Re: 11 Step Kids Program
A little bit overstated, but some of them are true -- in particular number 11. But I wouldn't trade the kisses and the hugs and the snuggles (which they *do* grow out of too) for all the new sofas or CD players in the world.

Re: Baptism-lite
Well put RB --- the point isn't to take christianity out of the service but to make the service accessible to more by moderning the language and the format. It's something every church does on a somewhat regular basis. The Episcopal Church of the US in 1983 "modernized" their Book of Common Prayer t...

Re: Parenting - Put Up or Shut Up
I generally agree with Andrew -- this mother cares more about herself, and the "status" she gains as a result of her children's excellence, than she cares about her children and their development and human beings. The method the "chinese" mother promotes may produce excellent scholars, but it takes ...

Re: Things 4 baby
Teenage years, that's lucky! My seven-year-old is convinced that as a first-grader he knows everything about everything, and should be treated accordingly. It's actually funny if you don't live with it day in and day out.

In case I wasn't clear, that decision was handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court. Still think its balderdash?dgs49 wrote:I'm sure the federal Ninth Circuit would agree.
Balderdash.
Political activism, masquerading as law.

Re: Living LARGE In The UK
Daisy, I agree -- except one point --- surgery is *not* the easy way out. It takes the same commitment to losing weight as without surgery. And if you screw up and eat the wrong things the consequences are even more dire than if you hadn't had surgery. You also completely do without some things - li...

Re: Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords shot
Condemnation of political rhetoric that implies violence is an acceptable political solution should be non-partisan. If we can't agree on that, then we might as well give up.

Re: Flag Flap
Miles, it is not proper flag etiquette to keep it flying 24/7 unless it is illuminated. Otherwise, it is proper to raise and lower at sunrise and sunset.

Shakespeare in real life. Sarah Palin in the role of Henry II and Gabby Giffords as Thomas a Becket -- that "meddlesome" priest.

Re: Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords shot
What a horrible tragedy and an absolute disgrace. Also killed in the shooting, U.S. District Court Chief Judge John Roll --- a Bush I appointee, who had received death threats when he certified an immigrants civil rights action in 2008 or 2009.
