I agree -- you wrote what the Bible teaches -- and i too am sure it is more than we can imagine or understand now. Why the OP would be so interested in opinions rather than the truth is rather curious to me....

AMEN!!!..................great post.....
Amen Sister! She is totally unrealistic! Totally. Loved your post! sm
My grandparents (from VT), will tell you that my grandfather began farming at 6-7 under the supervision of his 10 year old brother. haha No major incidents - his mother tended the home and ran a nursery and she did have the siblings watch over each other. I didn't even think about all of this until you mentioned the farming post. I loved it!
I, for one, need plenty of sleep - so I must work during the day while they are here...Oops, I gottah go! My 2 year old just fell off the kitchen table.
just kidding
All good points, good post. (nm)

good post
I adopted shelter pets....my daughter and I both wish we could bring them all home and donate to humane society. If I had the money, I would buy a ranch and take in neglected animals.
good post..sm
I wholeheartedly agree with what you just said 100 percent, except that God also wants us to live by his commandments, which means Thou Shalt Not Kill; and also taking one day a week to honor only him, to sing his praises, and to rest. So many people think of the weekend as their time off from their duties in life, but forget to honor god. He also wanted us to honor the original religious holidays, and I am not referring to Easter and Christmas, which are man made holidays, not holy days. God was referring to the religious Holy days written into the Torah. A lot of people have no knowledge of that either. I also agree there are going to be an awful lot of ticked off people when Jesus returns. I only hope, and I mean hope, that I will be counted among those he receives as his own. I try my best, but I also know that I am a sinner, as no man is exempt from being one. I have been born again, but sometimes fall short of what god wants us all to be. Bless you for having the courage to say what you said.
Good post.
While it's politically incorrect to even mention race (other than ''white'' as the other poster mentioned) or country of origin (other than American), the families of the slaughtered students probably don't think this is the time for political correctness. It is naieve to assume that everyone who comes to this country does so out of love for this country or respect for American culture/way of life. It is also foolish to assume that parents do not impart their own beliefs to their children. And 8 year-olds are not just hatched from the egg--they HAVE been to school and HAVE been somewhat influenced by their families and culture by that age. And they CONTINUE to be influenced by their family. Some immigrants are motivated to come here strictly for economic reasons but hold onto the cultural attitudes of their country of origin. A love for one's country does not necessarily occur by osmosis -- it is shaped and influenced by family attitudes and home environment no matter what the country of origin. A recent NY Times article cited a poll taken in which a majority of South Koreans expressed trust for the North Korean president more than the American government. While, apparently, nobody anywhere has any use for Pres.Bush anymore, that's still some gratitude after so many of our soldiers have died over the years defending their country. No, this political correctness and assumption that every person who relocates here does so out of love for the USA is sheltered, naieve and damaging to our country.
Good post
I had a panic attack in February, my first and hopefully my last. I agree that medication is not a good long-term solution, but my doctor gave me about 14 days' worth Klonopin. Just enough to give me a chance to catch my breath (literally). Then I started exercising again and did the deep breathing he recommended. When I went back after 6 weeks, he asked if I wanted any meds to keep on hand and I told him no. If I needed it, I would call him.
I hope your doctor can help you like mine helped me, because even though my attack was a one-time thing, nothing chronic like you seem to be having, I know it wasn't anything I want to go through again. Good luck to you!
good post.

