I'm the child who hated group assignments in school. I never felt like I could depend on other people. This is part of my personality and usually a flaw since I seem to think I am the only one who can do things "right." Sometimes people are dependable if you will just give them a chance. Sometimes they aren't... This past week I began teaching 5th grade Langu

Yikes! Ditto on what Gid said. There isn't much more to say I guess. Except that I will do everything in my power to not raise kids like those. Poor Xavier, and brave kid! I have no idea about the cockroach thing. I'm not sure that was a Christian...or maybe he misinterpreted something.

Oh my goodness...I don't think I can be a mom. I'm exhausted just doing what I do and I only have to take care of me and my husband! I may have to give up my no cafiene rule to have kids...

My dad always ate Product 19 when I was growing up. Not that that's the point of this story or anything...

Sending happy thoughts your way and hoping we can all take the extra step not to be sucky people tomorrow. PS I'm a Christian and don't have any idea how people get the idea that the Bible gives them the right to be cruel to animals...

are you getting enough attention from that man of yours? Oh yes. You don't have to worry about us in that department. Most of my insecurity about breasts comes from the stereotypes I guess. It's hard to convince myself that he really doesn't care. But I guess I should believe him since he isn't prone to lying! I sort of feel like a bad person since I have

I'm sure there's lots of things to love about you if you'd only just look. I'm sure your husband sees them all the time. Yes, he does. I am blessed with an especially sweet and loving husband. Focusing on the positive is exactly what I'm trying to do. Thanks for sharing the song! And the thing women hate most about men! We become distinguished. They (in their eyes) fall apart. Exactly!!! <img src

I was also touched, and am at a loss for words. It is wonderful to be able to see "good" in an otherwise tragic event.

Sort of puts things in perspective...makes me realize how small a part we play in history. It also helps me realize that every day is special. Thanks for sharing.

Small boobs, love handles, wide thighs...big mouth, need for approval, selfishness...the list goes on and on... 2 of my 12 articles are about my insecurity with my own body. Pretty sad. I don't really think about it most of the time, but every once in awhile the nasty though pops back up. Why do we have to constantly compare ourselves?!? Somedays I find mysel

I probably should be offended. But in twenty years of marriage these are the only two things he’s ever really put his foot down about. It has more to do with his role as provider/protector than anything else I guess. He was raised to believe certain areas belong to the man, and if a woman usurps it, well her man must not be taking care of the family. My husband is like that too. He is generally a fairly modern man. Even does most of the cooking these

I am not very well endowed. When I was little I remember playing dress up and I would stuff my dresses to look like a woman. My mom told me, "Don't worry, you'll get some soon enough." I'm still waiting. I have something . I don't have unboobs. But after the initial sprout, there hasn't been much growth. For awhile I pretend

West Texas/Panhandle is a veritable desert in more ways than one. I agree with you that it is better not to go to church than to attend one where people are not so great examples of Christianity. I'll be praying that you will be able to find fellowship soon.

Just wanted to say hi. I've been out for awhile with computer trouble and I just spent the last 20 minutes catching up on your articles...now my brain's too tired to come up with a good comment. Buon Giorno!

The compression marks on the washer suggested that the valve seat was concave, not flat. correct convex washer I'm obviously one of these people as I have no idea what any or the above quotes are talking about. However, I am smart enough to know not to do it myself. So I leave it to my husband and if he doesn't know we ask one of our father. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/ju/T_JU/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 align

But I knew (but was unwilling to admit at the time) other people would give me "the look." I wouldn't be received warmly because I was flaunting the unwritten rules of that church. And what's really bad is every person in the church would say if asked individually..."Don't worry about what to wear. Just come." I guess the only thing we can really do is change ourselves, and gently challenge the general perceptions. Things are changing slowl
