  I think it was Mark Twain that said, “… the easiest way to be happy is to try to make someone else happy”. Well… it goes along the same lines… the easies way to learn is to teach… the easiest way to get is to give… the easiest way to be loved is to love.
  
  There ya go :)

• (6 votes) i need help.
  

  I’ll start with a little story… a priest was walking down a country road one day. He found himself feeling dismayed and disappointed as he passed by farm after farm that looked to be falling apart… the field growing high with weeds, the fences in disrepair, the farm houses looking like they were abandoned… then, as he kept walking he came across a farm that looked fantastic. The fences were all repaired and with a fresh coat of whitewash, the fields were all neatly trimed and plowed, the farm house looked like a classic victorian with brightly painted ‘gingerbread trim’…. as he walked he came across the farmer who was sitting on his tracker, but at the moment was taking a break drinking some lemonade. The priest called out to the farmer, and said, “The lord has truly blessed you with a beautiful farm my friend”. The farmer looked down at the priest from his tractor, and said, “yes father, the good Lord in heaven has been good to me, and has given me many blessings… But you should have seen this dam* place before I CAME ALONG!”
  
  The moral of the story… yes, We can look to God to fix our problems… but God only supplies the raw data, or gross materials… the rest is up to us! So, yes… the Universe, God, The Source; whatever you want to call the higher power, will send you what you ask for, but you need to be focused and you need to be prepared to 1) act quickly when it is sent, and 2) be willing to work with what is sent a little bit.
  
  So, What is your dream. If you want an extraordinary life, you need to have a dream, or a vision of what you want to be… where you want to go. Something that will inspire you… to PULL you forward. YOUR LIFE HAS NOT BEEN A MISTAKE. Everything in your life has brought you to RIGHT HERE. And this is where you are supposed to be RIGHT NOW. Right now is all you have… dwell in the past, it is the past you will keep reliving. Dwell in the future, and you will live in a dream. Dream your dream, and LIVE in right now, making the choices to make your dream come true.
  Bright blessings~

• (2 votes) Does a 7 Year Old have the right to say no?
  

  A daddy is the man that picks up and holds his son or daughter when they are crying letting them know there are worse things in the world than a scraped knee. A daddy is the man that takes his son or daughter to the game and supports them, even if they do miss the goal. A daddy is the man teaches his son or daughter what honor is and integrity; a man that teaches his son never to mistreat or malign another. A daddy are these things and so much more. So many fathers do not qualify to be daddys… they are (as Dr. Laura would call them) little more than ’sperm donners’).
  
  In terms of your issue and question - Do you have a divorce decree that can be enforced in a court of law? If your ex-husband have legal rights then your child unfortunately has no rights, as a minor, in a legal situation. HOWEVER - if that does not exist, and you have been the primary custodial parent for the majority of the time, then YOU have the right (and DUTY) to protect and serve your minor child. If your child does not want to go and you feel it will harm him further, then as a mother you have a duty to protect your child.

• The battle of the sexes; be all you’re supposed to be.
  

  [quote babacup]I just finished listening to Alison Armstrong. Do you know if they have the second part of her interview up yet? I think I agree with a lot of what she was saying but not 100%. I would like to hear more.[/quote]
  
  Unfortunately that was the only podcast I could find. I origianlly hear her with Jennifer McLean’s telecalls for “Healing with the Masters” series. I thought she hit men right on the money. I think many women may disagree with some of her views regarding women, but it makes you think though hey?? :)

• i find wrestling kind’a gay.
  

  Are you a wrestler? Are you gay? Classic wrestling is as ancient as the Greek Gods and Goddesses… Grecian wrestling was part of the start of the first Olympic Games way back when the world was young. I think if you ever wrestled, you’d learn it is a sport of strength, skill, and strategy.

• I’m trying to write a story…can someone tell me how the beginning sounds?
  

  Much better… but I would still go for less personally… something like:
  
  It was spring, and the warm verdant forest was a stark contrast to the battle taking place in the bay below Capt. Nedion. The Capt. leaned against a solid oak looking down at the death and destruction … wreckage from the ships mingled with spring pollens floating on the surface of the bay created an eerie sense of chaos. From the corner of is eye, Nedion spied a falling oak leaf drifting down into the bay, like so many other dead soldiers. Weary and hoarse from barking orders Nedion says, “We’re doing exceptionally well in the water! Inform Mr. Short of our impending victory, I believe he will be pleased that his ships haven’t taken on much water, and his industry will stay afloat. Also be sure to let him know his investment as a business man and a friend will garner great rewards.”

• The battle of the sexes; be all you’re supposed to be.
  

  I understand that, and I’m sorry we’ll have to respectfully disagree with each other. I find the biological differences of the the genders to be very significant. Hormones create huge differences for the genders… I will never know the pains of menses… or PMS. Of course it’s not really the biological differences that I’m referring to in my post, but the impact of these differences on we the men and women that must live with them. Truthfully science has gone back and forth on these hormones… and yes, both sexes have both hormones only in hugely different amounts … but I fail to see how something so biologically altering cannot have an impact on the people that carry them.

• The battle of the sexes; be all you’re supposed to be.
  

  [quote Anonymous][quote Richard Cor de Lyon]
  I understand your point Anon… but I’m not speaking from a strictly socio/economic perspective here. The women that agree with it still have a feeling of there softer, nuturing side. They know that they feel, and they know men don’t (as much). They know they can think circles around men, because men think in a VERY linear way… Like it or not, I believe women are getting tired of being “equal” to men[/quote]
  
  I don’t believe that is true. I’ve encountered nothing to suggest that there are any significant inherited differences between the genders. Probably the greatest differences between genders are those created by parents and culture. Deciding how to treat people based on premature and unproven conclusions of how the should be treated is a sure fire recipe to harming someone.[/quote]
  
  Wow… no inherited differences between genders? That is why there is two genders not one; because of the differences. Men have a penis… women do not. Women have larger breasts and functioning mammary glands… men do not… neither do men give birth to babies (thank God)… the differences between the genders are pages long. Primary to the differences are estrogen and testosterone… These hormones do not only influence the body, but the brain and our emotional lives as well.
