ljcapps about the only time I won't turn off my phone on a whim is when I am away from my son. I don't care where I am or what I am doing if my son or one of his teachers needs to get a hold of me there will be no problem.

asgtswife04 @asgtswife04 (2475) • United States 12 Dec 07

I have been seeing all of these trailors for the movie and have watched several issues on this movie and i can honestly say, as a Christian, my child WILL NOT go see this movie. They are saying that if this one makes a lot of...

ljcapps I would do the adult thing and make my own determination. If your child expresses an interest in seeing it, go and see it without him or her and evaluate it for your self. Also don't forget that your child knows that it is a movie, therefore like most movies,...

ljcapps There is almost always a better way to handle a situation than turning to violence. I would credit the rise in childhood violance to a lack of parental involvement and time. Everything in today's world is about rush rush rush. and with all of that rushing...

Rent VS Buy

eftychiap @eftychiap (349) • Cyprus 14 Nov 07

Would you rent a house forever or would you like to buy and own a house? I believe nowadays it is very expensive to buy your own house or build one. It is cheaper to rent a place without having to get a loan, having a monthly...

ljcapps Personally no, renting is never better. If you can get a loan why would you want to pay for someone else's mortgage? When you are renting that is exactly what you are doing. If you are making a house payment rather than a rent payment you are building your own...
