I have some $.90 books from the thrift store, a new bath robe and some chilled whine for a night reading in bed. My husband and I both only have one more day of work this week and we may be kid free on Saturday. We get a kid free Saturday together (his parents take them on Saturday about once...

La-a is a myth. I'm kind of a name nerd and used to belong to a baby names message board that was all about mocking bad baby names. I do not like creative names of alternate spellings (unless they're legitimate, like Rebekah). It makes things really hard on kids and on official records.

The blatant publicity of their lives is a huge part of what bothers me about them. I'm bothered by the children raising the younger children, I'm bothered by the risks they take with Michelle's body and life and these babies lives. At some point, one has to look at the risks, because they're...

My husband and I both have given our blessing and would remarry and likely rather quickly if one of us died. Marriage has been difficult but it's been a mostly positive experience for us. The thought of the other living alone for the rest of their life out of some sense of obligation makes...

If I report every one of these threads, is it only going to come back on me or anyone else who does the same thing?

No, I'm saying that one can't say "I had the flu shot and got the flu therefor the flu shot causes the flu." I'm not saying that people don't get the flu after getting the flu shot. ETA: Jane, I do not think that you present your experiences as fact. I think that you do just the opposite...

chaz, I am not saying that at all. I'm saying that opinions and experiences should not be presented as fact.

When someone is speaking out of experience, I don't think that there's a need for proof. I'll use an experience *I* had. I have a good marriage I think. I think that I am lucky and blessed to have one. I just started a job and was talking to my co-workers. Mary kept saying "just wait" you...

Edial, can you explain why clearly divisive threads are repeatedly started with no... penalty for the member? (I don't have a better word for it). It picks on autumnleaf right now, but I'd have the same issue with anyone who started threads like "Married Men Deserve Sex" "What do you think of...

My point wasn't that thread. That thread is merely an example of something that I feel causes strife. Prove a statement. If you can not, consider whether or not you (general) should be saying it. STRONGLY consider whether said unfounded statement is divisive.

Cons, I haven't read that thread and won't wade through it. Are you saying that there are others, specifically women, who made statements that they can't or won't back up? If that's the case, they should back them up and they should not make intentionally divisive statements. For me, this is...

But we're not talking about opinions. We're talking about things that you (both you specifically and a general "you") claim to be "facts" or "truth" and how other's are the bad guys and make general statements like "men only want sex". I've never seen anyone say that. If so many of us are...

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that these "groups" are not always the same. I will nearly always at least respect another's view or "truth" with some sort of evidence. I, like anyone else, have my issues where I'm stubborn, but I actually do try to give people the...

I have an honest question: Why is it OK for some of the men to repeatedly post threads of a certain nature (Like Married Men Deserve Sex) KNOWING they're going to get a certain response. They would not be the least bit happy if we started talking about how women "deserve" love and devotion and...

that sounds like macular degeneration(no expert but it sounds like my mom's experience). I will pray.

It was also cold and stormy last night. These are not animals that anyone in Ohio is going to have much training with. There's a well respected wild life preserve very near there and they don't even have the man power for such a thing. This guy shouldn't have had all of those animals and from...

Thank you! It would have taken 2 trained people per animal to handle the situation. Equipment to transport the animals. Animal hospitals with enough room (they wouldn't have taken them to the zoo without being sure they were healthy). SWAT would not have been properly trained. It's not...

8.5 We have a darned good marriage and we love each other and are in love.

Well, I'd say that finding that balance takes both adults in the house. It takes both of us bending and giving and taking and making a point (not being grumpy about it) to enjoy what the other wants to do. Now, I'd never ask him to go to a quilt show with me (that's for my mom and me) and...

dallas, they get one week off. a couple more if they play on Monday night instead.
