lillake Evidence? Sure. It's called paying attention to reality rather than sticking your head in the sand. Her book writer was Lynn Vincent, BFF and co-writer with Robert Stacey McCain - a proud white supremest. It isn't a giant mental leap to take that such close...

lillake She's not very smart and tends to open her mouth to prove that fairly often. She had a book written for her by a known racist that is full of misinformation and lies. And she said Polar Bears aren't endangered, just unlucky.

A jug of fresh flowers, or a nicely arranged artificial bouquet? Personally, as most girls do, I'd prefer a fresh bouquet of flowers. But the practical side of me says that artificial flowers would last so much longer without...

lillake I'd rather have neither. Fake flowers are sometimes made from hazardous materials or sprayed with hazardous chemicals. And I'd rather not pick a plant unless it has a use. My ideal would be a nice potted plant small enough to fit on the table.

Have you ever created a nature study journal? It is a journal where you describe, study, and explore nature. There is a great old book on this called The Handbook of Nature Studies. My son keeps one as part of his schooling. He...

lillake We never did homemade decorations as a kid, but now as an adult I try to do some. We have a wreath that the kids and I made last year, and this year I'm sewing simple felt owls for them. Plus they color and paint trees, candles, and stockings that AI hang up...

I'm just curious what others are doing for Yule or Solstice this year? We are keeping it very simple. A little baking, a little crafting, looking at lights. I'm hoping it will snow, but I doubt it will.

lillake Can I ask if it is difficult when you and your kids celebrate different things? Mine are still very young, so they do whatever I do. I try to incorporate lots of little traditions from many holidays around that time, but it can be a struggle when they just...

Every year I try to make as many gifts as I can instead of buying them. It's a lot cheaper, plus helps keep me out of the consumerism trap. This year there will be cookies, hot chocolate mixes, candles, secret compartment books,...

lillake Lots of reasons. Some simple do not understand science and refuse to begin. They feel science is evil, and only their religion can save anyone. Since there is no global climate change in the bible, then it must not be real. Others are greedy, they make money...

lillake I don't know any atheists who think pokemon were real. Unless you're counting little kids, but I hardly see how little children should be the spokespeople for atheists. Where have you see atheists stating pokemon were real?

If I won the lottery I the first thing I would buy would be a mansion because I just really want a exquisite house. Plus all you really need in life is a house and food.

lillake If I won the lottery I would give some money to my family, then buy ticket to fly to Costa Rica. I don't want a big house or fancy car, I want to live somewhere calm and simple and peaceful.

lillake How-to articles do tend to get upfront payments. I tend to write parenting articles, which do OK but not amazing. Seasonal ones are great too. Right now articles about giving gifts such as gifts to give your boss, and new year's resolutions would be hits.

lillake We recycle, but our town does not do pick up. Once a week I load it up and take it to the drop off place. We do cans, cardboard, paper, and glass. Our local drop off also takes used appliances and such. I also recycle kitchen scraps in a way by tossing them in...
