A very true observation. It reminds of people popping the hood when something goes wrong with the car even though they have no idea what they're looking at. It's just what you do when the car is making a funny noise or having a problem. But hey our generation can download music on our ipods, text 40 wpm and twitter in our sleep. My great aunt had to call me for help to use the ATM machine when they stopped giving her husband a check and made him switch to direct d

I believe that God does care. Unfortunately, God's timeline isn't always on the same timeline we are. http://www.unityonline.org/prayer/articles/findingRightEmployment.html
Ugh, at least she's okay but stitches and ER visits are no fun. You were lucky to get seen so quickly. So are you going back? Which SeaWorld do you go to? I haven't been forever. When I was a kid I went to the one in Ohio but I believe they closed that one down. I went to the one in Orlando many moons ago. I might attempt a trip to San Antonio this summer. No beach but still fun stuff.
funny observations
It looks like a fun field trip. I didn't get to go on any with my boys this year. (:(
I was impressed with all of the homeschooled kids in the National Spelling Bee.
I'm one of those who was previously a Dem but can't support Obama. That doesn't mean that I'm crazy about McCain either. I am reminded of the classic South Park election between a Douche Bag and a Turd Sandwich. http://www.youtube.com/v/TIKJ9O8Rsl4&hl=en"> src="<a href="ht
[quote] Any objective person can only conclude that the staggeringly high numbers and instances of these pathologies in our student population are causalities of the programs brought in by atheist/secular humanists who gained control of our public education system in the mid 1960s.

I don't want to call anyone else's religion a cult. For one thing, I probably only have a vague understanding of other religion's or denomination's beliefs. I also have always had a problem with the "I'm right, you're wrong, we're going to heaven, you're going to hell" theology. I believe that there are many paths and it's not for me to judge. For the record, I missed whatever inspired this post. btw, I just responded so you would feel loved ~in spi
Back to the original article, God cannot be kicked out of anywhere. God is still present whether it is "permitted" or not. That being said I don't think anyone has the right to force their religious beliefs or non-religious beliefs on anyone else in school. Teach your kids religion at home or at church or while your driving them to school. Leave it out of the schools. If it matters that much to you that your kids pray in school, spend the money to
Congrats to Obama! Now I'm going to go cry some more. :SNIFF!:
I think it's fine to have sporting events on memorial day. It's not supposed to be a day or mourning but a day of remembrance. Part of Christmas and Thanksgiving is watching football, why not watch baseball on Memorial Day? I think it's great to incorporate something to commemorate the "real" meaning into your celebration of the holiday.
Eddie Izzard seems to be.
Marriage is really hard and the separations in the military make it even harder. Just do your best to be a good, honest and faithful husband to her from now on. Hopefully, you will make it through this rough spot.
It's nice to see you back, phoenix boi.
There's nothing worse than an ache or pain that you can't explain. I guess it's called getting old. Hope you feel better.

I have no problem with gay marriage at all.
Ah, nothing like the pretentious and important people talking down to the peasants.
It is shameful but not surprising. The military junta's human rights violations were already horrific and this is just another illustration of their "hold onto power and control at any cost" philosophy. It's just heartbreaking that so many are suffering when there are those who are willing to help.

My husband thinks I'm too brave. My best friend's husband thinks she's a scaredy cat. We're all different. I think it's better to err on the side of caution though.
I don't think this addresses my issue at all. The condescending attitude of "you're stupid if you don't vote for Obama" doesn't change with the demographic of the voters. The attitude is the same. It would be different if they didn't use the belittling language to describe these voters. I'm glad you thought my article was lovely . Here's an article that might interest you about why Obama supporters should stop piling on Clinton and her voter

That was a pretty big oops.
