" ...in 1659, a law was passed by the General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony requiring a five-shilling fine from anyone caught "observing any such day as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing of labor, feasting, or any other way." Christmas Day was deemed by the Puritans to be a time of seasonal excess with no Biblical authority."

"it wasn't until June 26, 1870 that the federal government declared Christmas as a federal holiday."

I used to know how to sew with a needle and a thread but I've forgotten (I haven't sewed in about 5-7 years). Are there any websites that'll help me re-learn?

Thanks! :)

So what is the worst news you have ever received, whether it be a death, divorce, etc.?

Mine came just a few days ago. I'm 15 and my parents have divorced. I was expecting that and I knew it was for the best and am kind of relieved actually. They are both SO much happier.

But the bad thing is, my dad has been out of work for a few years now and he had been struggling to find a job that he enjoys and does well. He finally got a job... in Seattle (I'm in Kansas) and he is moving in less than 2 weeks.

I'm torn. I don't want him to move at all, but I know it is for the best because he is happiest when he is working.

Has anyone ever tried the Cheetos Diet? You just eat Cheetos and drink water. Do you think you would lose weight?

i pretty much don't care about their facial appearance
if they have these they have charismatic looks, which i look for
if i can go for more, tall, slim and athletic

I'd like to plan a really nice vacation for my family... which is my my husband and I and our 12 year old daughter.
Any ideas would be great, and if you could give a general price on what it would be. It would probably be for a week and maybe next year around November... but it's all flexable.
Thanks for any ideas.

I have a friend who wants to buy my 128mb memory card from me. We aren't super close so I don't just want to give it away. How much would you sell it for? When I bought it it was a few years back and sold for $50.

We do, sometimes........ Me and my twin sister Chelsea always joke around, my little brother Ted always says when he's scared, "Mom, can I sleep in Tommy's room?" And my sister Joleen and I always tease each other--in a good way, of course...... And I taught my brother to pray, "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, who's the fastest gets the most. Amen."

Are there any restaurants that begin serving dinner at 3 or 4 p.m.? I know this is a silly question, but I'm not looking for a diner or a coffee house and I've searched a ton of websites and called a zillion places and most start serving around 5 p.m. My company is entertaining some clients and they'd like to eat prior to the night event that's scheduled. The only thing I haven't looked at are the restaurants in the hotels ....Any suggestions .. preferably in the French Quarter.

My husband and I have his children every other night and every other weekend, so it is split 50/50. His ex does not have a phone, she lives with her bf and he is so jealous that when she uses his phone she dials star 67 so the number shows up private. This is so ridiculous to us, cuz we have no way of contacting the children on days they are with her or if something happened. She also does not have bedrooms for the children, they moved into the house in April and have been working on finishing the basement ever since so they can have rooms, so now they sleep in the living room together. They are 11 yr. old boy and 9 yr. old girl. Is there anything we can do about the phone situation or anything else?
