    Confused about what denomination

    I just want to add that Eastern Orthodox is in full communion with Rome. That may alleviate some of your concerns. I believe you owe it to yourself to have a conversation with a RC Priest and voice your concerns. They should be able to help. There is also, nothing saying you can not attend Mass...

    Age at which you think you STOPPED getting spanked

    Never spanked. I dont think it teaches anything, except that hitting is ok when you are upset with someones behavior.

    Poll: Were you spanked?

    Im in the not spanked camp. I was never hit. I dont want to get too serious, but I do not think it is a good parenting practice. Its not necessary to keep the discipline.

    Obama and the Teleprompter

    If these videos are meant in jest, then disregard my comments. But it seems they are meant to showcase the shortcomings of the President. I only watched the first two, just so you know what I am commenting on. Regardless of our feelings for the President. He is a human being, people make...

    Eating off your plate?

    Growing up, my sister was all over my plate. So I despise when she takes food from it. Because she never once asked, it was very irritating. It doesnt bother me when my Sig. O. takes food off of my plate. But I usually offer some to them so there is not stealing
