A woman in Grantville, PA, found Max hanging from the floor board underneath a nearby mobile home with his front paw caught in a foot-hold trap. A vet thought Max had been caught in the trap for a good portion of the three weeks he was missing. He had lost about 10 pounds. His injured paw had to be amputated. The woman received $300 from Born Free USA's Trapping Victims Fund.

A Delightful Daycare in Portland
My Great Outdoors
Reader: Michelle (owner of preschool for ages 2-5)
Location: Portland, OR
I am a family child care provider. Over 5 years, I have turned my front yard into an outdoor play space for the ten preschoolers who spend their days with me.
We have a large sand area (10 yards of sand!) with a log tunnel entrance and a hand pump for the children to use. A play structure, mudpie kitchen, large playhouse, and various planting areas (you can see the start of this year's sunflower house and bean teepee in one photo) complete the yard. This year I replaced the grass with artificial turf, which has been a wonderful change when it comes to being able to use the yard even in Oregon's rainy weather.
Thanks Michelle! What lucky children to have such a varied, create outdoor space to play in! Readers, you can find out more about this inspiring place at Busy Bee Daycare & Preschool.

Oh my GOSH! This is so awesome -- I want to move to Portland just so my children can attend your preschool! Save us two spots! ha ha
My son is one of the lucky kiddos that gets to spend 5 days a week at Michelle's. It is so wonderful to know he has such a fun and creative environment to play and learn in. Never a dull moment here! I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to join.
What's the name of the Day Care?
My best friend is sending her little girl there! Apparently there is a cool play structure that these photos don't show.
It was hard to pick just five photos!
I am not positive this is okay, but if you want to see more pictures, my website is www.busybeedaycare.homestead.com
My apologies if sharing links isn't allowed.
Thanks for including the link! What an amazing, joyful place. I love it!
This is some kind of fabulous!
I applaud you!!! What an amazing place you have created.
I wish all children could be so lucky as to spend their days at your obviously very caring daycare. May this post influence other carers to do likewise!
I absolutely love my daycare provider/sitter, but this is AMAZING! I'm so inspired!

WAUWATOUSA, Wisc (WSAU-Wheeler News) Funeral services will be held today in Wauwatosa for a Wisconsin legal pioneer. 99-year-old Mary Riedl died last Thursday at a hospice care facility.
The State Bar Association honored her in 1998 as one of Wisconsin's first 150 female pioneers in law. That's after she was one of only two women to graduate in the Marquette Law School's Class of 1936.
Riedl was born as Mary Wendt. The Journal Sentinel said her father was Milwaukee's city comptroller in the 1930's-and-40's. She joined the Navy during World War Two as a wave, as left as a lieutenant commander four years later. In the 1960's, Riedl served as a contract administrator for NASA and the Defense Department. She was later an adjudicator of benefits for the Veterans' Administration, before retiring from the federal government in 1980.

We Deserve Better
February 4, 2013
To The Reader's Forum: Over the last few days the media, in print, radio, television and internet was all hyped up about a few thousand people protesting gun rights....
formerlyphil, I find it interesting that you failed to mention loner's very next sentence: "The woman didn't conceive on her own therefore should not have the right to kill the unborn on her own." Hmmm, interesting. Neglected that part did ya? Sounds to me like he implied the mother was at the mercy of the father to let her decide what to do with her own body. Howcome the anti-abortion folks are okay with twisting facts and playing with people's words in order to defend each other? Weird.

Assuming the father is around, let alone willing to participate in the decision to abort a pregnancy or not isn't the best assumption to make, methinks.
If the relationship between the pregnant girl and the father of the baby is good enough, he'll be involved no matter what. He can always say his piece and I'm sure many do but the ultimate decision has to be borne by the woman who has to carry the child to term, or not. It's her body, not his. Women are compelled to have the responsibilities of pregnancy, they absolutely should have the choice.

girlyman you can google colin kapernick if you like. no, i don't meet your criteria because i don't know the kapernicks. sorry about that. but they're pro-life. & they adopted. maybe you've heard of colin kapernick?..
or maybe you've heard of tim tebow. not adopted, so a different example. nonetheless another figure scoffed at by the pro-choicers.

