My 2 month old son recently passed away and I have received so many sympathy cards. This may seem like an odd question but am I supposed to respond with a thank you to all of them? I have already sent thanks you to the funeral home and our town for donating services and gravesites. I am planning on sending thank yous to anyone who gave us money or helped us out but I am still left with 50+ cards. Under normal circumstances I would with no questions asked but this is a very daunting task for me right now.

Anyone have any experience with this?

The following excerpt forbids members from receiving Blood Transfusions:

"of the Holy Scriptures in this regard subject the dedicated, baptized receiver of blood transfusion to being disfellowshipped from the Christian congregation?
The inspired Holy Scriptures answer yes....According to the law of Moses, which set forth shadows of things to come, the receiver of a blood transfusion must be cut off from God's people by excommunication or disfellowshiping....if in the future he persists in accepting blood transfusions or in donating blood toward the carrying out of this medical practice upon others, he shows that he has really not repented, but is deliberately opposed to God's requirements. As a rebellious opposer and unfaithful example to fellow members of the Christian congregation he must be cut off therefrom by disfellowshiping." - The Watchtower 01/15/1961 pp. 63, 64

In my town there was just a horrible house fire....supposedly a 10 year old boy set a fire..."it was intentionally set but the outcome was not"...resulting in 3 children(mother is still alive, childless) and his own mother and sister dying in it. He was in a house of "supposed" drug addicts and his father just died in July from full blown aids...They are trying him with 5 counts of murder and 1 count of aggrevated arson...my question is what do you think his punishment should be? Keep in mind he is 10 and most of us has been curious about fire when we were younger...

for not thinking ahead, for not looking towards the future, but instead rewards them for their short comings..... Will people learn from their mistakes? Will future generations learn responsibility if their irresponsibility is rewarded by hard working tax payers? If all of a sudden the government provides for everyone who has made bad decisions and didn't use their heads, where do you think we'll be 50 years from now.... IF we can survive?

So, my daughter is starting to stand up on her own as long as she has a table or something to pull up from and hold on to. She's 11 months old. My wife and I are worried that she will be tempted to learn how to walk, and we are scared that she will fall down. How can I prevent her from attempting to walk until she is a little older, like at least four or five?

better person? Just between you and I...I don't even know if i believe in God, but I think if I stopped throughout the day to focus on what I am thankful for and what I would like help with maybe I would have a better quality of life.

In the modern remake of the Battlestar Galactica series done by the Sci-Fi Channel the Colonials are depicted as being polytheistic (in fact, worshipping Gods and Goddesses very similar to those of ancient Greece and Rome). Their opponents the Cylons are monotheistic and believe that their God wants them to exterminate the Humans (even though there are individual Cylons who do not embrace this policy).

Is this a case of Art imitating History? After all, the Christian Church after it was made legal then adopted a policy of exterminating Pagans in forced conversion campaigns.....

I was just wondering, since my school is charging $1 for a temporary ID (valid for that day only) AND for the first offense you get lunch detention; second a referral, etc. And for a NEW ID it is 5 dollars.

Isnt there some law about it being unlawful for the school to charge students for something that they require you to have?

I just got an email from Howard Dean cause I'm on that email list when he sends out the emails to the public asking me to write my congressman about the Bush vetoing the kids health care thing.

Does he think I am stupid?

These politicans they do this kinda stuff all the time to get the base all whiped up into a frenzy.

Its like this bill, it covered more kids than were in need, its not a good bill it costs too much money.
So Bush vetoes this so the democrats can get us all worked up and bent out of shape,
and the bill wanted to raise cigarette taxes,

so now Republicans are running around like chickens with their head chopped off saying heh look at us we faught a tax cut!

Its like flag burning, they waste their time on flag burning and then go home and campaign on the issue.

Meantime, how many poor kids really are without health insurance?

How about we get a decent piece of legislation for them?

I am "shocked awake" each morning when my boys hit the ice cold water of the bowl... It's like a freaking Siberian lake! On the other hand the jolt is sufficient enough to wake me up and keep me awake without coffee so I can save some money.. What to do?
