TheNightingale While media and culture are undeniably a problem, ultimately it does come down to the parents - who should control what their kids are absorbing as much as possible (granted, this is difficult). Furthermore, parents just do not require ANYTHING of their...

If you have taken a course online did you feel it was as good as, better or worse than taking the course in a traditional classroom? Why?

TheNightingale I took many classes online and loved it - I was working 50 - 80 hours a week at an ad agency while taking classes full-time as well. For me, it was better for several reasons, the most obvious being scheduling. If I had to be at work until 10PM or so, I...

When my daughter started college I began purchasing her books on eBay's half.com. Between buying them and then reselling them on half.com at the end of the semester I figure that her textbook cost (which I pay for) is 1/4 to 1/3...

TheNightingale When in college, I often bought used textbooks on Amazon.com, and then (usually) sold them after the class was over. It worked very well for me, and saved me a FORTUNE! One of the marketing books required was a $175 book at the college bookstore - I found it...

TheNightingale Personally, I think it is a real illness. But since it is so difficult to diagnose and the symptoms can be vague, a lot of doctors discount it. That said, more and more doctors are wondering if this isn't just untreated thyroid disease - usually...

When you take pictures, do you tend to stick to family and friends? Or do you like to go out and take pictures of people bustling through town? Or maybe it's the scenery that draws your eyes the most? For me it is a bit of both,...

TheNightingale You are right, villageanne. Our household was the same way. We were taught to respect life AND the potential power of the firearm from a very young age, the same way you were. When we were old enough, Dad would let us handle an unloaded gun so we would both...

TheNightingale I agree with you 100%! We just don't teach virtue to kids and it's a shame; it makes them self-centered and unconcerned with how their words and actions affect others. And as Willowlady noted, we don't discipline or lay out rules for our children, either....

TheNightingale I really enjoy encouraging people, especially out of the blue. It can really cheer someone up. When I was shopping at Target once, I saw this older woman, and she just looked so fabulous! Her (gorgeous) silver-white hair was neatly pulled into a low...

TheNightingale I don't just give them money. I'll buy them a sandwich from Panera or a burger and a soda and water, but don't just throw money at them. We try to be very thoughtful and good with our funds, and also feel there is a morality to the way one spends their...

TheNightingale I agree with you 100%. The government has no business telling parents how they should raise their children. There's a very clear line between physical discipline and abuse - and really, most parents who will swat their child on the bum as discipline for...

TheNightingale Actually, the congresswoman who proposed it decided to do so because her vet told her never to hit her cat; therefore, went her logic, why should anyone be able to hit their child? Personally, a spanking never hurt anyone. Having received quite a few as a...

TheNightingale I like Ruth, too! Esther is another favourite. Still, I think my favourite is the Psalms. They're so full of emotion and wisdom about God. And since David was a man after God's own heart...it can't be bad to read the conversations he had with God. :)

TheNightingale You know, God knows what we think and feel anyhow, so it's best to be completely up front and honest with Him! (I do think He prefers our honest "chatting" with Him to "scripted" prayers.) Not only does He know how we feel, He understands. He won't respond...
