Shelly, it is ok. But when you start a thread like that you are opening yourself up to disagreement

And as a fellow Christian, I cannot just sit by and watch what I think is a misrepresentation of the faith without stating my point of view. You certainly can believe whatever you choose to believe, but as long as you are posting it in a public forum and presenting yourself as someone who represents my faith as well, I will respond when I disagree, not to give you a hard time, but to represent my faith as I think it should be as well.

This will start a thread about who does not like her
but I was reminded when I saw your post about seeing Sylvia Browne in person 1 time. She said if someone toxic, no matter who they were, your own son, you should exclude them. I truly believe this to be the case.
Let's start a why do they thread!
Why do they make spice jar openings to small for a measuring spoon?
Why to they pkg 8 hot dogs and then pkg 6 buns? you never catch up!
Why does yellow mustard opening plug up and when you shake it, it squirts yellow oil?
Why do credit card cos send blank checks through the mail, forcing you to open all of it?
okay next?
Similar disagreement
with mine tonight, except he thought it was hilarious to talk over me. Men are weird.
Shelly, what would you do if your son
or daughter came to you and told you they were gay? Would you disown them, preach that they are sinners, or love them just the way they are? My bet is that you would disown them.
Not shelly...... sm
so please don't bash me for answering. While I have never been in that situation and pray I never am, I would like to think that I love my son enough to continue loving him. However, I would let him know that I do not approve of his choice of lifestyle and, more importantly, neither does God. God loves us all and wants us to come to him, warts and all. He will take care of the warts if we allow him. I would like to think that I love my own child as much.
Also to YOU: Fead the whole thread. Do not jump in in the middle of a thread:
You will experience the bad side effects of Xanax, when you try to stop the intake of Xanax. Honestly, don't you notice that you are increasing the dosage on your own?
It is not a sleeping pill, it is an anxiolytic, it is supposed to lessen anxiety.
What are you so anxious about?
Try not to take it this evening, you'll see that you cannot or don't want to.
It is a highly addictive drug.
Another addicted person?
Read the whole thread, not Fead the whole thread, ..oops!..nm

Bingo, Shelly!
Train up a child in the way he SHOULD go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
More parents need to do this and quit throwing their kids to the wolves.
For those people with school aged children when do vacations start to dwindle and you start getting
ready for school. I usually take a vacation when things slow down at the end of Summer and I am just wondering when in August most people start getting into school things and less vacations are taken.
Opening gifts
I don't have kids, but when the nieces and nephews on one side open gifts, it is this chaotic scramble, everybody opening at once. That's not how we did it when I was a kid, or on my side of the family today, and I really feel it cheapens it. I don't get to see these kids often, and it would be so enjoyable to have each one open a gift with the rest of us looking on, to see the reaction, talk about the gift, hear the thank-you at the time the gift is received so they comprehend who gave them what. Otherwise, what's the point? Might as well just bring in a dump truck and dump a bunch of stuff on them. I want interaction, not noise.
Is that so wrong?
I heard Kohl's opening 4 a.m. too. No thanks.

Little singer at opening ceremony. sm
I thought it was very obvious that there were several not 16. It has to be harder to be in puberty, developed, to flip around like they do.
In addition to that, Brian Williams did a story about the Chinese little girl that sang in the opening ceremony. She was lip synching - the real little girl that was singing was not "physically pleasing" enough to get the credit for singing. I think she was actually singing live too and held backstage or in the background.
And if you open it up for her to teach them her way, then you are opening it up to all (sm)
That means people who are homophobic or racist can also teach children their point of view? There has to be a line drawn somewhere.
the overstated usefulness of opening up
Leave this poor kid alone!
I would absolutely be humiliated if I was your kid being recommended medicine for not talking to some country school counselor about my public vomiting.
Not using the entire bottle of something and just opening full ones! SM
I have quite a collection of shampoo bottles with about 3/4 inch in the bottom!! Makes me mad at myself!
I started tearing up at the opening credits!
I love this show. I know it's time for it to go, but it's always been one of my favorites.
In MHO when they start asking its time to start explaining.
My daughter and I started discussing the basics in like second or third grade.
Good luck it was much harder for me with my son.
What a fun thread!

well, there is another thread concerning AI--sm
up above that seems far more abrasive and negative, to me anyway. Guess I just don't get it.
There is a thread further down about this.

We're not going to fight over religion or Christmas or Santa or Christ on this board.

