Because politics (except Canadian) are banned and people need something to b*tch about. ;)

My ww is different this week. It's actually my dh's post from Monday. Link in siggy.

Well, it's Wednesday here, so I'll bump this up. My WW isn't wordless, and it was my dh post from the 1st- Giving Thanks for Heroes. http://semperfidelisacademy.blogspot.com

Congrats to mom and baby! :)

Mine's up. Link in siggy.

I would recommend the book by Wayne Grudem called Bible Doctrine.

Thanks for the update, and I'm glad things are working out! :)

I don't think so. I think it's far too sad for a child that age.

I don't think we'll take a full 2 weeks off for Christmas. We need to play catch-up.

Yep. :)

Bump. Me, too!

How about a King Charles Spaniel?

I remember these, and I think I'm going to have to purchase some. They were really, really hard to use but what great memories!

:lol:

We enjoy Blokus and Apples to Apples.

We usually wait until after Thanksgiving, but this year we are putting them up a few days before.

:grouphug:

pqr, you and my husband think alike ;). However, I must add that I think it really depends on the girl. Some 12 year-old girls are "younger" than others. My dd wears a little lip gloss (not the really shiny kind) occasionally.

Honestly? I realized that some of the people I thought I "knew" do not practice the tolerance they preach. It can be uncomfortable to know what people "really" think about you, especially when they do a pretty good job at playing friends. I miss the "we're in this together" feeling of the board, but I realize now that it was just an illusion. A grand one at that. But an illusion, nonetheless. Cheers,

Are you near Springfield or Burke?

It's Wednesday here! Mine's up. Link in siggy. :)

When I glanced at the thread title all I read was, "Anyone need a lonely Marine?" :D

Does your husband want you to do it? If he feels it's odd, I would not do it. I would not want to do anything that might make my dh feel alienated from any of our children. Is there a way that your ds and dh could do something during the day together (alone, you know man-stuff), and then you and ds could do something special that evening? I'd really try to bring dh in on the celebration somehow so he does not feel left out and I think it's really important that sons spend bonding time with their dads. And, if you do spend the night in the hotel, remember to book a room with two double beds. :D Kidding aside, my husband would not spend the night with my daughter in a hotel. It would make him feel uncomfortable. They have lots of what we call "Daddy-daughter" dates where they might run errands together and get ice cream.
