yes...yes, they're related... one's a boy and one's a girl, i think

Welcome to the site! Sorry about the gig..hopefully a new one will come along soon :)

What gives the judge the right?! The government should absolutely not be able to step in and change a child's name! If she didn't want people to call her by her full name she could go by a nickname and when she's of age and wants to change it herself then she can do that if she likes. Her parents may have had a very special reason to name her Talula Does The Hula, we don't know. hey...you think that's what the T stands for in Dr. T?

Wecome Skater! Hope you enjoy it like we enjoy it! :)

We REALLY need an LOL or ROFL button!! Bytor, you have brightened my day yet again!

Reading is an excellent idea! I have an artist in the family so I always make sure he's got the supplies he needs. And the girls always loved to play dress up. Also, they both love to make scrapbook pages, so we've got that junk around, too. :)

I find that during personal prayer I talk to my HF like I would talk to my dad (except with WAY less sarcasm!!). I just let him know what I'm thinking about, struggling with and how I hope things will go. It really helps me to go into my prayers like that. I first make sure I express the gratitude I have in my heart for everything I have in my life. It's amazing how starting with that makes me feel closer to my HF...like I realize that all the good in my life is a direct gift from him and that makes me feel closer and then I "talk" to him. Faith that He is there and listening brings vasts amounts of comfort and feelings of love when I need them most. Prayer is a wonderful gift that we should never be afraid to use. Miss has it right... Put yourself out there and trust that He will take care of the rest :)

Welcome to the site! We all hope that we can help support you in what's going on in your life. bytor could be right..it sounds like depression. And one thing to keep in mind with his threat of suicide... That would never be "your fault". That's a choice he would be making all on his own for his own selfish reasons to make you suffer. It sounds like he's manipulating the whole situation pretty well for his own benefit. Remember to stay close to the Lord during a time like this..He will guide you and bring you comfort...even if it's in the form of us :) We're all here for you.

PC and Ex have it right...you did good, kid! :) good luck

and i know you're a dude and everything!

you know...i know your name says afmormon, but with my dyslexia i keep reading it afromom and i just CRACK UP every time!! cuz in my head, the picture is just hillarious!

Thanks, Elphie! I would like to read this book as well.. Church History is one subject that I'd really like to start delving in to and have just not yet. Oh sure, I've read The Work and The Glory....but that's not really history. lol! :) Do you have any other books that someone just starting out studying actual church hisory should read? Can you PM me a list? or post it here so others interested will have the list, too...

You're so right, ms! And I never thought of it that way..thank you so much for sharing! :)

psychologists are talk therapy only...he needs drugs! who knows a good psychiatrist? haha!! i'm going to see the movie later today!!

jacek has never said those words to me. littlemisschatterbox does, though! oh! and so does elphie! anyway...welcome, lsg! hope you enjoy the site! who's your sister? my sister is on here too...her name is mightynancy. she's cool.

Only my baby went to preschool and she loved it! It really is up to you and it seems like it's a good thing for your family. Keep up the good work!!

Hi VoL!! You've gotten some really good advise from everyone in these posts...the other thing I would like to add (sorry if someone already said this) but you can go to you nearest vitamin shop and get a blend of herbs that help with mood and stress. I have one issue with your OP that I will PM you about since I don't want to derail... Good Luck! xoxo, siouxz

My favorite is Las Vegas where I was sealed for time and all eternity to my very best friend. :)

Welcome!! I dont' homeschool but I hope we can still be friends :)

Welcome to the site, flutter. Hope you like it here as much as we do

TNT... glad you found out the temple worker was wrong and that you're still able to use your recommend. :) the calling will come so far as that chocolate pudding cake goes... me and silvergirl ate it all up and it was deeelish!! ( sorry kish)

Keith, Pam and Pale couldn't say it any better...welcome and thank you for all you do! Enjoy the threads and blogs! :)

i'm with asuccesscoach on this one... they are, after all, a success coach. :)

Hi Sweetie Pie!! Guess what littlemisschatterbox is doing this summer?! Being a nanny for her three little cousins (ages 11, 9 and 4)! She's getting paid $120/wk + is being spoiled rotten by her favorite aunt and uncle...lucky girl! So, you should ask her what she thinks...and here's what I think. it's 7 hours a day 3 days a week and the kids seem fairly easy to take care of. They're not causing you any grief are they? If you're happy with what you're doing, then just leave it be. If you think that they're enough of a problem that you need $15 more dollars a week, then go ahead and ask. And you can ask just like the others said to..you know something like you thought over the phone the agreed upon price was $135. whatever you do...don't let your mom call and yell at the lady. That happened to me once and I was so embarrassed that I had paid the girl incorrectly that I never called her again and probably lost what would have been a great babysitter for my kids. anyway, good luck and have fun! :)

nice work :)