On another thread on this board....
someone made the comment about giving girls a false sense of security and not getting PAPs and physicals because they got the vaccine. That was something I hadn't thought about previously.
I was talking about this with a friend of mine and we got on the subject of DES that was given to prevent miscarriages and preterm labor in the 50s and 60s and the side effects that came from it. I googled DES and the one website has a copy of an old ad that states "recommended for routine prophylaxis in ALL pregnancies" with a picture of a smiling baby above the statement. We all know how that turned out!
States have made all kinds of vaccines mandatory for admittance to kindergarten, but there are ways around it, such a religious exemption. I have another friend whose kids have had NONE of their childhood immunizations. I'm not saying I agree with anything that drastic, but her kids are in school.
it was? I see the thread below...admin says
The administrator just the other day (somewhere below in the threads) said we can talk about anything here except *MT work, politics or religion* and said *anything else is fine* in subject line or name line.
I'm not the one who started the thread but
I posted a reply on another thread about infidelity. I told the poster that what she was doing was wrong, to take a cold shower and pray about what was doing.
Regina (yeah, she uses her name in her entire email address) emailed me about how wrong I was, don't have a conscience, and stuff.
I saw her name here on this thread.
I'm just telling her to STOP EMAILING ME.
This thread or the shedding?!
LOL!
right now, that former thread is on page 2

Confessions thread....
I think i'm depressed.
Downer thread
This happened outside the movie theater we went to on yesterday.
The guy tied a rope around his neck and the other end around a pole.
I have never heard of anyone doing it that way!

What happened to just doing it in your garage?
As I posted in another thread,
I just love old cars, especially ones that are funny, unusual, or just pretty. I don't care about engines - I am a girl - so it's all about looks, and a little about the funny old-fashioned sounds they made. But still - cars! So while I would be happy to collect little toy/model cars, I have had to control the urge because I'm supposed to want to collect pretty dishes and glasswear or teapots or something, and none of that stuff interests me. I don't care what it's worth if it doesn't capture my imagination.
I do sort of collect books on gardening though, and they must have many, many color pictures.
Regarding prayer thread below (sm)
For those who responded about it being wrong to pray and that they were going to know have to have a Bible beside their Dorland's....how closed minded are you? We have freedom of religion in this country - should we take away our freedoms now? If two people of any religion want to pray in this country they are free to do so as long as it does not impose their beliefs on anyone else. Asking a Transcriptionist to type "we prayed" is asking him or her to document the happenings during the office visit just like everything else is documented. I am sure the doctor already knew of the patient's religion and they were both of the same religion - the doctor did not impose anything on this patient. I believe everyone is free to worship or not worship as their own beliefs dictate....you cannot take away that right - this is America - right now we still have freedoms here that many countries don't have the luxury of having....please don't try to take our rights away!! I would gladly transcribe any report mentioning any religion if that is what the doctor dictated because being fair and having freedom means that we don't judge anyone's religion, whether we believe they are right or not. If you are not religious, that is also your choice. I recently typed a chart where a woman was using the alignment of the stars to determine the best time for her to have surgery....I typed it like the doctor said it, because that is my job, and I did not judge her, because that is not my right.
seems that is why they are all here on this tired old thread.
it's come here or turn on each other !!
NOW THERE'S A VISUAL. LOL
You came in late on this thread so I
do not expect you to understand what was said. The person said they had no work at her full time job but sitting waiting on it? Then there was a part time job and finally full time school. Well, duh, why starve to "wait on work to show up" or stay full time in school when you can put together 2, 3 or 4 jobs and then there is full time pay.
Then why did you post on this thread below?
Why not just ignore the post? Most folks were just talking about what the OP asked about, and not really bringing politics or attacks into the thread. You incited an attack typical of ones on the politics board, which is exactly why many don't go there. For a lot of people, tomorrow is about more than politics for a variety of reasons.
The thread about the inauguration??
x
This whole thread is uncalled for
and you are no better than the ESLs. In fact, they are doctors and you are just an MT.
I posted in your thread below too, but
you need to get to a lawyer NOW (they will set up a payment plan, don't worry about that right now. If not, they will refer you to someone who can help you cheaper or free. Just GO.), and you need to file for divorce first. And you need to STAY PUT in the house with your kids. They'll make him leave, not you. He's freakin' nuts. You're married. It doesn't matter if your name is on the house or not, it's half yours. I've been where you are.... prepare yourself & be proactive.
See the thread below about businesses that are and aren't

