    Catholicism Is Hard

    I am a cradle Catholic (yes, it says Lutheran, but I was attending a Lutheran church and I am personally not able to change it back) having been baptized as an infant by my family. I want out of Catholicism, but there is no way to do that because back in 2009 they made it so you cannot formally...

    Am I wrong to feel upset or maddened by their behavior?

    I have no solutions. I would ask my mom to watch her when she wasn't in school if something required me to not be home. Now that she is in school it's completely different. Nor would I try for full custody. If I lost that battle, the repercussions would be many! She would need to come to that...

    Am I wrong to feel upset or maddened by their behavior?

    I live closest to the school. It's the same distance for my ex-wife as it is for my mom. My daughter goes fro a full day. It is possible for her to care for her, yes. She is home all day every day as she is on disability as is her boyfriend who lives with her. They both have vehicles. She says...

    Am I wrong to feel upset or maddened by their behavior?

    This may be more of a rant than anything, and I am probably preaching to the choir to be honest. If you want to agree or add anything feel free. I posted recently about my sixteen year old’s mom (ex-girlfriend from ten year relationship from before my marriage) giving me a hard time about...

    Child Having Seizures And Her Mother Tells Me No On Coming To See Her

    I have done just that. They said holding off was the right choice. I am going to go up for their spring break for a few days. My girlfriend is going to take a few days off from work and travel with me. Since I am driving, I can use the company on an 18 hour drive. Plus, my kids up there would...

    Child Having Seizures And Her Mother Tells Me No On Coming To See Her

    While incredibly sweet, she will not allow that to happen.

    Child Having Seizures And Her Mother Tells Me No On Coming To See Her

    According to her mom she is upset (if she truly is) that she even told me what was going on. I'm not sure why that is and I don't think now is the time to ask for a reason from my daughter. I did talk with my daughter yesterday, but didn't ask those questions. I do know it doesn't matter what...

    Child Having Seizures And Her Mother Tells Me No On Coming To See Her

    My sixteen year old daughter who lives in Upstate NY had a very bad traumatic brain injury in 2015. Her lasting symptoms from that seem to be a headache and trouble with organization, or so we thought. Tuesday night she had a seizure. Her mom told me about it and I asked if I could go up to see...

    Concerns in finding a church home.

    Because he would not be doing it in faith, which according to Romans 14:23 is sin as it's not done in faith. I do not believe he needs to get baptized again. He has already been baptized once. If it were me I would try to compromise with my wife and not be baptized because some denomination...

    Concerns in finding a church home.

    Does not Romans 14:23 come into play here? If he has an issue with getting baptized again, then it is not of faith and is a sin. Edit: I am not saying that he is wrong in having this issue, just commenting on you saying that it's not a sin to be baptized again.

    How to plan your taxes for maximum benefit.

    What I am trying to tell you is that the amount that I would get each paycheck if I did it your way is miniscule to the refund that I get each year. The amount of interest on my cards doesn't add up to what I get each year either. I still come out way ahead. So, in essence, the government is...

    How to plan your taxes for maximum benefit.

    As I said, other than a normal savings account which doesn't yield anywhere close to what I get in a refund come tax season, everything else is to complicated for me. I don't make much during the year and get all that I paid in and then much more on top of that back in my refund. Oh, I get more...

    How to plan your taxes for maximum benefit.

    Because I like lump sums of money? I don't like investing in things to be honest. That is all to complicated for me to try to understand. Paying into the government throughout the year gets me a large refund come tax season. That I do understand. Besides, what I would save in my paycheck, by...

    How to plan your taxes for maximum benefit.

    I have heard this before, but I much prefer having the maximum taken out each paycheck and getting a lump sum at the end of the year. So I have always claimed 0 on my W4 and always have a nice refund at the end of the year. My refund actually went up over $300 this year. Now, if only my status...

    Update on my daughter issues

    I have given much thought to it, but there is no real good way to say that your mom wanted to be with someone else and so she cheated on me with this other man and ended our relationship to start one with him. My 18 year old is the only one that has made an issue out of it and seems to be really...

    Update on my daughter issues

    It's been a little bit since I updated things on my 18 year old daughter who moved out the day after she turned 18 because I am too controlling. As I mentioned before, she went back to live with her mom and her mom was encouraging her to get a GED. That never happened. She didn't go back to...

    How to Crucify the flesh

    If you're talking about a full food fast, not everyone is able to do that. I have hypoglycemia and cannot go a long time without food.

    Circumcision Poll, To Snip or Not to Snip

    I voted yes and it has nothing to do with religion as to why I voted yes. As an EMT, I have seen too many raging infections in the foreskin of older men, who either forget how to take care of it, or the nursing home that they are in doesn't take care of it properly, which is all too common...

    Does marriage in the eyes of God have to be legalized?

    Blind post here. If the person has SSDI and not SSI (there is a difference) then what the spouse makes has no bearing on whether the disabled person gets a check or not. The spouse can make a million dollars and the disabled spouse will still receive a SSDI check .

    Dinosaurs never existed!

    Thanks, I needed the laugh today! Now, I am going to go play a game that's funnily enough called Ark, where I have to survive on a map with different dinosaurs and some I even get to tame!
