I have an idea for a discussion. That is good, I guess. If I write that discussion tonight, then I will have to think of something else to write tomorrow, and I am lazy. If I write that discussion tonight, I will have more...

Jo Hill I feel there are certain kinds of people when it come's to doctors. There are the one's who ask question, listen to the doctor's advice and work with them to get better. Then, there are the one's who go, make the doctor's figure out what is wrong with them,...

These are two economical staples that we are using today. I wanted to use Bob's grandma's recipe for baked beans, except I am using a crock pot. While doing those beans up, I cooked enough to add to three bean salad, a cold...

My take is children have their own agency and autonomy, and sometimes parents cannot always control their actions. This means that they are individuals with their own thoughts, feelings, and desires. They have the ability to make...

Jo Hill I have thought on this a lot before answering. I have worked with many kids in the past that have disabilities of all sorts. I can honestly say this much. It depends on the child. Not the age or the way the kid was raised alone. Some kids, I have met in my...
