    Time Capsule

    Let's see... This is me in 2016: I'm learning to swing dance. My 17 year old loves to take photos of me and make them more interesting. My business has been really taking off lately. I've been booked solid all this month. I've been completely obsessed with Hamilton lately...

    Pretentious

    This is good stuff! I'm taking notes on things to avoid ever doing, haha. I'm in the party entertainment business, so I see a whole lot of what you're talking about, Seoul and Sonflower. It actually kind of makes me sad. I believe that wealthy mothers have an enormous pressure to "fit in"...

    Pretentious

    I own a few pair of heels, and once in a while I'll want to wear them with an outfit that they match really well, but I can never seem to get out the door in them because I just feel very pretentious in heels. What sorts of things do you find pretentious pertaining to yourself or to others...

    The Hair Thread

    Okay, I tried to find a few pictures of myself where I hadn't actually "fixed" my hair, to give a true idea of what it looks like naturally. Does longer hair "age" me? Look frumpy? Unkempt? Am I overthinking this? Hahahaha. (Good idea about cutting it off 4 inches at a time, btw...

    The Hair Thread

    And now for the most trivial of all forum posts... I'm thinking about cutting my hair. I'm pushing 40 and wondering if I shouldn't tone it down a bit. :rolleyes: Also, sometimes long hair looks kinda scraggly, and I'd hate to be that one weird woman with unkempt hippie hair. For...

    You'd rather knot get tied up in this thread

    My mother inflicted the girl mullet on me. I still have bitter feelings about it. :p I finally became old enough to absolutely refuse. (No, this isn't me, but it's close enough to make me feel sad.)

    Levels of Emotional Intimacy

    This visual represents levels of emotional intimacy that people have with others (specifically opposite-sex) via conversation. I found it very interesting because I know some people who will jump right into the center without delay, and others who never seem to get past the first ring with...

    Halloween, show me your creativity!

    I organize our church's harvest festival every year, so I try to dress up if I can. Sometimes hard since I'm running around all crazy most of the night. Last year I was a dinosaur. :rolleyes: This is my sexy pose... :cool:

    If you were a dessert/sweet what one would you be and why?

    This is a very important question about life, so naturally I took an internet quiz to find the answer. https://www.buzzfeed.com/joannaborns/what-dessert-matches-your-personality?utm_term=.laj1W2j17M#.urOJab9Jrk What Dessert Matches Your Personality...

    RELAX!

    So, I have a lot of trouble relaxing around people. There are theories for this. Gypsy would say that it is because I'm an extrovert and I'm so in-tune with other people. I myself would have said that it was because I'm an introvert and being in the midst of people is not my "comfort zone"...

    Disturbing

    Someone on Facebook just shared a close-up photo of a snake eating baby birds out of a nest in their carport, and I am all freaked out now. Hate. Snakes.

    Could You See Yourself Living in a Tiny House?

    I would love living in a SMALL house, but a "tiny house" may be a bit too extreme for me. When we moved 4 years ago from a 2500 sq ft home into an 800 sq ft home, I was pleasantly surprised by how cozy and efficient it was. I got rid of tons of junk I didn't need, and had more than enough...

    Oh man... you have no idea. (Or... maybe you DO.) Hmmmmm. Nevermind kodiak. You are off the hook. :rolleyes:

    What is a "True Christian"?

    So much has been said in the last week about "true Christians" that I think we would benefit from really stopping and considering what this means. Common statements here and elsewhere seem to be: "A true Christian would never do that." "This person must not really be a Christian." "That is not...

    Struggle with finding the right (anyone actually) one.

    Yeesh, that was really harsh of her. You may have dodged a bullet with that one. How did she know you weren't calling her to ask what time the small group meeting at church started? Unfortunately, we live in such a media and digital age now that a lot of people need warning before being...

    Love & Respect

    I mentioned in another thread that I'd read a survey revealing that 3 out of 4 men would rather feel unloved and alone than feel disrespected and inadequate. Most of us probably already knew that a woman's top need in a relationship is to feel loved, while a man's top need is to feel respected...

    "Ministry"

    This article is SATIRE, however... it hits a little close to home if you ask me. What are your thoughts on the Church's new habit of calling everyday activities that all Christians are called to do "ministries"? Are there good things about doing this? Can you think of examples of regular...
