I do believe in an afterlife. I someties have doubts but I always give it a lot of thought and there has to be something after this. I believe in God and Jesus and all of the saints. It is so much better than having nothing to believe in. That is sad. I just know in my heart that the afterlife will...

what I find interesting about this question is that the people I know of faith in an afterlife, actually do not seem to really believe in it. Oh, they say things, like "he is in a better place now" and they profess to a belief in it, but of the people I know who have died (all of our relat...

That's right Penny, Katherine Tate. We often say to each other, "Do I look bovered?" I don't know that I agree about humor from generation to generation. Our grandkids and we have enjoyed vastly such movies as a Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant in "Bringing up Baby" from the '30s an...

I'd like to join in the OT of British t .v. shows. We were very disappointed last night to see our PBS station, on which we watch "Doc Martin", is off the air! We did also at one time have a British channel on which we saw Little Britain and oh I forget her name, the comedienne Katherine s...
