I hear rumblings among my neighbors and on the radio that there will be people planted at the rallies that will cause trouble and they even hope to cause violence so that tax protesters will be arrested and not want to do anything...

aprilj1231 I do not have a BluRay player. I am a gadget junkie, but I just don't see the purpose in having something that requires me to replace all my dvd's and pay more for them. I am also thrifty too though. I guess for now I'll just stick with the regular old plain...

aprilj1231 Thanks, this made me grin. I do remember the last bird I let fly, it was last Sunday. I was driving down the road and got in the turn lane and even rolled down my window to execute the launch. Why you ask and to whom did I bestow this great honor?...

aprilj1231 Sorry I'm kinda slow responding. Uhm my two younger daughters are very accepting of the new 'older' Dora, they love her long hair. And as far as why age her instead of introducing a new character, why not? I mean my kids are excited because Dora is growing up...

aprilj1231 This brings to mind a comment I heard about Obama prior to the election....I have heard it said that he is like a chameleon, and can be whatever he needs to be at the time. He reminds me of a man who wets his finger and holds it in the air to see which way the...

aprilj1231 Ok, I have to kind of chuckle....I am the mother of three and they are all girls and they all LOVE Dora. My oldest is six and she's lost that pudgy/stocky toddler look. She's tall and slim compared to her two sisters and has transitioned from Dora, who still...

aprilj1231 I think all you can do is be firm and stick to what you say. I have a child who is very easily affected by sugar. I try so hard to watch how much junk she gets, but grandparents and other outside influences always tell me sugar doesn't affect kids like that....

aprilj1231 Church attendence isn't going to save you or not save you. Salvation is based on a faith-based relationship with Jesus Christ. Church attendence is important though because it unifies you with other believers and is intended to help you strengthen your faith....

aprilj1231 So funny! I've seen this happen in real life (well the "Christian" ranting and raving part), so I don't know if the moral of the story should be 'practice what you preach' or "don't say it if you don't mean it.' I think we often forget that as christian, Jesus...
