St. Patrick's Day in Parenting JoeUser Forums

Today I woke up and was reminded that today is St. Patrick's Day. Being someone who doesn't look good wearing green I got dressed and put on a green necklace given to me by my roommate. I woke up Nicholas and thought I might try and explain today what today was. I woke him up and said, "hey buddy, guess what, today we get to wear your favorite color." "Green?" he asked. "Wahoo" Then I asked him if he knew why we wore green today and he

Thank you Donald Trump in Misc JoeUser Forums

I've never been fired before in my life. I never really imagined being fired but figured if it ever came to that that it would be for a work related reason. I was fired this week for the following reasons: 1. I am incapable of making healthy decisions for myself and my son 2. I have allowed myself to be poisened by medical terminology 3. I have been let d

Reply to American Idol 6: Results Feb. 22, 2007 in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I was shocked by Fantasia last night. I don't think she stood up straight her entire performance. It drove me nuts! I was a bit surprised to see Rudy go home I figured it would be Sundance. I thought the two girls that were sent home were good choices, I don't think Antonella and oh shoot what's her name (she sang Brass in my Pocket) anyways I think they'll be right close behind. I haven't been overly impressed by any one guy this year and while I t

Reply to American Idol 6, Minneapolis Auditions in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I was surprised at the "lack of talent" in the auditions so far. From 10,000 people only taking 17 seems shocking to me. Especially because the hollywood round tends to be larger. I was also impressed with Denise but Perla did less than interest me. I think Jarrad will be an easy favorite and have good appeal just because I think the public will want him to advance. Will be interested to see what tonight has to offer. As a musician I always find my

Reply to Jesus is NOT the Reason for the Season in Religion JoeUser Forums

I expect that the answer to your question lies, for me, not in the particulars surrounding Christ's actual birth but in the tradition of celebrating God with us or Emanuel. This tradition is surrounded by good will, societal cheer, giving, charity, coming together and positive forward looking as well as sentimental memories of the past. At a time when our society is characterized by independence, self focus, individualism, and a diminishing sense of the importance of social welfar

Reply to Breaking up is hard to do in Dating JoeUser Forums

Good luck... I was there not too long ago and for the same reasons. It's hard when you have to explain it but just feel confident that you're following God's plan ( at least we think ) and be strong.

Reply to To The Christians, Wherever They May Be in Religion JoeUser Forums

I really enjoyed this article. My parents and I often have this discussion and I can say that for a long period of time I was guilty of doing all those things. (gotta love being raised in the church) but I think that I've grown. I still have sel-righteous (sp) indignant moments but I'm working on it. I realize that not everyone wants to hear what I believe and there's no reason to throw it in their face. I think I can believe and set an exaple witho

"Also explain to her that she needs to ask your permission before going anywhere beyond your house, her house, and the store." I did this when I hired her and so I'm not sure why they felt it was ok. They have girls my sisters ages and even when they take them sailing they call and ask first. I just don't understand what prompted them taking him WITHOUT even calling first. I will definately be having a conversation and if it continues to be

Reply to Headline: Baby lost at sea in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Well that was my origional thought but I don't think that the issue is her. It's her parents. They are the type of people who have no boundries and are very controling so when they tell her she has to do something she has to. I am already paying $7 an hour and to put him in daycare for the hours I work I would be paying over $9. I did try to call them this morning. I will be having a firm discussion with her and then probably one with her parents al

Reply to Relationships on Myspace in Virtual Communities JoeUser Forums

There are some good rules about myspace. If you are under the age of 16 (unless you're lying about your age) your profile must be Private which means only your friends can view your profile. Now, unfortunately that means it is left up to the under 16 year olds to be wise about who they accept as their friends. When I was growing up we weren't allowed to get on the internet at home until we were 18. At schools now, sites like myspace and livejournal a

Reply to Grrrrr in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I think that it would be perfectly appropriate to send a letter to your boss with your concerns. Perhaps it needs to be a bit more professional but it actually is pretty good how it is, if you take out the profanity and add a touch more... umm.. what's the word I'm looking for... perhaps leaving out the personal emotion and stating facts is the best way to do it. But I think you should definately say something especially since she is reprimanding you

Reply to Cliques on Joeuser? in Blog Communities JoeUser Forums

""Sure, we agree, disagree, and sometimes infuriate each other, but I don't consider a "clique" a group of people who agree all the time." I completely agree! To take it one step further I would say that they definately don't agree all the tme and that's part of the reason they work together... so that they can learn from each other.

Reply to Cliques on Joeuser? in Blog Communities JoeUser Forums

NO I don't think that because people agree on a subject that that makes them a clique at all. And I'm not saying that if you're involved in a following that it makes you less of a person in any way. I don't think you can prevent cliques and they aren't necessarily bad. I think it's a common misconception that all cliques are bad... perhaps that is why people feel demeaned when identified with one. But I don't think that's the case.
