Reply to Yawn...I'm so excited. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Good grief, girl, will you please tell me what you eat for breakfast every morning?! I seriously would like to know how one human being can do so much in a day...on top of being sleep deprived. [quote]I babysat a bunch of kids[/quote] That alone would have done me in. Yer awesome.

Reply to Are fish unaware of the sea? in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

I'm not Buddhist, but I find plenty of aspects of various religions easy to identify with. I'm human. I've got this book called Zen Speaks...Shouts of Nothingness by Tsai Chih Chung, translated into English by Brian Bruya. It's a good, light-hearted read in its comic book style. And it can be deep too if you want it to be. My son found this old book in our collection and likes us to read it to him all the time. I sure don't mind reading it to hi

Reply to Sesame Street, bad for my child? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Sesame street doesn't hold my son's attention. Children's programming has come a long way. There's a lot better stuff out there than Sesame Street nowadays. Sesame Street seems to be an ADD-type show, always flipping from one unrelated segment to another. I've tried to find a theme across the segments,

Reply to Thank you MamaCharlie and Big Fat Daddy! in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Happy Birthday!!!! Am I the only one who's told you that TODAY? *GRIN* That's why I waited. I swear. ...."Mom, you don't look any taller than you were at 29." Oooh! That kid says the cleverest, most insightful, innocent things! Now can you imagine if we grew taller on every birthday.

Pet Peeves. I'm full of 'em. in Writing JoeUser Forums

When you've got a really great job with tons of benefits, those are called... PERQUISITES... ...no? I learned the word, "perquisite," in my childhood before I learned of it's shortened version that many lazy (cough) Americans prefer, which is... PERK. Only, when I envisioned the way the shortened word would be spe

Reply to Why 2007 Was the "Year of Facebook" in Living in Cyberspace JoeUser Forums

Facebook gave me the willies at first when a 33-year-old friend of mine who acts like a teenager invited me to join. I was perplexed at all the people who volunteered so much information that's really nobody's business but their own (not that I've never done that in blogs, nooooo, heh). But what happened to the days when we were taught to be paranoid..."Don't tell anyone online where you live!" or, "Never give anyone online your full name !" ???? <

Menorahs, Dreidels, Stars of David, Oh My! in Religion JoeUser Forums

Since I left the public school scene well over a decade ago, I've heard tales that holidays have been increasingly deemphasized in favor of the three R's these days. Is it true that Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, Christmas, and everything inbetween have all been given the back seat? Feeling conservative in areas of educati

Reply to Another Useless Product: Odor Alert Cat Litter in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Or perhaps it's targeted to people who don't want to waste their time sifting through EVERYTHING in the litter box...just the stuff that stinks. It looks like Arm & Hammer has been focusing too much on the improvement of cat litter. Just like I've spent too much time analyzing this issue.

Reply to The Dilema of Christmas Cards in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Well then I must be a Scrooge Extraordinaire. I say, "If it stresses me out, then I refuse to feel guilty for not doing it!" The last time I sent cards was 2005 (which means it wasn't THAT long ago so I'll probably do it again within the next few years). Those Christmas cards were handmade, heartfelt, creative, and tailor-made for 15 select recipients. What a headache they were though!!! But I'll always remember visiting my Grandma t

Reply to Health care sucks, Kids are cute and life is dangerous in Misc JoeUser Forums

Wow. You know something weird, I heard about that incident at the church on the news while we were waiting at the ER (that night I told you about my daughter's ear infection). Then when we were driving home later, we passed right by THAT VERY CHURCH in Laurel. Weird. Oh, and John & I are always forgetful to pick up Michael from class at the end because we're preoccupied with corralling our 3-year-olds. I feel bad that his teacher is sitting ther

Children are wonderful in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Do Kids drive sane people crazy? I have a blissful day of solitude. John took the kids up to the Inner Harbor where the fun never ends...and I get to be at home to catch up on housework, have silence so I can think straight, and prepare some activities for the kids to keep them out of cartoonland when they have downtime. During such a rare day of solitude

Later on I went back and listened more closely to the song you included. Indeed, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You must've developed so much strength over the past year and a half, I can't even imagine.

I want to say that I can't believe any child could be so gorgeous, but seeing is believing. This is wonderwoman we is talking about here, mama, the difficult she does immediately...the impossible takes a minute or two longer. Yeah, I never cease to be amazed at all the stuff you do. I keep tryi
