My 10 year old boy came into the house screaming with a high pitched screech which really annoyed me and I said, “You will not scream like a little girl.” Yes it was pejorative and I will admit to that. My wife turned me onto an Always commercial that millions and millions have watched that talks about girls being labeled as “Running like a girl,” “throwing like a girl” and “fighting like a girl” and at a young age when girls hit puberty how negatively they respond to that label. Please talk about your thoughts about this concept and your response to being labeled “like a girl.” I for one like girls. They are soft, beautiful, delicate and the way God made you. I wonder if there is anything that boys do that is commensurate with the negative label I gave my son "screaming like a girl?" Do any of you ladies remember being labeled like that and made you feel bad about being a girl? I think girls, like my daughter, is strong, confident AND beautiful. She is graceful and smooth. She is tough a leader and can be tender. I see nothing wrong with her being a girl. I want my boys to grow to be strong men of God, leaders, able to run their households as men. I want my daughters to be women. I’d love you hear your thoughts on my assertions please in the you tube forum about like a girl. Thank you

I wonder...I wonder about creative people! I am pretty structured, I like order, things have a place where they go and I like predicability and security. This is not to say that I'm boring or dull but cause I love to have fun and I'm good at having fun. I really love surprises too so I'm not saying that I do not like things out of the box, randomness is SUPER fun too. I am wondering about creative people in general and these are the things i wonder right now: What makes them creative? Is it a "creative gene?" I wonder about artistic people, what makes then artistic? Is it their messiness? Is it an inborn artistic expressions that they tap into? Is it their nonconformity, their pushing the envelope, their easy going attitude or something else? I wonder what I call creative I guess? Am I talking art? Is it musical brilliance? Is it thinking outside the box? Is it a personality? I wonder if it's different kind of smarts? Does it take hard work to be creative or does it just flow in what they do? I wonder what neuroscience says about creative people. There is a lot there, maybe too much but I know there is a LOT more wondering to be done on this... I AM EXCITED about this! I looked online about creative people right after I posted able and found these awesome things IMO. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/04/creativity-habits_n_4859769.html

Ok, I used to be in really good shape, cut, muscular, ripped whatever you want to call it. I had very firm abs, super tight 6 pack that when a girl touched my stomach she asked, "What do you have under your shirt?" because she thought I put something underneath because she didn't expect to fill that when touching a stomach, so here is my "I wonder..." I did a lot of sit ups, crunches, leg lifts, running and things of that nature to strengthen them. While I did my sit-ups I would hit my muscles with my fists while concreting. I wonder if that contributed to strong abs of what it just the repeated working out that make them they way they were? I hope this post didn't come across boastful I just wanted to explain for the purpose of understanding what I was talking about. in 8th grade in PE we did a sit up contest, all the way up and all the way down counted as one, part way up and not all the way down did not count so I would not have counted. I did 98 sit ups in one minute and had the record. (Ok that one was boastful sorry)

There are different difficulties with weight, it could be too much or too little weight, be a medical problem like mine, a genetic predisposition, food consumption proportions, poor eating habits, nutrition, exercise or other reasons but I know it is likely a combination to these but I wonder which form of weight control is the best there is? I wonder what or which weight loss program(s) is/are best? I wonder how to increase weight in a healthy way? I wonder how to exercise when my legs barely work sometimes? I wonder what people think of calorie reduction, exercise, good nutrition, medication, surgery? I wonder when concern over weight is too much? I wonder what portion of all this is self-view/self esteem? Health driven? Society with the models and advertising that is put out all over the place so typical woman compare themselves to “touched up” models? Obviously this is a much larger issue that I is in this OP but it is something I’m wondering about. Anybody can open a new thread to discuss anything I post so please feel free to take the ball and run on any of these to see where the conversation goes. Thank you
