    Whew it's hot out here! Summer Mini-Rants

    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...

    Whew it's hot out here! Summer Mini-Rants

    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...

    Whew it's hot out here! Summer Mini-Rants

    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...

    Whew it's hot out here! Summer Mini-Rants

    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.)

    Whew it's hot out here! Summer Mini-Rants

    We discussed cancer treatments. She doesn't believe that chemotherapy and our modern medical treatments for cancer are helpful. They are...'toxic'. So, I think she would eat some sprouts and sunbath instead of getting chemo. For reasons that I've never understood those things are all...

    Whew it's hot out here! Summer Mini-Rants

    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...

    do you find when in a work environment with men you work harder to prove your worth?

    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...

    Do you agree that most people think being an author and writing a great novel is a...

    ...lot easier than it is? It seems to me that many people think it is an easy task to be an author and make a few million dollars. people on here are always asking questions about how good their stories are and asking people for ideas, do they think great authors just grow on trees!? i don't...

    how do i read a boring 500 page book in under 2 weeks?

    500 pages divided by 14 days = 36 so if you read 36 pages a day you'll get through it! just set yourself that goal and stick to it! that's less than 1 hour reading a day and if you do it first thing in the morning you can spend the rest of the day guilt free!