They moved your thread and not my answer
I think it is Vanessa Carlton. Can't remember the name of the song now.
Because the rest of the thread was compromised & only the OP

From reading the whole thread, I now feel
very sorry for you and your family. I wish you had posted all your thoughts at the start. You are honestly one of the lone MTs who work at home for - no reason other than to stay away from coworkers, really is the sum of your logic. You obviously feel children are worthless burdens, along with housework of any sort, or caring for your family. So go out and earn the big $$ - guess you couldn't hack competing with the men in the corporate world. Obviously. Seems a pity, as you get to sit at home and hate everything related to home and family, while other poor humans drag their tired selves out the door every morning to earn a living, counting the minutes until they can return home, exhausted, and catch a minute or 2 of their kids and family life before passing out from exhaustion. Such is life...
LOL You think the person who started the thread
LOL
Bringing up the thread on NY bagels
before it gets * pruned *
I have a dumb question - - - - what makes a NY bagel so great??? I would think it is just bread dough formed in a circle....like I get at Albertson's or Safeway or Ralph's.
I'm so glad you started this thread
As I'm off today and can look up my comfort stuff and share and I know you'll like this one:
In C.S. Lewis's novel "Til We Have Faces," a character on the verge of meeting the "god of the Mountain" reasons bluntly with another, "Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home?
For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back." Elsewhere Lewis reasons similarly, "At present we are on the outside of the world, the wrong side of the door. We discern the freshness and purity of the morning, but they do not make us fresh and pure.
We cannot mingle with the splendours we see.
In the distance between what we see now and what we shall ONE DAY see is the longing that reminds us of home.
Some day, God willing, WE SHALL GET IN!
answer to your query is in this very thread....
Ahhh yes. I just posted in the thread below actually
about my experience freshman year of college. I went off to college, my boyfriend from the spring/summer went off to a different college (me to Illinois, him to USC!). Didn't take long before he bought a motorcycle, snuck back to Illinois on it, dropped out of USC, starting going to another school only an hour from me. One thing led to another, we kept traveling back and forth between our two schools and barely went to class, I had the experience I posted about below, and ended up leaving school. Twenty-eight years later, we have been married for 24 years but have big, big, big regrets about how we handled college. Boy, it would have been so much better to have not had that attachment when going off to school. This is the time to explore all opportunities, so I would say a broken heart right now is probably the better choice. It will heal, new opportunities will come along. If the relationship is meant to be, they will find their way back to one another down the road, but they both need to realize the importance of college and not let anything come in the way of that.
did you read the thread below "I feel bad for him too but (sm)" by OP nm
nm
Here here! Great thread Luv to Laugh! Thanks!
 
The OP stated below in the thread that started this whole
conversation that he says he has told her "everything" he knows. If that's the case, then why not tell her about his education. She loves him, for Pete's sake. He does sound like a wonderful man. I just don't understand the secretiveness. It's not like she is a casual acquaintance. This is the person he has chosen to spend his life with, so why not share his life with her. My husband didn't even finish high school but he didn't mind sharing it with me. Maybe we're just strange, but that's the way it is at our house (been married almost 30 years). 
Sorry to remove some messages, but thread ran off then end

good-going parents thread...
Did you see on the news this morning where a mother made a sign for her son to wear in front of his school that said something like, "I'm stupid. I was driving over 100 miles per hour. I could have killed myself and my friends."
The report also said there was another sign on his car that said, "For Sale".
They interviewed the boy and he admitted that he was stupi*d driving like that.
Cheers to that MOM!!!!!
Another smokers' vent thread
**this is a vent***
Have you ever been lectured about smoking in person?
There is not a smoker in America who does not know that smoking is bad for you and a terrible habit. I really don't need to hear it again.
Last week I was in a smoking area (well away from a building, mind you) and a passerby from out of nowhere decided to tell me that cigarettes are unhealthy. No. Really? Wow!
A friend's son also decided to share this new info with me too. His mom didn't tell him to shush, either (he saw cigarettes in my purse, I wasn't smoking in his presence.) To me, that's rude. It's like asking an adult with a glass of wine at lunch if he's an alcoholic, or a chubby person not to eat so many ding dang doughnuts.
I would never have DREAMED of commenting on one of my parent's friend's habits, and one of them stuffs used Kleenex down the sides of sofas.
It makes me want to say "yes, but they're coooooool, Bobby".
