Reply to I think I should skip Christmas in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Heather, I will be celebrating the religious aspect of Christmas. It's a wonderful time to teach my son about Christ. I was planning on continuing a few religious traditions....reading the Christmas story over the space of a week or two etc. etc. Thanks for pointing that out....Because we read a scripture every night it won't be a change specifically for the Holiday.... Texas, When does he come home? I think I remember you talking about th

Reply to Do Women really not Care if their Guy is FAT? in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

I would never leave my husband because of his physical appearance. His weight could go way up or way down, and he would still be the man I love. I agree with this, but let me just say that I definetely find him more attractive at a healthy weight than when he starts getting love handles and a double ch

writing...It's a good outlet I know it may sound strange, but writing here is more cathartic than trying to write in a journal. Maybe it has to do witht the fact that I can type without looking at my fingers, but writing while crying is out of the question. I must be feeling a little better i

Just reading this breaks my heart I'm so sorry. I normally don't let myself unload all my angst on others, but I had to do something to let it out. I usually talk to my mother in law but when it comes to Matt and deployments I can't because I don't want to make her feel worse than she already does. <B

I think I should skip Christmas in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I'm thinking of skipping Christmas. Not completely, I do have a tree up with lights on, no decorations though. I have a nativity set up too. But that's it. I think I am done. I dont' want to decorate the tree. I don't want to wrap presents. I dont' want to mail out the dozens of cards that I hand-made and even pre-addressed and stamped. I do

So I'm sitting here wallowing in my own misery. If you don't want to hear me complain, then stop reading now because the way I am feeling now...it probably won't be pretty. Matt left again this morning. I feel like I am going to break. Everything hurts and I just want to crawl into bed and sob. I'm not scared because I am alone again. I'm not worr

Well, I'm sure Jake is in bed by now, but happy Thanksgiving nevertheless. I hope you are ready for my favorite part of Thanksgiving...the leftovers! Turkey sandwiches...YUM! Just a silly question for all those in the know...What exactly IS vegimite? I associate it with Australia, but I'm not sure what it is. Is it like SPAM?

How to scare the ER staff..... in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Link Our daughter was born at 22 November 2004. She arrived in all her glory at 4:10 am at Darnell Army Hospital, weighing in at 7 lbs 10.2 oz and measuring 19 inches long. She was known by the nursing staff as "the ER baby". Apparently ER staff on had not actuall

I'm pretty sure this is going to post as though she wrote it, so I'll ID myself up front; this is the Hyperborean Wanderer, on leave from my current travels, home for the birth of our daughter. Life Happens had her baby girl this morning at 4:10, after a mad dash to the emergency room. Mother and baby are doing fine, and I know she wants to write about the experience herself, so I'll skip the details. We were a little worried that she wasn't going to s

Reply to Real men DO like curves! in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

Theory: The fashion industry is run by a disproportionate number of gay men. Gay men prefer the look of 13 year old boys. Clothes "hang" better on 13 year old boys. Therefore, they design clothes to be worn and modeled by women who look like 13 year old boys. Occasionally, to brek the monotony, they will design for the "13 year old with huge fake boobs" body type. Just a possibility.....

It can erupt so suddenly that it often takes us by surprise and we may not have the presence of mind to deal with it sanely I think your article said it well.
