Because IDay's thread keeps getting derailed with discussion on abortion, I am starting this thread for those who are not interested in discussing the language used around choice, abortion, murder, etc. However, it's a little different. Have at it here - I likely won't participate, but here is a...

I know some of you have your master's degree and likely required research courses. I just need a little help with a couple of questions for my course. I am terrible with stats and have not done them in 15 years. I'm evaluating a quantitative dissertation, and there is a question that asks "what...

Now that I have your attention (I wanted guys input on this too), I'm talking about baby showers. My teammate is pregnant and I want to have a baby shower for her at the agency where we work. It's been 27 years since I had my baby, and I have no idea what's out there for interesting and useful...

There are 31 days in January. There are 28 in February (except this year it's 29). This makes no sense. Why aren't there 30 days in January and 29 in February (except leap years can be 30)? What's with the imbalance? Who decided this and why?

This is an interesting article about modern worship. I don't sing, except alone in my car when I am on the highway so no one hears me, but I do know that it's harder and harder to find worship music that is scripture-based and focuses on God rather than evoking a temporary emotional state. It's...

A pup was run over. :( I was on my way to get groceries and left my driveway just in time to see a car run over it across the street. Front tires, dog rolled several times and tried to run away, but was hit again - back tire ran right over it and stopped while still part on the dog. The driver...

Two and a half years after our initial separation, my ex is moving back in... into my son's old room (son moved out earlier this year). The marriage ended badly, but it is not up to me to give any details, aside from the fact that I still go through bouts of resentment from time to time (not...

Okay, everyone, this seems to be a busy forum, so I'll say it here. Get your game on and join in playing Clue! I've never even played the game before and I am one of the TWO who have signed up for it! And this is coming from a member who very rarely ventures out from the ladies' forum. Let's get...

My son, age 25, is moving out on his own for the first time. Over the last few years for Christmas, I'd pick a room and get him gifts focused on that room. He has all he needs for a bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, dining. He wants to see his new place before he gets any furniture, to gauge for size...

I was reading the Apostle's creed. It says that Jesus descended to the dead and on the third day he rose again. Question. Jesus rose physically from the dead. We assume he rose on the third day because that's when the stone was rolled away. Why didn't he descend to the dead physically, but he...

A political rant... sort of. Today is what Canada has always called "Remembrance Day." We have cadets who stand at big box store entrances, selling felt poppies for donations. I buy a poppy every year and after the day is over, I place it on the sup-side of my passenger visor. There are 12...

I didn't even know there was an advice forum here! lol. I really should come out from the women's forum more often. This request is not so much for "Christian" advice - though I am a Christian and I need advice, I'm not so sure it's a matter of Christian advice. If that makes any sense at all...

I decided I do not want to put up a Christmas tree anymore. Yes, I still want to celebrate Christmas! After all, as the song goes, "Christmas is about the cross" and that is where my faith is. Here's the thing, though. Christmas trees to me are synonymous with gift-giving. And heaven knows over...

Lamb has her surgery today. Let's pray for her. I am sure that all would agree with me that our God is sovereign, so we pray that his will is done in Lamb's body, her life, and her testament to his power. The blind man was blind from birth for no other reason than to reveal Jesus' power to...

I have a dog that has a fear-based bark. It's been a terrible challenge trying to get him to have some self control over his barking. I let people know it's fear-based, but I'm sure it doesn't feel fear-based to the people he barks at. Typically it's harmless. He barks then hides behind me. He...

I have rekindled an old friendship with a woman whose beliefs have taken a very different path than mine. She is very, very conservative in her beliefs, and she is non-denom. She recently made a FB post that kinda surprised me because she asked a pastor his thoughts on someone shaking so much...

I have a Morkie puppy (7 months old). He is pure white except for a very light, barely noticeable creamier colour to his ears. Cute as all get-out, but he has discoloured tears that stain his fur on his face. I've tried a few different products (a few "natural" and one with boric acid), and...

I was laid off just before the new year from a job that bored me, although the company was fantastic! In fact, when my boss laid me off, he told me that he was aware they were under-utilizing my skills, and IF he gets this contract in March, he wants to call me back to work in a role more suited...

Just a little personal rant.... I have a friend I've known for 47 years. We were best friends for more than 20 years. Then she married someone who figured I was a "bad influence" and would not allow me to see her for a couple of years - and then only once every year or two, although we...

What's the best thing about being married? For me, it's knowing that even if I mess up, I know my husband will love me anyway...it's the safe place where I can be vulnerable and still come out loved, where humility is not a sign of weakness. ... But I also kinda enjoy being the early bird...
