tradition? I ask my question this way because I find it difficult to remember that Christmas isn't just about buying gifts, going to parties, and decorating the tree, it's about remembering the birth of the One who gave us the ultimate gift.

I really enjoy having lots of family over on Christmas Eve and Day and everyone in the kitchen taking turns making yummy eats. Playing games after opening gifts and just getting to spend time with family.
But I also think we (my family) should do more to remember Christ at Christmas instead of thinking of it as a winter family reunion.

She is 12 years old and has had minimal contact with other dogs in life. Do you think a puppy will be a benefit to her or just plain stressful?

For many, a personal car is not a necessity. But, it can be difficult to break the automobile habit. Psycological hurdles can be even bigger than logistical hurdles.

I'm digging for positive encouragement to send to a family member who is *this close* to going car-free!

Help me out: What is your favorite aspect of a car-free lifestyle?

I have a tight budget to throw a surprise birthday party. Would it be inappropriate to ask a few close friends to bring some appetizers or drinks to the party?

Picture this...a man & woman (maybe his wife) are driving home after a romantic dinner (maybe their anniversary...ooooo), neither of them had had a drop of alchohol to drink yet, but they purchase a bottle of wine before going home. They then get pulled by a police officer who sees the unopened bottle sitting on the front seat between the couple (or maybe it's in the back seat). The couple are clearly 100% sober- BAC of 0.00%.

Now the question is...Can a police officer write a DUI ticket for the simple fact that there is a bottle of alchohol within reach of one driving? (remeber the bottle is unopened; also, you can assume that all field tests were passed and the driver passed the breathalyzer)
If yes...would a policer officer ever write the ticket?

As a corollary...Would a prosecutor ever fight to enforce the ticket?

i've been seeing a co-worker for about two months and after being together one night I got pregnant. He is ok with me keepin it...but we're not a couple. I talk to him everyday and sometimes we hang out, but how can I have a baby by someone that I'm not really with. though I do like him very much... I think it would be awkward since I also just ended a 4 year relationship.
would it be awfully wrong to go on with it?

Our mind IS the source of our happiness and our suffering !!
The Dharma teaches humanity how to work with the mind and emotions effectively. How to subdue disturbing thoughts/emotions and how to enhance all the positive wholesome mental faculties, such as Patience, peace, gentleness, self-control, No Harm toward others, forgiveness, happiness, etc.
Each of us want to be happy and to do our best to avoid pain and suffering. Our mind - our thoughts, attitudes, intensions, views and emotions, are the primary factors contributing to our experiences of pain, suffering, and peace, happiness.
Working with Emotions: The Dharma teaches us so much concerning working successfully with our emotions. It teaches how the cultivation of Patience and loving-kindness opposses and erradicates anger; and wisdom demolishes
ignorance. It teaches insight which dispels pride; mindfulness meditation dispels anxiety and depression;meditating on compassion counter-acts a poor self-esteem.READtheDharma!

I made an appoitment with a specialist MD, but the docter's office had me see a physician assistant instead, they still charge me 25 dollars for the office visit. Is it right that I just need to pay 15 dollars for a physician assistant's visit?

How about HATRED of your own President in times of WAR ?

Don't ya think that some of that HATRED that brews within you, could be 'controlled' like what is expected of ALL ADULTS ?

Or. . . . Do you think that ADULTS shouldn't exhibit 'control' of their emotions ?
