Our local Muslims have been nothing be considerate and remarkably tolerant, preferring to forgive the person that vandalized their mosque rather than persecute. They have weekly 'community meals' in which all are welcome.

I always dreamed of buying an empty place of worship... and rededicating it. :) (And yes, living there, somewhere, because I'd have to to maintain it.)

There are a lot of potential reasons...

Just because a kid doesn't want to talk to you doesn't mean they have ADHD! It might mean you're stuffy and boring.

We have a lot of the same interests. :)

Even though I'm not Abrahamic, I'll answer anyways. ;) My temple is two hours away. We used to go monthly. Covid, of course, put a halt to all that. We didn't return for a few years. But then, life had changed, and it had nothing to do with Covid. There were less people available to...

Absolutely. If someone can stay 'afloat', there's no reason why they can't help those trying to find their way out of the water. It is harder for those who are swimming in circles and are unaware the shore is nearby, or for some reason or the other are unable to even perceive of the shore...

Nice to meet you!

If a person can pull off feeling good about everything, more power to them! Its a great way to live, and to be. But not all can. Not all have that kind of mastery over their brains and emotions. Some struggle with mental illness. Doesn't mean a person oughta throw in the towel and just be...

I would think chaos could hit at any time! (Though I'm glad it has not for you.)

I'd wondered what I did this time...

Who, me?

Its not uncommon for spiritual/religious people to set up some kind of practice for themselves. Perhaps it involves meditation, the reading of scripture, or prayer around some schedule (either a daily one, or a greater yearly one). But what of when your time is not yours? When chaos reigns...

I've had a counsellor on and off for 20 years. Why so long? I won't bore you with my life story, but I've had some difficult circumstances. It's been helpful, sometimes to just hear the voice of another adult who will talk. And your family is fortunate you're willing! My parents aren't too...

I'm living with a person with epilepsy right now. I never realized all the struggles that exist for someone with that condition...

I think there was a lot of focus on the negative, though its understandable why that would be. I had no change in my situation when Covid hit. I was already isolated(and hating it). I became a little bitter when all the sudden the world found themselves lonely, I was supposed to care. No one...

That's gross! Sorry to hear about the bedbugs. We've gotten them twice. Miserable critters...

Well, my husband sags his pants, but not generally that low. Its like he belts them right under his buttcheeks... He says he's always done it, always will. We witnessed a woman being kicked out of a gas station the other day for the 'nothing underneath' stunt... with a pair of shorts full of...

Sounds like our house all year round. :D This is the first year I haven't taken the fast... my mental health hasn't been great, and fasts have been setting off some disordered eating patterns for me. I figured I better get myself in a better place before attempting again.

Same.
