My husband thinks this may be the case, I think she's the type of person who becomes really excited about things. It's like a person who is 'saved' who then becomes more militant than many people who have been Christians their whole life. Maybe I should create a 'having a breakdown over my...

That thought process is so...offensive. :( I'm sorry he did that. ...my sister has similar views. We're 'destined'. It's all fate, and we're supposed to learn from it or we're only suffering because of bad things we did in a past life. That means a child born in poverty, who dies at the...

Hmmm... she does believe in 'living in the present' - she gave me 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle for Christmas - I wonder if that's related? The retreats she attends are all raw-food related. (As I understand) You do a lot of meditation and only live on liquids for a few days. And talk...

My husband agrees with you on this! Yes - her response has been to ignore the email entirely. The situation is rather frustrating as this is not a random wacko on a message board, but a family member. The crazy is rather new (or I am just now learning of the depth of the crazy.)

Yikes, LavenderBlue. You may have run into my sister. Two weeks ago we almost had an all out brawl during our family's camping trip. She believes all health issues are caused by toxins. She explained to me that Autism is on the rise because there are 'toxins in our vaccines'. I tried to...

i presume nouveau is french for something, i am looking at jewelery online and a lot of pieces say this.

do you think i should read the books first or just watch the show?

it depends what you mean by interested. women were reading and writing before the 19th century and had basic education but were not allowed to go further. it also depends on if you are just talking about america, in other countries women were far more educated. but even with those specifications...

i cannot believe how horrible all this is. i can imagine how hurt you are and i know i personally would not have the self control to have behaved so calmly and admirably after knowing these things. i understand you don't want to upset your brother before the wedding but i think you need to...

I'm not sure if it's because I went to an all girls high school or lots of women are like this but now that i am at uni i cannot help competing with guys. i don't mind if someone is smarter than me, comes up with better ideas than me or anything like that, but i find myself competing with guys...
