haha! Yes, I'm not sure I ever said "nanny nanny boo boo" to my parents but I'm sure I thought it! And OMG... if my kid brought a black widow to my face... I'd just DIE!! HAHA!

It's so extremely scary. All of these things are true! I can remember my brother doing that to my parents. He was actually going to counseling for his horrible behavior, and the next time he was in trouble and my dad was in his face because of my brother's disrespect, my brother dared him to do hit him!! My dad NEVER did that! He told him that if he did, or mom did, that he could call

Absolutely.
He scares me, too.
Shame on him. I can't refrain from saying that. I mean no disrespect to our President, but I also can't respect someone who does wrong.

Well done.

That is true of all of us I believe. I don't think any one person will be just one of these for their entire life but I have noticed since I read this the first time that I will weigh tough decisions based on these "types" of person and which one I want people to remember me being in the end. :)

I understand and agree with you! I've come across little publications and websites like that over the years, and they disturb me just as much as you. I recently about flipped my lid because Whoopi Goldberg managed to slip inaccurate statements about the Catholic church into a Jimmy Fallon interview. I've seen clips of her, Joy, most of the others on The View doing the same thing on the

2009-06-11T19:13:35.243-07:00

A parent is truly the best influence on a child. Believe me, I question my own parenting. I know I was selfish at times, but my children knew I'd give my life for them. They are both grown and gone. One has definitely found his way back to the Faith. The other I'm still praying for. We can only give them over to Our Lord and Our Lady when they go. We have to trust God to care for

Ashlyn,
I do not mean to attack, I believed we were having a debate. If you read my blog about making myself completely clear you will see that I was not just asking you to compromise or be open minded. I am compromising on my position by saying we could keep the hard cases for discussion at a later time and just focus on the other 99%. Believe me it goes far against what I'd like to

2009-06-11T13:27:24.549-07:00

I'm choosing just not to talk about it anymore. I feel somewhat attacked for having differing views. I never meant to start a debate and therefore should never have commented and will remember to not do so in future possibly conflicting ideals. I feel I'm the only person being asked to compromise or be open-minded. You all feel strongly, as do I. No amount of talking back and forth, no

Ashlyn:

It is one thing to anticipate what you would do in a situation, and another to actually be in the situation. Regardless of how a baby is made, it is still knit together in the womb by God. It is not the babies fault to be in the situation. I know people that have been raped and have had great healing by either keeping the baby, or giving the baby up for adoption. At some

2009-06-08T06:37:43.823-07:00

Well a couple of harsh realities here:
Women get raped.
Then keep it to themselves, which leaves the attacker free to rape others.
Then they are under the impression that "getting rid" of the child will "get rid" of the incident.

So, in a very blunt way I'm going to ask you this:

Are you suggesting that it is better to let a woman

2009-06-07T11:39:33.573-07:00

I agree that the ones that have had consented to a sexual encounter should NOT be allowed the choice. But....If a law was passed it would then mean that the woman/child would have to identify there attacker and speak openly to a stranger about the incident to prove it was not consensual. How can we do that without infringing on personal rights? That is why I think it is impossible. A lot of woman

2009-06-04T07:38:47.539-07:00

I would not presume to take any one person and focus my attention to change their minds on anything, however if I can put my opinions out there and change one persons mind on having an abortion then I have done what I feel is my job.
There have been many studies where women who have been raped have been interviewed. And, although abortion seems to be a good way to "forget" their

2009-06-03T20:49:22.219-07:00

I'm pro-choice. Would I have an abortion? I'd like to say the answer to that is No. But.....If I was raped or if I wasn't able to get away from my father and got pregnant--Could I live with the memory of that horrible encounter growing inside me for 9 months? I don't think I could and I do not think I could ask another woman too either. For people who have consented to a sexual

2009-05-14T10:20:00.000-07:00

What an interesting analogy. Thanks for sharing. I believe I am a sheepdog. I am the rock or the glue as my family has called me, quick to stick up for those I love, with no thought of my own protection. Though, admittedly, I think I've had my moments as all three.

What a great set of gals! I must say, I disagree with Rita Hayworth. In my opinion, women loose nothing when they take there clothes off! For a woman to have the courage and self-esteem to take it all off---Amazingly, Beautiful! Our bodies are a glorious canvas of wonders and possibility, why deny ourselves the chance for art?!
