Hey guys, I don't know if any of you have experience with this, but we're in a bind and need advice. My grandparents have two adult daughters, both of whom live in the same town, about two hours (on a horrible road) away from them. My grandparents ' siblings are all either dead, moved far...

I know a lot of you have mission parish experience, so I thought I would throw this situation out to TAW and solicit (actually beg for) advice: A couple of years ago, a friend of ours who is a priest started a mission parish in a suburb of a nearby city. The city has multiple Orthodox...

We gave our nine-month-old his first biter biscuit this week, and he threw up. We thought it was caused by something else (there has been a bug going around) but then we noticed that he has thrown up all three times he's had a biter biscuit, and otherwise hasn't puked in months. Has this...

Woohoo! I'm posting this from my field's national conference, where I just gave a presentation that went very well. After that, I had a meeting with a publisher who asked me to write a book!!!!! I'm not sure I'll have time, will have to talk to some higher-ups to see, but it's very neat and...

We'll be in Pittsburgh this weekend (actually Thursday-Sunday), and we're looking for a church to attend. Of course, it goes without saying that the best choir will be in the Slavic tradition (:P at MosestheBlack) but there are a bunch o' Slavic churches up there to choose from. So, those...

So, during a normal church service, one of two things happens: either my husband and I pass the baby back and forth throughout the service, or one of us holds the baby while the other goes to read/sing/etc. But I'm not sure how this is gonna work for Forgiveness Vespers. It just seems like...

:mad: So I'm presenting this paper at the Most Important Conference of My Life in about a month. The paper is due, in its final form, in about a week. I finished it in early December, two months before the deadline. I then sent a note to my dissertation advisor, who wanted to read it over...

Just what the title says. We're looking for a way to help a struggling mission, and I was thinking that a good way to do it (since we don't live in the immediate area and can't do much real evangelism on their behalf) would be to donate a website, since they don't have one. I know there's a...

Let me preface this by saying I do intend to talk to my priest about this, but since he's a man, and all his children are male, I'm not even sure he's aware of this. Plus, it's 10pm and it would be rude to call. So a commercial for the new HPV vaccine was on TV just then, and I asked my...

Hey everyone, I have a few questions, some practical, and some moral. We just got back from visiting some family for the holidays, and they have a two-week-old baby. So, she was nine days old when we got there for the visit. Anyway, the baby slept probably 22 hours a day (this is not an...

Hey everyone, I'd like to get my husband a copy of, Genesis, Creation and Early Man by Fr. Seraphim Rose for Christmas, but it is proving very hard to find. Neither amazon nor bookfinder have it, and it's not on the St. Herman press website, so I'm guessing it's out of print. So, if anyone...

I know doctor's wives sometimes refer to being a "doctor's widow," because they don't see their husbands much. Lately I feel like a church widow, but I'm not sure what (if anything) to do about it. My husband works Monday-Saturday 7:30-4:30, and I teach Monday-Thursday 6-9pm, so one of us is...

Hi :wave: I'm looking for recordings and/or sheet music for Ethiopian versions of "By the Rivers (waters) of Babylon" for a project I'm working on. Also, does anyone know if there's an Ethiopian church in Cincinnati, or anywhere near there? Thanks!

I've heard that in New Zealand, wrapping crib mattresses (as well as bassinet and regular bed mattresses, wherever baby sleeps) in a certain type of plastic has drastically cut down on SIDS deaths. Anyone have experience doing this?

Hi everyone, When my son was born by c-section I learned that part of my uterus is dangerously thin, and had been damaged during labor (which is why I had to have the c-section--I had lost too much blood from the defect). Anyway, what that means for us is that we need to wait a while (2 years...

Okay, my in-laws just left. They're not the most involved parents in the world, and just now bothered to come visit their now six-week-old grandson. But I've accepted that. But get this: Yesterday, I wore loose cotton pants, a dark tank top, and a white frilly button-up shirt over it, with...

While I was pregnant, and ever since, we've been getting formula samples in the mail. We've got probably a month's worth of each of three different formula brands. Our son is allergic to milk, so we can't use any of them. I hate to throw away what amounts to probably $75 worth of formula, but...

Two weeks ago, I had my son via emergency c-section for several reasons, one of which was i was bleeding a lot starting the day before he was born. It turns out the bleeding was caused by a thin spot in my uterus. The OB who performed the section (my OB was out of town) told me about it...

This may be stupid, but do you think dogs know when you're about to have a baby? Our dog is acting super-strange, sticking right to me, and won't even go for a walk (her favorite thing) unless I come too. I'm due any time. Could she know this?
