I really abhor teachers who shame children. It is a sure way to make sure that they never like school. I remember in kindergarten, I was super shy and did not want any attention drawn to me. One day we were about to go to recess and the teacher came storming up to me and grabbed me by my face like I was some rag doll…

Ooh, enjoy! That’s a good find. And it will last forever. I hope you enjoy it.

Yeah, I don’t get it. She clearly likes him so what is with all of the funkiness? I think that his awkwardness is charming.

Cool! You should do it! I’m in the same boat right now. No space and so it isn’t even fun. I can’t wait to put these patterns to use. I remember the first costume my mom made for me. I loved Tina Turner in the fourth grade and while all of the other kids were ninja turtles and princesses, I was Tina turner in a short…

You’re absolutely right. I don’t even consider bidding unless I can see the chord and foot pedal in the pictures. I know looks can be deceiving but I like them to look clean and decent and I keep the price low. I don’t fight over them.

Are you new to sewing or do you want to upgrade? If new, you don’t need anything major. Brother and singer have good models that are not too expensive in JoAnn’s. If you’re willing to shell out three hundred and change you can get a nice janome magnolia. They are great to grow with. I’d love a husqvarna viking emerald…

Same. The designs were adorable and the diapers were fine. They were stiff but they did their job. Don’t use them anymore (just switched to BJ’s store brand) but it was nice to try them.

Pretty much! I would think that after working on that movie together for a couple of months that they had bonded somewhat so I am really disappointed that none of them have said anything but I get it. White feminists....

I love this!! They really are incredible. I watched this a million times yesterday and though the harmonies are great, when he tells the goat to “eat what you got” and then “don’t cha choke” it just made me laugh. Took me back to being a little girl. My Mom would always say that to me when I was eating too fast or…

I wish that I could agree but I see way too many comments on this site that are just mean for the sake of being mean. “He’s so dumb” and “He’s too dumb to make a story like this up”. “He’s so pretty but he’s so dumb”. “Just shut up Lochte and be pretty”.

I know this doesn’t have anything to do with the story but am I the only one who feels like the constant ragging on his intelligence is incredibly rude? I don’t know, maybe it is just the way that I was brought up but you don’t pick on people because you think they are dumb. I don’t care if he is as dumb as a box of…

My sister is into those. She doesn’t have much of a garden though since she lives in a townhouse. So she just has them all over her front porch. Scares the heck out of me. They have gotten worn by the rain and sun so they have white eyes and I feel like I’m gonna be attacked while I wait for her to answer the door.

But you have to wear the thing every day of your life. I’d much prefer going together and picking out my own ring than having to wear some ugly ring forever.

I think you might be thinking of Monica. I don’t know that Ciara ever did a song with Brandy. She is gorgeous, isn’t she?

Really? I love her makeup. The lipstick is such a change from her usual “natural” look. I like her dress but I wish that it had just been shin length dress all the way around. I can’t stand when dresses are long in front and short in the back.

Some people can have sex without it being anything other than a fun and gratifying experience. Not that it isn’t important to them (not that it always has to be). Some people though, myself included, aren’t comfortable (physically or emotionally) having sex too quickly or when they are going through stressful times. I…

It really is.

Yep! I think that some people who don’t practice abstinence at times or who have never even considered it feel as though they are being judged by people who have. In no way shape or form am I judging anybody. I’m just assessing of myself and doing what I need to do to be healthy. Emotionally and mentally.

I think that’s what a lot of people don’t understand about abstaining if they’ve never tried it before on purpose. They think that it’s not hard. It was very hard for me. I love my boyfriend, was very attracted to him, and was having no problems with my libido. Like they say, “the will is strong, but the flesh is…

Thank you. I was young when I decided to abstain. In my mid-twenties. And I realized early on that I confused intimacy with sex a lot. And I didn’t want to be that person. So I abstained while i grew myself in different ways. Now I look at it is something I can truly enjoy without needing it from a man in order to…
