I see a lot of articles that try to sell the idea that women are worthy of worship for very ordinary things like holding a job or refusing to let a man pay for anything they do.

I see articles that speak about brain research & all of the ways that the female brain has so many "women only" abilities. (I see articles about male brain abilities as well, but these are rare. Scientists & journalists alike want to keep their jobs. Larry Summers was a pretty big "red flag.")

I see women talk about how caring & nurturing they are & how men don't communicate or multitask as well as women.

These views are very prevalent it seems. The media is very friendly to this sort of opinion.

No one seems to see this as sexist or wrong or bordering on female supremacy.

It's interesting to me that men can't say even the slightest thing about male ability without it becoming somehow offensive. It's quite interesting, actually

I wonder how much of this is shaping the way we view the sexes.

They are really hard and might kind of hurt your head a bit but can you answer them? They are just one word answers.

1. Changeless course, running through, guiding Fate, what else does it do? Cursing or praising, speak its name, its course can bring you fame or shame.

2. Think before you act; don’t be rash, words can make men and break them; words can start wars or end them; just in the present tense.

3. whereas its sister; is changeless, definitive, it loves; your pains, your joys; it plays dangerous games; pushes you off your course- it hinders, it lames; it helps, it aids; enough to change your path- but doesn’t quite, thinking of the roadblocks; of life

4. you, your not my, mine three on three,{!}all different; tell me, wherefore art thou; speak{!}

5. You, yours; defining identity, uttered, catches your attention; sometimes shared, still unique, but not quite so.

I have heard it was in the Bible, but can not find it. Something about, "Tell them about God, but if they reject it, do not waste your time on them", something along those lines.

Favorites- Chargers, Jags, Bucs, Seahawks

I think the Titans r gonna be the chargers. They have albert haynworth back who will stop the run, forcing rivers to beat them, which he cannot do. THe Titans r a tough, physical team that can win a big road playoff game. Plus they have a huge coaching edge with Jeff Fishcer against Turner. Take the 9 point spread in Vegas, not only will they cover but win.

There are two dogs, a 2-year old male, and a 5 year old female. Both are outgoing, friendly dogs to their people, and even toward strangers when in the dog yard. They press against their kennels for strangers to pet them, bark for attention, etc. They are even outgoing when out working, tied to the truck.

However, when they are taken into crowded situations (i.e. a dog show), they become nervous, spook at noises, and crouch when strangers touch them.

The two dogs are half brother and sister, sharing the same dam (mother). Their dam is outgoing, bossy and attention-seeking, but has a littermate who was retired from the show ring due to shyness.

What's up with these two half-siblings? Is it lack of socialization, or genetics?

I'm wondering why so many women believe that if they don't get engaged by a certain time, their partner does not truly love them. Why is it that, if your partner says that he's not ready for marriage, you believe that he doesn't love you or is holding out for something better.

I have always thought of marriage as something to be done when both partners are wholly and entirely ready. Considering the current divorce rates, I find it admirable when a man can be honest about being scared, rather than rush into engagement to satisfy the woman's desire for commitment.

Am I the only one who thinks this way?

When my husband and I were splitting up earlier this year, I began seeing someone else. I broke it off with the guy I was seeing and confessed to my husband. I changed my phone number recently because the ex affair was texting me. The man is writing us emails and bothering us now. His last email stated "Hope you guys had a good holiday because 2008 is gonna be one hell of a year for lots and lots of people". I am starting to get worried. I am not sure if he is trying to hurt me and destroy my family since I am trying to work on my marriage. I was considering a protection order. Do you think I have grounds to get one right now? ...since all we have been getting is a few disturbing emails? We did go to the same college together... he showed up last quarter to talk and I did not know about it. Until he told me he was waiting for me outside... and I just had left for school. I hope this all makes sense. My hubby and I are getting frustrated with the ex affair. Advice please! Thanks!

I just replaced my Head gaskets and I am reassembling the engine. The shop that reconditioned
the heads said the rocker arms are not adjustable and I just need to install the heads. A buddy of mine insists that they need to be adjusted after the install to tighten any that may be tapping.
I am familiar with adjusting them while the engine is running, but my buddy insists there is a way to adjust
them while it is not running! He is strictly a Chevy guy and said he bought a Chevy shop manual that had all the specifications. Anyone familiar with this process?
The engine has hydraulic lifters(I think) and I am using the original push rods in the exact locations.

I've already seen at least 4 questions this morning posed by supposed atheists who are trying to use scripture to "prove" their point. It's a small percentage to be sure but come one people! If your claiming something written in the Bible is proof then your calling it fact. I'm so confused.

I am 2 days shy of 37 weeks......and the "more beautiful when you are pregnant" saying makes me giggle...

-Puffy Face
-Swollen Hands - can't wear my wedding rings :(
-Swollen Feet
-Swollen Ankles
-Big Baby Belly In The Way

Don't get me wrong I have been extremely Blessed with being super healthy throughout this pregnancy (So I am not allowed to fuss too much! haha)But Yeah,,,when you are 20 weeks and start to get the cute baby bump and you can start wearing fun form fitting maternity clothes it is beautiful, cute and fun.... But then you get to the last trimester and you just feel like a cow! The only thing I see beautiful about being pregnant is the precious baby you receive at the end! LOL-I just had to vent! I feel really good physically right now so I am thinking labor is not around the corner any time soon,I just get fussy and uncomfortable at night. Anyone else feeling the same way right now? Happy New Years Everyone!And pretty soon we'll get to meet our littleone!
