I realized my aunt (my moms' twin sister) was a lesbian about six years ago. That did two things. First, it told me where my moms strong views on gay equality come from. Second, it humanized the whole gay experience for me. My whole life my aunt had…
Lately I've been playing card tossing with my son (5 yrs old). I take my fedora, put it a decent distance away, we divide the pack into red and black and see who can toss more cards into the hat. He's surprisingly good at it. I thought it would be a…
I'd say the gradual approach is the best one. I'm trying to bring down the amount I drink. This is helping. I can help with other things too (bigger or smaller):

Belief of any kind is the cessation of thought. I'll freely admit I haven't read all five pages of posts. To the OP:
1. Occult *meant* that. These days it mainly means evil to the mainstream. Keep that in mind when using the word. If you want to ch…
I always excelled at presenting and defending a point of view. It was in the thick of an argument where I really got to test and improve my recall and debate skills. It was uncomfortable, but in a good way; like the thrill of scoring a goal or being…
I have a boy, and I'll admit it's much easier to play with trains and 'mighty machines' than it is to play more girly games. Part of it is personality and conditioning, I'm sure, although some of it must be comfort. I'm much happier with "We need to…
Even the word we use to describe deep male friendships: 'bromance' suggests something sexual.
I agree with the general tone. Just tell him, and keep it light. As Jeff Foxworthy pointed out: "If men have an odour, it's usually an accident."
I just started taking vitamin D after enough people told me it might help improve my mood. Since I took the first tablets today, I haven't noticed a change yet.
I'll report back in a week, assuming I remember to take them.
I had one lecture me about the value of planning then in the next breath tell me we didn't need to plan the next project because "it's very simple, and I don't need to tell you everything" (after he said this on the last one and it turned into a nig…
Another thought: it's already happened.
On the hypothetical, I don't predict huge changes. Temporary disruptions for sure, but there's nothing particularly unique about Christians that others couldn't fill the roles they play right now.
I agree completely, although I also agree playfulness may be a better word than boyishness. I would also suggest 'passion' as another word to use.
It's being comfortable where you are, and it's also being able to get excited about something you bel…
I know it's been said already, but definitely Teddy Roosevelt. Maybe Bernarr McFadden (look him up, he's hilarious).
TR would be a great challenge (I'm a fairly experienced martial artist). Bernarr McFadden too (he did Greco Roman wrestling for a l…
