The Problem with Teenagers and Smoking - Blog Entry19 Apr 2011 09:37 AM I had to comment on this one. There's a family from our church with seven of the most well-behaved children you will ever know. The oldest just turned 17 and got a part time job at a local restaurant. This was a good thing until co-workers got him hooked on cigarettes. Last week I saw him lighting up in the back of the family's van right before Mass. I about died. This kid is as squaeky clean as it gets. I can't believe he got corrupted and I feel for his parents. Still don't know their take on the situation. Walt Disney Pavilion at Florida Hospital for Children - Blog Entry19 Apr 2011 09:34 AM I think it is a wonderful idea, though I hope I never have to use it. I agree about the staffing issue--line's a bit blurry there, but it's Disney so, you know... In Sickness and in Health - Blog Entry07 Apr 2011 01:31 PM I so agree!! How often does it happen that when the going gets tough the tough (or not so tough) get going. And it's not just with physical illness; look at how many spouses hit the road when mental illness rears its head. I know more than my share of women whose spouses walked out after they were diagnosed with PPD... and they didn't get pregnant on their own. Monsters, Marple, and Merida - Blog Entry07 Apr 2011 12:42 PM I have mixed feelings about the Monsters movie. I thought the original was so-so, but my dd didn't like it at all. I figured that they would eventually bring these characters back to life as they have made sequels or prequels to just about every other movie save for UP! MTV's "Teen Mom 2" Star Arrested - Blog Entry07 Apr 2011 12:36 PM I read that the video was a farce and Janelle and crew were offered $5,000 from a website to instigate the fight and shoot it. The thing is that MTV is paying these Teen Moms mucho money (some quote 5 figures) to star on the shows. I'm not sure if the money is put in a trust or what, but they are not participating in the show for free. Farewell to Fairy Tales - Blog Entry07 Apr 2011 12:33 PM I notice too that many of these animated movies that feature animals have the males as the lead and the female animals in supporting roles. Unthinkable - Blog Entry02 Apr 2011 10:33 AM Maybe they will be granted the miracle they are praying for. In the meantime, they are getting a lot of support from people they have never even met. Adding Insult to Injury - Blog Entry02 Apr 2011 10:31 AM No kidding; apparently marriage vows don't mean much to some. A promise is just a promise when it is easy to keep. In this case, when the going gets tough, the tough get going and try to rob the other of the kids in the process. BTW, the judge ruled in the case and granted visitation to the mom on a limited basis. Connecting to My Daughter - Blog Entry02 Apr 2011 10:28 AM I'm with you Stephanie! I always feel uncomfortable when parents admit to not wanting to spend time with their kids, especially when I feel the complete opposite. Hope you had a great time at the waterpark! 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 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 |
