Heather Long's commentsComments On: Everything Articles Blogs Journals Photos created by: EveryoneHeather Permission to Change27 May 2006 05:02 AM Absolutely and it is hard -- because we do resist change. A lot of people associate change with bad -- but change can be very good too -- it depends on the people and the reasons. But change is unavoidable. Boys & Guns21 May 2006 07:39 PM Actually, my daughter likes the idea of playing with guns/lasers/blasters etc as toys and I've told her and she now repeats quite categorically that weapons are not toys. They are not fun. It's not fun to try and hurt other people. My nephew does much the same. Sure I played cowboys and indians when I was a kid -- but the shows I watched then shot to wound or to just shoot the gun out of the other person's hand -- they didn't go for gore the way they do now. She doesn't kill enemies when they play super heroes -- she captures them. They go to jail. It's a fine line -- but it's one I hope she sticks with -- I was pleased one day when she went to a party and when they started playing shooting at each other type games my daughter refused to give into peer pressure. Weapons aren't toys and they aren't fun. She'd rather play chase or catch than shoot -- I can go for that. Come and Talk to Me20 May 2006 07:32 PM Your comment is out of this world fantastic! Thank you so much for saying what you said here. I couldn't have said it better myself and I didn't say it in so many words in this post. It is very important that we love ourselves and that we care. The weight is a symptom of a much greater issue -- and thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I hope you come back! Why do some couples not want a traditional ceremony?20 May 2006 07:31 PM TB, as always -- it's great to hear from you. I love the story of your wedding! Especially the Rock Lobster! Thank you so much for sharing that with us! Omega 3 & Weight Loss20 May 2006 07:30 PM My pleasure. We've gotten on a salmon eating kick here at the house. My husband who used to hate fish has come to discover that he really enjoys a good grilled salmon. Salmon can be quite tasty when grilled with a little lime and pepper! The Little Things20 May 2006 07:28 PM Thank you all for your kind thoughts. He's doing okay. Five days in the splint and he's in a better frame of mind than I would be. I'd go stark raving mad if my arm were all locked up. I broke my left wrist about seven years ago -- and that was enough to make me crazy and it wasn't even my dominent arm. The hardest job right now is keeping him from pushing his limits too far. Otherwise, he's doing great! Friday, May 12 - Wedding Funnies13 May 2006 08:37 AM I'd probably have been a bit upset over the last one myself! But as a joke it is pretty funny! Do You Act Fat?13 May 2006 08:36 AM Thanks Jaime! It was just one of those conversations that you have and then you start really thinking about it.
