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.

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.

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.

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.
