    Woman dies after abortion refusal

    This story made me so sad. Since the baby was not to survive, the mother should have been saved. I really wonder why the doctors thought she was not in danger. Anyhow, my thoughts and prayers have been with the husband - he is in a lot of pain, what a sad and difficult turn of events to lose...

    Butter or Margarine?

    Butter all the way! I use more olive oil daily, but I have never bought margarine. I have a funny memory of my younger sister getting the stick of butter and taking a huge bite. I told my daughter that story and now she always wants to taste the butter. We went to breakfast the other day and...

    Why are men offended that women want equality?

    Thank you for this thread! I do not know why men get angry about it, but I find it interesting to read all the responses people have given - less about your question; more about their own rant or agenda. Except for Touma - now that was just funny, and I hope you get your sammich! (I could just...

    The Democratic Safe House (2)

    What about all the "gifts" Obama gave to blacks, Hispanics and young people? Classic Romney 47% - talk about "learning from the past" election!!! Oh wait, republicans didn't want to learn anything??? As a Dem., I am checking my mailbox daily for my free gift, because as O'Reiley said (I only...

    Cool garden ideas

    Thanks for the post and the video. I was confused, though - do you save/replant the part you cut off? Or the rest of the green onion plant? Someone answer me this, and then I will happily try to execute it!

    Who loves thunderstorms?

    I LOVE thunderstorms. We haven't had one in a while, but there is nothing better. Especially when there is lightening too and you can count the seconds with your kids! All that power and majesty in the sky makes me feel closer to God!

    What Movie(s) Are You Eagerly Waiting To See This Year

    Lincoln - Daniel Day Lewis is trans-formative in every role I have seen of his. Also, SKYFALL!!! We need a babysitter so we can go see that movie. I can't believe I have 2 movies I want to see. The last one I saw in theaters was Chimpanzee with my daughter.

    What did the skeleton order...

    What did the skeleton order...when he walked into a diner? (my 4-year old came up with this one) A glass of chocolate milk, and..... a MOP!!! Sorry, I just saw a thread with a ghost joke told by a kid and the parents were wondering, "Where do they come up with this stuff?" which reminded me...

    say one good thing about yourself?

    I am actually a good parent! So far...but I had this creepy feeling that they would not let me leave the hospital with my baby - "This woman and her husband don't know anything about babies or kids!!!" So far daughter is 4 and son is 3 and we are all happy and laughing, so I would say that I...

    Reply with tips please

    I was wondering about this post, too. But I didn't pick up on the husband-issue, although LoveJesusAndGrow makes some interesting points. But I am concerned with you, why you can't find something to occupy your time. Or go play WITH your kids! But you should have some interests, a sense of...

    Rove's Implosion

    Your thread title made me LAUGH! I was picturing ol' ham head (as Stephen Colbert refers to him) literally exploding. Not the actual man, mind you, but the ham head itself blowing up!

    The Democratic Safe House (2)

    I honestly feel like Democrats care about PEOPLE and I have no conflict being a person of faith and liberal. Standing up for social justice issues does more good for humanity and faith. I was nervous last night and also very happy with the result! Nice to find this area of christianforums - I...

    Wrong for Christians to read Dracula?

    I absolutely agree. Well said. Plus, this book is a classic and is in the lexicon, so if you have a chance, you may want to check it out. I was just reading the "banned books list" because it was recently banned books week, and some of the titles on there, like To Kill a Mockingbird are great...

    What is your favorite TV programme

    Game of Thrones! I watched season 1 and then bought the books and they are awesome + made me enjoy the series even more, how they adapted the show from the books to fit the screen. They made some interesting choices that deviated from the books but worked in terms of telling the story...

    What is "goulash" to you?

    My goulash is more of a non-spicy chili. Ground turkey, canned tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, corn, onions and kidney beans. Plus some garlic and spices - whatever I feel like on the day. I eat it with some non-fat cottage cheese on top. Sounds weird when I write it down, but it is making...
