Kim Davis is not the modern-day Martin Luther King Jr.

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 5 Sep 15

Nor is allowing same-sex marriage equality akin to Hitler's systematic (and legal at that time) extermination of anyone that didn't conform to his standards of a perfect human. There, it's been said. I think it needed to be...

Say it with me, "Communication is key."

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 3 Sep 15

I was taught this from a very young age, but it seems some people don't get this. For example, my daughter's school. Which is apparently, inexplicably, closed today. Of course, I would've liked to have known this, being that I...

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 2 Sep 15

I remember having this conversation with I want to say it was @topffer (though I could be wrong) about the addition of the delete button and what its merits and detriments were. Of course, there are two sides to every argument,...

Idris Elba as James Bond?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 1 Sep 15

I've been hearing rumors of this, and I've been reading some very interesting articles. There seems to be this debate going on about Idris Elba and whether he should play James Bond. Then, of course, the question inevitably turns...

Kids Say the Darndest Things

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 1 Sep 15

Everyone knows this is fundamentally true, enough so that an entire comedy show was dedicated to this. But I think people underestimate exactly how true this is until they start spending a lot of time around kids. At least, I did....

How Not to Choose A Password: Compliments of Ashley Madison

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 27 Aug 15

I found this article this morning on Yahoo, and I found it rather interesting. For those that don't know, Ashley Madison is a hook-up site for married people to have affairs on their spouses. Pretty shady stuff. Probably why it...

Are the SOPA/PIPA blackouts an abuse of power?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 18 Jan 12

Chris Dodd, chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), released a statement saying that these blackouts are an abuse of power of these sites. To be honest, it really isn't much of a surprise that he...

What will you do if SOPA/PIPA is passed?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 18 Jan 12

This is mostly geared towards US citizens as we will be limited the most (though I do not by any means intend to discourage non-US citizens to post as it will effect you to some degree as well). My big question today...

When did your child cut their first tooth?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 14 Jul 11

My daughter is now 5 months old and she's been teething for 3 months, but nothing so far. She's starting to hit the really cranky stage the past couple of days where her gums are really bothering her. I can't tell if there's...

What's the one game you just can't stop playing?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 14 Jul 11

I used to be a big gamer, but since my daughter's been born I just haven't had time to play games like I used to. But I still find time to play this one browser-based MMO game called Fallen Sword. It's really something you only...

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 13 Jul 11

My husband turns 21 on July 27 and I'm currently trying to figure out what the heck we're going to do to celebrate! I know the tradition is to go out and get drunk since that's what most people do to celebrate being able to...

If you could work from home, would you?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 13 Jul 11

This is something I've been thinking about lately. I gave birth to my daughter 5 months ago but I've been working from home since I quit my job when I was about 3 or 4 months pregnant because of issues. Since I was little I've...

Advice on losing that dreaded baby weight?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 10 May 11

It's been three months and this baby weight is starting to drive me crazy. I know that it's going to take time to lose it, but I had pre-eclampsia so I gained a lot more weight than I should have all in the last couple of weeks,...

What did you do for Mother's Day?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 9 May 11

Yesterday was Mother's Day and it was the first Mother's Day that I celebrated as a mother. My daughter is just under 3 months old, so there wasn't much she could do, but we did go out to dinner and do a bit of shopping because I...

What do you do to enjoy life every day?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 15 May 10

I managed to find a sign at Big Lots that I was really excited about finding. It says "Every day do one thing that will take your breath away". It was the first thing we hung up on the wall in our new house and I do try to live by...

What is your favorite book of all time?

Would you take in a horse?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 19 Mar 10

Someone I know is currently going through this, so I wanted to see what everyone else thinks. If you were buying a house with a barn and there was a horse in the barn that was clearly malnourished and not being properly taken...

Would you pay to use Facebook?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 18 Mar 10

There's been rumors that Facebook will charge for using their services. Even though Facebook representatives have denied there will be charges for "basic services", it still raises questions about whether or not they'll have a...

How did you decide on your children's names?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 16 Mar 10

I always think it's interesting hearing how people choose the names for their children. For us, even though we don't have children just yet, we wanted to name our first girl Rena Marie after my husband's grandmother and our...

Is there one show you just watch over and over again?

Phyrre @phyrre (2317) • United States 14 Mar 10

My husband always teases me because when he watches a show he usually watches it once and that's it. If it's really good he might watch it twice, but not usually more than that (with the exception of South Park). For me, I have...
