It was one thing when a substitute teacher with degrees in literature and education becomes a Prime Minister. I may not like how he spends our money, but at least he has a degree and knows how to read. It was another thing when a prominent narcissistic businessman became President. At least we...

Oh, then I am so honoured that you have incorporated me into your morning routine - sort of. I know that every morning, almost without fail, you reply to my posts on the forum. I don't necessarily do things the same way, rigidly every day. Every morning I will have my java, check forums and...

Wow, 42! I used to read novels often, and have enjoyed series such as the "White Indian" series, "Outlander" series and "Clan of the Cave Bear" series. But then I started reading self-help books and Christian living books... then went back to college and quit reading altogether. lol. I think I...

Until I became physically unable to do any exercise, I would run. Funny thing is, though, that I don't typically register stress until it's actually over, at which time I tend to get sick or bored. When I know intellectually that I am stressed, I'll watch tv sitcoms or news magazines such as...

I had my son circumcised before leaving the hospital (like father, like son). He cried for 20 minutes and it was a little tender for a few days, but we faced the wrath of almost every new mother on the mat ward, not to mention all the nurses. My son is no worse for the wear. My son's father...

Hotrymez, I wonder if you had young children around, would you regain your excitement and desire to celebrate Christmas? I don't have any young children, but if my son decides to marry and have children, I will absolutely put up a Christmas tree for them and decorate and have all kinds of...

I think this is one of my favorite subjects. Renewing your mind and setting your mind on things above is a command - it's not something we passively sit back and let the Spirit do. We must be proactive in the process. Taking thoughts captive and making them obedient to Christ is part of that...

I think some of the commercialism is gone for me as well now. When you make it about the nativity, and about giving of self more than "stuff" it becomes more meaningful. This year, I got my son a lot of "stuff" for when he moves out on his own. Other than that, gifts are more experiential this...

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...

No kidding! I do parent education. My clients are involved with the Child Protection Ministry here, and they are referred to my small team. We teach attachment based parenting as well as do 1:1 counselling with them - usually things like how their attachment style as children influences adult...

I can't afford a master's, but if I could afford to take a year off work and pay the $25,000 for it, I'd get a MSW (Clinical). As it is, in July, I finished a post degree diploma (30 credits at the 5th year level) in mental health and addictions. Having done that, though, I think I'd rather do...

You might get along well with IDay... ? When I was very young, I wanted to be an athlete. A runner, to be specific. Then by the time I was in high school, that changed to social worker. I took the long way there, though... I was a cashier, receptionist, nurse, spa practitioner/owner, and...

This is an interesting thread, to see how many people are more than one ethnicity - people of all ages. Canada is known for being multicultural (as opposed to American "melting pot"), but multiculturalism happened a whole long time before PM Pierre Trudeau put a name to it. I am 50% English, 25%...

Your hat looks wonderfully warm! I'm not particularly crafty. I mean I like doing the easy ones, but they have to be really easy, and someone else has to come up with the idea first. I'm not good at coming up with crafty ideas. But a couple of years ago, I came across this super-easy craft in a...

Okay. Just making conversation.

Okay. Makes sense for some. I was starting to think it was some kind of old-fashioned thread where people were perpetuating women's roles and men's roles. MC - I grew up on the orchard and I worked at least as hard as any male out there, and I was just as strong as my father. And while he was...

Question. Why does it always seem to be up to the women?