"Abortion should not only be a women's issue. It should also be up to the father to help make that decision."
what's so hard to understand about that? she did not get pregnant all by her lonesome. the father doesn't have any say unless the mother decides to keep the baby upon which time the court almost automatically grants custody to the mother (if they're not together) & the father foots the majority of all bills.
he said "...to help make a decision."
he didn't say "gets to make the choice."
relax spazzos.

lonerrider, your comments are the most backwards hogwash I've seen here. You smack of someone who lives alone, isolated from friends and family, completely distant from the world around you. So, according to your assertion, a male should be able to legally force a female to give birth? Legally force a female to undergo a 9 month pregnancy if he wants it to happen. There are so many cave-men around here, who really serve absolutely no other purpose than to hear themselves rant, pat each other on the back, and perpetuate dogma. Do you guys ever stop and think?

loner, your alter-ego, notmetoday is a 'lady' right? So thats why your opinion counts so much. You represent both sexes. As for your statement about the father's rights...sorry a man can't force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term that she is unwilling to carry. If thats the ignorant would you want to live in, I can suggest a few countries for you to move to. Thats part of life, loner. The embryo/zygote/fetus is in the woman's body, its part of her body, and she makes the choice. Ask 'notmetoday' what she thinks...

and obviously, anti-abortion is anti-poor people too.
(I figured I better point that out specifically since we have so many here who have trouble understanding inferences.)

Roe v Wade put an end to that, at least it was supposed to before the Supreme Court started allowing states to regulate abortion providers into nonexistence. In Mississippi, they are trying to close down the last abortion provider in the state. Do they really think that will end abortion in their state? Of course not! All it will do is drive poor women (the well to do can go to another state because they can afford it) into the underground where they will again have to risk injury, sterility or even death.
Anti-abortion is anti-women. Plain and simple.

If you'll pay attention, FedUpL8ly, I don't support most gun control laws because they do not work. Illegal drug laws don't work, the same way that Prohibition was such a dismal failure. If there is a demand for something, people will act to fulfill it at a profit, if they can possibly arrange it.
Women were getting abortions long before Roe v Wade was decided. The wealthier ones (usually white women, at the time) were able to go to clean, well run "clinics" in other countries to lose their "problem." Poorer women (many of whom were women of color, of course) had to make do with people who operated in cheap hotel rooms and back alleys, risking injury, sterility or even death. That was the reality!

the "campaign" for some action against gun violence has spread far beyond "Obama/dems." Should we review public opinion-- again? Or does the will of the majority of the people not count here?

The topic here is a woman's right to choose, Fedup. Try to keep up.
7 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Well, the difference, fedup, is that the women getting abortions aren't a dancer to people in society, whereas the people going underground to obtain guns are. Quite a big difference. By making certain types of guns illegal it allows the police to arrest them even if they are ever just caught with the gun. Thats a way to help prevent a shooting. Apples and Oranges. But the argument 'your just as bad as us so there' is always nice to see.
7 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Your argument,Emelye,seems to be the perfect argument against Obama/Dems campaign against banning guns and their associated restrictions. It shows that liberal intolerance is just as pervasive as conservative intolerance. It depends only on the issue at hand as to who is intolerant.

Emelye, I agree, you'd think the anti-abortion folks would support contraception and prevention,yet they HATE Planned Parenthood, an organization that has 97% of its funding go towards education, prevention, contraception, cancer screening, counseling, and STD screening. They also argue that gun laws are stupid because 'criminals don't follow laws', yet they think abortion should be illegal, assuming that women who need abortions won't get one illegally. These aren't exactly logical folks we are dealing with here.
6 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I find it sad that the people who so vociferously rant against a woman's right to choose if she should give birth or not never consider that if abortion is made illegal again that it won't stop abortions. All it will do is push the practice back underground where proper facilities and safety regulations are ignored in order to make a quick buck and who cares if the lady survives to have another child!
It's obvious to me that anti-abortion activists are just another branch of self righteous would be do gooders who want to shove their philosophies down everyone else's throats (or elsewhere in the case of transvaginal ultrasounds) with no reagrd to any mitigating factors. That's the opposite of freedom and in line with totalitarianism.
If you don't like abortions, don't have one. Good advice! You can also adopt a child, support birth control and work toward sensible regulation. Advocating for the ban of legal abortion harms people.

