    lonely nights

    As far as most nights alone... a glass of wine while surfing the net; crafts; i don't watch tv much but maybe a fave tv show. Some housework that is difficult to do during the day with a 17mth old (like ironing- not that i do it much though :P haha) But every so often I get those nights where...

    how do you explain an absent father?

    The OP is quite old now but I think there's great advice here for all single parents facing this situation. My daughter is turning 18months soon (tomorrow, actually) so obviously no questions yet... but I already have a bit of a plan for when they arise. I will tailor the actual answers i give...

    When Do You Tell Them...?

    TexasSky has some great advice. If he hasn't asked any questions yet, it may because there is something holding him back. Maybe a kid at school has said something like "you don't have a daddy because he hates you" and it's too hurtful for him to bring it up incase it's true. Or maybe a...

    Looking for a female, to meet a need/want, acceptable?

    I think i understand you... like will a woman be offended if the man is attracted by the idea of "wife" more than the person herself? When i was younger, i never dreamt of a big fancy wedding, i didnt have my bridesmaids dresses picked out when i was 8yrs old like my sister. I used to say that...

    Allah or Jesus?

    Hear, hear! :clap: It really annoys me when ppl here give Muslims or even middle eastern looking ppl a hard time because of the actions of a few... Christians have done horrid things in the name of religion too! Before 9/11 there was the IRA!! But because Christianity is a lot 'closer to...

    Skirts for Men??

    I have to say, I have always found the "men wear pants and women wear skirts for modestys sake" thinga little backward (i dont mean primitive, i mean, the wrong way round!!) To paraphrase a comedy book i read once ("The Log" by Craig Charles from 'Red Dwarf') kilts are the manliest thing...

    Music and movies with profanity and so on......

    Well, i can't tell you if it's right or wrong. I still listen to music with off lyrics or PG/R rated movies/tv shows sometimes. I do try and be careful though. I especially avoid any songs which have really bad lyrics that i might get stuck in my head, coz that's the last thing i want, some...

    Do you tithe even though you are not gaining net profit as a student?

    It's kind of funny that I should come upon this thread, because this really has been something of an issue for me lately. I want to tithe but I'm not quite ready. As horrible as it sounds, I'm not quite ready yet to trust my finances to God. I spend over 60% of my income on rent. And i only...

    Funny joke I heard on ABC newsradio

    teehee, that was funny! To the people who found it offensive... I think maybe you need to calm down and re-read the joke. It is not suggesting that an Aborigine from thousands of years ago would have eaten 'the evil serpent who tempted Adam and Eve' specifically and therefore is evil. But an...
