    I can see a person publish a hundred words on ML and then, having more to say, come here and make it a three hundred word discussion.   But it would be different, not cut and pasted.  Some times I’ll be on ML and post a few sentences, then a day later get inspired and think;  “I should have written this on LB and made it a real article…”   but…[Read more]

    • I watch the old episodes of this show either on TV or via Netflix. I can’t get enough Rod Serling. I grew up watching this show and I am so glad to be able to watch the series again!! Images in black and white. Just like how I remember them! 🙂

      • I watch them on 123movies.is. I try to limit my consumption so as not to overdose.

        • I know what you mean about overdosing. Sometimes when your Internet connection or the electricity goes out in your house and you were right in the middle of an episode, you feel like you’re having a KA-NIPSHIN!! 🙂

    This is a Walt Disney movie.   This is a movie for children.   It is a famous story we’ve all seen, heard, read.   One of the most well known Fairy Tales.

    • Excellent question in the end of your article “One wonders what is going on.” Over the past few years, it seems to me as if the Western media is constantly pushing stories and images of homosexuality in our homes through plays, books, movies, and news. No story seems to be complete without a homosexual character even where it is not needed in the plot or has got nothing to do with the story.

      • Exactly. Here is a story we all know… there is no Gay character in Beauty and the Beast, yet this one is jammed in and you are forced to keep it in… why? Why is homosexuality being forced on people?

    • I must agree that it being a movie that caters for children and their parents, that part should really be cut.

      Indeed it seems that homosexuality now is now being injected in movies. Good if it is to make people laugh, it will be okay and can be watched by children, since gays are people filled with humor.

      Actually, I haven’t seen that movie yet. Maybe because it’s the for children type of movie that’s why I am not interested, although I can watch that should I want to. I think the kid in me has already slept just waiting to be awakened.

      Though here in the Philippines the children are used to seeing gays in fact some of them are already gays at a young age.

      However, in your country where it is not yet openly accepted, it understandable that the said part be cut instead. That’s a good move of your government. I salute your government for doing that.

      • Malayasia went to cut it, and Disney refused. In Jamaica… I don’t think they’ll show the movie. We don’t need to see it.

    • LOL. If people could re-write the Bible they’d make the relationship between David and Jonathan homosexual. Believe me I’ve heard people try to argue that! So there’s a gay scene in the latest version of “Beauty and Beast”. Why am I not surprised?

    • And I am and my husband one of them. We both don’t say sorry when we realize our mistake. Although, we would hug to make up for the non-existent sorry.

      Yes, I would nag him and accuse him too when he didn’t answer my call. I would text him nagging words also.

      And when he arrives home, he would explain and show to me his phone – drained. I would feel ashamed of myself, but won’t say sorry. I would hug him instead.

      I think we understand each other when we are sorry because we both would hug instead of say the very difficult word sorry.

    • Funny, how he waited for your response. He is a bit of a paranoid. Imagine waiting for you when it is just a virtual place.

      WHen I am on a blogging site, I don’t actually expect to be responded at once because I know that we all have different time zones.

      But when my comment gets a response at once, I would really have a nice interaction with that person. We would comment on each other’s response until it gets too long and funny.

      • If we are going back and forth, i.e. messenger and I say, brb or I’m going out or whatever… to tell you I’m not there… fine. If I get an email, well it could have been sent yesterday.. I answer. Doesn’t mean I am sitting in email… so.. have to give time… post. No answer… wait. Person could be off line

    • Arguments are often caused by misunderstanding or lack of communication. Some people who are having a bad day, sometimes lash out, to start an argument with the wrong person or it could be the right person. This does not make it right, to start an argument. One thing that I realize, is that nothing can be resolved when this happens.

      When a person is living a miserable life, this is also a reason that a person might become argumentative. It is hard to ignore this person, but would be the best result so the argument will not be escalated. Arguments can turn out to be very ugly if it is not handled correctly. Someone has to be the better adult about it.

      There are times when a person wants to have the last word, which can also trigger an argument. I have learned that you are not always going to get your point across to a person. It does not necessarily have to be your fault, but you have to know when to let things go. If there is no reason for you to respond to this person, then don’t. Sometimes you can just be tested by certain people, to see if they can get a reaction from you. If you bite, then the argument is on!

      So just be mature about the situation and handle it like an adult. If a person wants to start an argument, let them argue by themselves. Talking, being civilized, is often the best solution when an argument occurs. If there is no reasoning, then you need to walk away.

    • But other than those online sites do you also have a full time job?

      It’s hard to rely on online earning sites because it makes you spend so much time for little earnings.

      A full time job can assure us that we really have a monthly income to sustain our living.

      Online earnings are extra income on which we can spend on our wants since our full time job sustains our necessities already.

      Since I started doing online writing like this, I am already hooked. Not only do I earn, but also I get to earn lots of friends and knowledge too. I also get to improve my writing skill and English proficiency. 🙂

    • I think insurance companies have a ceiling as to how much should be paid to a bank in case it is robbed. Usually, they make the ceiling of how they can pay only according to the amount that was agreed in the policy according to how much premium also they have paid for it.

      That kind of robbery also happened here in our city. I was also an employee in a bank then. One of the banks were robbed before lunch time. All the employees were all made to drop on the floor. . All the customers were made to lie on the floor, head down. When a pregnant woman can’t lay head facing down well , she was kicked in the butt

      The manager, cashier and the employees were all locked inside the vault.

      When the robbers were gone, they shouted at that small hole in the vault where it is really made for that.

      Officers from the other bank were made to open the vault by telling them the combinations. They changed the combinations after that.

    • In this case, the manager had been embezzeling money from the bank. This is why the numbers didn’t match.

    • So true. There are so many scammers on the internet. If one would be so naive, he can be the next victim.

    • With all the cyber crimes being done nowadays, one should really be discerning when on social media. It is just so easy for another person to open an account using a fictitious name or a true name that belongs to a person and whose picture is that person’s.

      That’s why for my protection, I chose to be one a private setting in social media. I only accept friends who are relatives, family and acquiantances that I like.

      That way, no one can cyber bully me.

      • When that first person came on, spewing information, it was done as a ‘hook’ to get others to fall for it. That’s why you have to be so careful

      I wonder if he is really a human being.
