Yet it's so blatantly transparent, it's laughable. They'll go to the ends of the earth and back to get a rise out of a person. They'll take hot topics, they'll come back under different id's, they'll respond to everything you say in the most cognizantly challenged way possible all in the hopes of getting you upset. Just feel sorry for them and leave them to the Lord.

Awesome. This is a great set of scriptures on the dangers of being foolish.

Eating two dozen snails last night, the aftermath is such that if any other person was subjected to it, I would be placed on trial at the Hague for crimes against humanity. Definitely a good thing that if I decide to start raising snails for a sustainable protein that I will do so out in the woods, alone, and not subject anybody to more cruel and unusual punishment than necessary.

I have only ate snails once and that was many years ago in Paris. I enjoyed them they were very similar to what we call Whelks here which are a form of shell fish only snails are softer. I cant say that I would go out of my way to eat snails though.

Will someone please explain to me why the application form for a simple HSA has a bazillion questions about stocks, securities, investments, etc. I don't want to start an investment portfolio, I'm just trying to open this account because my employer will put free to me money in it. Why is this any more complicated than money goes in to special bank account, cinder spends that money to pay doctors, dentists, etc. whenever she goes?

Okay, so one of my facebook friends (I don't know her very well, personally anymore), just broke up with her boyfriend because he wouldn't let her take their BABY to an adult party. On top of that, she's being ridiculously dramatic about it.
It made me think about how most people now, deal with relationships. She has a kid with this guy, and she freaks out because she's not allowed to take the baby to a party. That's a child, who now has parents who aren't together, for a petty dispute that —from what I know of this girl— was blown WAY out of the water.
There are other relationships like this. One dispute, and everything is done. One problem and they fall apart. My generation doesn't put things back together again, they find a shiny, new toy.
I didn't grow up in a generation that fixes things, but I was taught by the generation that did.
Yes, I've been divorced, but that was not until after he did some things I couldn't help him fix. I couldn't do anything else, he had to do it himself, because I had done everything I knew how to do, and I had a baby to protect from his abuse. That's beside the point.
Because I got divorced, a lot of people believed I didn't know how to hold on to a relationship. Maybe I don't. But I've held on to the one I have now, and believe me, I've been through a lot in the two years I've been married. I've grown a lot. But mostly, I've fought with him. I've yelled at him, I've blown up about things that probably didn't need to be blown up about. The point is, I've broken and so has he, and we fix it.
Maybe it's because, my whole life, I've taken on responsibility for everything, even if it wasn't mine; and I was always taught to be responsible for my actions, my stewardships, etc. So any time something went wrong, I felt like, in some way, it was my fault and I had to do something to fix it. In a way, it is my responsibility. My relationships are something I need to take care of as best I can, so if it gets broken, I'm going to fix it.
Then you throw kids in the mix and it just gets more essential to make stuff work as best you can. I can't help but feel sorry for this girl's kids, because her oldest is 2, and has had 3 or 4 different men in her life. Her baby just had her parents break up because of a party.
If you seriously believe that in your relationships, there will never be fights, your heart will never break over something, you'll never have to worry again, you're never going to disagree, you're never going to feel like they've done something totally wrong; you will never have a lasting relationship.
One of the biggest things that let's me know for sure, that I'm who I belong with; is that when I have bad spirits, they ALWAYS make me mad at him. They're ALWAYS pointing out something wrong with him. My bad spirits hate him. That's how I know the devil doesn't want us together. If the devil doesn't want us together, then we must be dangerous to him, together. Whether I hate him at the moment, or not, I will always fix all that I can.
Sorry, long rant, but it was on my mind, so I'm saying it.

I almost fell asleep at work today. I was sitting waiting for one of the kid's to finish with the other teacher and I kept nodding off. I hate when I do that. It's so quiet this year we only 5 kids. I'm going to have start drinking Red Bull or something.

Does this look like a real website? I mean like a real store? I want to buy a fan and I found a great deal on one here but this website looks unique...I guess? I googled the address and it was a house. What do you guys think?

Cinder Im not sure why it is so complicated through your employer but dont give in....employer contributions/match through HSAs and 401Ks is the last free money!!! Our company has an HSA program with reps we can call with questions. Maybe yours does?

I have an HSA and was able to pay max out of pocket for sons surgery in one lump!!!!

Yeah it's worth it for the free money. Otherwise I probably wouldn't even bother looking into it. Kind of like buying a gift card, why limit where you can spend your own money?

I did a google search and couldn't find anything at all about that site. If it is legit, not many people are talking about it.

This brings up another good point... I typically look for places that accept PayPal, because to me, that's safer than giving the actual company my payment info.

Is that logical thinking, or no?

No b/c it's super easy to rip off a paypal graphic and put it on your website and copy the securelock logo as well.....

I would check it's alexa page rank/traffic detail/reviews to see if its legit....
