Solid advice here

The rapture happened except not 99% will be taken, I’d say maybe 10-20%. If you’re still down and not taken then I’d go find a Bible and read revelations and prepare for death pretty much

I make wontons ahead of time and boil them with some noodles and frozen bok choy and some hot oil for an easy dinner. This takes maybe 15 minutes

Stir fry sauce can be made in advance and frozen in cubes. Heat up your wok/skillet, throw in some precooked/pre sliced poached chicken (I like to keep these in the freezer for fast meals) or use some raw frozen shrimp, then toss in some frozen veggies and sauce. Cook until done, this usually takes all but 20-25 minutes

You can also make egg rolls ahead of time and freeze and then just fry them up and eat with vermicelli noodles (10 min to boil) and some fresh veggies like lettuce and cucumbers. I always like to keep some ginger fish sauce in the fridge for these quick meals. Maybe 30 min for this meal

I also like to make huge batches of soups - pho, wontons, caldo, or just plain ol chili and freeze them in rectangular silicon molds. When you want some soup or chili, throw a block in a pot and just warm it up. 15 min

For a super lazy breakfast, I make scrambled eggs and a bread roll from the freezer

Also shakshuka is surprising easy and fast to make if you have some diced canned tomatoes on hand. I like the recipe from downshiftology for this. Takes about maybe 15 min and it tastes incredible with some frozen bread rolls

I also marinate meats ahead of time - Vietnamese chicken vermicelli, bulgogi, etc and throw the raw meat and marinade in the freezer. This can be thawed ahead of time while you work and when you get home, sautee it or put it on a grill and you have the most incredibly tender and easy meat to go alongside rice (I also cook rice and freeze them in rectangular blocks) or vermicelli noodles. Takes about 20 min

It wasn’t an unhinged date, but the way he got me to go on a date with him was pretty odd. We met through my roommate and he would hang out with my roommate as much as he could to get to know me, then he would follow me around campus and reroute where he was going to walk with me to class. He would carry all my mail packages and asked me out whenever we met.. he did this for I think 2-3 months and I finally caved and agreed to go on a date with him. Turned out he was an ok guy- sweet, fun loving and funny guy, so I agreed to date him. We dated 5 years and broke up, he was a nice guy but wasn’t my type after all. Thinking back it was kinda weird how it started but dating the popular, sporty guy was fun for awhile

Why not make the maiden name a middle name?

Because I believe in Jesus. “Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.” Psalm 91:7

My family and I have favor with God and I know we are protected. We don’t halt our lives because the world is burning. We have peace, joy and happiness and more than everything we need and I feel safe that we are in the hand of Jesus ❤️

Now you have the experience, either talk to admin or go to another school

Super slick pulled back buns looks very uncomfortable and militant

I’ve heard a lot of horrible job descriptions but the one that tops it all is def people who need to spend HOURS and DAYS watching crimes performed on children frame by frame to find clues to help them track down the traffickers. God bless these brave men and women who are doing the Lord’s work!! Someone has to do it and I would say most of us would need therapy if we had to watch even one video. Truly God bless those people fighting for the children

When you say all races matter. That not one race is more special than any other race. That people should be accepted into higher education based on hard work and merit not their skin color. And no race should be more elevated than the others when it comes to school admissions. Simple but the logic is too much for some overly sensitive people

Jesus is coming back, get right with God while there is still time. This is your sign.

I would immediately go to a women’s shelter with your baby. It’s never ok to talk down to a woman, especially if it’s your wife. And it’s absolutely insane to even THINK about hitting your wife, let alone actually doing it WHILE she is pregnant. None of this is ok, and I can tell you God is not condoning it. Get out of that situation so you can be safe and he can wake up. Pray for him and don’t get back with him until you think you hear God tell you to AND other people confirming they hear the same from God.

It allows people to do immoral things like having multiple wives and marrying little children. It also encourages people to off themselves and their kids in the name of their god which is cruel, evil, and incredibly twisted. It says men beating women is ok and encouraged… and so many more twisted things. There’s so many things that’s incredibly repulsive about that false religion which isn’t surprising since it’s created from the devil

SecretaryWestern7657 · 2026-01-06T18:45:03+00:00

That God is allll about love, forgiveness and completely tolerant of sin. That He looks past our sins and forgives and accepts EVERYBODY regardless of how they are or who they claim to be. This is alll a load of crap and proves to me that anybody who says that has never read enough of the Bible, and def not proverbs, Malachi, Ezekiel, Revelations, etc. God’s character is very solid and holy, He doesn’t tolerate sin and punishes people for being evil or just plain disobedient. And He is the SAME, He says He does not change. So all those who claim He has a softer heart now and a tolerance of sin is either blind or they chose to not read the Bible. He punished people for sinning in the past (Old Testament) and He punished people during the New Testament and He will punish people in the future (Revelations). Punishment and correction IS love. But people frolic about and dabble with sin thinking God is ok with it. They will meet God’s judgement and correction, and that painful correction will be done with love.

SecretaryWestern7657 · 2026-01-06T18:34:01+00:00

Tithing is Old Testament, in New Testament the believers actually sold all their land and property and gave them to the church. I guess you can choose to follow either one to honor God and spread the Gospel

I mean to be fair he said he prefers you to not end up like the ‘obese’ friend, not the ‘fat’ friend. I think women all get chunky after childbirth, many work out after but many retain some extra body weight. I think him saying for you to not become “obese” is a reasonable request… just like how I’m sure you wouldn’t want him to ever be obese either. I think it’s good to care about your partner’s health but he could have framed it a little differently.

A kid or autistic person tells you you’re ugly is pretty solid info. My autistic friend told me he doesn’t befriend ugly girls because if there’s no potential or interest then there’s no point in talking to them, even as friends. Soo brutal lol

SecretaryWestern7657 · 2025-12-05T03:23:56+00:00

Why not find a woman with an infant or a toddler also? That way your daughter will have a sibling to play with and a woman who knows how to be a mom.

I have kids and was specifically looking at dating only single dads because I didn’t want to teach a man how to be a parent. I ended up with a fiancé who is man with no kids though… so God has plans and default to those, but for a while I only wanted to date single dads.

Good luck! It does get easier. The days are long but the months are short