It is officially Mardi Gras Carnival Season , and Fat Tuesday – Mardi Gras – is just around the corner. So I thought Mardi Gras cupcakes were in order!
The King Cake might be the traditional sweet on Mardi Gras, but these fun cupcakes are decorated with traditional Mardi Gras colors: purple represents justice, green represents faith and gold represents power.
- 1 French Vanilla cake mix
- 1 1.75oz (4 serving) instant French vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 4 eggs
- 1tsp vanilla
- 1/2 C cold milk
- 1/2 C melted butter (not margarine)
- 1/2 C rum (I used Capt. Morgan which is a spiced rum)
- 1 stick butter
- 1/4 C water
- 1 C sugar
- 1/2 C rum
- 1 cup real butter (not margarine) *room temperature
- 1 cup vegetable shortening
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 cups powdered (confectioners) sugar
- 1/4 – 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- paste food coloring
- Preheat the oven to 350. Combine all ingredients and beat for 2 minutes. Pour into lined cupcake pans and bake for 22-24 mins. Cool slightly on a rack.
- *these would also be good with a toasted pecan in each cupcake (my family wont eat nuts, so I didn't put them in mine)
- Melt butter in a saucepan and stir in the water and sugar. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and slowly stir in the rum.
- Let the glaze cool down a little.
- Dip the tops of the cooled cupcakes in the glaze.
- Thoroughly cream butter and shortening . Beat in the vanilla. Add sugar, one cup at a time until blended. When the sugar is completely beaten in and the sides of the bowl are scraped down, add the whipping cream, beating at the highest speed until super fluffy, about one minute.
- If you wish to add color to your frosting, like I did for these Mardi Gras colors, use the gel paste food coloring. It's stronger and more vibrant.
- Pipe frosting on top of glazed cupcake then drizzle a little more glaze over the butter cream frosting and top with chunky sugar sprinkles.
**I have to be honest, piping 3 colors was NOT an easy task, only about 1/2 of my cupcakes came out looking good, the others were either missing a color, or the colors started to mix and looked gray or brown……if anyone has any tips on piping 3 colors I'd love to hear them!!
How did I do it?- I divided my frosting into 3 bowls and colored each. I then spooned a big scoop of each color into the bag, trying the best I could to get them side by side. I then squeezed the frosting into another bowl until all three color started to come out—then I piped onto the cupcakes, using my 1M tip.

It's interesting to note that every story where you do see bloodshed has involved Robert Holmes in some way!

