I don't think that about you at all, sweetie. You've shown much kindness and consideration. Thanks, B. I hope that your time before A leaves is slow, and sweet. I hope that the time that he's away is swift and safe. I cannot begin to imagine...

Reply to Do people with children get treated more favorly than those in Parenting JoeUser Forums

I'm childless...and I hope that I won't be forever. But I work in a place where lots of my coworkers have young families. I know I can put in more "free" time than they can, so I do. I volunteer to work with the PTA. I take extra shifts of duty and I really try to just give them a break if they need it, becuase *I* believe that family is important, and most of the other people who work here do, too. I know there will come a time where I'll

Some people don't care to try to listen or understand what it feels like to be inside this and experience the effects of the war from this place. Luckily, there are lots more people who are willing to listen and to care and to think of military families. I hope you've got me lumped in with the latter ca

but I do take issue with your comment about two people looking at the same box. It may be the same box, but it looks a hell of a lot different on the inside of it. that's true, too. It's very paradoxial. It's the same issue, but two totally different perspectives. It's the same war whether you're a w

Very well said. It's hard to remember that you're looking at the same box whether you're on the inside of it or the outside of it... That being said...I don't know if it's wise for this to turn into a "I think she's feeling..." type of a conversation. Leaving well enough alone at this point might be a good idea?

Reply to Bigger butts bring need for longer needles in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Hmmm...I have a fat ass, as opposed to your flat ass. This makes sense. I had an antibiotic injection a few years back for a "kidney infection" that I supposedly had. The drug was an irritant anyways, and they put some sort of cortisone or something in it to take the pain away. Needless to say, my poor toukus was sore for two weeks. Too much fat, I guess. But when I had that demerol shot after my car accident....oh man...life was

No...you're right...it *is* difficult to gauge someone else's age...I'm not good at it either. I can see how it would be very frustrating. "Pursue"...*sighs* Oh how nice to be "pursued".

Having worked for a School division's administration (Installing and administering networks), I think you probably hit the nail on the head. As one husband of a teacher said "Administrators are just burnt out teachers". Yup! We're so busy with standards and graduating kids and lawsuits and crap...who's

What's ironic is, we live in a day when we are encouraged to use "straight talk" when it comes to talking about sex with our kids. "Call it a penis or vagina, don't use euphamisms", "don't use stories about storks or cabbage patches"... Then when it fits their agenda, they will mince words like "abstinence" "virginity" and even

I can't believe a well-informed health teacher would teach that information as correct. On the other hand...teachers have to be puppets sometimes. The school board says "hey, moron, tell the kids this!" and we have to tell them that stuff. I'm NOT saying it's okay to do that...but it is the reality of things. This stupid chart comes from our need to organize and group things, and probably a lack of space--couldn't fit another catego

It's a war. People die--soldiers and civillians. I don't want to make light of the death and destruction...not at all. But would an American soldier kill an Iraqi civillian just because s/he could? I'd like to think the answer is a definitive no. There's really not a whole lot that can be done about it now.

Yes, it is. Just as it's your choice to come here after the little disagreement we had this weekend. Which, by the way, I find to be in incredibly poor taste. I don't want to be a bitch about it and I'm not trying to be a bitch about it, but.....I was under the impression that you didn't want anything to do with me. So, I gue

I didn't take this as "screw the soldiers"...I guess I took it as screw the people who make the decisions. The soldiers are really puppets. We know that most of them would much rather be at home with their families. But we're still thankful that they're willing to go for the "greater good of humanity"...whatever THAT is anymore. I haven't seen this photo before. I think it really shows the tragedy in all of this. These poor soldier

I dunno if I am just wierd or something, but doesnt that seem like and endless loop of fallibility, or did I read it wrong? Basically, it is like saying I believe in the Bible because it tells me I should. It *is* his choice, though. Even if we don't agree it's his choice.

Reply to The insanity of fatherhood in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

lol....great story. My students love when I do the "happy dance". If my students earn two positive action cards a day, they get rewarded by the "happy dance". The happy dance consists of fat-arsed me shaking my rump with some 70's Bee Gees action thrown in there along with some classic 90's "churn the butter" moves. It's ridiculous, but the kids are willing to work for it, and it just creates a fun atmosphere of laughter in the classroom.<B

You know, that's a very nice story, but.....the issue with having another human be your purpose, your raison d'etre, is that they are both mortal and fallible. I'm not looking for someone to need me. I needed someTHING, not someONE. I needed god, I needed to be reassured that there IS something bigger than this. </TA

I don't. See, I think men got themselves all full of pride and thought that they could decipher what god wants by picking and choosing what's in the bible, and they kind of screwed up in doing so. I don't think that the bible was ever intended to be a complete document.....and we have, in our infallability, taken it upon oursel

I don't believe the Bible is the end of the story at all. I don't believe the Bible is "symbolic," either. I don't believe that God wanted His words to be available only to the learned. I think He wanted the Bible to make sense to and be applicable for every kind of person. I believe that faith is a CHOICE, and that any kind of faith--Christianity, Judaisim, Buddhism, etc., etc., is a CHOICE as well. I CHOOSE to believe tha
