I'm Japanese (origin) Canadian: So here's a Japanese joke: There was a Japanese man who went to America for sightseeing. On the last day, he hailed a cab and told the driver to drive to the airport. During the journey, a Honda drove past the taxi. Thereupon, the man leaned out of the window...

Family Tree Maker is terrific. My wife just bought a copy of it because that's what several family members use to do log their genealogical research records.

I am of Japanese descent. 3rd generation Japanese-Canadian. I'm just wondering if there are any other Japanese Christians interested in genealogy who are researching their family tree and what sort of roadblocks the new Japanese legislation regarding koseki tohon is doing for genealogical...

SadFella, don't feel like you're alone. My dad and my mother were the same carbon copy of your parents. When I got old enough, I was bigger than my dad and I faced him down (with threats of violence) if he threatened me ever again. From the time I was 18 to the time I was 35, he didn't dare...

Never ever say these two things to an emotional/verbal/psychologically abused person: 1. If you weren't sexually/physically abused, you don't have anything to be whining about. Words can cut as deeply as blows and rape and worst of all they leave NO scars. 2. If you were being abused...why...

I really hated the "Well, you seem to be doing OK?" WELL...IF I WAS DOING OK!!! YOU THINK I'D BE IN THERAPY????!!!!! Or maybe that's just my male aggression coming out. :D ~survived 20 years of emotional/verbal abuse from my parents and 19 years of recovering before I could forgive and move on.

That is a gorgeous B-25 Mitchell, Trento. I love the finish on it. :wave: I'd love to get into R/C, but finances are too tight for that. With photography and scale plastic models (I build modern jets and the occasional WWII a/c). Bob, it seems plastic kits are becoming prohibitively...

Who's being emotional? What you're saying without typing it, is that because Abuse has been with us since time began and will be with us until time ends..."what can we really do about it"? So you are in reality sticking your head in the sand. What are YOU as a social worker going to do about...

The simple fact is that emotional abuse is more insidious than most abuses because most of the perpetrators are smart enough to not cross the line between verbal/emotional abuse to physical/sexual abuse; and the ones who are stupid enough to do so get caught. In your cases KCKID and lawtonfogle...

:)Thank you...

Watch out for the Westjet 737-300s though. I hear their pilots fly like ex-fighter pilots (was on one of their flights from Edmonton to YVR).

Lucky you. I've been doing most of my civil aviation photography with a 70-300 f/4-5.6. I've been drooling over the opportunity to get a Tamron 200-500mm f/5.6-6.3. Of course, I've also been praying (I know...I know...I shouldn't pray for material things) for a 400/2.8 and a 600/4. :D...

What's the difference between a trumpet and a chain saw? Vibrato, though you can minimize this difference by holding the chain saw very still. What is a gentleman? Somebody who knows how to play the trumpet, but doesn't. What's the difference between trumpet players and government bonds...

It is less quantifiable, less provable, and more subjective because there are no visible scars. The scars manifest in behavioral problems that are common to any demographic in society. And verbal "history" is not able to be upheld in court. All a person has to do is "deny" it happened and...

I'm sorry, but as a family member (my wife is Laci's second cousin, twice removed), I still say that Scott got what he deserved. Forgive me, Lord, but I will believe that to my dying day.

rdonovan, there's a lot of good advice in these replies. When I read your post, I immediately related to you, because I was stuck in the "anger-hatred-bitterness" mode for well over 30 years (10 years of which I couldn't get away because I was under-age). My parents called me "worthless" just...

yguy, please understand that when you have had that kind of "hate" aimed at you for years and years, it takes quite sometime before you can actually "forgive" the person. Sometimes it takes quite a long time before you come to grips with your own self-worth. It took me over 30 years before I...

:clap:*drool*. Love those pics.

Boss, I'm jealous. The Blues never come up to Abbotsford anymore.:cry: If they would come up over the 49th to Abbotsford, you can be sure I'd be SO there. :prayer: Those pics are beautiful. You shoot with a 2.8 telephoto?
