I am forever an advocate for people only having children if and when they are mentally, emotionally, physically, financially and in many other ways prepared to have children. Amen to that, common sense very few have today.

In many cultures it is a sign the cook gave you more than enough. If you clean your plate you would be saying you did not give me enough to eat.
I just wanted to wish Didge a big "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". How do you say that in Australian? (LOL)I am early but I tend to do things before I forget to do them if that makes any sense.

As it was explained to me many years ago in a very steamy jungle after many, many years of meetings and negotiations the major "organized religions" came to some sort of agreement.

They have also received dispensations for all affected personnel, from all major organized religions to serve what is available when necessary during combat or other adverse conditions even if the meals are not according to their religious practices. On another subject, Chaplains in all military services are trained and authorized (by their own religious order) to perform religious rights and services of all the major religions represented in the military services. I have seen a Rabbi Chaplain give the Catholic last rights to a soldier who was about to die. As an example. less

Look at the all the work they do at home, even if the kids are older. According to a survey (http://www.salary.com/mom-paycheck/) I read the results of the stay-at-home mom's salary worth was set at $143,121. The idea of making it mandatory they work if they have school age children is ludicrous.
It is sad but true. However, today's youth would rise to the occasion but it would take longer for them to just learn the basics and in the mean time many more would die.

I remember the real ones. You could tell who really liked using them. That person would have 50 to 100 holes drilled in the flat part so there would be less wind resistance.

It seems they have all adjusted well. That said, I must also say the systems have been in place for decades and decades. To make such a drastic switch in the United States would require two systems running parallel in the beginning. The old system would have to continue till all the children had completed High School. The new system would start at any given time and all children entering school for the first time would be enrolled. It would be a financial nightmare at first to say the least. I doubt very much it would be accepted by the general populace. Right now there are several school districts in the US already running a year long school program. How they are turning out I don't know. less

A few years ago in Virginia, USA, two armed men accosted two guards who were unloading an armored truck at a local bank. They took the guards weapons and handcuffed the guards in the armored truck. They were seen running across the street and into a multi level parking garage. Once in the garage they ran to a parked "U-Haul" rental van. They opened the rear doors (it was all unlocked) and thew in all the weapons (theirs and the guards) and the cash bags (estimated to be 2 million dollars) and their masks. The police arrived in short order. Based on the descriptions of their colorful "T" shirts provided by the guards the suspects were apprehended less than two blocks away. Once taken in to the police station they confessed and explained their partner was to pick up the van that evening and meet them at a motel to split the take. The police rushed back to the parking garage and watched the van on the second level for hours. Finally another suspect arrived on foot and approached... less

They are remotely controlled and can flash and change colors. The manufacture does specify the shoes, though they look like running shoes, are not intended for sports or running (such activity will damage the lights). They are something to see. They are very distracting. They also come in adult sizes.

A living directive has many names but it is a document where you lay out your health and treatment preference and you name your health advocate who will legally defend your medical desires. A letter of intent also has many uses but in this case it is one where you voice your druthers regarding your funeral arrangements. Having those documents in place, signed and filed when required will save your family and those who are your executors hours and days of frustrations. less
I do believe you will do the wise thing and research what you really need plus what you want and triple check all reviews then buy the one you want. Good luck. (I am sorry but I an not that great recommending computers.)

We used tokens back then, I think they were 10 or 15 dents each for one ride. Once on the train I was home free. My office where I worked was in a building which was on top of an underground subway station. So I would leave the train and take an elevator up. There were places to buy lunch and stuff in the underground station. They never closed the business when it snowed. I can only remember once when the trains stopped running and that was because of a blackout. less

I have know women's rugby in Australia has been ongoing for many, many years. However I just read they have gone pro with their own league. Congratulations ladies. My question is what would be your reaction / opinion regarding a serious (not a frilly for show) women's football league in the United States?

After raising 4 children, who are all well adjusted adults now, to varying degrees (LOL), kiddo number 5, an eight year old has me stumped. He has always been a picky eater. Somehow his late mom was able to get him to eat some items I never thought he'd eat (like mushrooms, onions, and broccoli). For the past three months he has not only refused to even taste new items but on occasion he has refused his old favorites (like french fries). I need a simple effective, non-violent systematic method to get him to eat. (his favorites are spaghetti and meat balls, plain beef cooked medium with mashed potatoes, breaded chicken pieces and plain bread.Any reasonable ideas would be appreciated. The Ancient One is worn out. less
