So many. But I'll begin with "research". It's been replaced with a quick Google search, and only reading the first page of hits.

No. It's not the "new miracle". Everything in moderation. It holds true. There is no miracle here.

This thread still going? Wow. So much reaction, so little truth.

This is an event that has been instigated and arranged.

It's a long term, or short term question. Short term? Money. Long term? Love. Honestly, money is so transitory. You have it, you don't. And given money, people will trade it for all kinds of things: Jewelry, electronics, homes, cars, etc. Love? It only has a timeline if something goes...

People, it seems, have very little knowledge of the law. Free Speech is horribly misunderstood. Biting people isn't okay.

Avi is a nut. A crazy. I have no idea what he's thinking.

She's a provocateur, and as such has immense value. Of course, knee-jerk reactions will happen. But those who hate need to take a breath and truly think about what bothers them.

It's life. We all have choice to make. Some are programmed into us, some are circumstantial.

Firstly, thank you everyone. As one might expect, I have a rather unconventional response. I simply cannot prevent myself from analyzing every single detail, for looking behind words and opinions of family members for their desires, wishes, and ambitions. Motivations. My mother is still with...

My mother is in hospital. She is 91. I met with her consultant today, and the prognosis was "day by day but..." I don't think she's ever going to get out of the hospital. She was admitted with a blood oxygen level of 82, which is perilous. They have given her oxygen, and got it up to around...

This made me laugh, and it's time for a confession. Growing up in the 60's and 70's, the Soho area of London was very very seedy. In fact, it was in turns disgraceful and hilarious. It was an area rife with stores selling pornography, prostitute dens, and alcohol. Amsterdam, with its windows...
