John~ Actually...I think men like YOU are the cause of divorce. B~ This is in your court, too, you know? At this point, what do you think would be best? Do you want to spend your whole life wondering what he's doing or wondering what he really feels or wants? I feel like I have all the answers but I know I don't have any. This is your whole family. I really wish I could help you carry some of this, but I know that I'm r
Shu~ Awesome article...and you're totally right on about 50 points. First...standardized tests and prep for them totally stink and aren't usually a good measure of real learning. Second...we are blessed and haven't lived through anything compared to our ancestors. And third...we really take for granted what we have. Good luck with the testing...and with teaching kids that life is more then all about them.
K~ Right on, girl! We have no right to treat other people, no matter their color or status, that way when they are under American military control, or for ANY reason for that matter. It's war time, and even though it's war, there are certain guidelines of moral conduct that must be followed. No human deserves to be treated like those poor prisoners were... It just makes me sad.
Good for you, K! I'm glad you're liking your job! You are such a well-rounded woman...I'm amazed! Keep us informed about how its going! Moooooooooo!
When I was a freshman in college I lived on a co-ed dormitory floor (I enjoyed living in an all-women's dorm MUCH more when I transfered schools!). My roommate and I were kind of buddy buddy with the guys that lived 3 feet away from us. Anyway...one night I slipped into bed all exhausted on my tummy, put my hands underneath my pillow and laid my head down... And THEN I felt something really slimy and nasty under my pillow. I didn't panick,
I met Ry online...I was bored and sick of homework so I was looking on Yahoo white pages and I saw someone from Minnesota who happened to be Christian...and I started talking to him...and now we are where we are now.... But...I guess I've never broken up with anyone...you know? Ryan's my first boyrfiend, and also my last. I don't know what its like. But I would think that I would totally want someone the way that you do now, but know that i
K~ Hope you and your family enjoyed the holidays. I was going to suggest that spray stuff too, but Mod beat me to it. Maybe one of those wedgie pillows would help, too...so he's not sleeping flat on his back or something? I have no idea. I snore too...and I should've gotten those darn tonsils and adenoids ou
Happy be-earlied birthday, PB. I hope your day is special. I really appreciate your insights to life and your willingness to share about your experiences. You make JU a great place to be.
B~ I guess I don't know much about marriage or them working or not working out...I've never been married and I know my fair share of people whose marriages have broken up or have flourished. I guess I'll say this: You are more than your life events. Life throws so many curve balls at us...good and bad...and sometimes we can't even tell if those events are good or bad until we're standing at the pearly gates. I'll also say t
K... Amen, sistah! You are the queen of the world! ~Moo
B~ These are great! It's the pictures that are the weirdest, most blackmail worthy that are the best...I've got loads of them myself... And...I gotta say this...from one woman to another...you are BEAUTIFUL! Have a great day. ~Moo
Hmmmm...well...I'm 24 years old...and... I LOVE MY GRANDMA PANTIES! I don't like my ass being half covered. And.. if women were intended to wear anything under their clothing, it woulda come factory installed. Kingbee has a good point. I would also argue the fact that if wome
I used to be really...non-touchy...and still...I don't like people way up in my face. Or...if they're sending out bad vibes...bad breath...bad body odor...I want them to keep their space. But I'm much more apt to use touch to communicate to people. I use it in my class alot...a pat on the shoulder, a high five, a hug at the end of the day if the kids want one. I think its pretty effective. If you're being a jerk...and I tap you on the shoulder to
B~ I'm glad that you're using writing as an outlet...even if you don't let the rest of us see what you're writing...it's a GREAT way to sort out your thoughts and your feelings. I don't pretend to know what you're going through or what's going on in your life...but know that we're here to share whatever it is with you. You don't have to be strong ALL the time...when your weak...thats when the rest of us can be a little stronger for y
You said it all, PB...right on!
Gid... Did you know that Garth Brooks has a song about this event? It's called "Belleau Wood" I think...it makes me tear up every time I listen to it. I'm sure it's embellished a little...but...you should check it out if that's your style.
Congratulations!
Phoenix... I think parents and families nowadays are so...focused on work that Christmas is the one time of year they can "buy back" their kids respect and affection...you know? If I have kids...I'm going to give them the best gift...my parents gave it to me...it's TIME... Take some time for those kids...you know?
Good for you, K. I think that lots of people get married for the big cake, the cool dress...and they think the rest of its going to be a fairy tale too... Then they wake up two years later, their husbands are unshaven and forgot to put deodorant on and they have nasty morning breath and have been out of work for a month... That stuff is a part of life...and a marriage is to me anyway, is two people choosing...making a commitm
I was under the impression that your original question called for differing opinions...what seems odd is that now, having realized that you can't make all of us agree with you, you have resorted to calling people antichrists...tsk tsk...WWJD? This is how the Bible gets "misinterpreted" as well. You can
Accepting your beliefs is not synonymous with making national desicions in accordance with your beliefs. This country makes decisions by majority rule. And in the states where the voters CHOSE to not allow gay marriage...the majority ruled. Gotta love democracy, right? <TABLE cellpadding=8 wi
The scriptures were written by people who had close, personal relationships with God and Jesus...they heard Jesus speak, preach, teach, and love. They heard God speak to them on the mountain top. I made a choice to believe what the Bible says. I choose to believe that there is no interpretation needed. That's where all the controversy comes from...humans trying to "interpret" a document that needs no interpreting at all. We try to interp
Exactly...that's it...we have homosexuality and other issues forced on us, and we're ostrascized because we don't think its "right"...and it's because it's more and more talked about...and therefore, accepted. Granted, I don't have that much experience with people who are homosexual. The contact with homosexuals that I've had has been very positive. I guess what burns me is when a person's sexuality is all-consuming. A homosexual walks up t
I'm just a down-home, simple girl from Minnesota. I don't know much...but here's what I think about the Bible: I take it literally. I don't try and peel off all the "messages" and "codes" in the Bible...because I don't think there are any. What kind of God would God be if His word had to be interpreted? I also don't that God would allow His word to be mis-translated. Granted, the Greek and Hebrew that the Bible was written in is di
1/ What do you wear to bed ? Depends...sometimes nothing, sometimes Ryan's boxers and a tank top, sometimes pj bottoms and a tank top... 2/ Do you snore, sleepwalk, talk, or do anything else ‘odd’ in your sleep ? I think I snore when I sleep on my back...I know I've woken myself up in the car because I'm snoring. Ryan loves when I do that. 3/ Do you prefer sheets and blankets or a quilt/comforter ? I usually go to sleep w
