Just a Thought About the Debate

About the debate on 9/26/08:



I don't think McCain explained in enough detail, why our country should strive to win this war. I have a hard time understanding why it is a bad idea to begin to pull out of a battle that is costing us so much. I hear him saying, "We have to win this war. We have to win," and it peeves me. How can he be so concerned with winning a war in another country, when we're losing a battle right here at home. This war is costing our country too much and it seems like McCain just doesn't get it.

    You do have a point on why he is so concerned about the war when there are other problems here at home.

    I think it's because him being a soldier during Vietnam nd since we lost that war, I think he really doesn't want to give up on Iraq and he wants to make sure we don't come back defeated. . . .even if it is costing us a fortune.

    It's weird, I know.

    And I have the same confusion towards Obama as well.

    They both can be confusing. . .

    Yeah, I figured the Vietnam thing must play a big role in McCain wanting to win this war so bad.

    My main concern is our country and the kind of economy our children will have to live in when they are adults.

    Between fighting to win a costly war and working to overturn Roe v. Wade, I don't think McCain plans to do much helping the economy.

    I do agree that there is too much focus on winning the war. To understand that we would have to understand a man's way of thinking. It's a struggle for power, which not only causes casualties on the battlefield, but right here at home. To the average American, with any common sense, catching up the national deficit is far more important than spending 10 billion a month, on a war, we shouldn't even be in. Bin Laden-Been Laughing at us. I can hear him now, "Look at those infidels, they're going broke, losing lives, and they still can't touch me. While they focus on us, they're in so much debt with China, and their constituents are outraged with their politicians... aw yes, chaos in America, I'm loving it!" We keep sleeping over here and one day we'll be one of those "occupied territories".

    I feel the same exact way. I think not only Bin Laden, but other people are laughing at us too. It's crazy and I just hope that our country can get through this. We need a Democrat back in the White House now.

Nine Easy to use Apps for Small Cash Advances

Photo by Yan Krukov   Cash Advance apps offer people the ability to borrow small amounts of money in the form of cash advances. Some may have additional features, such as credit-building, saving and budgeting tools, and bank accounts. Most require a monthly membership fee and/or service fees that will be deducted from your account at the same time as your advance repayment. You will need to have a bank account with direct deposit from your employer in order to use these apps. Here is a list of nine, no hassle, Cash Advance apps you can use to get from pay check to pay check. Before I list them, I want to advise against using these apps unless it is an emergency. These should only be used every once in a while. If you are having problems getting from paycheck to paycheck, there is likely a bigger issue at hand. I recommend going over your income and expenses and watching your spending, or getting a second job. Click here for the budgeting app that I use and how it

How to Cheat without Getting Caught (What I've Learned from Men)

I remember being cheated on. I remember catching him red handed and listening as he denied the whole thing. I remember wondering if the other woman knew he was married. Odds are, she probably did. I didn't understand it and the truth is, I didn't need to. I just needed to remove myself from the situation. My ex was careless in his cheating. After my experience I began watching how men & women cheat. Cousins, friends, co-workers - it seems that everyone has a "Sneaky Link" or a "Secret Bae." And although the memes would have you thinking otherwise, it's not cute. But still, it's interesting. So here are some of the best tips I've learned on how to cheat without getting caught:  1. Let the person you are cheating with know that you are already married, or in a relationship. Have this conversation with the person from the beginning so they know their role, and so that you can establish boundaries. Be clear that you will not be leaving your spou

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

What to do when you're feeling confused. Photo by Felipe Cespedes Love is not a decision. Love is a feeling. The feeling is either there, or it isn't. You know from the beginning, because you feel it from the beginning. You also know if the feeling is mutual. However, what we do sometimes, is ignore the signs that tell us that despite how we feel about him, he doesn't feel the same way. We then kind of waste our own time believing that there is something there, that simply isn't. The truth is, if he loved you, you would know. There would be no confusion, and no doubt. If you find yourself in a situation where you are doubting where it's going and you're not sure if he's feels the same way about you, I recommend asking him directly, "Where is this going? Do you see us working out long term?" If he is unsure, or does not give you a direct answer, then you know what it is. You need to walk away from that situation. Before I get into why, I want to