Get hoistin' the Jolly Roger, ye lily-livered landlubbers.
The change of seasons this week is a time for remembrance and self-reflection, and there's a holiday nestled into the calendar today marking this pensive transition to autumn. We're speaking, of course, of International Talk Like A Pirate Day.
Why hurl salty insults at your friends and loved ones today like you're a one-eyed raider of the high seas? The intent behind today's holiday is for young and old alike to enjoy the seafaring dialects that first entered pop culture when "Treasure Island" was published in 1883 and peaked around the time Johnny Depp first appeared in "Pirates of the Caribbean" as Keith Richards' flamboyant younger brother. Mistaking the holiday for an opportunity to terrorize people in a dinghy while speaking Somali could get you arrested. Sure, they used to do the same awful things back in the early 18th century's "golden age" of piracy, but back then they wore hoop earrings and baboushkas and said things like, "I'll slash ye guts and feed yer to the sharks, ye pox-faced sea dog." Being pillaged was a lot more fun in the old-timey days.
William "Freddie" McCullough's obituary reads: "He attracted more women than a shoe sale at Macy's."
Those who knew William "Freddie" McCullough loved the larger-than-life 61-year-old father of six. Strangers near and far fell in love when they read the Georgia man's obituary published Saturday in the Savannah Morning News, which painted the colorful storyteller in a fantastical light.
"Men wanted to be him and women wanted to be with him," reads McCullough's obituary. "Freddie loved deep fried Southern food smothered in Cane Syrup, fishing at Santee Cooper Lake, Little Debbie Cakes, Two and a Half Men, beautiful women, Reeses Cups [sic] and Jim Beam. Not necessarily in that order."
Looking in vain for signs the gun conversation will change.
Number of deaths in the deadliest mass shootings (12 or more lives lost) in America, 1900–1999: 106
Number of deaths in the deadliest mass shootings, 2000–2013: 112
Signs that mass shootings impact meaningful legislative changes: 0
Dr. A. Charles Catania, a behavior analyst and experimental psychologist at the University of Maryland, shared a difficult statistic with producers of "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC after the Sandy Hook tragedy last year. Catania had reviewed a Washington Post report on the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history and plotted the data on a graph.
The "Liberator" gun was developed by a University of Texas law student.
LONDON (AP) — Britain's Victoria & Albert Museum says it has bought a working gun made on a 3-D printer, which sparked alarm among anti-firearms campaigners when it was unveiled in the United States.
The museum says the gun is an addition to its collection of "new, influential, innovative or experimental" contemporary design.
Lesson learned: Sometimes it pays to ask nicely.
When Eileen Remedios had her bike stolen, instead of turning to the police she opted for a path of kindness. The 55-year-old nurse from England wrote a pleading note to the thief, asking very nicely for the safe return her old blue bike and only mode of transportation. She stuck the note on a nearby lamppost.
"I was feeling quite cross," Remedios told the Daily Mail. "I thought, 'Why would someone want to take my old bike?' I thought maybe someone was drunk and had borrowed it."
The value of a bachelor's degree, in dollars and cents.
With the average tuition and fees for private colleges at a gut-punching $29,056 per year, students and their gently weeping parents may be wondering which fields of study stand to see the greatest financial returns.
Of course, an untold number of additional factors beyond a student's major influence employability and income. And there is more value in a good education than setting up a high starting salary. But for anyone who wants to evaluate the worth of a college degree in dollars and cents, the numbers have officially been crunched.
Balloonist forced down in Newfoundland.
Jonathan Trappe, the man who was attempting an Atlantic Ocean crossing by balloons in the fashion of the animated movie "Up," has landed far short of his goal.
AP reports that Trappe, who struck a cartoonish figure suspended beneath 300 colorful helium-filled balloons, has landed in Newfoundland. He had lifted off Thursday morning from Caribou, Maine, about 350 miles from his landing point, and hoped to cross the ocean in a fashion never attempted before. But even before he launched, wind forecasts did not auger well for his journey.

An intervention! The Alabama State Department of Education's Board of Education voted
unanimously to takeover the Selma City School district.
Selma's City School Superintendent Gerald Shirley witnessed the
vote but was in no mood to talk about it after he walked out.
Shirley only offered 'I have no comment,' and again had 'no
comment' when pressed by WSFA 12 New reporter Bryan Henry.
The board accepted State Superintendent Dr. Tommy Bice's
recommendation to intervene, a recommendation that comes months after a
blistering report showing evidence of academic problems, guidelines not being
followed and a Selma High School teacher allgedly having sex with a student.
"We will be looking at institutional control and secondly we
have real questions about what's being taught and what's being learned,"
said Bice.
Dr. Bice says the school district did, in fact, submit a plan of
action to correct the issues.
"But in my opinion it really didn't address the situation
immediately," Bice told the board.
Selma resident Dee Henderson applauded the board's vote.
"This is a vote that stands up for our children," said
Henderson participated in several protests a few weeks ago calling
for major changes in the front office.
The state takeover is set to last for two years but it could end
"It depends on the Selma leadership. Do they want to work
against us or with us," Bice said.
Dr. Bice says the takeover begins in earnest at the latest next
This is the fourth school district the state has taken over since
Dr. Tommy Bice became the state public school superintendent two years
The Alabama State Department of Education has voted unanimously to take over the Selma City Schools System. The takeover begins next week.
State Superintendent of Education Dr. Tommy Bice had warned for some time that such action may be necessary and had put the system on notice.

I work in a client focused non-profit arena. This trophy was purchased out of the necessity of a small budget. But WOW - when they arrived they were beautiful and high quality. At the awards ceremony, all the staffers noted the size and weight and were blown away by how I had gone "all out" for the awards. One of my recipients even cried because it was "just so pretty." They made a special day even better.

I was so excited when I ordered this trophy. I wanted to give it to my boss on my last day of work. I was so disappointed when I received it. All the etching on one side of the trophy was missing, including the name. I had to send the product back, and look for something else. The quality of this product was very poor. I would imagine that the person who made or packaged this trophy should have noticed, but they still sent it to me. I probably will never order from Baudville again.

