What gives you the creeps?


When I am waiting at a bank line or in any other place, or riding a bus, I hate when strangers try to strike up a conversation with me. It really gives me the creeps.I try to be polite and at least nod when the person asks a question, but I really feel unconfortable. But the worst thing is that I keep wondering about things they could do or if their are criminals or something similar. I know it sounds crazy but I am a chicken. I fear almost everything.What about you?

I came here to visit your place and I really enjoyed it! Congratulations! Layout is pretty atractive and the posts are in the right size enough to be read (I have difficults to read long texts in the net)... About this post, I fear many things, but it is important to focalize our minds, take breath, etc. By the way, I remembered a Coldplay´s song that says: "...we live in a beautiful world..." It called "Don´t panic" ant it meet the case. Hugs!

Hey Ericka. I really liked your blog. As for the topic, you know, there are some techniques to avoid them: headphones and books are the most popular. But sometimes, if you aren't afraid ang give people a chance to talk, you can have intereting experiences! Not so often though... Well, sorry for the English, it hasn't improved much. And keep up with the good work here. \o/

 Well, you make "in-law compounds" plural by making the noun part plural since the women are primarily sisters, and the "-in-law" part just further describes what kind of sisters they are: Sisters-in-law Brothers-in-law Fathers-in-law Mothers-in-law

Ash Wednesday

Today is Ash Wednesday one day after "Mardi Gras" (pronounced /ˈmɑrdi grɑː/) French for "Fat Tuesday" or "Shrove Tuesday",which refers to the practice of the last night of eating richer before the penitential season of Lent before easter. It lasts forty days(excluding Sundays) because of the forty days Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11) That is why some people decide to give something up during the Lent such as chocolate, meat, beer or something they really like or are kind of addicted to. Going back to Ash Wednesday, the name derives from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of believers as a sign of repentance.The priest or minister when making the cross of ashes on someones forehead says the following: Remember, O man, that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return .—Genesis 3:19The purpose of this is to remind us of our mortality.
