Some of my thoughts were: Drink 64 oz of water a day. Log all your food. Eat at a deficit. Eat only whole grains. Start a walking plan. Try one new healthy recipe a week.

By the way, if you have a Bruster's near by you get free ice cream on your birthday...

I've bent over backwards to make the 30th birthday of several of my friends amazing. I got stupid phone calls for my birthday. Seriously? A phone call? Bump that. I want money and expensive tequila. I love birthdays and I am so sad all of my coworkers now would rather forget they are a year older than celebrating at work.

I come upon this right after thinking maybe I should increase my grocery budget, which is difficult because as a single mom there isn't a lot of wiggle room in my budget. I was actually going to post asking for feedback on what people's grocery budget is. I made a list of some cheap dinners like sandwiches or eggs and…

I wish for uniforms. Kids are so mean to each other over clothes. And it cost way less to dress them in uniforms I've got a friend who bought her daughter a Kate Spade purse and wallet (the girl is 14) just so she wouldn't get teased at school. My kids would have had to risk being teased.

Wow! That's exactly what I said! How were you able to read between the lines so well?!

They are far from sheltered. In fact from a young age I have always had open conversations with my children about all sorts of moral, social, and even political issues. We have very diverse friends and family. At the end of the day the company they keep is important. So I do monitor their friends, which I think every…

My sons are expected to respect women period, even if those women don't respect themselves by dressing in a way to draw inappropriate attention to themselves. However, respecting all women doesn't mean all are what I consider worthy of admiration. A 13 year old girl who olds her shirt up to show off her stomach in an…

Few things to implement values go over well with kids at first. He lives in my home and I pay his bills. So yep, I get to be dictator to the degree I see fit. He isn't allowed to "talk to" (jr high version of dating) girls who I find don't behave as young ladies. I not only have my license, I'm an instructor. This term is…

Haha. I have two older brothers who I credit with making me pretty fearless.

It is the rules we had in school and what my kids have now, except for the skinny jeans and tights. We have a problem here and it isn't the dress code. It is kids who don't respect authority, girls who don't know modesty, and boys who don't know how to respect and value young women. I have sons. My oldest is to dating age.…

My dad had a rule that before you could get your permit you had to learn how to change a tired, check tire pressure, jump off a battery, change a bulb, and check your oil.

My daddy taught me this too. I love helping with his tie before church. He passed away when I was a teenager, but now I love helping my son's with their ties. Such a precious memory.

We have two offices off the main section that for whatever reason are always 5 degrees cooler or hotter. It drives me crazy when they come in before the rest of us and jack the temp to unreasonable settings. I wish maintenance would lock it in at 72 for summer and 75 for winter.

Not in areas where people are forced to walk by them as the normal flow of foot traffic in an area or in a place where there are a lot of children. I had some people smoking at the bottom of a stair area that met up with the walkway for a doc at the lake. You were forced to walk though them (2 smokers on each side) to get…

No sense in saying anything else. None of us will change the views of the others and no one here has done their own research to create new evidence Some would just rush to discredit the research of those that disagree with them anyways.

Dr. William Gray, Colorado State University John Christy, Climatologist Check out their research and views. No grant money there. No Fakegate agendas.

I don't think it counts merely because the evidence against it is so much strong than the fabricated "evidence" that has come out. :)

You view Christians as minions, but you may want to check the mirror. I would urge caution in where you follow. You would sure as hell hate to be wrong.

I'm surprise that someone who pretends to be so intelligent supports so many unproven theories. What I'm not surprised at is how you treat people with different opinions. Condescending like you have some sort of superior wisdom. People believe what they want to hear. This applies to everyone. There are just as many…

Virtually every scientist now concedes that universe and time itself had beginning. So, whatever begins to exist has a cause. The universe began to exist. Therefore, the universe must have had a cause. ~Lee Strobel

Not at all. No different than my sins. Just wondering if you felt your rights directly had been violated. I will not now, nor will I ever support any action that is sinful and I also have civil rights to exercise freedom of religion. My religion requires I stand up to God's law about mans. So why makes your rights more…

Are you gay?

Which law and civil right would that be? because the only group I see this happening to is Christians.
