Glad you are going to be staying. I have seen too many come, blaze onto the seen with article after article, only to become disgruntled by lack of comments or unpleasant ones. I look forward to reading your future work.

Excellent metaphor. I agree, and while I have in the past gotten very upset over things I have read, I have learned to cool my jets before I respond. Especially if I feel the anger rising. But I can't help but think that there are, on few and extreme occasions, necessary smart bombs. But their use should be relegated to extreme cases, and should still not be dropped in anger, rather, only after careful thought.

1) Did you have a nickname? Nope. Some friends would call me "Pete" for short, but my mother hated it, so I never really liked it either. Close friends I would let get away with it. Others, I told them quite clearly that my name was Peter. 2) Were you a student who ‘worked to the best of their ability, or were you a serial-hider of report-cards? I was a nerd. What can I say? I

My motto has always been: If they're old enough to pull the toys out, they're old enough to put them away. Absolutely. The other important thing to note I believe is that the more they learn it when they are young, the more willing to do it they will be when they are old. Our 21 month old daughter kno

Ah, yes, but since the outcome of the debates will not only affect America for the next four years, but the rest of the world as well in some way, you may want to think it through just a bit more.

Thanks for bumping this with your other blog. I hadn't had a chance to read it back then. I have never been in this position, and don't envy it at all. However, I really got a feeling for the respect you have for those who have tragically fallen and the duty to honor them. Thanks for sharing this.

The onus of responsibility falls on the parents and the children themselves: not the doctors, not the school nurses, not the media, not the product manufacturers. You got an insightful from me on this one. It is so true. The current trend to pass the responsibility on to others in today's society sick

Oh man, they hurt. Especially when they are on the mucosa covering the septum. Those hurt like crazy. But I feel strongly about nose hair. It should never, ever come close to poking out. Period. And one other grammatical thing about this article (this one is for you citahellion). I did have the presence of mind to change the title of the article. I ended my sentence with a preposition!

Grrr, you are right. I was writing this one quickly and forgot to go back and proof read it. The second I saw the word "illusive" in your post I thought "Oh no, I didn't write that did I?". Crap. I did. Editing now because that one pisses me off too. Thanks for the heads up.

Sitting calmly, working away on my computer I reach up and brush my upper lip, hunting an elusive tickle that is afflicting my every breath. Fearing some phlegmatic detritus, I brush away, looking for the fearsome boogers. But none are discovered. There must be another source, another bur under my saddle. I reach up again, making sure no one is looking
