Comic Relief Returns - Blog Entry11 Sep 2006 10:53 AM Hip, hip, hooray! I love Comic Relief and I was an avid watcher. I can't wait to see the new one and thanks for this Libby! Murphy's Law - Blog Entry11 Sep 2006 04:49 AM Oy Sherry! Here's a long distance hug, since I live not too far from the town of Murphy myself, I'm very familiar with the when everything goes wrong syndrome! Hang in there. Family & Marriage: Grandparents Day - Blog Entry11 Sep 2006 04:29 AM Megan, thank you! I wouldn't be the person I am without my grandmother and I think my world is a sadder place without her in it. I think grandparents deserve more than just one day in a year, but since it's on the Calendar, I think it's worth noting for them! Thanks for your good wishes. Toddler in the House? Get the Gun Out - Blog Entry11 Sep 2006 04:02 AM Julie, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to respond and for stating your position and while I respect and appreciate it, beginning it with a playful threat is hardly the way to illustrate a point. Loading a gun in 22 seconds is an admirable quality, but accidents happen and the idea that you can cite only 236 deaths attributable to guns in the home is not only far from ideal, it's terribly sad. Any death that can be prevented from needlessly occuring is important. Owning a gun is a choice -- just as choosing to not own one despite the terror tactics of gun supporters and accidents happen -- even among the most well-trained and competent users of firearms. So just knowing and being ever vigilant is of course, not a guarantee. Thanks for dropping in and sharing your thoughts -- I appreciate it. Toddler in the House? Get the Gun Out - Blog Entry10 Sep 2006 07:29 PM I am sorry to hear that Kaye. It's gotten to be where you hear something like that all the time and it never fails to make me so very, very sad. I loathe guns. My husband and I decided a long time ago we wouldn't have them in our home and the one time we had a friend staying with us who brought a gun, she was told either her gun left or she and the gun could both leave. Walking - Is it better to do it incrementally or all in one go? - Blog Entry10 Sep 2006 03:50 AM That's a very good point, Sheri! It's .6 miles from here to my daughter's school, but the hill is very gently sloping -- but there's a route I can take in a huge circuit that's 3 miles and I get some up and down there. The odometer in your car is definitely your friend in this case! Dreams Really Can Come True - Blog Entry09 Sep 2006 04:49 PM What a charming story Michele! Thanks for finding this gem. Let's Pretend: How Do You Teach Your Toddler to Pretend? - Blog Entry08 Sep 2006 03:11 PM LOL -- forever, my daughter would pick up the play phone and say "What!?" Star Trek Hits the Big 4-0 - Blog Entry08 Sep 2006 10:33 AM I went to fan conventions quite a bit in my teenage and early 20s years. I remember getting in trouble in one of the debate rooms once where they debating which show was better TNG versus TOS and I said it was hard for me to give them an honest opinion on a series that was canceled before I was born. Still -- Star Trek gives us a very positive look at the future and that continued through each subsequent series -- my two favorites were DS9 and Enterprise -- but then I'm a bit more of a freak than most about my tastes -- I like strong character driven tales 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 |
