Why do people say Jesus is your friend?

That may be true, but I don't want heavenly friends! I want earthly friends I can hang out with and go to the movies with.

Why is Jesus by name the one and only Lord? What makes these names become Earthly?

In the Catholic scriptures (St. Joseph Edition) Halophenes (sp?) is called Lord. There are also text referring to other people as 'lord'.

I would like to believe in an earthly paradise where people live forever, but isn't that too good to be true?

an earthly paradise is impossible because we are all consumed with sin. this paradise exists in heaven, though

Pregnant? Period? or Paranoid?

Here's my situation. I usually get my period June 10th. However, I had sex June 3rd. It was protected, but there was an accident. The condom broke. We noticed it right away, but timing never makes a difference with these things. Now, I am the type to worry about everything, so of course, the whole 7 days after, I was freaking out. On the 10th, I did not get my period...or the 11th...or the 12th...or the 13th...I grew worried throughout those days. However, on the 14th, I finally gave up and assumed I was pregnant. Then, I got my period. Now, I believe it was my period because it filled up pads for the first 3 days then slowed down the last two (like always, 5 days). I stopped worry for a little while. Then I started googling information to calm myself down and be prepared in case of another scare. Of course, this did not help me. I learned about implantation bleeding and I grew worried again. As I said, the bleeding filled up the pads and it was red all the way through. Not pinkish or brown. So again, I calmed down for a few days. Then 2 weeks after I began having discharge. Again, I began to worry. I am aware that you have frequent discharge during pregnancy. I did some more googling and calculating and came to the conclusion that I was just ovulating. I know you can't ovulate while you're pregnant. My discharge is clear, sticky, and has the "egg white" texture. I was able to stretch it out between my thumb and pointer finger. As you can see, I worry a lot. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I plan on taking another one soon, but in the mean time, am I just stressing myself out too much? Was that my actual period? Help me out. :l I'm quite the worrier as you can see.

'The Dream' needs a better title- any suggestions?

I have been here reading and reading. Mystically comforting words that flow. I saw the girl on the shore and the waves are the life both quenching and calm but also parched and torrid that lives in her around her before and after and with that I saw the title - After the Waves.

Can a business located in a mall solicit to the malls customers?

My girlfriend works for sears photography and they had her walk around the mall and hand out flyer's, hence a security guard came and basically embarrassed her in front of mall patrons. Can sears get in trouble for putting her in a situation that embarrassed and humiliated her and for putting her in an illegal situation?