Nice dress I purchased this dress in Horizon. The dress seems to run a little big around the hips & stomach. I purchased a 16 because for the most part for me, formal dresses run a little small. I could have ordered this one in a 14. Nevertheless, I love the rose design on the dress. Also, great price. May 3, 2014
Not My Favorite BM Dress Was asked to purchase this as a bridesmaid for a fall wedding. The dress was awkward and uncomfortable. My dress required significant alterations that cost more than the dress to take in the lower part so it wasn't too baggy and shorten the extreme length that the standard dress comes in. Sitting, dancing and getting into and out of limos in this dress is uncomfortable and challenging, I would not recommend this dress. April 9, 2014
Love this dress but I bought this dress online , for a formal party, came upon it while looking for bridemaids dresses and I loved this dress. The only issue was this dress runs very big had to pay 60$ on top of the 70$ purchase price to get it to fit. Overall it looks nice especially if you are a curvy female My dress was a size 22 which was way to big normally in DB dresses i wear 3 sizes up. March 10, 2014
Gorgeous Dress Gorgeous dress but definitely NOT for petites. I am 5'2" and 95 lbs. I bought a size 4 and it fit perfectly but was way way too long. Too much alterations for me. But would look great on a taller girl. Only wish that were me!! January 24, 2014

Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL) deficiency is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of LAL, an enzyme responsible for lipid breakdown. The disease can present in infancy as Wolman disease, or in childhood or adulthood as cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD). Wolman disease is a severe phenotype associated with a clinical spectrum that can include growth failure, malabsorption, steatorrhea, hepatosplenomegaly, failure to thrive and ultimately hepatic failure. Later onset disease may present with hyperlipidemia, liver dysfunction, hepatosplenomegaly, liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis. LAL deficiency may present with findings similar to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and alcoholic liver disease. Dyslipidemia (high cholesterol, triglycerides, and/or low HDL) may also be a presenting feature.

Last year sometime Professor ionbeam and his trusty pillion Helen stopped there for brunch and had such great stories to tell afterward. Apparently the clientele is as interesting as the menu. They have been
Under the heading of Fair Warning!!! Please do check out the Sunday Brunch Menu. It is not your standard Sunday Brunch offerings and the prices are a bit on the elevated side. But who could pass up a half dozen Oysters on the half shell chased down by some Eggs Benedict with Serrano ham? Mmmm.
Since the days are so short right now (sunset @ 4:15 on Sunday), and brunch is only served there from 10AM - 2PM, I think we should plan our arrivals for 11AM.
We can try and find some interesting roads to take afterwards. And if you elect ionbeam to lead us you won't even have to endure any of my regular dirt-road tom-foolery.

PS - It's going to be about a two hour ride to Walpole from the ManchVegas area for anyone that wants to tag along for the ride over. I'll announce a 9AM meeting place once I get a route figured out.

