MichellinaGem To respond well to this the idea of betrayal needs to be expanded on. Either way the best thing to do would be to discuss the situation with your wife. Unless you have been having serious problems before this I am sure she would not have intentionally done...

The Big Bang Theory and God

randis1 @randis1 (112) • United States 29 Mar 09

What implications does the Big Bang have for the existence or the non-existence of God? The Big Bang is the standard paradigm of physics and cosmology. It holds that around 14.6 billion years ago the universe came into existence...

MichellinaGem I don't think you can believe the Big Bang theory if you believe in God. I am sorry but can you truly tell me you believe that the entire universe with all it's intricacies started from absolutely nothing and by accident?? There are too many interrelated...

glords @glords (2614) • United States 6 Feb 09

My son is now 19 months old and I still have to rock him to sleep every day for a nap and every night for bed. He has suffered with many many ear infections, and seems to be constantly ill, so I feel guilty letting him cry. Do you...

MichellinaGem I understand how hard it is to let your child cry. Luckily all of mine have been taught from the first day to go to sleep on their own mostly. I occasionally rock them to sleep while they are very little, I still rock the youngest who is four months sometimes....

Counting Posts?

Tinkerbell7 @Tinkerbell7 (160) • United States 6 Feb 09

I have been busy posting this morning and just noticed something odd. It seems the number beside my screen name only changes when I create a new discussion OR post to a topic. If I respond directly to a comment then it doesn't...

MichellinaGem I am fairly new here myself, however as I understand it you are correct. Commenting on a comment does not count toward your number of posts or your pay. I think they did this so it was easier ot weed out comments like "I agree" and stuff like that that doesn't...

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 6 Feb 09

What would you do (or what do you do) when your child curses at you? How would you get him, or her, to stop? Yes, that is what is happening to me. It's my son. The worse part, is that "taking away privileges" which, to me...

MichellinaGem While I actuallly do believe in spanking my children, I don't believe in hitting them. I also don't believe that is the best option for this situation. I also know that washing her mouth out with soap never worked on my little sister. Depending on how old he...

MichellinaGem No the main goal of a writer is not neccesarily to write a book. But I would sincerely hope that not too many look at the concept of the internet as replacing the need to write books. Not everyone has access to the internet that can access a library or...

Why do people do such things?

kobussw01 @kobussw01 (6) • South Africa 5 Feb 09

Hi every body! Saw a shocking TV program this morning, about people who voluntarily took on a foster child and then ill-treated him, kept him locked up and drugged a lot of the time. Are people mad? Why do they undertake such...

MichellinaGem Unfortunately it does typically boil down to money, or worse. Hopefully the child recovers well and goes on to find a good loviing family. Too many places have their resources stretched beyond limits to find homes and get the childrern in them. Which means...

MichellinaGem Yes it says to submit to your husband. Which I believe is correct, however too many people over look a couple other things said nearby in the Bible. 1. Actually in that passage it says to submit "as the church submits to Christ". That means to submit about the...

Working vs stay at home

saffrondallas @saffrondallas (290) • South Africa 3 Feb 09

Are there still mothers out there who wish to stay at home with the kids and do not wish to have another career? I'm like that but find that these days, you cannot survive comfortably on one salary, especially with kids.
