It would be hard for anyone to follow that kind of announcement. But compassion and sincerity go a long way for filling in where short term condolences lack. Try to learn who she is as a person. To many times people are labled by the situation they find themselves in rather than who they are...... PS I'm glad that John felt comfortable enough to speak...do I sense a tiny bit of disappointment that he chose not to prepare as much as

I really talked up the pros of the military in my comment to the last article.....but on the opposite side of the spectrum...You could look like a lousy soldier for NOT getting a "blanket award" because your unit is too messed up to get the job done. My unit, for example where an PCS or end of duty was rewarded with...nothing. They were to busy so they asked me to write it and never gave me it because... "we are getting ready to deploy and you are

So today our daughter learned to control her hands and actually hit what she was aiming at....we have toy bar that dangles over her head and plays music if you hit the toys. She stared at it intensely, looked at her hand, looked at the toy and very deliberately swatted the toy and laughed when she was rewarded with music. She repeated this for almost 20 min...gettin

I didn't even bother with a "Kid" computer....I just gave my son my old one. We sat side by side and typed.....He loved it It also worked with the extra PS2 controller....of course, it would only fool him if we were using the other one at the same time. He knew that something should be happening on the screen when he hit the buttons, but Connor on HW's lap and "play video games" with him for hours.....

I'm not really clear on all the details, but wouldn't this program allow MY money (albeit only 4% of it) to stay MY money? I could leave that money to my husband if I should croak before he does....or to my kids if I dont' use it all....that soudns kind of nice to me considering as I understand it, I won't be recieving back even as mucha s I will end up putting in... But if I'm wrong, please correct me. I see problems with the system as it i

--That's life in a nutshell. ---yes, sometimes and sometimes. (sometimes life sucks because we need to learn something.......not because we are making the wrong choices) --depends on the situation.....but if chocolote is involved...yes. ---yes. Somethings should close the chapter of a relationship, no questions asked, no second chances. (violence is a big one) ---because your body needed the feel good rush from an overload of sugar a

Sorry this is so long..... Hmmm, I have been thinking about this ever since Angela posted her comment yesterday. Do I think it's worth it? Hmmmm. I have thought about this many times and given my point of view to those sho have considered joining or leaving the military. But the fact that my husband is in more danger than most does carry some weight. I have always pointed out that we have so many "extra" benifits

Just smile sweetly at people like her and say with a voice full of sincerity......"I'm jsut trying to protect you! I couldn't sleep at night if I thought I did something that could be illegal and cause you to lose your house and go to jail....." I don't know, and wouldn't really care if it's true....just be overcompensatingly sacharine and they will feel like fools for screaming... And drivers....I can't complain because I have done my fair

Computers, TV, and Movies are making this world stupid TV, Internet and computers are just TOOLS. In and of themselves, there is nothing inherently stupid, evil or wasteful about them...contrary to popular belief. The way they are used, and by who is the issue. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quo

Angela, you are one of my treasured friends and you deserve a good response to your comment. My kids are sick and I can't give it the time it deserves now, but please know that I heard you and will talk to you about this soon. and just FYI: I do support many of Bush's policies BUT there are also many things I strongly disagree with....so please don't fear that I have been brainwashed.... <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="

No stress there. Connor took a long time to talk too. I finally resorted to using sign language for a few months till he decided to verbalize.....and it just keeps gettting better too! Yesterday he looked at me singing to Maddy and told me, "Mommy, you're just a goofball!" It always throws me when I hear him say something new!

My better half is rarely around, and I have learned that birthdays are just days...holidays are just a day too. The ones that are truely special are the ones you spend with those you love. HW has spent a great deal of time making me feel special on "regular" days, so not having roses and a fancy dinner on Valentine's day isn't a big deal...I already know he loves me.

David-I am amazed that someone who proclaims themself as such a wonderful person would waste time making obnoxious comments on someone's blog. I find it pathetic and sad that you have nothing more productive to do in your life. I personnaly know Greywar and your Southern, redneck, racist drunk description was way off base. But then again, it sounds as though you have already decided how the world should be and are not remotely interested in oth

i know that many many times in my life, I have butted in where my advice turned out to be...unwanted and unneeded. I usually feel really stupid afterwards. it wasn't till just now that I realized that you might feel that way. Of course, I usually welcome your advice because I know it is dispensed with love and concern. So even though you always tell me to be careful, and drive safely and not eat chocolote so much....I know it's because you love me.

"Yes....but at what point do we take away the choice?"That's the point where "I don't want to start conflicts in what seems to be (for once) a civil conversation on the subject." It was more of a hypothetical/personal question to ponder...there is no clear answer to that one. And I want to thank all t
