a. We’re family, simple as that.
b. The closeness or distance of the family relationship I have with the person who is asking.c. Because it’s expected of me.
d. The amount of money that he or she is asking for.e. The probability of it being repaid to me.f. He or she has loaned me money in the past.g. I have plenty, I can afford it, and I won’t miss it.h. I would feel awkward, uneasy, and/or guilty saying no.i. It would depend on the severity of the reason for needing a loan.j. Everyone else in the family has declined to float the loan.k. Leverage.l.

I figure that made Trump's children jelly for a couple of reasons. One of the reasons was because their father usally doesn't praise them like that. And the other reason is that they know that they are yesterdays news and Rittenhouse is the talk of the town so their father will be spending a lot of time with him. I figure Trump is just using Rittenhouse as a tool in his fight against democracy. Cheers and happy weekend! less

So I have been thinking of putting a little Play-doh on the spring of his Rock Em Sock Em Robot then push the head back down. That will make it next to impossible for his sister to knock the block of his robot and he will start feeling better. Cheers and happy weekend!

We just got a call from him and he let us know that they sold their house in BC and moved to Nova Scotia and bought 5 acres of lake front property for $10.000. The only bad part is they are now a 6 day drive away from us instead of 8 hours. Cheers!

My husband hates his first name, but it was also his dad’s grandpa’s and great-grandpa’s first name. My husband told me he already had that shouting match with his dad by the time he was 12. My F-I-L was also upset because we didn’t get our sons circumcised. My own mom disagrees with us about spanking and LGBTQIA issues, but she supports all of our other parenting decisions, such as what we don’t let the kids watch on TV. less
