I have the same problem, and have always been an 11pm person, usually taking about a half hour to fall asleep. Wife is asleep around 9:30pm after maybe 5 minutes in bed. When I tried going to bed earlier, I would lie awake until nearly midnight every single night.

Yeah, I have never been to the class or bought any of his books. I also saw a shadow of a pyramid being built, so I avoided Financial Peace University.That being said, I listen to his radio show fairly often. His advice is remarkably forthright and honest, and I have never heard him give what I would consider to be…

His advice is as much about creating good financial habits as it is about a good financial plan. You don't let a recovering alcoholic have a little beer now and then for fear of relapsing. His advice on credit cards is the same way - not that they are bad, but that many people are too tempted to use them to …

The 401K advice is when you are in debt to the point you aren't in a position to afford the basics (food, rent/mortgage, utilities) and are living off credit cards. Even with an employer match, retirement is a luxury when you are getting in debt to eat and have a home. His advice is to forgo the future until you…

A good reminder about ways to lose an argument indeed. However, it sometimes is difficult to understand what qualifies as a fallacy and what merely looks like one.

To be fair, he wanted a sign to be posted outside your bedroom saying "If you have sex you might get pregnant."

Well, here is what may be part of the problem (from the Duke University study):

my impression is that only a portion of mitochondrial diseases are familial, while apparently a lot of cases arise from new mutations.

I agree, but it won't be available for everyone. I am just troubled at the idea that wealthy, white countries may "breed" out some genetic conditions that will still plague poor, African ones.

OK, so explain this one to me. The child will have its parents' DNA, but the donor's mitochondrial DNA. If that child is female and grows up to have their own child, would the hypothetical 3rd generation kid have the donor's mitochondrial DNA?

No, I wasn't aware they made one until now. Will have to stock up on Amazon. Thanks!

We own and use the Crane and Lasko. We live in an area with very cold winters, so if we didn't humidify, our indoor humidity would be about 15%. But our water is also very hard, so that Crane film will cover everything in our house if used too often, which is why we bought the Lasko, which puts out no film/mist.

For one, many people who don't believe in Catholic doctrine are subject to abstinence-only sex ed.

I agree with this. I think it really depends on what type of job you have, but mine is as an analyst where programming, focus, and producing reports are what I consider "being productive." In my world phone calls, emails, and meetings are the death of my efficiency. So the fewer other people working around me, the…

Awesome idea. I might swap the bag out and have a box on the closet floor, so whenever it gets full it goes straight to goodwill, rather than needing to re-fold.

Thanks for the reply, but we probably aren't talking about the same people regarding "they." The original comment by Angeligue was directed towards "they" who are making the threats. I may have misinterpreted this to be directed towards pro-lifers in general. When ten-seconds added the comment about these "same…

Why? The Catholic church teaches that sex is inherently for procreation and bonding with your spouse, not purely for individual pleasure. Their promotion of abstinence and limited birth control are consistent with their teachings and beliefs.

The crisis pregnancy center I know of does exactly that. Women who are seeking an abortion because they feel they don't have the finances to do so are given a lot of services if they elect to continue the pregnancy. They provide access to prenatal care, wellness-baby checkups, diapers, formula, bottles, and a…

Well, not exactly. If it was just about women and their sexuality, masturbation, pornography and homosexual sex would be totally fine for men to enjoy.
