I only got about 4 hours of sleep because I drank more water than I usually do. Well more water than I have in a long time. I am trying to lose weight and according to Marilu Henner (who lost 56 pounds) says we need to drink half...

kelleydian I understand where you're coming from regarding the diet soda. I'm not hooked on it but it does taste better than plain old water in my opinion. However, it is really bad for us and I think it helps you retain water because of the sodium in it. I could be...

My husband and I have decided to move to a new location due to some changes happening in our home town we are not happy about. Anyway, I was just wondering what your favorite kind of home is? Do you like ranch style, tutor,...

kelleydian Hi Lishiwei, Please tell me more about your homes in China. What are they made of there? I do like woodwork inside the home - more old fashion style not modern. I used to like the other way when I was younger.

kelleydian We currently own a 2 story home. At first I didn't like a ranch style because I thought it would be too crowded. Now, I'm leaning toward a 1 floor ranch style with a full basement because it is definitely a pain to keep the upstairs clean! I agree with you...

kelleydian I totally agree with you hallmarkjl. I don't believe in "punishment" but discipline. You should never discipline a child out of anger. Easier said than done! All my kids are grown and their days of discipline are over, for the most part. But we would tell them...

kelleydian Wow! How interesting. Okay, I dreamt of someone else turning into a werewolf and someone else being in control of doing the turning. So according to what you wrote I might be repressing some feelings. It is that time of the month - wonder if that has anything...

kelleydian I personally don't like being hugged by strange men and it doesn't happen very often if at all. lol I also don't like being hugged by relatives that I haven't seen in a long time. You know, the ones you only see at funerals and weddings. You gave me a good...

My mom, who lives out in the country, has a gopher problem and it's driving her up the wall. She has set traps and caught a few. But she really doesn't like setting traps up because of her black lab. She's afraid that her dog will...

kelleydian I'm not sure a windmill would work. She'd have to get quite a few as she lives on 3 acres and more land around her. But, I will definitely mention it to her because you just never know!

kelleydian Thank you cupoftea! I will definitely tell my mom about your idea of cutting up onions and putting them in their holes. Not sure if she can find them since she lives on 3 acres. But perhaps just setting onions around her house would work? Although it might...

or do you verify what is taught with your Bible? I'll have to admit that I'm pretty lazy when it comes to verifying what my Pastor teaches and I'm going to change that with the next church service. I am not saying that we...

kelleydian Are you talking about other Christian denominations or other religions outside of Christianity? How do we know that Christianity is the correct religion? How do we back up our belief that Jesus died for our sins then rose again and is in heaven with His...

kelleydian That's good raijiin. Do you consult any outside books to help with understanding the Bible? Or do you rely on the Bible to interpret itself? I'll read other books by Christian authors who do a study on a particular book of the Bible. I think they can be...

kelleydian I totally agree with sigma77. I view drug commercials as nothing more than legalized drug pushing! I don't have to worry about my kids getting into my medicine cabinet and getting high on my prescription pills because there are none. I haven't been to a doctor...

Recently I came across an article by the HSLDA (which I had never heard of before) saying that people in California had made it illegal to home school your kids. I thought this was ridiculous as I am a supporter of home schooling...

kelleydian Parents are properly trained to teach their children. God gave them to us to raise not the government. I personally will not hand any child of mine over to the public school system. All three of my children have been home schooled their entire lives. They get...

kelleydian Good ideas! I noticed that you're 16, my son is turning 16 March 20th and I'm going to invite him to join the MyLot community. Right now he hangs out at Braingle, hopefully I can make a convert out of him!
