    The law of attraction

    I'm not so sure God is to blame for much of what we go through. I got sucked in by charm and made some really bad choices because of it.

    The law of attraction

    I do not believe in the law of attraction. If it were true, then my husbands would have kept their vow to love me until death do we part. Instead, one accused me of being unfaithful and would not believe that our son was actually his and we divorced primarily because of that. One told me (the...

    King Charles' coronation

    I watched the ceremony itself but not the processions. I thought it was tasteful, and the only thing that concerned me was the "walls" that encased the king while he was supposedly anointed. Why would everything be public but not that, the most significant part of the ceremony as the head of the...

    Ceiling Fans

    I need light more than air. My ceiling fans have lights too, but not enough for my kitchen, so it's either cooler and dark or bright and stale. lol. I have a heat pump so it's cool in here without fans. I just like the air circulation and slight breeze.

    Ceiling Fans

    I have one in each of two bedrooms and the dining nook. I wish I could put one in the kitchen but my place is wired very strangely, with two lights in the kitchen about 3' apart, and no ceiling lights in the living room at all. If I put one in the kitchen, the other light will flash every time a...

    What smell brings back some type of memory?

    Ripe fruit and diesel. The smell of harvest. I can smell it when I go back to my hometown during the summer because it fills up the whole valley. Takes me back to working, playing, and living hard. In the orchards before dawn, work until it's too hot to take it anymore, go home and have a swim...

    I don't have to rescue it. It is up to the person, and I say good for them! After all, if no one challenged the status quo, then Jesus would never have put law into the perspective of grace and mercy, never have offered salvation to Gentiles, and everyone would be stuck in the ways of early...

    Well, Tango, to be fair, this is the ethics and debate board. For me, ethics dictate that the person has the right to self determination. It is in my personal ethics as well as my professional ethics. And I will debate that to the core. Yes, I am looking at the situation from all angles...

    Anxious attachment style

    If the person knows their attachment style and wants to do something about it, I'd suggest a therapy called EFIT - Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy - created by Sue Johnson. If the person doesn't know their attachment style and is not the type to work on self improvement it would depend on...

    I highly doubt the parents gave that choice to the child and they may not have even known about this incident until after the fact. I didn't read the article, but I assume the parents are the ones who decide what school their child attends. Did you let your children decide where they want to go...

    The person is a high school student. Is it really their choice what school they go to? Probably not.

    18-year-old nonbinary high school senior

    If a student transfers into a school let's say in grade 10 and is non-binary, uses female change rooms and washrooms, and then shows up in pants to a prom, there is NO ONE who can tell you what's in those pants OR up that skirt. Of course schools need rules, but telling them they can't wear...

    Except the student isn't female; they are non-binary.

    Why would anyone want to participate in a religion that judges some people and makes them feel unworthy of salvation or identification with their religion? If I hadn't had an intense love experience with Jesus apart from "the church", I would have chosen Zen. Seriously. They accept everyone and...

    Women wear suits all the time. Men wear suits all the time. Lawyers, managers and other business people, attending formal gatherings, politicians, etc. Does the code at the school explicitly say that girls must wear a dress to their prom? No? Then they should have been admitted. Personally I...

    After you lost a loved one,

    Initially it was the huge hole in my soul, like part of my very being was missing. That was the hardest adjustment, and then it was having to navigate life alone, just being alone and not being able to just pick up the phone to call, or to embrace, having someone to talk intimately with and...

    Unconditional love

    Unconditional love sets us up to fail. There is only one who loves unconditionally and that is God. As humans, we are created for love, but it is not unconditional. If it were, then any partner I ever had or will have, would be allowed to abuse, beat, neglect, not keep his word, or do whatever...

    Your neighbors

    Love my immediate neighbours. One is a young man, a bylaw enforcement officer, another is a young man who has a mental illness and is on disability but also works to top up his income, and one is a delivery guy who is middle aged, separated and recently had a heart attack. Great bunch of guys...

    Your life philosophy

    Love is always right. What love looks like in various situations is questionable.

    A better listener

    5.5 years of university that focuses on listening as a core practice of my profession. :) Listening is hard. We all know what it's like to read between the lines. I've been taught to "listen between the lines" and get a lot of clarification before I can even start to understand the other...
