Relationship Questions
A Highly Recommended Book
I have not been feeling well, which is obligatory of what I am going through, and I know there are people who are happy about this. So, I have turned from Sugar to reading a LOT! But, when I do have something of interest for you I will post it for you as I care deeply about so many of you. I am not looking for sympathy or empathy of any nature. Far from it. Taking a break from Sugar has been situational. Therefore READING has been a serenity of sorts. Absorbing information which I wish I would have attained months ago.
A book advised for reading:
"The Moral Sense" by James Q. Wilson
Mark Twain once advised, "Always do right. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest." (you know how I love my quotes). The thought of astonishing people is certainly appealing, yet somehow we have to know what's right before we can do it. How do we know what's right? It's not easy, despite the fact that there's a vast field of study devoted to the topic which is described using terms like "Ethics," or "Moral Philosophy." However, countless philosophers writing shelves full of books over have hardly improved on the age-old cliche', "treat others as you want to be treated." Albert Schweitzer rephrased it this way: "A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives."
But why should we even be interested in opening the question? Why not just leave the discussion of ethics to theologians?
Despite the fact that religion and ethics are sometimes assumed to be interchangeable ideas, a standard of morality is important whether one believes in a higher power or not. It makes society work and establishes the basis by which human beings can relate to each other and to their environment safely and responsibly. If our ethical lines shift according to whim, others won't be able to anticipate our responses or predict our stance on any issue. We all have a strong desire to know where we "stand" in relation to others. Do they care about us? Do we care about them? How do we know whether our relationships can be relied upon?
The Road: A Bleak Journey That Will Haunt You
It's not that I was expecting a film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road to be happy sunshine — I just wasn't expecting it to seem so possible.
The apocalyptic tale takes place in a wasteland in the future after most humans are gone. It's desolate, the sky is a brownish-gray, and the land seems to be covered with ash.

Thing have been a little out of hands lately. Love is beautiful yet challenging. But Being in love AND don't feel the love in return?Who would you rather see Quinn with?
Quinn Fabray was never one of my favorite characters on Glee. We all got to know Quinn as a somewhat selfish, stuck up star of the Cheerios, and head of the celibacy club who only joined the Glee Club to keep an eye on her boyfriend Finn Hudson. When everyone at William McKinley High School found out Quinn’s secret of being pregnant a lot changed for her, and since then her walls have come down and we have gotten to see a more vulnerable side to her.
The one thing still bothering me about Quinn is her lying about the father of her baby. Which leads me to this question: Who should Quinn be with?
Finn Hudson: The Captain of the Football Team and star singer in Glee Club. It’s not just Finn’s good looks that get the ladies attention- it’s the fact that he has a sensitive side that everyone gets to see. He sticks up for his outcast friends in Glee Club, and he never wants to let anyone down. The downside to Finn is he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

Chances are that if you’ve been in a relationship, and you’re a woman, you’ve probably faked an orgasm. But did you know that men fake them too?
The research that brings us this important sexual discovery was conducted at the University of Kansas on 180 male and 101 female college students.
First Time Taking A Guy Home
I am currently in college and seeing a guy who just recently graduated. I have met his entire family and love them and last time we were together I mentioned that he should come home with me, which is a -long- drive home, and he was excited about and is even taking some time of work for it to happen next month. Questions-- His family is the complete opposite of my family..Boyfriend in Mexico...hasn't called for days.
So my boyfriend went to Mexico on a boys only trip for one of his best friends birthdays - who is getting a divorce, btw. He called once the day after he arrived for about five minutes, told me he was too lazy - or drunk haha- to get a phone card and that calling me cost a dollar a minute so he had to go. But he hasn't called since then.How soon is too soon?
Here we go... I live in Austin, TX and she lives in Kansas. Both of us have kiddos of our own.
