    Ignore This Thread

    Sorry @Lynx I know this is off topic but I'm curious of something. Is there any way to get someone to unfollow you? I was so disturbed the other day cuz a member with an EXTREMELY indecent profile pic started following me and although I reported him, it showed on my profile for hours till he was...

    Woe Is Me!!! How Can I Possibly Escape the MASSIVE HORDES of ALL THESE SUITORS??? (Or Other Persistent People!)

    Lol I guess I think I'm pretty old sometimes! But yeah I'm sure you're right. See as a teen I didn't have many admirers at all, esp compared to my sisters. So it's so interesting to me how things have changed. I was very sheltered and immature and narrow-minded as a teen so I'm pretty sure...

    Does "Pretty Privilege" Exist?

    I can't stress enough how true it is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And usually if someone is considered unattractive, I believe it mostly has to do with their attitude or lack of care for their body or attire. I had another friend that asked me straight up if I thought she's...

    Does "Pretty Privilege" Exist?

    Once when I was in my teens my coworker asked me, "If you chose your friends by how pretty they are, would I be one of them?" Lol I said yes but it was an awkward question! What if she hadn't been pretty?

    Why Are So Many People Gifted With Creativity That Will Never Pay the Bills?

    I think it's mostly our culture that hinders creative occupations from being something that really pays you. Think about it, before the industrial revolution and the factories that came with it, people relied on the dressmakers, tailors, all the "smiths", etc. Skills like that aren't necessary...

    Mennonite woman killed by Mark Gooch.

    This story is so so sad. I remember hearing about it soon after it happened cuz I hang out with Mennonite type people and things get around fast in those communities even without a TV. It's just so heartbreaking.

    How Much "Life Proof" Does Someone Need to Qualify as a Teacher? (When Is Someone Experienced Enough to Lead Others?)

    Hmm I think I'd have a hard time taking advice or instruction from someone who isn't practicing what they preach. Kinda like the Pharisees in Jesus' time who were hypocritical...but then Jesus did say "do what they say, not what they do". So maybe I should be humble enough to take a someone's...

    Our Education System

    I can say something from the cashier's point of view! I have done the same thing working at the register and it's so embarrassing! Usually it was when I was distracted or had a lot on my mind. Thankfully I knew how to open the cash drawer and was able to laughingly and apologetically give them...

    Being Content With What We Have -- Do You Regret Losing, Misplacing, or Throwing Certain Things Away?

    Similarly, I met most of my penpals thru a Christian girls' magazine:) (Does that mean I'm old too? LOL. I'll admit I'm old fashioned;) )I just about lived for mailtime in those days. It was always so fun to meet the penpals in person! Last summer I finally met one of them in person by...

    Being Content With What We Have -- Do You Regret Losing, Misplacing, or Throwing Certain Things Away?

    Oh that's so much fun, going thru old letters. As a teen and in my early twenties I had many penpals, and I can't bring myself to get rid of the letters. I like to think I hold things of this earth loosely, but I know there are some things I'm kinda attached to.

    What's For Dinner

    Well...no pic I guess! I forgot to take one before we dug into it. But my siblings gave it a ten, all except my little sister who gave it a nine cuz it has peppers in it lol! I used an easy pie crust recipe, and for the filling just used what I had: potatoes, carrots, celery, onions and...
