posted in here somewhere.
Jolanta comments on Dec 19, 2019:
I just signed and put it on facebook. This is preposterous to do this.
I am bemused that people would talk so much about religion, mostly Christianity, on here.
Jolanta comments on Dec 19, 2019:
Well, some people who have been living most of their lives in suffocating religious communities need this outlet, especially ones from the US. So it is good for them to have this. Some places in the US they would be one of the very few people who no longer go to church and it can be very frightening and intimidating. We need to be there for them.

Jolanta comments on Dec 18, 2019:
You listen far too much to what your brother in law is saying. As soon as he opens his mouth you need to start thinking of what's for dinner, have you picket up the dry cleaning yet, do the kids need to go back to the dentist, etc, etc.

Fabulous.
What are your thoughts on home schooling?
Jolanta comments on Dec 18, 2019:
I know of several children that were home schooled. They did very well in the world, but then this happened in Australia. None of them came from religious families. Most went on to university. And all of them were very nice human beings too.

Jolanta comments on Dec 17, 2019:
I always have been a square peg in a round hole. When my children were small (pre teen and teen) they used to say to me "why can you not be "normal" like other mothers", and now they are proud of the person I am.

Why are so many Americans so paranoid of socialism?
Jolanta comments on Dec 14, 2019:
I have lived in three different countries, Poland when it was communist, Sweden being social democratic and Australia with it's now right wing happy clappy government. The best one is SWEDEN. Americans are paranoid of socialism because they have been brainwashed by the media. They do not understand that there is a huge difference between socialism and communism.
It's Saturday where I am. Should I say "Shabbat Shalom?
Jolanta comments on Dec 14, 2019:
I am not Jewish, but curious about it all. What I understand of Shabbat is no so much different from going to church on Sundays and resting/thinking of god and his works. All nonsense to me.

Good afternoon everyone! Been a stressful day.
Jolanta comments on Dec 13, 2019:
Yeah, moving is stressful. I am at the moment de cluttering. It is a huge task as I must confess to having huge tendencies towards hoarding. It think I am cured of it but not that sure. After 25 years in one and the same house it is a huge task, but I am doing fine. Every day something is gone.

Is trying to meet women on dating sites a bad idea while separated but not yet divorced?
Jolanta comments on Dec 13, 2019:
How about you first learn how to live with yourself, how about you figure out what went wrong, what part did you play in all that, before you venture out on the prowl.
The other night I was at a club where people go to dance to the blues.
Jolanta comments on Dec 13, 2019:
So he is your dance partner and nothing else. If you are there to dance then dance. Most men say some truly stupid things and so do women sometimes. Sounds to me like he was just doing some kind on machismo there. You have a big opportunity to teach him some things.
So, I had a long day so far, doing lots of shopping of all sorts.

Just for kicks and giggles, I signed up for Temptingflirting.
Jolanta comments on Dec 13, 2019:
A bit of advise to you. If you truly are looking for a life companion and your kids always will come first I can guarantee that you will fail. Kids should not come first, a partner should. Kids should come a close second to your partner, always, whether that partner is the parent of those kids or not.
Happy Friday! I have no kids this weekend so I'm going to try to get Christmas stuff done.
Jolanta comments on Dec 13, 2019:
When your children are with you, the motivation comes from the stress having the kids and needing to get stuff done.
there seems to me to be way to much animosity towards religion.
Jolanta comments on Dec 13, 2019:
I think so many people here, especially from the US has been so hurt by religion that they are now lashing out. But if they were thinking rationally it is not the religion that is the problem but the people who are part of the religion.

What does Christmas mean to you?
Jolanta comments on Dec 12, 2019:
Christmas to me means chaos in the shops, when I need to go and buy milk or bread and all those people jostling about buying way too much food, just as if suddenly at Christmas they are going to eat more than any other day of the year. It is the screaming kids with parents who will not parent I hate the noise and some of the Christmas music gets on my nerves occasionally, after hearing the same tune for the, I don't know 20th - 30th time, I want to puke. It means having to arrange a get together with my family which I do enjoy even though a lot of times we have a tiff amongst each other which after wards we all laugh about. I love Christmas decorations but have so many in boxes and most of the time cannot be bothered putting them up, after all we usually spend Christmas not at my place. Where I live Christmas is a hot affair, it may be up to 40C (104F) or more and all we want is a nice shower but of course it doesn't happen. The so called religious aspect of Christmas doens't bother me one bit, where I live most people don't care for it at all, not like the US where one has to be careful of what one's says about Christ.

Just imagine how peoples lives would change, they now had to do something else than run of to the mall, like cleaning the house, reading a book, interacting with their family, visiting their friends, etc. Oh yeah and there should not be any TV being transmitted either. 24 hours, no shopping, no TV, no computer transmission.
