  1. Has she said she doesnt love the kids? Not being interested in a kids video game is not saying 'I dont love you'. My gosh. How many times have my kids gone on and on about something I had no idea what they were talking about? I am sure I did the same with my mom. To graduate med school has to require focus. A lot of focus. I can understand her not wanting to be caught up in listening about a video game she doesnt like or understand. Ok so she didnt listen to him. Did she listen another time? Oh another idea. Ask her to consider this kind of listening to practicing her bedside manner as a doctor. If she cant listen to the kids she is not going to be able to listen to patients either. God has given her a free chance to learn to listen and learn empathy both to help in the family and her eventual medical practice.
  2. God's way will win in the end so that is what I think about when people are so confused about things. And yes I prefer to consider them confused rather than wicked or stupid if at all possible. I also try to see how I can change things even if just a little today. I am sure I am rarely successful but the trying is what is important to me.
  3. The papyrus is very confused. both ends are missing so the intact words have no connection to the lines before and after. The 'my wife' could have been actually saying he was married to the gospel not a woman. Its very authenticity is very debatable. One of the comments brings up Mark Hoffman saying he had who knows how many other frauds spread around. Remember this was, if authentic, written about 400 years AD, which means it is just the writers opinion or putting on paper a theory. It was not written by someone who actually knew Jesus.
  4. I want to second the taking your wife aside to tell her that her her behavior is unacceptable. You do know it is possible one of your kids did move the mixing bowls? You can not put your wife in a place of always being wrong or your kids of always being wrong. You do not have to chose sides of who to be loyal to. You need to be loyal to your FAMILY. Your wife has a lot on her plate right now but she has to learn to parent and at the same time your kids need to learn that she IS a parent. Do you have family home evenings together? If not because of her school do you make an attempt to do things as a family? Both fun and serious? I would have a hard time dealing with four children all at once without getting practice one at a time from infancy. Perhaps she could have one on one time with each of your children? I have a small amount of experience dealing with a stepchild. Very small. In the beginning I noticed he tried to put himself between his father and I whenever he could. Physically. We got along on a personal basis but he did not want me between them. I had to make it clear he was not between us but I was not between him and his father either. Perhaps there is some fear of that in your situation? This is one reason you cannot chose to side or 'defend' one over the other. You are all in this together.
  5. Thought you guys might be interested in this mans idea on God and Physics. Creation Physics: GOD'S PARTICLES PROVE CREATION Oh that is an old site he had. Heres a new one. Fundamental Creation Physics
  6. That is a great idea. There are some really great jogging strollers out there.
  7. It might be interesting what happens when you tell him that weight loss is not your priority at the moment and that he will have to deal with it. Maybe, who knows, he might just start acting more mature if he realizes his childish demands are not going to be met instant obedience. You ever play poker? Well call him on his raise.
  8. It is part of the job description of mom to be paranoid. :) If you checked them out, all the kids look happy and well cared for then it should be good :)
  9. My soninlaw told me he was just not bringing it up. If they ask then ok. Otherwise, at this point anyway, he is just not bringing it up. I think they may know though. lol. Since he has posted things on facebook. I can see why you dont want to alienate your mom. Family is very important. If it comes down to it, remember its important from both sides, not just yours.
  10. I am going to be cheering them both on. Its great they are playing each other but hard on the loyalties.
  11. If you are not finding solutions and understanding in your counseling then get a new counselor. They are not one size fits all. Abuse is not easy for most people to overcome. You were abused for many years at a critical lpoint in your development and learning. Trying to x out the old and relearn things your family should have taught you is not going to be a short journey. Learn about the true love of Christ and it will help you very much. Once you take that truth into your heart it is going to be easier to learn to trust again. Christ and counseling can change your life.
  12. I post politics on facebook and find the responses to be very interesting. Dahlia, it is not true that no one is goinkg to change their minds. I have had people pm me and ask more because they dont understand why I feel so strongly on some of the subjects. They tell me thanks for posting so they can learn more about the issues. I do try not to be hateful but there have been a few occasions when I have lost my temper on an issue. I am not perfect. Still being respectful does go a long way.
  13. Well at least I now know why some people are angry if I say we can agree to disagree. Sometimes I walk away and say that because the other person is just bullheaded and does not even consider that there can be another opinion than their own. It might also be that I am just tired of being verbally attacked by an idiot and I dont want to waste more of my time. Sometimes I might even be wanting to be polite to a person I am not going to agree with and they are not going to agree with me but its been an interesting conversation. :) Nevertheless I have NEVER said it because I can not defend my opinion. Ever.
  14. My husband's opinion is to ask her to not build that friendship. He says it would make him feel uncomfortable too. Lol his reason is that he doesnt like the idea we might be comparing him but ..... :)
  15. If it makes you uncomfy tell her. Its kinda hard to see why you would pine for the other gf. She broke you heart and your wife didnt. A rather huge difference right off the bat. Not only did she not break your heart she has the qualities you were looking for all along. Sounds like you got a good deal to me.
  16. Porn finds every opening they can find to get to your computer whether you want them or not. Satan is pretty tricky and on top of the actual porn, he gets us, wives, to doubting our husbands. I bet he will be as horrified as you were.
  17. This is supposedly about Pastor Terry Jones new movie. He is the florida preacher who wanted to burn the Korans. My feeling is it is more about 9/11 and the terrorists used the movie as an excuse to attack while blaming us for 'our' disrespect. I fail to see how anything our government did was responsible except that we have free speech.
  18. I am thinking she misconstrued it as well but I dont know. We never had a bishop ask us why we hadnt paid any tithing in a few months. I just cant see it happening. Have any of you had this experience?
  19. aaah Two more good classics. Men in Black and Jericho. Jericho had potential. It seems that networds cut those kind of shows off before they get a real chance to develop. Life on Mars tv show was very confusing but interesting and cut off. I liked the last V as well but my husband hated it. I admit I am a fan of most anything with Lost actors in them. Oh and that brings up Person of Interest. It is not that far fetched but certainly points out a scary problem.
  20. I have a friend on facebook who used to be a member of the church growing up but is no longer. She is a good person even though she is not fond of the church. Tonight she said something that concerned me. The topic got around to tithing and lying. She said something about how if you catch it up and apologize and promise not to do mess up again you are ok. I have never heard of anything like that so told her that it was between you and God. She came back and said that she had started a new job and hadnt paid her tithing and the bishop called her in to question her about it. Well I never heard of that happening either so told her maybe he was just concerned that she might need help. She said no. That they kept an eye on her and she had had several bishops do this kind of thing with the tithing. Ok so. She is not a liar. I believe that something like this did happen but I do not understand why. No bishop has EVER asked us about our tithing except at tithing settlement. She is not a usual kind of person but she is a good person. So why would this have happened to her from a church point of view?
  21. The tech is clearly amazing. No doubt about that. Ok for 4k I can make a gun. Can I use the same 4k to make an Uzi? Or a mortor? Or ok lets go all the way. Can I use it to make a bomb? Where is the limit? Size? Materials? Can I use it to make a Paris fashion dress for just the price of the material? Are there limits?
  22. It would be the fact that you could get the gun with no regulation at all. They would be virtually untraceable if used in the commission of a crime. Anyone could get one including clearly mentally compromised individuals and yes I know they can now if they try but it just would make it easier.
  23. Interesting point. I never thought about it before but if the Salt Lake Temple was ever open for the public to view I dont think I would want to go. It has too much personal meaning for me and it would be like viewing the joists instead of the spirit.
