    Is it ok to sometimes stay on the dole?

    This verse does not apply to the subject at hand. I know it's quoted numerous times to justify being anti-social safety nets but it's taken way out of context. The context is the early church where believers held everything in common. There were men who refused to do anything because they...

    I want to be submissive but I'm struggling

    My husband will use the same phrase. It doesn't mean "giving permission", it means "let me check with my wife and see whether or not she thinks this is a good idea" or "let me check and see if there are other plans for that weekend". There were and are times I'll shoot down something he wants to...

    The Dumbing Down of Christianity

    very sad but true. I saw that in my theology classes. Very shallow knowledge of the bible, no knowledge of the culture or the times (which is needed to help understand scripture), no knowledge of history. One of these days I'll finish those last 2 classes and get my degree.

    Bible Study what is marriage..

    I won't go into detail but about 10 years ago I had biblical reasons to divorce my husband. I chose not to do that. Honestly, the first 16 or so years of our marriage were horrible. I mean, horrible to the point where I thought about leaving or tossing him out on more than one occasion. The...

    asperger adhd is it a substance or nerve connection???????

    One theory that makes sense is when a child is born prematurely, there's an issue with the brain getting organized. ADHD and ASD is more common in those who did not have the advantage of a full 40 week gestational period. I was born about 4 weeks early. I was a fine size and had no problems, but...

    Here's A Good Idea

    Goodness! I started teaching my kids about budgeting and bills and stuff when they were old enough to understand. By the time they were in middle school they knew how to comparison shop, compute unit price vs whole price (like per oz of two different products similarly priced), compute the sales...

    asperger adhd is it a substance or nerve connection???????

    I have both an ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and ADHD. I do not see it as a handicap or disability for the most part. Part of it is genetic and part of it is environmental/congenital (from birth). Its just fine though, it makes me who I am, enables me to excel at certain things. To most of the...

    Christian TV - good, bad or indifferent?

    I'll watch some of the Christian movies on Netflix but I won't watch Christian TV. It seems most of those channels are nothing but WOF preachers and they're just not worth my time. When I watch TV, I'm usually watching documentaries or movies anyway.

    Are Pacifiers Really All That Bad For Our Kids?

    pacifiers saved me more than once! I nursed all three of my kids and there were times when they just wanted to use me as a pacifier...so, pop in the pacifier and I could actually get things done. They gave it up voluntarily at about 2 (about the time they were weaned).

    Why Like Cats?

    I have 2 ferocious felines. They're a brother/sister duo and are just the craziest things. The male thinks he's a dog. He's all about the cuddling, plays fetch and is an excellent beggar. He's also very clumsy. He falls off the cat tree, back of the recliner, back of the couch, chairs...

    Does Anybody Still Use The Laundromat?

    We used the laundromat for about 10 months after moving into this condo. Everywhere else we lived had a washer and dryer in it. We bought a washer and dryer a couple of weeks ago finally. But I'll probably still use the laundromat for things like comforters. Those big machines are great.

    I want to be submissive but I'm struggling

    Oh goodness...this could be the story of my marriage (minus the CPS case, plus a domestic violence arrest). Up until 2007, my husband was in the Navy. I got used to doing things my way and when he was home, he was just sorta a decoration and an outlet (if you know what I mean). I was FULLY in...

    Parenting Victory Stories

    Oh...I would have seen red at that point and somebody (not me) would have been scrubbing the kitchen. I've been known to do horrible things like make children with bad aim clean the toilet and around it with a toothbrush. I was an only child and admittedly a spoiled brat. I informed my children...
