    How do I keep from getting discouraged...

    When you pray, do you pray that they will live, or that God's will is done?

    Not at all. I'm in grad school taking one regular course, one condensed course and a full time internship, not to mention I still have regular daily life to take care of. Just kinda busy.

    Very Odd

    This conversation was just getting interesting, and I would love to continue, but my courses have opened up. This means the next 7 weeks are going to be out of the question for posting meaningful dialogue. Sorry... I wish more people had engaged because it would have made a good read! Tango, you...

    Very Odd

    Tango, we have hijacked the thread. The differences between Canada and the US are fascinating to me, and based on that, I have a hard time understanding what is going on in the US with regard to Trumpism and the intense dedication to capitalism. There is a fine line, and as a moderate kind of...

    Interestingly, I would also add paternalism. Let me be clear, though. I am not talking about a "daddy" state. Rather, I am talking about colonialism. Generally speaking, the US was colonized by the bad-boy cowboy rogue pushing west to escape the law, but in Canada, the law went ahead of the...

    Me too. In fact, I never come to this forum, but thought it might be interesting to read American Christian's thoughts on the situation. In times like this, the American-Canadian culture difference is highlighted, and I find it fascinating how different we are.

    Nope. I'm not afraid of much. Failure, maybe. Hypocrisy is all through the Bible. The Pharisees had some logs, the group ready to stone the woman caught in sin had logs - at least they recognized their logs, as in "he who is without sin can cast the first stone." The church as a whole has logs...

    My log blew up and turned into millions of bits of sawdust - all in my eye. None of us can be fully aware of our own biases or how our behaviour "lands" on others. Even the most introspective of us will have logs. I think the point is, though, that we are aware we have them, and that our...

    Research

    Tango, thanks for all your help! I have decided it's enough to simply say the proof is in the mean and SD. I'll take a bit of a hit on the grade, and that's okay. I think my other answers and other assignments will be enough to keep my grade up enough to pass. lol. But with your help, I at least...

    Research

    So the mean and the standard deviation are the numbers that prove something is statistically significant?

    Right, but how is that proven?

    Research

    Thanks, Tango! Yes, that actually really helps for validity and reliability. I kind of wondered why they included socioeconomic status when it has no direct affect on the outcomes. But I can see now that was used as a control measure for validity. Awesome! The alpha is set to .01, so 99%...

    Research

    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...

    What makes love last?

    Friendship, commitment, and putting the best interest of the other ahead of your own/meeting their needs.

    Parents separating kids because of vote

    A long time ago, I had a best friend. Her husband was my pastor. The two of us had a disagreement about God's will, where she believed everything was planned out by God, right down to what vegetable I would have for dinner. I believe that we can choose, though, and that if we commit OUR plans to...

    Showering

    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...

    special need kids and school during a pandemic

    Jsimms, this pandemic and social isolation/distancing is going to be much harder on some than on others. Even I anticipated getting through it easily because I like being at home, but it's been harder than I thought. It is absolutely unfortunate when it comes to those who are most vulnerable in...

    Relationships are dramatic!

    Relationships don't have to be dramatic. The ones that are successful seem to be best friends, can count on each other, have each other's back, share similar values and lifestyle, respect each other's differences, have excellent boundaries, and are able to resolve conflicts in a mature, calm...

    What upsets you more as you age

    Politics aside, YES!! Things that bother me more as I get older. Tango hit it on the head. I have been "unfriended" by nearly all my old friends from my hometown simply because I believe in "live and let live" rather than "my way or the highway, and I'm gonna force my religious beliefs on...

    Pets during and after lock down

    Oh, my poor Wilbur!! I go out with the ex for a couple of hours at a time now, and the dog has a major hissy fit at me when I get home! You'd think he hadn't seen me in a week! Oh, dear, I hate to think what he's going to do when I start back at the office again. He eats kleenex when I'm not...
