My cousin called me up yesterday. She had been worrying about her daughter in first grade. The child left the classroom in the middle of a seatwork. Apparently, she did not want to answer the questions anymore. The questions were...

lmurdock I have to agree. The subject matter that was being covered in the elementary classroom is largely irrelevant. One of the objectives of formal education is to teach kids new things, expose the students to new ideas, etc. Becoming easily frustrated with a new or...

We live in a society that throws the words love and hate around like they are candy at a Mardi Gras parade. When it comes to love, we seem less hesitant to stop and examine the meaning of the word and whether we do love the person...

lmurdock That is crazy. I suppose I would feel sad for someone like that. I can't believe someone would shoot at your home, with or without kids, but especially with. That brings up another subject - Do you find you lose your cool more quickly when someone attacks your...

What is your favourite book of all time? Mine is Cross Stitch by Diana Gabaldon, which has the title of Outlander in the US. I love her books as they have a bit of everything - drama, romance, family saga, etc. I also love Jane...

lmurdock I think the Coulter FBI books are realistic. They don't get to detailed into forensics. It is more cat and mouse, kind of old school FBI detectives. Although, she recently released a new one entitled Whiplash. I have no idea what direction Coulter will take...

lmurdock Wow, thanks for sharing that story. See, if you haven't been in a situation like the one you mentioned - and I'm sure there are others out there who have had similiar horrid experiences - it is difficult to concieve of real, honest to goodness hate. It has to...

lmurdock I know what you mean Beautyfactor. You always have the option of walking away. YOu don't HAVE to be friends, but you don't HAVE to hate. Would you say hate, then, is a choice? Anger is an emotion. Nothing you can do to control its emergence in a relationship...

lmurdock A great website to catalog your books is goodreads.com. You can also get great suggestions and read user friendly reviews. I sometimes find their book reviews more helpful than New York Times Book reviews, etc.

I think the use of this movie in a lit class was a little assinine. However, had this not been assigned to someone in my family I would have never chosen to watch it. Having watched it, I have to say that it does lay out for you...

lmurdock Any particular reason why you don't? I think it pushes some buttons and could create some interesting discussions. (I don't care for the Mrs. Robinson tie-in, the generational thing, etc..that is kind of sick.)

In a previous discussion several people responded that they did better work when they felt the pressure of a deadline. A lot of writers wait until the last minute. Why do you think that is? Are there so many ideas in your head you...

lmurdock I hadn't thought about the adrenaline rush of meeting a deadline. I guess that is true in most professions. I'm glad I'm not the only one with ideas running through my head. I do the same thing at night, but I'll just get up and turn on the light, or grab...

I like a Third Day since they form into a Band. I love thier songs and their music. It's good to see while they perform Gospel Concert. They are energetic and active for the Christ. I really like them.

lmurdock I think Third Day is not only a great band to listen to, but they have a powerful ministry with their music. They started out in a Church close to my home, so a lot of people around here know them, or used to......They are genuine. I like the fact that on...

lmurdock I learned html codes from webmonkey.com. I had to create a website for a couple of companies and kind of did it by the seat of my pants. Once you get the hang of it, it isn't too hard. The great thing now is, most websites have simple menus that will add html...
