Acts of kindness and God question

confidentrealm comments on May 25, 2018:

I agree. Kindness is a choice. Not something from "GOD". We all have positive and negative feelings, actions, etc. nothing is good or evil it is just human. We choose. We do not have to be guided but it is a good thing for parents to teach their children civility and ethics without teaching them it is from any other source than themselves.

How do you feel when someone gives you sympathy?

confidentrealm comments on May 27, 2018:

Bless your heart... I think it means Fuck you in Texan. I hear it all the time. Another one I hate is "I'll pray for you." Yuck. Don't bother. Waste of time.

I am frequently asked if I 'know' or have 'found' god or Jesus.

I've got better things to do than look.

What are you most looking for in a relationship? Just your 1 Thing

confidentrealm comments on Jun 10, 2018:

Moral support and encouragement. Someone who is there when I wake up in the morning, drinking coffee together and planning the next adventure with me, not telling me what great things they are going to do, what do I have planned, etc. I just want to be part of the partnership.

Last social media date

confidentrealm comments on Jun 15, 2018:

I met a fellow on Craigslist about three years ago. I went out with him a couple of times and we became facebook friends but nothing became of the relationship then. A few weeks ago we reconnected. I'm wondering if it will be better the second time around.

Do you keep your emotions and feelings to yourself ? Or do you allow others in ?

confidentrealm comments on Jun 19, 2018:

I try really hard to keep it to myself but lately I can't like I used to.

Do you buy bottled water? I have hot and cold running water at home, why do I need all that plastic?

confidentrealm comments on Jun 28, 2018:

Absolutely not. I love sparkling water in a can. I hate plastic too and recycle. I know it isn't good either but who knows what comes out of the tap? Maybe this shot came out of the tap.

Absolutely. How else do you explain people born with a silver spoon?

Is it possible to be a "closet introvert?

confidentrealm comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Nobody would ever know how much of an introvert I am because as an artist, I have to put on my public face and go out there and sell. No.matter how difficult it is, if I want to live as an artist I have to do this. But as with most artists, I would be happy painting by myself and have an agent sell my work.

I bout signed off on FB.

confidentrealm comments on Jul 8, 2018:

I feel the same way about facebook. I do allot of business there but otherwise I'd love to tell all the prayer warriors goodbye.

What’s the worst break up you’ve had?

confidentrealm comments on Aug 31, 2018:

I was in an on again off again relationship for nine years and hated every bit of it but I was not strong and kept going back even though I knew it was bad. I finally decided to end it once and for all. He stalked me for over a year, I had to change my phone number several times, moved in with my daughter for safety. I had him arrested and got a protective order. I saw him sitting in a car outside my gallery one day about two years ago and I started shaking. I was alone and very frightened. He just stared at me for awhile and left. I'm still afraid of him. It's been ten years but I will never trust that man.

Pillow talk: ever discuss academic subjects?

confidentrealm comments on Aug 31, 2018:

While in your teens did you see your current age as old?

confidentrealm comments on Sep 11, 2018:

I didn't really give it any thought. I just remember not wanting to work in a factory ever but I did work there for a year. Long enough.

Would you pay someone to date you?

confidentrealm comments on Sep 12, 2018:

I just want the guy you describe with the sex too but I'm not paying him. I've been burned by so many men. I'm just so tired of all the disrespect, abuse and slackers. I'm much older than you with a current catalogue of health problems but there has to be someone for me. I'm just not going to look anymore. Let him come to me. I have a high enough self esteem to know I'm worth a good relationship. He'll be getting a prize.

How many of you live near national monuments or landmarks yet haven't visited them?

confidentrealm comments on Sep 16, 2018:

I went to the San Jacinto monument and the battleship Texas this summer. I hadn't been there before but not sure about other national monuments here. Most of ours are Texan, not American

What's the most amusing encounter you've had with a religious person?

confidentrealm comments on Sep 27, 2018:

I don't think I've ever found humor in religion. At least not that type of situation. I find more ignorance than anything

Is scientific knowledge limited in principle?

confidentrealm comments on Sep 27, 2018:

I agree I'm sure there are things humans will never understand. I like Dr. Seuss's take on all this comparing us to Who. Most people are just going around on their little speck of dust, not really caring about anything other than what is right in front of them. Until we evolve from that state, it seems difficult to make the evolutionary jump. I'm sure we will continue to learn but I doubt if we will ever become all knowing . We just have desire to do so. Especially when we have those who would destroy us

Does anyone truly "believe"?

confidentrealm comments on Sep 29, 2018:

I think y mom does. She's been religious all her life. She knows I'm atheist and is not OK about it but we still have a good relationship. She doesn't have anyone else and keeps praying for me. Then says she knows how I feel about it but she's going to do it anyways.

I just don't understand how people can stand being alone.

confidentrealm comments on Oct 4, 2018:

I've had the phobia.all my life. I hate being alone with a passion but I can't find a mate and I'm so tired of being turned down . I've been so rejected lately. It really hurts. Right now, I'm on vacation by myself. I'm so tired of waiting for Mr Right to come along. Maybe there is no Mr Right. Should I waste my whole life waiting? My answer is no. I'm getting older and debilitated. I have to live for me. It sucks but such is life.

Just wondering, about past experiences.

confidentrealm comments on Oct 11, 2018:

Yep. I always post, don't try to evangelize me. Still, they want to. It sucks. All I want is for someone to accept me as I am and someone to accept as he is. Seems I ask too much and get nothing.

confidentrealm comments on Dec 20, 2019:

Sounds like fun. I make mixed media collage and have found Elmer's glue and water as one of the best inexpensive adhesives but also craft glues for heavier pieces. I also like acrylic medium instead of varnish because it has UV protector and there are some great textured products that create cool surfaces for certain effects. Good luck.
