Well, then, I cannot agree with them if they ONLY want Creationism taught - no more than I would agree with someone ONLY wanting evolution taught. As a conservative Christian, I know what I believe to be true. My children do, and also my husband who is a public school science teacher. But we...

Evolution as it applies to changes occurring in organisms is not what most object to being taught. That facet of evolution is most definitely observable and proven fact. The evolution that should not be taught as fact is origin of the species. It is a theory the same as creationism or aliens...

Congratulations! I saw Dove with Denise this weekend at the show and she is absolutely breathtaking! Barbara

Well, I am having a blast - but I'm not showing, my daughters are. After taking several years' break from showing while my girls were younger, we are tiptoeing back into the ring. We have our first AMHR show this weekend at the Darke County Fair. My girls have shown in a couple of open shows...

Well, as the mother of two daughters, once who turns 13 on Sunday, and a former teenage girl myself, I know it was my worst fear back then and now also. I am very open with my daughter. Honestly, with all of the various forms of effective birth control available, and most you can get for free...

LOVE this! :yeah :yeah :yeah And I SO completely agree! We only own geldings and they are perfect for what we want. Barbara

I LOVE sleeping with the windows open - and we have been very blessed these past two weeks that our weather has been gorgeous and we haven't had to run the AC. I have also gotten very used to having a fan running, so I have to have that noise or I can't sleep. Drives my husband a little crazy...

This thread is making me hungry! Local: Los Mariachis - Mexican - they have the BEST salsa and guacamole Flyers Pizza - local pizza place with fantastic pizza Ann & Tony's - Italian - love their chicken parmesan Chain: Applebees - love their soup and salad lunch special Fast Food/Fast...

Thank you, Jill! I had seen those and was able to watch some of them. I'll get back over there to watch the rest.

Hmmm....seems he shares some similarities with Republican Ohio Governor John Kasich. This is from the article on Perry. RLC of Texas Chairman Judson Vandiver asks, “Let’s hope Republicans outside Texas see through all the hype. Let’s all say to to Perry what he said to a Texas state...

I am SO glad to hear from you! I have been so worried about Blake since the last I had heard was right before he went into his surgery. So glad to hear he made it through and they are both doing well. They are adorable in that picture! I am very sorry to hear about everything you have been...

God is SO good! I am so happy for you! It sounds like He has amazing plans ahead for you! Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV) 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Barbara

Thank you!

I didn't get a chance to watch it - no cable. I'm hoping it will be available on-line in its entirety at some point. Barbara

LOL - this would actually be one reason I MIGHT vote for him! It would be nice to have a President who actually "walks the walk" and not just "talks the talk" when it comes to getting the right wing religious vote. Barbara

Thank you! So glad someone gets what I was trying to say! Hooray!! LOL That is exactly the problem with trying to make education run like a "business." We're not building widgets, we're building the future! And I LOVE your last line! As the daughter of a retired SWAT team member and the...

Thanks, Julie! I'm glad you enjoyed it, please share it with your family. Sometimes it helps to create an analogy to something unrelated to education to help people understand some of the difficulties teachers face! Barbara

Nothing to add except :yeah :yeah :yeah :yeah

For the record, I was never upset by the OP (although I thought it was stupid) and I wasn't upset by the Republican list (it was stupid, too). And I guess both of those lists would have applied to me because I DID vote Democrat in 2008 AND I am a registered Republican! What I took offense to...

They are both gorgeous and those are fabulous pictures! Barbara
