    Mandatory reading time at home?

    Hay, I reckon it depends on the situation. Particularly if you're having certain issues or problems with your child. The one thing you lack as far as an insight is the knowledge of the parental love. It is amazingly strong and changes your views on things. General things are easy, but it's...

    Mandatory reading time at home?

    "Cricket is like baseball on valium" To Motokid's credit, as a parent, I do find it funny when people who don't have kids give advice on how to raise a child. In this case, I think people are drawing from their own reading experiences.

    The Interview With God

    Yes, conditioning exists, BUT there is still an element of good and evil in society. Maybe it is because we're humans. That's one of the things that separates us from the animals, that we have morality. For instance Jefferey Dahmer, he was bad, period. Mother Theresa, she was good, period...

    The Interview With God

    Whew! What ARE you on about? You're looking far too deeply into something that is obvious. Right and wrong exsists. Accept it.

    The Interview With God

    I disagree bobbyburns. There is a huge difference between someone who rushes into a burning building to save someone and an axe murderer. Do you truly think that the person running into the building is doing it for pleasure? I think it's an automatic response... to save someone. You saying...

    Letter Writing and Pen Palling

    I used to have a penpal long ago... 20 years ago or so and we used to play chess through the mail. That was fun!

    Mandatory reading time at home?

    I don't agree with enforced reading. I understand what you're trying to do but in the end, it has to be your daughter's choice to read. I've tried to get my daughter to read in every imaginable way. NOTHING worked! She's almost 15 and the best I can get out of her is the fact that she...

    What do bookworms do for exercise?

    You're such a sweet guy, aren't you? Lentils are quite tasty, I reckon. Bitter old coot!

    Books you've grown out of

    Jean M Auel. Loved her when I was about 14. When her new book came out, I realised why. I read some of it aloud to he who smells nicely after showering and he said "That's kids speaking, right?" and I answered "No". He said "Put it away then!" and I did.

    What do bookworms do for exercise?

    I used to fancy myself a triathlete but he who has smelly feet reminded me that triathletes swim, so a duathlete I became. I don't cycle anymore, although I like going for a trot. I also walk to and from Uni (40 mins. up and 30 mins down, twice a week). I have home exercise equipment (stair...

    Are Dogs Like Their Owners?

    I have a black lab X kelpie. He doesn't know he's a dog. He who likes to sleep in has a rat named Cora, affectionately called "Piggo".

    I have nasty, weird neighbors - help!

    Ok, not only am I an avid reader, I'm also EXTREMELY paranoid. Everyone is up to deviousness as far as I am concerned (maybe even I am too). I say voodoo. Perhaps a secret cult. See any robes or funny hats? Snakes? To make them stop would be to curse them, I suppose. To mask the smell...

    Where do books take you?

    I agree cajunmama. I go everywhere and only when on a kick (Geisha kick, holocaust kick, Vietnam kick, etc) do I go anywhere in particular. I've been around the world many times over.

    Favorite song lyrics

    In my current state of mind... I know your life is empty And you hate to face this world alone So your searching for an angel Someone who can make you whole... I can not save you... I can't even save myself... So save yourself I know that you've been damaged You soul has...

    21 Grams

    I thought it was ok. I watched it about 2 months ago. The weekend after watching it, I walked into the video rental place with he who makes a steak sauce named after himself. I browse. I pick up a box and say "Hey, how about this one?". He who has bad taste in shoes says "We saw that last week"...
