“Time by itself means nothing, no matter how fast it moves, unless we give it something to carry for us; something we value. Because it is such a precious vehicle, is time” – Professor Ama Ata Aidoo.him being excited about the prospect of kids is going to make this more difficult for you, as he might very well try to convince you to have it or make you feel guilty about aborting it. even if he doesn't do it on purpose there are so many ways this can become a problem.

please don't feel like you're doing anything wrong by deciding to abort. if you're not ready for kids, you're just not and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.  PM me if you need to rant.I just now actually read this comment fully, and wow are you so wrong.

Professional painters don't use tape? Amateurs don't use tape and masking paper. Do you not use dropclothes either? Hell, why even bother to use a brush, just throw the paint at the wall. I'm sure you'd consider that a good paint job from all of your poor responses.

Every time we paint a room, we line the baseboard with 6" paper and 1" tape. Yeah sure it will bleed through in some spots, but I guarantee if you roll a room without paper on the baseboards you'll spend more time cleaning them up than masking. Takes about 10 seconds to mask a 6ft section of baseboard for me.

Don't use tape. Unreal. What do you do, live in the 70's where you'd spray an exterior and just wipe off the overspray paint off their windows and screens and everything else? That's what we call lazy.

Cutting in is not so difficult, stop trying to make it sound hard. Skill? Hardly. Patience is all it takes.

We run paper over window sils too, any flat surface that we're not painting gets covered. The floor, window sils, furniture, everything, paper and plastic and tape.

We don't use tape for cutting in the wall color from a different color ceiling, that's about it. The baseboards, and everywhere else we're not painting at that moment gets covered.

I'm having quite a laugh imagining all the times you've gotten drips and drops everywhere and had to clean them up because you don't use masking.

Seriously, stop making me laugh. " "cutting in" " makes you sound so pretentious. Painting is not difficult, sorry.Why is there a Physical Universe?
This was the first question I came across. It's incredibly tough to answer, as I am not Father God himself, and I don't know his reasons. But I do know that we are the Universe exploring itself. The Universe is a creation of Father God, but it is also an extension of him.
I'll explain: I write fiction stories. My characters reflect some part of me (my main character has my compassion, his sister has my understanding) and they are a part of me. Sometimes, my stories just flow from my hands. I don't go into the day saying "This is how my story will be." I only know how my story starts, and how it ends. I don't know what is going to happen in between. I consider those characters part of me, and they are telling a story through me.
So really, we are telling a story through God, he is the 'Author' we are his characters who make the story.
Why is There Evil in our Reality?
Easy question to answer. What is the opposite of sickness? Health! What is the opposite of a male? A female. What is the opposite of Light? Dark. Our reality is made up of sets of two. There is happiness and sadness. Anger and Calm. Good and Bad.
If there is nothing to define it, then there is no such thing as Good.
Also, evil came into our reality because of the state of things today. We began to not share things and only care about ourselves. Then we began to disagree, get greedy and allowed ourselves to fall away from being pure. Evil manifested itself, because we (as a species) allowed it to happen.
What were we before this life, what are we during this life and what will we be after this life?
We were beings of pure spiritual energy. We did have a 'body' but we may not have looked anything like we do now. We all lived in a dimension of high spiritual energy, and all things were pure. In this life, we are much lower in energy, less pure and no longer in a higher dimension.
After this, we go back to where we were. All of us. No hell, no 'Big Sleep' we simply go back to being pure.
(This isn't boring. We are able to experience many things while here. Heaven is not a place where everyone is all singing hymns and standing around in white robes, heaven is a place where evil is not. After that, we are limitless in what we can do).
What Happens After Death?
First of all, death is not something terrible. Our body shuts off, and out spirit moves on. We don't 'die' we transfer back to Heaven.
So when we 'die' we leave our body and go back to the presence of the Holy Father and the Holy Mother.
Why are there so many Religions?
People think. It's what we do. When we think, we come up with ideas. When we come up with ideas, they are completely different then the next guy's idea. We have perspectives that change from person to person. We read one story and tell it differently. We have one religion, we come up with another based off things from the previous one.
We all knew Father God at one point, and we all remember him differently. This becomes a'religion'.
Sadly, most religions become a business, or they don't like other religions because they are different then theirs. Wars even break out, and millions are killed in the name of religion.
Hopefully this will hold you over until next week. By then I will hopefully have a solid topic.

When was the hour I ever contradicted your desire, Or made it not mine too?
There are no more uses of "contradict" in Henry VIII.To combat the spread of COVID-19, physical distancing measures are being instituted around the world. For the homeless population, orders to stay home are impossible to meet. For those experiencing homelessness and insecure housing, safety measures are not only out of reach, but they’re also not an option. People experiencing homelessness during the pandemic, including individuals and families, are paying an especially high price.
With social services stretched thin and businesses shuttering, rather than keeping people away from shelters, the virus has driven many in as they search for support. Globalcitizen.org explains the problem saying, “Once there, they’re met with perfect conditions for the rapid spread of the coronavirus: overcrowded and sometimes unsanitary conditions, surrounded by others who have come in contact with hundreds of people prior to entry, with the added risk of pre-existing conditions.”
While total prevention is impossible, major cities around the world are scrambling to lower the risk of widespread outbreaks and preventable deaths. Low income and homeless people, who are already high-risk due to limited health care, are now also faced with a lack of funding, medical resources, and staff to care for those who become sick.
One of their biggest challenges is not being able to adhere to the recommended 14-day