Good post
What I'm thinking is.....it does not matter if you are black, white, pink, purple whatever....people grieve in different ways....and if somebody falls out....starts screaming......it might be the fact that they are finally realizing that this is a loved one that they will never see again....
Thanks for this post OP; all in good fun.
We go with not so traditional and I think it's great! Thanks again! 
good post
I agree with everything you said... life is too short to sweat the small stuff. . My mom used to call me at times when I was trying to work and I would get a little aggravated but I always talked to her - I remembered the song that said "don't rush off the phone when your mama calls- you ain't that busy". . anyway, she has been gone nearly a year and I would love to have her call me again. . . There is nothing wrong with taking time for yourself but you are the only mother your children will ever have and they do need you, even if you (and they) think they don't. .
good post
good post - I think you were very wise in handling your teen driver the way you did - looking back, I wish we had done the same with our daughter. . We bought her a very old car and she was responsible for the gas - we paid insurance - rules were if you get a speeding ticket, the car will be taken for a period of time - didn't say how long - that never happened. . if caught drinking in the car, keys taken away forever. .that didn't happen either. . She did have a couple of minor accidents - the first during a rain storm at a very low speed, the second was when a deer jumped out in front of her car. . no injuries either time - except to the deer! She was allowed to have one other person in the car with her for first 6 months. . I believe that was probably not a good thing - should have had no others with her for at least 6 months - they also need all kinds of driving experience, night driving, inclement weather, etc. . It takes a while to get the experience they need to react correctly. . it's hard, because they are so eager to drive and so sure they are good drivers. . but it is our job to protect them. .
Good post - sm
I was fearful of owning a pitbull until I got mine too.
I have also learned that, by the majority, the pitbulls that tend to be aggressive are usually the females.
The same is true with a lot of breeds of dogs. Cats too. The females are more aggressive.
Good post again Misha.......no msg
good post Misha!!! And to OP, know you're a better
My mother's floors you could eat off of back then - and we all were scared (terrified) of her.....my house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy...*S* .....I think Misha's post said it all and by all means, she posted it for you to utilize when you decide to confront hubby on these issues....
Best of luck.....from an equalist who, when my ex did a white glove test, I got so mad, I handed him the dust cloth and product(s) and told him, if he wasn't happy to do it himself..........'nuff said....*lol*... and him being the passive-aggressive a** that he was - I ended up divorcing him after nearly 14 years and thinking I should have been sainted for staying THAT long....never regretted one minute away from that either........been nearly 16 yrs....
that's OK, it's only my 2nd post on this website, I need to think of a good moniker!nm

I would like to publically thank my son for his 17 years in the military - his sacrafices in Bosnia and Iraq. I pray for ALL of the families who have relatives serving that make this the good old USA!

AMEN
I, too, have been in similar situation, is actually an ongoing thing. Niece goes from one loser to the next because she gets an SSI check - refuses to listen to anyone and if I say too much, they keep the babies from me. Best to just let it ride, enjoy the little boy and pray for Stacy.
AMEN
I agree. It will be Merry Christmas for me until I die, hopefully not at the hands of Christian persecutors. This world has gone absolutely bonkers - make my sick to think about it. Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and yours and everybody else on this board.

This was exactly what I was trying to get across, but a lot longer and more informative. Thanks for posting this.
I wanted to add that I have known tons of aggressive cocker spaniels. One even attacked my friend's golden when they were walking the other day down the street. They have a lot of pent up energy and they just go nutso some times.
My point was that it can always be any breed and that the media has made people believe Pits are dangerous.
Amen to that! NM

amen!
Love that song skeeter davis sang. Also Waylon Jennings "Women do know how to carry on" (don't spend too much crying time alone).
Amen
to that! I went to therapy for a while and was trying to work on my self-esteem. My therapist said that he was the one with self-esteem issues in that he needed someone to constantly be boosting his ego. She hit that one right on the head!
Amen to that!
I know what you mean. 20+ years. Feel like I can't stand it any more. At least I know I have a kindred spirit.
AMEN!

AMEN!!!!

Amen to that!
My husband would prefer to lie to them but I refuse. The schools have all sorts of "informational" programs out there but, as in the case of my kids, the kids don't care about someone telling them not to do it if they have never done it themselves.
An honest personal experience and description of the consequences is what the kids need and want. THAT will prevent a lot of the trouble out there.
I let my kids know I am not proud of my past but I want to prevent them from having some of the bad experiences I had because of my own stupidity and lack of information.
Amen

My Simon used to sleep on my foot pedal and fast forward it!
AMEN!
My husband cannot stand him. He said he is too emo and weird looking. I think his screaming is very annoying too.
Amen to that. sm
I remember from the age of 20 to 25 being single, living alone and envying my married friends because they had someone at home who cared if they made it home or not. I didn't. Now that I am married and have that now, I sometimes envy my single friends because they get to go wherever or whenever, they go to fancy resturants (can't do that with 2 young kids), they get to go to movies that aren't G-rated lol, Yes, I could get pay a babysitter but my kids are still young and they want time with their mama. They have had to go to a babysitter since they were babies when I worked. I know I will miss this too. they won't be littel forever, they will grow up and have to focus on themselves and not have as much time for mama then I will be wanting them back home with me. I do think I waste way too much time dwelling on things I don't have and not see the wonderful I do have.
