What do you do?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 27 Jul 09

Yesterday we went out to eat at a sit down restaurant with our 5 kids, ages 12, 6,6, 3 and 1. We were seated next to a rather obnoxious group of people who were talking about things that young children should not hear. These were...

dcwike Yes, I HAVE come across situations like that and, the BEST thing you can do is approach the host/hostess and politely asked to be seated in another area as soon as you noticed the loud, ill reputable language. Usually you can discover it while you wait for the...

dcwike Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... First of all, let's reflect on history. In the days of old marriage was not an individual choice, but a decision made between two family - heads or countries, which involved politics and wealth. Love between the married parties...

dcwike Thank you for the interesting question, shekelshekenah. My thoughts on that is it depends on what day one considers as the first or last day of the week (7th day). In all actuality, some consider Sunday as the 7th day, while others consider it the first....

How Do you define Love?

missak @missak (3311) • Spain 29 Oct 07

As you can see, I like difficult questions, so you can get a bit poetic in your answers... I think that love cna only be defined, explained, etc via arts, such as poetry. So go on, what is love for you??

dcwike Love is the magic that brings happiness to life. It is the energy of the soul, the motivation of spirit. And brings forth a passion so rich and true. Whether it be love between a man and a woman, parent and child, or even in friendship or relative, it...

coffeebreak @coffeebreak (17798) • United States 28 Oct 07

Anyone have any? I only have a few days with her prior, in which she can do them, but I haven't a clue. I look at some of these craft sites, and the stuff is cute, but rather useless and not much worth the effot. My GD loves being...

dcwike Oh, there's lots of things a 7-year-old can do and, with just a few simple tools, such as paper, crayons, scissors, and school glue. Especially this time of year. Take her out to a park or just for a walk in the neighborhood to gather a few fallen leaves...

kgwat70 @kgwat70 (13387) • United States 21 Oct 07

I went for a walk at a nearby park this morning and was gone for a couple of hours. When I got home these people were just sitting in their van and felt a bit suspicious. As soon as I got out of my car they approached me and said...

dcwike I don't think it's "necessary" to "join" any particular church to show proof that you are a believer or to be approved or accepted by God. Churches are there for those who seek guidance with others who choose to worship God in the same manner. I, myself,...

Abortion without religion

sunshinecup @sunshinecup (7871) 27 Dec 06

I would like to hear views on abortion, without the use of ones religion. I think it would be interesting to hear some point of views based on rational facts that everyone could relate to. Such as, I support the right of...

dcwike We are human. We can think. We can choose. Where would you be if your mother chose to abort you? We are above animal, yet, we have animal instincts. And, we KNOW how babies are created. No offense to pro choice, but, unless pregnancy is life threatening...

I got a call from the principal of the high school today. Apparently my 17 yr old son, who is a junior, skipped school. He just up and left after 4th period. I asked him about it and he told me some of the guys at school were...

dcwike First of all it is sad to be on the receiving end of bullying. Second, and even sadder, is that the authorities can do little unless there is bodily harm. Third, and, even harder to comprehend, is that bullying is a natural occurrance among young peers. I...

dcwike When I first read Shaanigi's question, I wondered why the question was brought up. Perhaps shaanigi is of the Muslim faith, and, due to the issue of world terrorism being associated with the Muslim faith, shaanigi is experiencing unfavorable behavior...

dcwike In order for me to understand where tangible was coming from I have looked up "Wicca," using the Wikipedia site - as tangible professes to be "Wiccan." It was quite interesting. While I do not know tangible's inlaws or his wife's friends, it seems to me...

dcwike Hi imadriscoll. Thank you for introducing this interesting topic. I've raised 3 children, and, have learned that parenting is often trial and error - and, knowing the child's progress in individual logic is important. How did the child act when he made...
