I'm an agnostic bordering on atheist, and I'm friends with quite a few catholic priests and monks(there is a Benedictine Abbey and High School in my town). One of my closest friends is an evangelical Christian who takes the bible (mostly) literally, and denies evolution as a valid scientific theory. I hate my MIL and…

I agree 100%. A lot of local troops and packs are just fine, but the BSA national policy sucks.

My husband and I both changed our last names to Mylastname-Hislastname. The majority of his family refuses to address things to us correctly. 90%of the wedding/bridal shower/baby shower invites we've gotten have been addressed to Hislastname only for both of us. I kinda see it with him, but it's pretty common for a…

I hate that the only booklights you can get anymore are LED. I get that they're environmentally friendly and last a really long time, but I get a headache when I try to use one to read. The light is too blue or something.

I'm that was true of some of my college classmates, but I doubt very highly that it was the case with all of them. And there's a huge difference between being leery/standoffish and being rude/offensive/racist. It was a very small percentage of the African American classmates that I had contact with that didn't think…

I even do this with my 8 month old. She's pulling up on everything right now, but isn't too great at it yet. She routinely loses her balance and conks her head on whatever she was trying to pull up on. My husband and I just say oopsie or kaboom in a calm higher-pitched voice and 9 times out of 10 she just grins at us…

Now that my son is old enough to not need supervision at the park, but still too young to cross the busy streets to get to the only ones within walking distance of our house(He is allowed to cross streets, just not the busy ones 3 blocks north, 2 blocks south, 2 blocks west, and 2 blocks east of our street. He wanders…

I wasn't a virgin when I got married, but I was a virgin when I first had sex with my then boyfriend after only dating a few weeks, but we ended up engaged and got married, and he was a virgin when we first had sex also. FWIW we're still happily married 9 years and 2 kids later.

My 8 year-old son loves cars, fart jokes, Cub Scouts...and babies and Dance Class(going on his 5th year now). I know very few male dancers who aren't gay. Straight male dancers seem to be the exception not the rule so who knows.

I grew up in a rural area and went to college at a college where a large portion of the student population came from the city and even the inner city. I only knew a handful of African American people, a few Chinese and Vietnamese people, a few Indian people(mostly doctors kids), and slightly more Hispanic people. What…

I also wonder if it would be effective for those of us who are married and have only had one partner(my spouse), whose spouse has only had on partner(me). If we were to get divorced or he were to die, I would most likely have sex with other men, and thus may be exposed to HPV for the first time well past the age of…

My son is more of a space cadet and a non-stop talker. I don't have to remind him to eat though. I swear the kid has a hollow leg. My son tells us that he wants to be more organized and pay attention better in school, but he just can't. The organization I think is all ADHD, our whole house is fairly disorganized…

"a kid that really has it is almost impossible to deal with"

Does anyone else remember/miss when the Trefoils had the big pieces of sugar on the top. They did when I was a kid selling the cookies, but then I bought a box as an adult and hated them without the sugar on top :(
