Reply to Intelligence is overrated in Business Experiences JoeUser Forums

Well, intelligence DOES help a lot though. Following is an example of what lack of intelligence brings to the table. This is presumably written by a teenage or grade-school girl: "Marie Curie ? polonium ?Science fair !? I have a science hair at my school, and i'm like done, butt i have to make a model of a polonium, or whatever she did. My other friends chose like scientists who invented a phone, etc, like things you can actually TOUCH,

I made that slideshow for the following reason: If no one ever sees me doing yoga (or whatever you wanna call this), I feel as if it never happened. Posting my weirdness on the internet gives me some weird sense of validation. And I really had no idea there was a puppy making fun of me the whole time.

Does a higher education matter? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Can you always tell the difference between someone who's earned a college degree and someone who hasn't? Once a person has a degree do they consider their education complete, and their resumé polished? Have they earned bragging rights forevermore? How many times have you heard in casual conversation someone off-handedly mention their Master's degree? It's impressive, right? Isn't it? Well of course education is a good thing. I

Reply to Health Insurance is a "Right"? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I think health care should be "socialized." There is nothing inherently wrong with socialism. It was given a bad name when everyone was afraid of communists throughout the cold war. Are you paranoid of borrowing a cup of sugar from your neighbor because they'll think you're a communist for doing so? Are you paranoid of going to the library? Of calling the fire department when y

You sound like a good enough communicator. Blogging about it is definitely some sort of communication and you've found all the right words to express the way you feel. I'm not saying that you necessarily need to share your blog with all parties concerned, but you can say the words to them that you wrote here. And I think an, "I love you," phone call would have been beautiful and appropriate after the silent treatment that went on that morning. The part about the heart attack (i.e. givi

No, I won't hold your penis for you, but... in Marriage JoeUser Forums

Back to the dawn of human existence...Before men started peeing on toilet seats, they were probably mis-aiming at a hole in the ground. I've decided that it's not entirely the man's fault that he pees on toilet seats. I think his equipment is much to blame. In potty training my little boy, I learned that it takes a second for the arc to reach its peak and for the stream to reach its destination. In the meantime the potty rim gets piddled on. I also remember some banter between

[quote] I doubt either will get my vote this time.[/quote] I've had similar thoughts...neither of the candidates rub me completely right. So what's a voter to do in such a case when the choices are narrowed down to such as these? Not vote ? Can we submit a ballot without choosing a president? Would that send a strong enough message or just a wasted trip to the poles? [quote]I'm beginning to wonder if we need a "redo" on the primaries and start ov

That reminds me I've been thinking about a really old article by KFC or LW or someone(?) about just how far a Christian should go to help people in need. Where do we draw the line when we see that we're being taken advantage of? I think Gideon had a hand in it too...something like, "Why do good things happen to bad

But not this particular lady.

Are you a smart & assertive Mom? in Parenting JoeUser Forums

Problem: A mom I met at a parenting class (that we were both required by law to attend) has been asking me to babysit her kid. I did it for a couple days before I noticed she was taking increasing advantage of my kindness (read: if you ask me a favor I won't say no right away, therefore you've got a window of time to walk all over me until I come to my senses). She'd say she needed me to babysit him for 6 hours, the next day it became 9 hours, then before the next day

Shocking title... Great idea! I love the Anne Geddes-type of photos. Have you seen the book of hers with a bunch of different poses involving newborns, mesh/cheesecloth(?), and mommies? Though I doubt the mommies are really mommies of those newborns. Their bodies are too perfect. But all the photos are so original and captivating. Like yours!
