wookie replied to CrazyPlateFace's discussion 'Tim Burton: It's Funny 'Cause It's True'

That's horrifyingly true. Which is actually how I figured out that Tim Burton hadn't done Coraline (I'm pretty slow on the uptake) was the lack of "signature" scenes.

John T. Capp replied to Bigkrygowski's discussion 'Weekend fun or let my rhino go?'

I've thought about this at greater length. I've concluded that zoos and circuses are nowhere as near as bad as board games when it comes to treatment of animals. For example, I've seen a group of four hippos that were mistreated and starved, forced…

TommysMommy replied to T-Rex's discussion 'Can Career Women Be Successful Mothers?'

Before we had kids, my husband and I used to joke about what being a successful parent meant to us: ensuring that by the time they are 18, they don't need too much therapy. It's not far off! The three year old is currently screaming at his dad. I'm…

jenra replied to Daria's discussion 'Pre-parenthood jealousy'

It really does get easier as the kids get older. Especially when they start sleeping over with their grandparents and friends. It's the best of both worlds! You get to be around your kids most days and still have time alone in your house or time alo…

jenra replied to wookie's discussion 'Except it's not supposed to be a parody'

If only your dad's early (and persistent!!!) attempts at golf had taken... then this would have been a completely different thread!

John T. Capp replied to John T. Capp's discussion 'GOP Waterloo: Healthcare Reform'

When all is said and done, I'll be interested to see how the public comes to think of this legislation. As Frum points out, there are some parts of it that would be quite difficult to roll back, making repeal unlikely. It'll be a big legal case, tho…

T-Rex replied to John T. Capp's discussion 'GOP Waterloo: Healthcare Reform'

It is up to the Republicans to protect these (unborn) children! The bill is not pro-life. Getting people health care is not pro-life. This bill will get more women to have abortions, because all that is keeping women from getting a daily abortion is…
