Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

I would prefer I not be judged by other believers as to how sanctified/set apart I am from non-believers and given a label of being liberal' or 'conservative'. If I am called 'liberal' due to the perspective of another believer that I am not set apart from the world as they think I should be, to me...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

"Progressive" is the opposite of "conservative." Conservativism is a strong defence against change based on a belief that what we have currently is the best option, or at least good enough, and certainly better than the potential of any efforts to change. Progressivism is the be...

Re: California Slingshot Shooter Arrested

My friend in school made a three-man slingshot. We could launch a water ballon a good way off, and accurate at that! Wife: My children did that to test a bow a couple days ago. My son had made that was about as tall as my husband, and we now have to figure out how to find the arrow that is in the n...

… she thought the lizard was an alligator when she first saw it. Wife: we went to visit soloists grandma in the keys once with the children, and they were pretty excited when the neighbor came and asked the uncle to borrow his gun to kill this giant iguana.

Re: HPV and Cancer link

Wife: congratulations on the new addition! Look into this one, it still sells at Walmart for 50 bucks, follows the requirements, and I’ve had my older girl sit in our camo one as a booster once or twice when we have the backseat of the van folded down and I don’t want to remove my toddlers seat. Act...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

Are car seats in buggies even a thing? They want to distribute them so Amish people have their own car seats when they have someone else drive them. And yes, there are some do-gooders who think car seats in buggies are a good idea, despite the lack of any research on the topic. Car seats are associ...
