nmrhth: In response to wusiaomao comment that he/she needs to work on his/her own salvation: the whole point of Christian teachings that you cannot work for your salvation. Every single person has failed. We have all sinned. The penalty for that is death. Hence the whole part about the only person who never sinned dying
Little Whip: What I had really wanted to do was to set it so that it would be hidden for now. I don't want to get rid of it (I even saved all the comments), I'm just tired of looking at it right now. I have a tendency to feel remorse or embarrassment after being very open with people (a flaw, to be sure), and I felt the need to push it away for a while. I started to feel concern that people would see me differently or relate to me differently becau
Some of you may have noticed that I am missing a couple of articles (or possibly you hadn't noticed and don't care and I think way too much of myself), and I wanted to give a brief explanation as to why the articles are missing. I have deleted (but saved on my computer) Lazy, Unwed Welfare Moms and A Different Way of Saying It. Following the of
I am going to give you my opinion on this although it differs radically from that of the majority. First off, it sounds like, from this post and a previous one that you have on the forum, that he is not merely perusing porn when the mood hits him. It sounds like he has a full-blown addiction to pornography. Whether a woman is OK with her man looking at porn or not, it is a problem when he invests more time in his porn habit than in the real, live re
Draginol: Surprisingly, I am agreeing with you here on many points. But ultimately, my point boils down to the "poverty rate" having become non-useful. If we want to really go after poverty, we need to come up with a reasonable definition of it. I agree completely that true poverty is not w
LadyCleve: Wow. This is an amazing piece. Thanks so much for sharing such a deep, personal piece of your heart.
Yeah, I'm not much of a speeder. I don't think it makes me morally superior or anything, I just don't like it because I feel like I'm not in control of my vehicle (and I don't want to get a ticket . . . I tend to be compulsively law abiding to the point that it's really just sad ). Van cams wouldn't hurt me any. You're right, though . . . we have people who think we should be courteous a
chiprj: They have been debating the van cam thing all over again . . . several months back we had some soldiers drag racing (while drunk) in the early hours of the morning that ran into a truck that was in one of the lanes while its driver laid out cones or something. The man died, as did all the soldiers. It was a really bad wreck, with some of the soldiers being trapped in their cars and being burned alive. People were very upset and a push towar
Kingbee: This is phenomenal. It's fantastic writing, and I appreciate your drawing my attention to something (important) that I had been previously unaware of (likely because I spend far too much time on JU!). What an amazing story. Great article!
FreeMark: This is an excellent article, and a compelling read. I don't know if I agree completely with your conclusion . . . I think that there is a place for dreamers . . . but as far as productivity is concerned, doers are far more valuable because they can understand the logistics and can forsee possible snags. They see the reality of a project. Great post. I enjoyed it.
Interesting rant . . . I know only enough about vehicles to comprehend where the key goes to start the ignition, but if I actually knew something, I'm sure I would agree with you completely! *nice use of elephants and the word assclown, btw*
If you're wondering if Hawaii has big-time issues and scandals just like the mainland (really? that was exactly what you were wondering before you logged on to JU? what a coincidence!), here's a little peak at our pressing issues: This article comes from "Midweek", which is a newspaper/magazine-type publication that I get for some reason that is unknown to
trina: I adore Mem Fox! Great choice! One of my favorite children's books is Tough Boris . . . have you read that one? A bit old for Elana maybe, but an excellent book for teaching about loss and grief. We also have Koala Lou and Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partidge. Great books. I remember reading Possum Magic, but I don't think we have it . . . I may have to go buy it. One Dr. S
I love you because . . . - you make me hot cocoa with whipped cream on top - you say funny things like "disgursting" and "shut your face hole" - you go behind me and put away the food I leave out on the counter - your eyes are like a field of green with with earthy specks all wrapped up in a dark blue sky - you l
I don't know what to say . . . this is very interesting . . . and although it probably shouldn't be . . . funny ( ) . . . sorry, but I have to go with chiprj on the BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You are the queen of interesting facts, mig!
2 containers of Clorox wipes!!!! What the heck?! I thought having to provide paper towels was bad enough. Now they have upped it to Clorox wipes! !! I know exactly what you mean, Jill! My seven year old's list was crazy . . . we had to bu
Sally: Thanks so much for your input. You're a sweetie. BlueDev: Thanks for the advice . . . sounds good. My antibiotic drops say "Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Hydrocortisone Otic Suspension USP" and they are still in date (til 12/04). I will pick up a suction bulb today. Thanks so much for your help . . . I'll go ahea
OK . . . I have a health issue and I know I should post it in the Health section, but the lower section of the forum is where articles go to die, and it might be a month before I got a response on this. Please forgive me for (repeatedly) abusing the Misc. heading. I have a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad earache. The inside of my ear is all puffy and swollen,
Nice article, kingbee. I remember reading about this somewhere (possibly in Cosmo?). volunteers are determined to arouse the voting public doing whatever that requires. Very cute. <img src="../images/smiles/lol.gif" border=0
Welcome to JU! Just so you know, if you would like to keep your "blog" (sounds dirty, doesn't it?) private, there are settings you can choose that will make it so that others cannot read your posts. Again, welcome!
Jeremy: Thanks. I think that we named Licorice that because he liked us so much. (we were really young, it doesn't really have to make sense!) Works for me. <
chiprj: That's it! You're not allowed to look at the pictures of my dogs anymore! Just kidding! HAHA! I promise that I harbor no ill will towards your girls! I swear! <TD class="mb-Body-Qu
what we need to fight terrorism is not empathy, and never sympathy or support, but educated insight in how to prevent the self-perpetuating cycle. Wow. I think what you've just said, mig, is so very insightful. I agree completely. </fo
This is great, mig! . . . and what a title! Salon.com calls it "Pregnancy Porn." Not only do we get photo essays of the famous parents with their babies, we get pictorials of the little ones' bedrooms, which are larger than a bungalow.
Mig: Interesting post. I like the new, bold miggy. David: A hungry man is an angry man; an ignorant man is a belligerent man. I find so much truth in
