I know people who have gone through divorce. Some of them did go through couple therapy, while others did not. Some of them still got divorces, but some did stick together for a while longer.

Anyway, would you go through therapy first if you feel a divorce is coming?

And this might be why

I always liked the concept of being friends with someone first before dating them. It establishes a bond without the entanglements of lust, romance, and infatuation. It doesn't come easy though. Most of the time, you will know if you are interested in making something more or not right away and if you hold back on that, you risk losing them to someone else.

If being friends first was an option for you, would you take that option?

When I was younger, I would dress up and go door to door for candy. Standard childhood experience.

As an adult, I really don't do anything. I am not into the party scene and as much as I do enjoy dressing up, I am not down to go to parties. If I happen to work on Halloween, I will wear some cat ears or something. The clinic I work at allows some minor costume wear which is fun. I would love to be able to pass out candy but I have to wait until I have a proper house for that. Hoping I can swing something next year. Even if I have to get a friend to pay "rent" and do a house share with me. It would be worth it to finally own property. That and I'd love to decorate for the holidays.

Anyway, do you do anything on or for Halloween? Do you have any plans this year?

Did anyone hear about this?

Someone I know mentioned it and I was looking into it more. I can't say I am surprised. What worries yet fascinates me is this mention of a "shadow economy". I always felt like there were things going on that we everyday people have no clue about. The fact that the middle class is disappearing in places like the US, UK, Canada, Australia, etc. really makes me question if this has anything to do with it.

The secret documents expose offshore dealings of the King of Jordan, the presidents of Ukraine, Kenya and Ecuador, the prime minister of the Czech Republic and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The files also detail financial activities of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “unofficial minister of propaganda” and more than 130 billionaires from Russia, the United States, Turkey and other nations.

The leaked records reveal that many of the power players who could help bring an end to the offshore system instead benefit from it – stashing assets in covert companies and trusts while their governments do little to slow a global stream of illicit money that enriches criminals and impoverishes nations.

With Halloween coming soon, I got to thinking and thought of ghosts and the paranormal. Do you guys believe that ghosts or spirits are real? I personally don't believe ghosts are real. I think anyone who says they saw something, may be seeing things they just can't explain, or maybe a hallucination. idk.

I believe in there being the possibility of aliens more than I do ghosts. But, I know some people who believe in ghosts. Discuss your thoughts.

I have had white doctors in the past, but have always moved on to another doctor. I think it's because they wouldn't always be able to figure out my issues. But whenever I would see a black doctor, he or she would figure out my issue like that. Either I was seeing bad doctors back them, or they just hate black people.

Anyway, what is your preferences when it comes to your doctor? Do you care if they are white or black? Male or female?

Do you guys believe in love at first sight? I have met many women who I was extremely attracted to, but I don't know if I would ever say love. Love is such a strong word, you only say that if you for sure love that person.

I'm sure some people have met their future boyfriend or girlfriend, or even spouse by falling for looks first.

I myself do not believe in love at first sight as I mentioned above. But, it can turn into love.

I'll go to my grave fighting white supremacy, inked a few months ago, need to go back and get OGUN's Veve on my arm.

I want to get my brother a pair for his birthday. He is turning 30 at the end of the month. I know he has always wanted a solid pair of leather sneakers but I have no clue who makes what and what is the best when it comes to men's sneakers. Anyone got some suggestions?
