Insane real estate market
by target init is unbelievable here in phoenix arizona.
it is absolutely insane.. we listed our house at a little more than $100,000 above what we paid for it 4 years ago when we built it.
20 minutes after it went online with mls we had a full price offer site unseen.

Insane, try the San Francisco Bay Area. I grew up there and I dont see how anyone can afford to buy a home there if they are first time home buyers. even with me and my husband working what we could afford was not in the Bay Area proper, had to go out to Tracy and Stockton just to see stuff in our price range and then 3 months later we were priced out.
Thank God we moved to Indiana where the market is normal.

Discipline for Lying -- Opinions Please
by adelmaal inour daughter is 10 and she is in 4th grade.
she has been having a tough time this year with schoolwork and she has started early puberty (boobs, acne, pubic hair, crushes on boys, etc.).
recently, we have been having problems with her lying to us and making up stories/excuses.

I am scared of my future marriage
by jwbot ini am watching oprah (right now actually) and the topic hits close to home.
good timing actually, because yesterday i was thinking of talking with my fiance, mike about this very thing.
you see, mike really loves kids, and we plan to have them eventually, its a very important part in our relationship (to him, mostly).

hm, I dont think my dear hubby has ever been jealous about the attention i give my kids especially when they were babies. i've even heard him brag about how good i am with the kids and that i have breastfed every one of them. he just wants some attention too. i think some women, myself included, believe that our hubbys are so grown that they dont need us, at least not like our kids do. but he married me, he's in love with me, he wants to spend time with me doing whatever - snuggling on couch watching csi.
actually as i think about it i am the center of this universe . i remember wanting to be one of the popular kids in high school and now i just realized i am the most popular person in this house, lol. i need to use this power for good, starting with bestowing some good lovin on the hubby!

I watched that program too and what i got from it was the parents are the core of the family and the children are the satelites. if the core is not strong, emotionally spritually physically, then it makes the family weak and the children insecure. kids may tell you they hate to see their parents kiss and snuggle or display any physical affection but they really like it - trust me they do. I cant say i love my husband and children equally - the love i have for them is vastly different and not on the same level, but i could see where the lady writer was coming from. i do tend to neglect my dear husband and after seeing that program and hearing the male point of view (which i wasnt paying attention when my hubby was saying it) i do think we need to make time for us alone.

JWs and early christians.
by greendawn inthe jws claim that they are a faithful copy of the early christian apostolic church however there are numerous differences between the two eg in the way christ was perceived, the apostles thought of him as a lord to be worshipped and be invoked, something that the jws loath doing.
and also all the baptised participated in the bread and wine ritual weekly, rather than a handful participating yearly .
does anybody know of any other differences in belief or behaviour or overall structure?

ok tell me if this is rude.
My parents have some old friends who happen to be jws. they moved about 4 hours away and sometimes would come to visit my parents when their district conventions were in my parents area.
On one such occasion they brought up their grown son of about 30 (who is a cancer survivor but whom they treat like a child). this man stayed in my parents' house for a few days. When i came over with my children to visit he would not speak to me, would not even acknowledge me. Oh he spoke to my brother, but neither my brother nor am I are baptised jehovah's witnesses. I did not confront the jerk, even though he was staying my parents's house and was being totally rude and disrespectfully.
By the way both of his parents spoke to me and carried on conversations with me and his father at one time was an elder.
So, was that rude or what?

I feel the same way Beebee.
we lived in Oakland, which was cool when we didnt have kids. But the Oakland school district is so horrible and we couldnt afford private school. I was just dying to get out of Oakland and California as a whole.
almost 5 years ago when I first visited my inlaws in Ohio, I so impressed that I told my husband if we ever get the chance to move back east we should do so. Best thing we ever did for our family was moving to Indiana.
