<t>Koan, she'll be ok...and I agree with Spot that you provide a great environment for her to learn and explore in.

<r>David, thank you. <E>:)</E> And I totally get what you're saying too. My own views are mainly pacifist, as in avoid violence when other methods could be used, but I am a realist as well. I know there are times that I am not willing to pay the price to be peaceful. Like you, I have a t...

<t>Wolverine, your quote is hilarious. I had no idea marsupials were so scary! LOL I don't like "Just do it." Nice for selling shoes, but otherwise a rather useless piece of advice. Or "I can speak to that." Great. Not only are you the most annoying coworker I've ev...

I'm still feeling sick over the Simon and Garfunkel lyrics.

That's great news! Because you'll need all week to get the last word in on me, buster.

I'm a good sport - I prefer a fair fight.

Yup! I have guts. I have breathing-type stuff like lungs, too. But mostly I've got a brain and a thesaurus and I know how to use 'em! (LOL)

The time difference is a silly excuse, twosteaks. You either want the last word or you don't. And I do.

Bring it on, Koan.

<t>Oregon is a great place to raise kids. Lots of space, a slower pace, and the teens here seem about 10 years behind the teens in Chicago. Summers can get up to the 90s but there is rarely any humidity. However, the winters are all rain - that's what makes it so incredibly green here. It's a semi-t...

Waffles, yum!!! I like mine with butter, maple syrup, and then each bite dipped in creamy peanut butter. Add salty meat on the side, like sausage or bacon. (happy sigh)

BTS, please don't feed the beast. Not worth your time or your respect. Plenty of other things to think about besides the opinion of one very closed-minded hypocritical guy. Right?

We don't have a bird feeder. But we do have large fields nearby. Last weekend we sat on the balcony drinking morning coffee, and I saw an eagle. Wow!! I also saw hawks. Amazing

<t>Good question, and I've never found a better answer than Mark Twain's two cents worth: It was a time of great and exalting excitement. The country was up in arms, the war was on, in every breast burned the holy fire of patriotism; the drums were beating, the bands playing, the toy pist...

I assume there is a reason for this thread. I'm kidding, Lon!

I have a hard time with the line between positive thinking (everything will be ok) and assuming the worst about people who have, quite frankly, behaved badly towards me.
