Topher, "For all you know Al Qaeda is right." Okay, you are delusional. I have a blue service star in my window. I'm questioning whether my son is coming home in one piece, or not at all. I question this war, I question Bush, I question Cheney, …

Maryland, I think you just need to "veg". :roll:

That was a painful post for me to read, Buddy. I do hope that you find a peace that passes all understanding, and the boy understands all the pieces that pass through his chaotic world.

Buddy, Anti-depressant meds don't "chemically alter the brain" to take away sadness....the meds will help you deal and cope with the sadness. Yes, it's a sad situation. You are going to feel sad. But, you won't feel so helpless and hopeless wi…

Buddy, I too, know what it is like to be so very sad that you don't want to live. I'd go to work and put on the happy, professional face, but then I'd cry and cry at night...and put the clown face on again in the morning. Yes, I even tried drin…

I love the Robin Cook medical mysteries. Remember the movie Coma? It was done by Robin Cook first. And, since visiting the UK, I'm into Jane Austen. I visited some of the manor houses where the movies of her books were filmed. And, I found out …

I loved the Waltons. I loved Earl Hamner's voice narrating at the beginning. My family even said good night to each other like they did in the show...corny...but we are a corny, close family. The DVD set is on my Christmas list. Goodnight all!

Justin, My younger sister is gay and has been out of the closet to our family and friends for 20 years. We came from a loving family too. Never has my sister not been accepted for who she is. When you are ready to tell your parents, they will sti…

I like your idea for suggestions Tanne. I'm sorry if I was too critical in my earlier posting. I only raised one son who is now in his early 20's. (This can also, at times, be the other terrible two's!) I tip my hat to you, raising three childre…

Hi Theory, Although you asked Carl for advice, here's my two cents on the subject. 1. Don't keep beginning your instructions to the kids with please... "Please pick up your jammies." "Please pick up your toys." Please used in this way give…

I've never been to Hawaii, Lava Rock, but I plan to soon. My husband and I turn 50 in three more years, so I figured a trip to Hawaii, our 50th state, would be fun. I like theme parties...can you tell?

I can relate about the moving. I went to Kindergarten in one city, First Grade in another town, and Second Grade in yet another town. My Dad worked for the state of Michigan, and the moves were job-related. It was hard being the new kid. It was…

I've been vacationing in England for the past month, along with side trips to Wales, Ireland, Scotland and France. I was amazed at all the different accents in England, and the different twists on words. We say parking lot, they say car park. We s…

I hear you Buddy. I didn't cry at my own Grandmas' funerals, but I cried when Princess Diana, John F. Kennedy Jr. and his mother, Captain Kangaroo, and Mr. Roger's died. I got to meet "The Captain", Bob Keeshan, at a book signing a few years befor…

I came across this parable last fall. I told it to my Freshman English class when we began our Utopia unit.

Buddy talks about the "mundane things that are life". I immediately thought about the play, Our Town, by Thornton Wilder. It's one of my favorites. The theme is how people don't see that everyday, small things in life are important. And that thos…

I'm doing the happy dance today....Snow Day!...No school! We've got about a foot of snow and the lake effect is kicking in....it's still snowing! No bare feet here, I've got the warm fuzzy slippers on, hot chocolate and my lap top...life is good.
-
I'd be thrilled if the students at my school only had their bare feet hanging out. I'm seeing too much skin in places I have no business seeing! Sometimes the girls will kick off their sandals in the library...me too. We've got a few more months b…

You didn't offend me Carl. We'll just have to agree to disagree. I don't pretend to know anything about the philosophy/religion of Taoism. Heck, I once wore a perfume named Tabu, so that shows how completely "UnTao" I am! I'm not "struggling" …

I did a little research on that revenge quote Buddy (I teach and am also a librarian--lucky you!) and here's what I found. The earliest known use of this proverb, Revenge is a dish best served cold, is by the French author, Pierre Chaderlos de La…

Carl, As an educator (high school teacher), I am confused with you calling college an "initiation" rite. Futhermore, I would never diminish my students who did not go to college. However, I do encourage all high school graduates to have some so…

I go to Milwaukee several times a year---my sister lives there. Now what are the possibilities of Buddy's friend's friend and my sister...Nah that's just too weird. But no more weird than all the stuff Joanne and I have in common! #10 I'll b…

I stand corrected...all five feet of me. I figured out my mistake and was getting on to edit, but you beat me to it Buddy. I think Cher's tears for Sonny were sincere. Michi

I'm very eclectic in my music. I grew up on pop/bubblegum music...Donny Osmond, David Cassidy, The Partridge Family, The Jackson Five (when Michael was normal) I loved to watch Sonny and Cher as a teen, but I recently saw a Cher concert and was…

Buddy, Welcome back. I've missed you, and I'm sure others have too. I know nothing about Toaism. I am a female, liberal, Baby Boomer, Democrat, Protestant. I became curious about the Abbotts, after watching the show, and found this site. You…

Jenisi, First you referred to your "significant other" as your fiance, and then as your husband. Make your sleeping arrangement with your fiance/spouse legal. You can't call it a "family bedroom" until you are legally a family. Until then, you …
