Kids his age are like sponges, absorbing every little thing they learn and every little experience they have Don't I know it! His vocabulary amazes me. Example: We were snuggling in bed the other day and his dad came and told him it was time to get up. Once he left, Noah says, "He disturbed me." I said, "Wh

... ok, my twin! I had a conversation with my mother two weeks ago about menopause. I'm only 35, but like you... I think the beginnings of this garbage are setting in. *sigh* My mother was in her early 40's when she went through it... and it certainly would explain a lot of things. Lovely. I only look my age when I wear make-up (at least that's what I've been told). Put my hair up

Ok... so simple question, rather than philosophical discussion, maybe. Would you or would you not invite a family from the Gulf Coast to live with you?

What a nice article, Rose! Thanks for making me smile with your concern for others... I'm new here. Could you tell me a little about yourself? I already know you have a sweet spirit.

Eh, I don't really miss it either. Especially since my 5 year old (who started his Kindergarten work this year) called me at work to tell me that he just finished reading his first book!!! Yeah! It was hard to tell who was more excited, him or his mom! That's awesome! I remember Noah's sister (Jasmine) comi

((((((((((((((((((((Karen))))))))))))))))))))))) I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to transition in and out of being together. I can sympathize with single parenting, but it's even more different for you because you're NOT single, and shouldn't have to parent alone so much. I'll be praying that Dave will be home for Christmas.

It saddens me how the politics began even before the people of the Gulf Coast were rescued. It saddens me that no one seems willing to take responsibility but would rather pass the buck. It saddens me more hand are busy pointing, than helping - at least this is how it seems to me. But every so often, there is something -- a gesture, a word, an act of compassion -- t

Reply to When does a homo sapien get a soul? in Misc JoeUser Forums

But there is an early church belief that a human soul can not enter a body that is not fully formed. What church is that? My vote: absolutely at conception. As stutefish said, it could be before that point... "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..." (Jer. 1:5), but if you're talking physical

Reply to Nazi Gold? in History JoeUser Forums

Interesting idea. However whether this would be positive or not, depends on your viewpoint. If you're christian instead of jewish, then according to the book of Revelations, the rebuilding of the temple is a sign of the coming of the antichrist, and the impending apocalypse. Not a good thing. Meh. Ah ha

I don't have much to say about the whole world, but I can say this: Act in precisely the way you want your kids to be - that is the single most important predictor of their behavior, in my nonscientific opinion Absolutely. So often we underestimate the affect we have on our children. We speak and think they'

Reply to Bratz Sexy Slumber Party Book Series! Yay! in Misc JoeUser Forums

Excellent post, TW. I love that my ten-year-old has recently discovered the Nancy Drew Series... and LOVES it! She also has a Trixie Belden book (anyone remember her?) that she reads before bed at night. For the record, I am not a fan of Spongebob. Any cartoon that incorporates humor that is not designed for children, but goes over their heads... sends up a red flag to me. I just don't like it.

I think it is hypocritical that some think "a woman's right to choose what she does with her own body" is the same as "a woman's right to choose what to do with an unborn child." As if the child is universally accepted as being some vestigial organ until it pops out. If you could convince me a fetus is no more than an unne

It was the right thing for him to do. Few of the problems in New Orleans were because of him, but he apparently padded his resume, and that is reason enough for him to be removed. Good for him for (for once) making an honorable choice. Agreed that falsifying the resume is enough... I go back and forth betwee
