  1. Betty can buy me a muffin if she wants. I love muffins.
  2. The use of Greek uncials (capitals) or minuscules (lower case) does not follow the same conventions as English.
  3. Would people be equally offended by the use of Ó¨ to refer to God? I have used it myself when writing quickly taking notes or such.
  4. You need to perfect the stare, shake head, and look away routine. Other customers are not the line police.
  5. I heard Dave Marks give a vendor talk at a convention about 15 years ago. One of the few useful and memorable talks I ever heard.
  6. Exactly. They can be boring and infuriating in their own right.
  7. I am somewhat surprised that the working assumption seems to be that one cannot develop an attraction if other adults are present. I think passing attractions can happen under any circumstances. Yes, time together may provide more opportunity to stray, but more than opportunity is necessary. One also has to decide to entertain the idea of an affair and plan positive steps to make it happen. Ironically, I would think that depending upon external barriers, rather than internal personal conviction could leave one more vulnerable to an affair rather than less. Circumstances do not relieve one of maintaining a personal moral standard.
  8. I may be showing my age, but as soon as I read your post this song started playing in my head.http://youtu.be/aOZPBUu7Fro
  9. Well, I would definitely be looking into cutting someone out of my life, but it would not be the the homeschooling parent with whom I had a good relationship. What she said was incredibly intrusive and inappropriate. I would actively take steps to never again engage in one-on-one conversation with her. If she brought the topic up again, I would cut it off or walk away.

    Cowspiracy

    When we were in NZ lamb was a standard meat. We also semi-regularly had farmed venison. Lots of sausages, mostly not pork. Chicken was relatively expensive.
  11. I have not had good luck with Moen faucets. In the past year we replaced our countertop and faucet and put in this one. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Pfister-Cantara-1-Handle-Pull-Out-Sprayer-Kitchen-Faucet-in-Polished-Chrome-F-534-7CRC/205471292?MERCH=REC-_-NavPLPHorizontal1_rr-_-NA-_-205471292-_-N It is my second Pfister faucet and I have been pleased with both.
  12. I will go even further and say that even if Kid B did not "confess" to not completing the final project, he had every right to get the gift card. The manager gave the cards for his own reasons, to drum up repeat business and create good will in the community. None of that would be accomplished by playing the "enforcer" for another organization's rules. It was a participation award. Coordinator is controlling. I also would not have appreciated the passive-aggressive "do what you think best" comment. Continued participation by the coordinator might cause me to reconsider my family's particapation in future years.
  13. I doubt it is an effective strategy to attempt to scold random internet strangers into the Kingdom of God.
  14. Who is this writer and why should I care what he thinks?
  15. I remember hearing about the 12 steps years ago on the Dr. Dobson radio program. Even then, when I was more amenable to those views, I thought the list sounded strangely deterministic. Interesting to note now that some types of interactions are completely ignored.
  16. No Josh, you are not the "Biggest Hypocrite Ever". You're not superlative in anything.
  17. Well, truth be told, I didn't do anything. Once they were done, I just stopped sending anything in. In fact, since the purpose of the NOI is to be excused from compulsory attendance, once my youngest turned 16 I quit doing anything. They have all gone on to college and graduated so it worked out fine for us.
  18. The Duggars WANT to do a show. They need the income. I seriously doubt anything will ever come of it. TLC is crass and opportunistic but not stupid.
  19. I think extroverts have the problem. Why can't they be content in themselves? (Only being somewhat facetious.)
  20. ABBA ETA : Epic Fail. How embarrassing. I blame dementia.
