There are some scriptures about honoring your parents and older people. There are others about it being sinful to have no natural affection for your family. Those might help.
I wish I knew what those were.

Have been love-bombing our boy for a while and slowly talking to him. Just him but not his wife. Today in a conversation him and my wife and I, the question about Birthdays come up. My wife asked if it's alright to by his young 2 year old daughter a Birthday gift. He says no we don't believe in that. I said what if we wrap a gift in plain paper that doesn't say anything about birthday on it. He was kind of blank. I asked him how he enjoyed that stuff when he was 4 or 5 years old. He said it was fun. I said well why can't the kid's have fun too? Again kind of blank. He would keep bringing up how the Bible opened his eyes with life. How he will die and be resurrected into a new world. He was always saying he'll show us all kind of scriptures in the bible. I said why can't you people accept people the way they are but you expect us to accept you? Keeps going off on a tangent "I can't explain but I can show you in the bible". -

New layout feels very chaotic
by EndofMysteries ini don't really know how to describe the feeling but i'll give examples, but the new layout to me makes it feel tiring being on for too long.
1. there is the top menu, then a big add between that and the next part, a big ad between the bottom and where you reply, then on the right column you either have 2 ads on top or some type of summary, then ad, then either related posts or other areas.
there are no borders, the adds have the same color and text type but larger font, and it all seems chaotically merged into one thing where you need to constantly sort out what you are viewing.

Wow that worked................Never new of such a thing. Now I sort of now what a "Snippet" is.

Couldn't there just be the thread topic shown rather than the topic and lines of text??
It so congested because you have to view the content along with the topic.

Also if want to "Quote" someones post it doesn't work right. If you do the quote first then you can't get out of it to type your post. So what I tried and it worked was, you have to type your post first. Then cursor to the beginning of the post and insert the quote. -

Hi, Simon,
I still have a -1 next to the message envelope. Not sure why. I opened all the messages that were sent to me just in case I hadn't read one. Thought I would mention it to you.

That's what happens when they all walk around carrying guns like they're BIC pens.