Hey Son, It's OK to Be Gay!
I want my 4-year-old son to know that it's totally OK with me if he's gay. In fact, deep down, I might secretly want him to be.
Radical Mommy: I don't claim to know what it's like growing up knowing that you're gay and having to hide such a big part of yourself from the world. But I do know that the gay men and women I know who were accepted and embraced by parents and friends when they came out say they are much happier, and are much more secure now because of it.
Having a gay child has never, ever been an issue for me, and when I met my husband, I was thrilled to discover it was a non-issue for him as well. Of course, like all parents, we want the best for our child, and I would never want my son to suffer because of who he is and how idiots might see him if he's gay. But gay people do not chose to be gay -- they ARE gay.
According to some of my friends, they knew they were gay from a very young age, some as early as 4. Well, if that's my son, then that's great with me -- I only hope he feels comfortable enough to tell us when he is young so he doesn't have to feel shame or fear, at least in his own home.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I want him to be gay (well ... maybe a little -- after all, then I could have TWO sons when he meets someone), but I'm not saying that I want him to be straight either. What I want is for my son to be who he is, not who society or bigots (or even my husband and I) tell him he should be.
In an effort to let our son know that we love him exactly how he is, whenever my husband and I talk to him about his future, and how one day he'll fall in love with someone, we ALWAYS make a point to say, "You may meet a girl OR boy who you fall in love with."
I am proud of the way we are raising our son. If he isn't gay, so be it -- but hopefully he will take with him all the love, affection, acceptance and tolerance that his parents have for ALL of humanity and spread it wherever he goes.
I hope our attitudes will teach him that it's not OK to judge people, make fun of people, or ostracize people just because you don't like or agree with something about them. I hope our attitudes will teach him that it's OK to stand up for other people, even people who are different than you. I hope our attitudes will teach him that love and respect are the ONLY things worthy of filling his heart and head with.
I wanted to know more about what my husband and I can do to raise a child who is comfortable with who he is and accepting of people who aren't the same as him, so I spoke to parenting expert 'Gay Uncle' Brett Berk. Here's what he had to say:
Sounds to me like your current pro-gay practices are pretty spot-on. Normalizing homosexuality for young kids -- through casual exposure to gay friends, by providing awareness of the idea that there's a range of human sexuality, by suggesting options beyond hetero-normativism -- is the best way for them to think of being gay as ... normal (which, obviously, it is).
My only concern would be not to overdo it on the whole "falling in love" thing. I find that parents often tend to focus in on this stuff too much from an early age, and it just feels like a silly form of pressure to put on kids' nascent social relationships (see my post on BFF BS). When a 5-year-old tells me that they just broke up with their boyfriend, I think that someone in their life has done them a huge disservice. Oh, and being gay, like being straight, isn't only about love. It's also about genetics, and animal magnetism, and attraction, and fun and sex. But you certainly don't need to tell your kid about all that.

