sawatzky The return on investment on MyLot is absolutely dismal. I can't sneeze without having to pay someone $120, and that's what you're talking about earning in a whole year. How much time does that take? Your kids could make ten times that much selling lemonade on...

sawatzky A computer without software is just a box. That's the hardware. The operating system is software. The email program is software. The web browser is software. If that is all he cares to do, that's fine. He doesn't have to buy any extra software. The only way...

sawatzky I would support your husbands desire to help a friend, but make it very clear that some sacrifices will have to be made... get rid of cable TV, or downgrade your internet account, or sell off an extra vehicle, or take out a short term loan to do it... or tell...

sawatzky I think that bringing the question of sin into this is juvenile. The apostle Paul wrote that "all things are lawful, but not all things are profitable". and "If you're hand causes a brother to stumble, it would be better if you cut it off"... the point is that...

sawatzky I face this at work every day. I hear flimsy excuses, but no one wants to really get into it... and I don't think that Christians are even called to argue about their faith. If Christians were able to just live out their faith in a peaceful way - for...

sawatzky I like black on other people but I rarely wear black. It attracts fuzz lint cat/dog hair dandruff dust... I don't need that kind of trouble. At the office the other day 5 people were standing around, all wearing black. It looked like a funeral. So yeah, we...

Is there a word you habitually misspell even though you know how to spell it?

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 25 Apr 09

This drives me nuts (and it's a pretty short drive)! I KNOW how to spell "window" and have spelled it correctly all my life. However, the past 6 months or so when I type "window" it nearly always comes out "winder". My relatives...

sawatzky How do you define equality? I think that you'll find that what God values is much different than what the world values... Money Wealth Power... those are the world's things. You can't take that with you. We all are made in the image of God, in that we're...
