Poetmom, the man accepted public office and with that comes inordinate scrutiny of every detail of one's life. I don't share your opinion of him. I will not turn a blind eye to his failings and prop him up to be something he was not. End of discussion. You don't know if you share my opinion of him or n

if anyone disagrees with me tell me this, what would you have said if Saddam had died in the war?....I bet you wouldnt have thought it too disrespectful to talk about his warts. I will no doubt be roundly abused for that one likening Reagan to Saddam.... I believe that when someone dies, out of respec

Daily Love Tip #61 in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Disagreements are inevitable in any marriage. Arguments occur between the most loving mates. In a moment when calm and reason prevail, make a pact always to play by the rules. Your mutually agreed-upon rules may read something like this: --Neither party shall resort to or threaten violence in any form. --Neither party shall run home to mother.

No one can "shut you down", so none of us really are trying to do that. The response you got on the Reagan article was because you picked the day of someone's funeral to accuse them of tens of thousands of "needless" deaths. Exactly! And to ask for civility when displaying a total LACK of respect and c

Reply to All bow down to the alter of Reagan... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I think you would be hard-pressed to find a consensus that Reagan's presidency was not a success overall. Issue's like AIDS funding are hardly as important as things like the economy and the cold war. Well, I don't know that AIDS funding isn't/wasn't as important...and it's not like there was

Then I see that shit happens, sometimes for no reason, and it's not what happens to you but how you react to it that counts. Too true, too true. Oh, and btw, it's "Teresa", with no H.....just for the record.....

Reply to Another point in favor of home-schooling in Blogging JoeUser Forums

My point (badly presented, it's true) was that incidents like these undermine my willingness to leave my childs' education in the hands of a system thet reacts to the most annoyed parent by squelching the teacher. I would agree....but in the cases cited, it would appear that the teachers were, indeed,

Reply to All bow down to the alter of Reagan... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

With all due respect to someone who took a bullet while serving in his role as the leader of our country, former President Ronald Reagan was not the perfect person he is being portrayed to be at this time. As one of the news commentators said last night, there was good AND bad about the man, and about

Reply to High Maintenance Chick in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Let me get this straight though - calling a loved one in the day just to tell them you are thinking about them isn't high maintenance at all though!...

Daily Love Tip #60 in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Red-letter days such as Valentine's Day,birthdays, and anniversaries aren't likely to slip by unobserved. But if they do so regularly, it is more often the result of carelessness and insensitivity than forgetfulness. Remembering those dates without being reminded will make a big impression on your spouse. Why? Because it indicates that you deeply value your r

Reply to Another point in favor of home-schooling in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I read the two incidents, and have to comment here....the first teacher did not answer the student's question....the meaning of a line of Shakespeare is not given by quoting, incorrectly, a verse from the Bible. If the teacher felt that verse was pertinent, then use it's MEANING to explain the Shakespearean quote. As for the second teacher, the "facts" presented to the class about why Hitler came to power were historically inaccurate. Sounds to me lik

Reply to High Maintenance Chick in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I wrote something a while back for an email loop I'm on, which I think says it all, one high maintenance chick to another: High maintenance women need attention, appreciation and affection. It's a simple fact. I enjoy receiving phone calls from my husband during the day, just to say "I love you." What a man. He knows what I like. An e-card sent to me or a single flower or special book I wanted, he delivers these things. I love it
