Where Would They Live if They Could Live Anywhere?

I am late in writing about where I would live, I know, but I still feel compelled to write about it at this moment. We all have dreams of where we would live if we could, but I cannot help thinking about the first time I volunteered at a homeless shelter as a kid. Where would they live if they could? See, the thing is, though, that I went into the place with my church... (posted by Ingrid 142 days 6 hours ago.)

Fathers, Teach Your Daughters what Love is or Else!

You know what? I’m angry. I’m angry with parents out there… fathers in particular, but mothers, too. I am angry that fathers teach little girls how they should be treated by significant others, and so many of them are teaching these little girls that they aren’t worthy of love. I am irate at the number of girls, who turn into women, who accept... (posted by Ingrid 148 days ago.)

How I Terrified Myself out of a Depression

I tried to keep it a secret for a while, but I finally couldn’t anymore. I have been going through hell on earth for the past couple of years. It seemed as though every time I would pull myself out of something, another thing would rear its ugly head. Determined to fix it, I challenged myself publically to do standup comedy. Illnesses seemed to plague everyone around me... (posted by Ingrid 155 days 4 hours ago.)

I Hate Thinking of 9/11

Before 9/11, I was so naive. For some reason, I thought that everyone in the world loved America... the land of opportunity. Oh, what I wouldn't do to go back to that feeling. The feeling of safety... of wholeness as a country. The morning of 9/11, I was at work. My boss came in that morning and told me that a plane had just ran into one of the Twin Towers. Honestly, I pictured something like in the... (posted by Ingrid 157 days 14 hours ago.)

Everyone is Christian in Texas because It's So Hot...

Now, I grew up off-an-on in the great state of Texas. I remember it being so hot in the summer time that we would run the water hose in the yard, but the water that came out was actually hot. Yeah, that’s right… it was so hot in Texas that we didn’t have COLD water ! So, when my parents split, my mom moved to Georgia, and my dad stayed in Texas for...

I Grieve Wrong

It is no secret that I feel too much. I have always been that way. I would absolutely love to make it stop, but no matter how hard I try, I cannot. As a result, I have been told that I essentially grieve wrong. Now, how is it possible to grieve wrong? I really did not know that you could until it was brought to my attention. Someone informed me, once, that I feel too sad when a person passes away. This... (posted by Ingrid 168 days 6 hours ago.)

How to Be Funny

Now, I am no authority on being funny, myself. However, I am very good at pinpointing that which is and is not funny. In an attempt to learn to be funny, myself, I Googled, “How to be funny.” This was an exercise in futility. Not Funny The first thing I read was talking about Tom and Jerry. Tom and Jerry are not funny. Period. So, we'll move on from there... Another one said to say something... (posted by Ingrid 169 days 5 hours ago.)

I Wonder...

I wonder if you miss me I wonder if you think of me Does a song come on the radio Or a certain time of year A scent or a phrase A memory drift across your mind I wonder if you miss me I wonder if you think of me I’m not sure if I do of you It’s so fleeting when it does That it isn’t worth remembering There is no point after all For you are gone You will never be here...