that's so gay
We've had similar conversations with my girls when they were young and now that they are older (9 and 14) I have made it clear that I dont care a whit who they choose to spend their life with (man, woman, black, white, pink w/ purple polka dots) so long as there is love and honesty and respect between them.
Sorry, but this is too radical for me.
As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15. Yes I can love my brothers and sisters in spite of their sexuality, but it's not what I'd want for my children and would not indoctrinate him/her about this at such a young age.
I agree with the second Anonymous (Joshua 24:15), but I will love my boys no matter what. I do have a brother who is gay and while we (the whole family) love and accept him, he has told me that he wishes this life on noone. He says people have the wrong idea about it, it's not glamorous or cool, so I have to go by what he says and others I know in that situation.
I am really happy to read this! It's nice to see parents recognize the dangers of Heterocentrism.
When my brother was about 6 years old, I heard him say something was "gay" and I immediately had "the talk" with him. I mean, the "it's OK to be gay" talk.
He is straight, but if he had been gay, he would have known that he would have the support of his sister, and that he wasn't an abomination.
And even though he's not, he knows not to say things are "gay," and to correct his friends if he hears them use that word derogatorily. It takes a lot to change the world, and the best way to do it is to teach children.
(and boo to the anonymous posted before me)
I have to admit, the reason why people don't feel its glamorous or good is because people say its not glamorous or good. Put it this way, if someone said, "Well, I would rather my child not make the choice of Christianity, but if they do, we can forgive them, its their choice." Imagine how that sentence makes you feel, now you know how gay children feel when they hear things about something they can not change.
god made people gay, just as he made some straight and bisexual. I do sincerely hope he forgives you for your intolerance of His grand design when you finally meet him.
Oh that's nice, Anonymous - you love them "in spite" of their gayness? I love that you went off spouting the gospel and chose not to identify yourself, on top of that. lol Way to stand up for Jesus! You think you are serving the Lord with your comment, but you are actually committing a huge disservice to your children by perpetuating your hatred.
And Leelee, of course your brother doesn't wish HIS life on anyone - it's probably been very hard for him his entire life having to live with the shame and guilt of talking to you and your likely overbearing, God-fearing family about it. You may believe you still love your bro and that you'd still love your kids if they were gay, but true love entails acceptance.
Despite people like you two trying to tell the world otherwise, gay people can and indeed do serve the Lord just as easily as straight people. Being a Christian is a choice. Being gay is not.
its one thing to say you are okay with him being gay (if that becomes the case) but to "Secretly" wish he does become gay?? thats the dumbest thing i have ever heard. i dont even know where to begin to argue this. i am just shocked.
Wow Laura,
Yes, you love people "in spite" of who or what they are. That is the very definition of acceptance. How is anything that she said hateful? Just because she chooses not to express homosexuality to her FOUR year old, doesn't mean she's a hater. There are many things that a FOUR year old is not ready to learn. And neither one of them said anything about not being able to serve the Lord or about anything that was hateful. They just said that homosexuality was not something that they will teach or encourage in their homes. They didn't say that they would "shame and guilt" people that they love if they were gay.
Maybe you should think about what you type before you go spouting off. Your post is by far the most hateful thing on here and it is completely off base and prejudiced against Christians.
To Tarcash…I think you need to learn a few more things before posting such words. God does not create someone gay, he created us all equal and with free will and it is with that, that we take it to extremes of our desires. He gave us the free will, but also the knowledge of how we should be living according to his word. And no where in it does it say that he created people to be gay, in fact it says just the opposite of it. Yes we will love the sinner, but not the sin. My brother was gay and struggeled his whole life with it. He tried to get back into being a christian, but in the end he knew that he could not live the life he lived and worship God knowing he was going against God's wishes. This is not a black and white area. People are not born this way, the CHOOSE it with the free will that has been allowed to them.
Youre just going to end up weirding your kid out. Im totally fine with gay people, but telling youre young child that youre okay with whatever boy or girl he ends up with is ridiculous. its hard enough trying to understand your world while youre growing up without youre parents making it stranger than it has to be. If he ends up being straight hes gonna wonder what the hell is wrong with his parents constsntly telling him he should love men. Dont get me wrong though i think youre doing everything you can to make sure he does end up gay so youll probably get your wish, but why you would subject your son to that if there is even a chance youre actions had something to do with it is beyond me.
No one chooses to be gay anymore than
someone chooses to be heterosexual.
You are what you are.
Ok,I think 4 is a bit too young for to hetero/homosexual talk with a child.
I have 2 daughters and love to imagine seeing them married and having their own children one day. I would prefer they marry men, but that isn't my decision to make.
I've only recently explained to my girls (9 & 11) that some people fall in love with people of their own gender after they asked questions after seeing a clip on a news program.
It is amazing to me that people
can criticize homosexuals and
state they go against God's law.
What about obesity in the
Take a look at how many largely
overweight pastors there are,
for example. If I recall, gluttony
is a sin, too, yet, the magnifying
glass always seems to be placed on
gays. If you criticize one "lifestyle"
le's be fair and criticize them all.
She is retarted,,,it's a sexually deviant lifestyle and sends them to hell if they don't repent. Where's her brain.. why doesnt she tell him he can be a drug addict too.
Just cause someone is drawn to something doesnt make it right. What about child molesters, or having sex with dogs. That will be her next discussion.
I am 26 years old an have a Master's degree in social work, and I have to say that this is sick. As a mother of five children, I am shocked that my children have to be raised in a society that has become so tolerant of sexual deviancy. People are teaching our children to "Do what feels right or good at the moment." I consider myself lucky, as I was not brainwashed with this great tolerance of immorality. I pray that parents do not continue to accept the content within articles like this.
Believe what you want about Christianity as a whole, but as based on the Bible, make no mistake that God does not create anyone to be homosexual. Romans 1:26-27 (NKJV):
"For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error."
Oh, "janel". You've got a Masters Degree in social work and not a damn ounce of humanity in you anywhere. An education is vastly different than intellect, and you're clearly lacking in one.
And as for anyone who is currently spouting off biblical (no caps, it's about as philosphically important as toilet paper nowadays) quotes to back up their ignorance, here's a few for you: Leviticus excuses beating your wife to "keep her humble", says that female victims of child rape are seducers and should be put to death, and says that if a child curses, they should be killed. Why aren't you adhereing to THOSE? If you're a Christian, READ THE DAMN BOOK BEFORE YOU START USING IT TO BACK UP YOUR WHIMS ON HOW OTHER PEOPLE GET TO LIVE.
Seriously, people. You're disgusting, and I hope your "God" actually does exist, along with heaven and hell. I'll be going to the latter, but guess what? You'll all be coming with me.
Many people never
seem to want to
touch on all of
the hypocrisy within
the church, as in
my example of obesity.
But, God will judge
each and every one
of us for our
regardless of
how much we try
to dismiss or
marginalize those
acts which seem
more acceptable or
comfortable to
speak about than
others. In the end,
a sin is a sin.
Church leaders
sexually assault
children and are
simply moved from
one church to
another. The Ted
Haggards of religion
have sex with
male prostitutes
and are whisked away
and apologetic for
their actions. Other
church leaders use
drugs, have porn
addictions- the list
is endless.
Again I say, if we
call one "lifestyle"
onto the carpet, we
have to cover all
of the bases folks.
It's just the right
thing to do.

