Should one bring/send flowers on a first date?

AnneWimsey comments on Sep 17, 2018:

A lovely thought....a nice (not too large!) bunch from the supermarket will set you back around $8, and you will have the pleasure of seeing her delight. Sending flowers will set you back $50 or more, and seems excessive in many ways.....

AnneWimsey comments on Sep 17, 2018:

1.They cannot sue you for "not praying"....just ridiculous! 2. You could offer to do something productive, like mow their lawn, care for their pets, clean their house, shop, etc etc instead of useless "praying", SO much more helpful! 3. To make a good analogy, IMO, it needs to be more close to actuality........

Ohferpetessake...i was around before the polio vaccine was available, and I remember the canceled outings & the fear on our parent's faces every time there was a surge in cases. I remember being "treated" to public service movies in school after Thursday lunch, showing you how living in an iron lung could be just peachy. (You can still find that onYoutube, just search for "iron lung"). I remember my aunt talking about surviving whooping cough. I remember my uncle talking about the ills that killed mote men than battle in WW I. Anything that can quell infectious diseases is a wonderful thing!

We hear news of thousands of women being raped, but we never hear the news of a man being raped.

Happiness in inside you, your outlook, response to stress, general attitude.

Compared to believers in this world, the number of Atheists and agnostics are way too small.

AnneWimsey comments on Sep 11, 2018:

Believers enjoy, deeply, the sense of community/belonging and ever-present support they get from believing a powerful one is there for them 24/7/365. Atheists make a grave mistake thinking "just show them the facts & they will change"

How long do you stay married in a sexless relationship???

AnneWimsey comments on Sep 11, 2018:

27 years after no sex, 33 years total. I thought we loved deeply, just no sex....wrong again! Taking care of my needs myself, because of things in my history, was perfectly fine....but then he (who insisted on the no sex, not me) cheated. A lot. Now I get a nice alimony check every week for the rest of my life, and enjoy life tremendously

I find it difficult to use phrases like, "I do not believe in God" or "I am an atheist". Why?

AnneWimsey comments on Sep 10, 2018:
