  • Birthday

    Today is my birthday.  I am 36 years old.  I am halfway to 72.

    Do you hate your birthdays or celebrate them?

                                                                            

  • Christmas

    In my last post, Steph said:

    “No, Christmas is hardly about Christ now anyway.”

    Do you think Christmas is no longer about Christ?

                                                        

  • Atheist, Agnostic and Christmas

    Add me to Facebook.  Here is the link:  Link

    This is part of a message I received from LarsThunder:

    “If you are an agnostic, atheist or do not believe in Christianity, does that mean you don’t take off the 25th of December? It would seem to me that if you don’t believe in Christianity, you shouldn’t participate in the “holidays” that they are known for. I am not talking about the Christmas/holiday season, but rather the one specific day, December 25th. If you are an agnostic, atheist or have a belief other than Christianity and take the 25th as a day off or holiday, then you are hypocritical of your beliefs.”

    Do you think it is hypocritical for an agnostic or atheist to take December 25th off?

                                                                                                                           

  • Attractiveness and Dating

    I added a Facebook on Friday.  Add me.  Here is the link:  Link

    I was reading an article by a woman that was discussing how women will often date men who are less attractive than them.

    Julia Allison

    She points out the couples on TV but appears to think this is the case in real life.  Here is the link:  Link  I am not sure but this might be a regional issue because I don’t see that much around here.

    She writes a statement at the end of the article:  “Still, it seems like men — attractive or not — have it easy in the dating department.”

    Do you think men have it easier in the dating department?

     

  • Gigging

    Add me to Facebook:  Link

    Here we go:

    Gigging:

    “The idea is to go out on a boat in shallow water at night.  Then you shine a spotlight into the water so you can see the fish.  Then, you have something called a ‘gig’ that looks like a giant fork on a long wooden pole.  Then you slam it into the water and hopefully into the fish.  You pin it down until it stops squirming and then you pull it up into the boat.”

    Is gigging redneck?

                                                                        

  • Christmas or Xmas?

    A Christian group is asking Christians to avoid shopping at stores that censor the word “Christmas.”

    Here is the link:  Link

    So it is that time of the year where we need to ask the question:

    Does it bother you when people use the abbreviation Xmas instead of Christmas?

                                                                                          

  • Flying Man

    Many of you have probably seen the “Flying Man.”  It is hard to tell if it is real. 

    I saw another example of it on nattata’s site. 

    Do you think it is real and would you want to try it?           

                                                                                               

  • Keeping the Baby a Secret

    Add me on Facebook.  Here is my Facebook:  Link

    A woman had a one-night stand with a man.

    pregnant

    She became pregnant.  She decided to keep the baby a secret from her family and the guy that got her pregnant.  An appeal court in the UK ruled that the woman could keep the baby a secret from the guy.  She is putting the child up for adoption but felt the husband wouldn’t be a long-term solution to provide care for the child.

    The court ruled the woman has “the ultimate veto” on whether the father knew of the baby.  Here is the link:  Link

    Do you think a woman should be able to give a child up for adoption without informing the father?

                                                                                                                         

  • Bimbo and Implants

    I started a Facebook today.  Add me as your friend if you want.  Here is the link:  Link

    Here we go:

    I just read an article “10 reasons that people think you’re a bimbo because you have breast implants.”

    Here is the link:  Link

    Do you tend to think a woman is a bimbo just because she has implants?

                                                                     

  • Facebook and Myspace

    I started my Facebook today.  I am hoping to get settled in here tonight.  If you would like to add me as a friend, here is my site:  Link

    I want to give my first impressions of Facebook.  I am always confused when using a new product.  I am not very technologically inclined so I have to slowly make my way through with the help of someone on IM.

    I have asked people what product they like better between Facebook or Myspace.

    But it feels different actually spending a few minutes on Facebook.  Maybe it is just because it is new but I like the feel of it.  I get the feeling that Facebook is a superior product to Myspace.

    Which do you feel has better features, Myspace or Facebook?
