sjchristian Both of my boys were Christened in church. I did it not only for religious purposes but as family tradition. We attend church services once in a blue moon. We talk about god and religion but not every day. My older son does not want to go to church with us...

sjchristian I know what you mean, the only place in my home that is completely clutter free would be my kitchen, and next would be my family room. I love cooking I enjoy everything from the smells of the food to the movements needed.

sjchristian That sounds like my uncle who lives with me who is also a pack rat. I swear there is a semi clear path from the entrance of his room to the corner of the bed where he can crawl on and off. If I am bagging things of my own or of my sons to trash, he will say he...

sjchristian In my family it is nothing for an uncle to peck their neices and nefew on the mouth when the children are young. Sanitary not at all but they do, it's a sign of pure love and a way to convey that you are their child also. The first time my uncle pecked my son...
