    Can you believe that 20 years ago I went on father-son Scout camp and they had an assault course which included a horizontal plastic drain-pipe one inch wider diameter than me buried in a mound of earth that none of the other fathers would go through - so I crawled through it without it occuring to me that I might get stuck? They all had to do it after that, of course.

    I still sometimes wake up in a sweat after dreaming about getting trapped. Can you imagine anyone grown up and apparently intelligent enough to have graduated from university being SO STUPID?

    Can you imagine my horror at discovering the prices of book based on Edmund Burke's speeches?

    Why don't Kindle have free downloads of these classics?

    Do you know that sounds more adventureous than stupid to me?

    How much was the book?

    I think a big chunk comes from the need to control everything, i feel like i need to have control of everything in my life... im slowly learning to let go, i used to cry everytime i rode my horse because i was terrified of failing and terrified that i couldnt do it.

    Seems kinda silly putting it in text though dont you think?

    im quite curious on the cost of the book as well..?

    MJ, would you believe I was thinking the same thing? I read and reread what he wrote and was seriously putting thought into it. It is not easy to admit having a problem with control. After all, isn't that what brought us here?

    How astonished am I to find a whole load of stuff on free download on Amazon.com and the US price is the same in dollars as the UK price in pounds - ranging from the $0.00 to $50 but mostly under $10. Can I emigrate?
    Would be interested in Thomas Paine for $0.00 too?

    Can you believe that if Edmund Burke had had his way you'd all be drinking tax-free tea and probably still swearing allegiance to The Queen and speaking English as she is spoke ( - or perhaps not?) ?


    Good night - thankyou for having me?

    Is it a miracle that Amazon.uk seem to have found that free stuff - or at least own up to it now that Amazon.com has snitched on them - but the £:$ differential is still one to one?

    good morning

    im ok, found out my sons daycare (hes 4) taught them where to hide and stuff should a bad guy come into daycare. my son tends to let his imagination run away with the whole bad guy thing and asks a lot of questions and gets a little scared.

    I dont know how to feel about it i mean its great that they are teaching it but i think it just bugs me that 4 year olds have to be taught something like that...

    Am i crazy? a lady i work with was PUMPED her daughter was taught that....

    Can I agree that is it crazy that our babies HAVE to be taught that?

    BUT

    Wouldn't you rather him know what to do, than to not know?
