@holdenc98 Oh I though it was about free conversation but maybe you only want sugary sweet stuff.

@Detached You need to have a child of your own to understand that. In your case it will probably never happen.

Mvtt comments on Mar 17, 2021:

Why out of all emotions, would you pick on love?

Jolanta replies on Mar 17, 2021:

@Detached So she said to you. I never, ever wants to see you.

These Religious Leaders Are Encouraging Their Congregations to Get Vaccinated | Hemant Mehta | ...

Triphid comments on Mar 17, 2021:

Hmmm, is IT because these so-called Leaders are really interested in the lives of their Followers OR, is it, perhance, a method to ensure that the Followers will continue to live, attend services and continue to drop money into the Collection Plates, etc, etc? Call me suspicious if you will, but I ...

Jolanta replies on Mar 17, 2021:

Oh, you are ever so suspicious.

anglophone comments on Mar 13, 2021:

I do not admit to my circle of friends anybody that fails to pass a basic sanity test. As a result, I do not deal with anti-vaxxers, QAnon members, incels, racists, sexists, right-wing nut jobs, sociopaths, misanthropes (which many of your "friends" appear to be), conspiracy theorists or God ...

Jolanta replies on Mar 13, 2021:

You will find that even amongst your friends there will be those who are the ones you do not want to associate with but still do.

Jolanta replies on Mar 11, 2021:

I have not blocked anyone, not one person that I can remember. I rather like to annoy them with my wisdom.

Christian Actor Says He’s Lost Roles and Money for Being Faithful to His Wife | Beth Stoneburner |...

dermot235 comments on Feb 22, 2021:

Why do some Christian's think that doing a sex scene or an intimate scene for an acting role means you are not remaining faithful to your partner. Are their relationships that fragile that this would be a problem for them. It's not like they are Actually having sex.

Jolanta replies on Feb 22, 2021:

He probably is afraid that he would 'loose' it and get carried away and would not be able to stop himself.

Secular Dating

Jolanta comments on Feb 12, 2021:

Yes, we all want someone who will have the same beliefs and values, but it is not always possible. Compromise and letting the other person be themselves is important. You looking at yourself is a great start. Take your time enjoy what you have now. No hurry. Take good care of yourself, ...

Jolanta replies on Feb 12, 2021:

@Normanbites Being alone IS far better than being with someone who is wrong for you. I have found that I am the happiest when I am not in an emotional relationship with anyone. Be happy.

How have you stopped a self-defeating behavior?

Jolanta comments on Feb 7, 2021:

So, how is it going? I used to have a problem with trying to be constantly strong but got over it after it almost killed me.

Jolanta replies on Feb 7, 2021:

@LiterateHiker One has to acknowledge that one has a problem to be able to deal with it first before anything else. That is a big step forward. You would freak out if you came to my home. I am a hoarder but trying to change that. It's going so, so. Take care.

Some Southern Baptist pastors are calling Kamala Harris 'Jezebel.' What do they mean?

Heavykevy1985 comments on Jan 31, 2021:

I am sorry but they are not threatened by the fact that Kamala is “so intelligent.” Truth be told, she is a balloonhead. She got absolutely curb-stomped by Tulsi Gabbard in the Democratic debates. When asked by Colbert about her previous comments about Joe Biden accusers or his racist comments,...

Wow, you certainly don’t like her. Are you a Republican voter, I wonder?
