Happy Feet = Propaganda
Well, since I don't believe that Dancing Penguins=homosexuality, or dancing men, for that matter, I wasn't going to touch on this, but I think Steve laid it out pretty well. I think it is no coincidence that everything correlates so well with the popular message in the media about the topic right no...

Children's Books
Children's books? I could go on and on and ON! here is the beginning of a list off of the top of my head. Some of my favorites have already been mentioned. Some of these are more recently written than others, and therefore probably less familiar to some people, but highly recommended. A couple of th...

Happy Feet = Propaganda
I could almost see a rainbow colored flag waving across the top of the screen through most of the movie. I personally enjoyed parts of it, probably would have enjoyed it more had it not been so didactic. I can handle subversive messages better when they are subtle and clever :) I think my kids came ...

ELECTRONIC MAFIA! - Game no. 1
um, technically Alex, I think that Emma wins. 'Cause if you get down to two people the mafia has won. That's my understanding, anyway. Anybody have any input? 'Cause Alex's moderating is almost as confusing as Edward's

What should I make for dinner?
You could make what I'm making:
Waffles. With homemade blueberry syrup. Or Mrs. Butterworth's. Either one works. They're easy and everybody loves them.

The moment you been waiting for!
okay, I'll eat some humble pie-or torte. But if that's the case, can we start calling it "Bayerischer apfel torte"?

The moment you been waiting for!
I'm sorry, but being the unpenitent food snob that I am, and having settled this question years ago with Patrick, I just have to correct this one. If we want to get technical (I do), Gretchen's recipe is neither a tort or a torte. It is a tart. A torte is usually a dense, rich cake; usually with lit...

How Much Should You Give Away?
I wholeheartedly agree and I regret having gotten too inflammatory. I really did start out just trying to answer the question practically since I thought our perspective was relevant. But as I said before, it is a touchy subject for me, having had abundance just dropped into my lap since Patrick's g...

El Cid
Hmm...too iffy. Actually, I really do need help, since I really don't know how or why I got this particular assignment and I'm not feeling particularly creative. I have to write the character education curriculum for Rennaisance Academy (the charter school that my kids are going to). Any and all sug...

Okay, I probably went too far with those last two posts, sorry.

By the way, I think the fact that you said "they're just missing out" is very telling about your attitude towards wealthy people. Oops. I said I was done.

And I didn't say that you had to be sad to have a wish list. And I have nothing against poor people having been one myself. But I simply won't believe you if you tell me that there isn't something that you would like to have that you can't afford, even if you wouldn't really buy it had you the money...

How Much Should You Give Away?
we do have a stage and a projector in our basement. I do want an SUV, but I'm not going to buy one. I would love to go to Nepal, and places all over the globe, and someday I just might. I don't spend lots of money on my hair and nails every month, and I've never shopped at bloomingdale's, but we do ...

BTW, Ian, I had to look up that emoticon because I didn't even know what it meant. I don't even understand why you are disappointed with me. Tearfully waiting your reply

Oh my goodness gracious
I just spent a WHOLE LOTTA TIME trying to catch up and read EVERYTHING (having the Huntington obsessive gene) while I was supposed to be doing so many other so very important grownup type things, but this is the first time I've seen the site and y'all are just so interesting. So now that I've caught...