|Marijuana Use and Drug Dependence
In Brief
The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) asks respondents to report on their marijuana use, as well as symptoms of dependence on illicit drugs. Illicit drugs include marijuana/hashish, cocaine (including crack), inhalants, hallucinogens, heroin, or any prescription-type drugs used nonmedically. Current marijuana use is defined as use within the past 30 days. In the NHSDA, dependence is defined using criteria in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), which includes such symptoms as increased tolerance, feelings of withdrawal without the drug, and interference with everyday life in the past year (Table 1).1
New Marijuana Users
According to combined data on age at first use from the 1999 and 2000 NHSDAs, the numbers of new marijuana users among youths aged 12 to 17 increased markedly during the 1990s. The number of new marijuana users among youths in 1990 was fewer than 800,000 but increased to nearly 1.7 million in 1996, comparable to record high numbers last seen in the late 1970s (Figure 1). In 1999,2 nearly 1.4 million youths aged 12 to 17 initiated marijuana use compared with 1.6 million in 1998.
Table 1. DSM-IV Diagnosis of Substance Dependence
Figure 1. Estimated Numbers (in Millions) of Persons Aged 12 to 25 Who First Used Marijuana During the Years from 1965 to 1999
|The numbers of new marijuana users among young adults aged 18 to 25 were lower than among youths for most years. The numbers of young adults initiating marijuana use during the late 1990s ranged from a high of 736,000 in 1996 to a low of 496,000 in 1999, which in turn was a decline from 679,000 new users in 1998. The 1999 estimate of young adults who initiated marijuana use was one of the lowest since the mid-1960's.
Prevalence of Marijuana Use
An estimated 1 in 20 (almost 11 million persons) in the United States used marijuana in the past month in 2000. Use increased for each age beginning at age 12 and peaking at age 19. Among 12 year olds, it was 1 percent (22,000 current users); however, among 19 year olds, it was 18 percent (684,000 current users) (Figure 2). Among 20 year olds, it was 17 percent compared with 8 percent among 25 year olds. Prevalence continued to drop with age, declining to 1 percent for persons aged 50 to 54.
Four million young adults aged 18 to 25 (14 percent) in 2000 were current users of marijuana. Males (17 percent) were more likely to be current users than females (11 percent), and whites (15 percent) and blacks (13 percent) were more likely to be current users than Hispanics (8 percent). Unemployed young adults (22 percent) were considerably more likely to be current users than full-time (13 percent) or part-time employed (15 percent) persons.
Early Use of Marijuana Linked to Dependence in Adults
Earlier use of marijuana is associated with illicit drug dependence during the adult years. Seven percent of adults aged 18 or older who first used marijuana at age 14 or younger (close to 1 million persons) were dependent on illicit drugs in 2000, over twice the rate among those who first used marijuana at ages 15 to 17 (3 percent) and over 5 times the rate among those who first used it at age 18 or older (1 percent) (Figure 3). For young adults aged 18 to 25, this pattern of past year illicit drug dependence was more pronounced—15 percent who initiated marijuana use at age 14 or younger were dependent compared with 6 percent who initiated use between the ages of 15 and 17 and 2 percent who initiated after the age of 17. There were no gender differences in dependence among young adults reporting first use of marijuana at age 14 or younger (7 percent for both males and females). Black (10 percent) and Hispanic (9 percent) young adults who started using marijuana at age 14 or younger were significantly more likely than whites (7 percent) to be dependent on illicit drugs. Similarly, young adults with less than a high school education who initiated marijuana use before 14 years of age were more likely to be dependent on illicit drugs (10 percent) than those with more education (7 percent for both high school graduates and those with some college education, 5 percent of college graduates).
