Samuel Chapman replied to Ben's discussion Did your Grandfather or Great Grandfather fight in WW2?"It fell between generations in my family. My grandparents were all in school or younger, and their parents were either reserved occupations (farmers so not conscripted) or were too old for service and served in WW1.
I did have a great uncle…"
Samuel Chapman replied to Wes's discussion Raising someone else's child- advice please!"I think your friends' advice holds some water here.

Samuel Chapman replied to Kevin Lawson's discussion "You're Not a Man", said the woman."You're way ahead of the curve for 18. The problem seems to have been her perception, not yours or your actions.

Samuel Chapman replied to Hyrum Higgins's discussion Are emoticons and internet slang manly?"No.
Firstly, they are juvenile.
Secondly, a man endeavours to do his best when writing.
Thirdly, they are a symptom of laziness.
If you wish to be seen as a man who can be looked up to then they have no place in your writing."

If you have maintenance…"
Samuel Chapman replied to Jacob Rumschik's discussion Always Wanted To Be A Doctor, Now I've Decided Against It. What Next?"All medical careers are great for emigration purposes too. Midwifery is usually the highest in demand and would be a real curveball of a career option for you."
Samuel Chapman replied to Tyler Christ's discussion Should it end if neither of us want it to?"I agree with Will, you sound like a good influence but either her or her family see you as a negative one. What's causing that?"
Samuel Chapman replied to Dakota Caraway's discussion Jobs..."Also, 20 resumes isn't a lot. I'm working in a profession where having lots of part-time subcontracted jobs is the norm. Last September I send out about 100 applications, got offered about 12-15 interviews and parlayed that into 4 new…"
Samuel Chapman replied to Steve C's discussion Habemus Papam! in the group Catholic Men"These attitudes are always prevalent and, to me, inexplicable. The Anglican church has taken the path of ordaining women and several other of these policies that liberals feel churches ought to take. The end result has neither been effective nor…"
