I certainly would include them both, why not

just give a "general gift card" to a local mall. It does not have to be for much, $25 or $50 and be done with it.

Does that include
saline spray? My mom swears by it. Have you tried stuff like Rhinocort, the steroid spray stuff? My MD recommends those. You can try getting off milk and other dairy products and drink water instead of soft drinks. You could try cutting sugar out.

I do occasionally read that sinus infections can be caused by a fungal infection. In fact I also read there is a theory that that's why so many people have asthma these days. They think the high-powered antibiotics are causing fungus, and the fungus is causing asthma. I read that on the Pharma-Lexicon website.

Just love them and include them. Don't make them feel SM
like they are a part of a bad movie not really understanding the plot and worried about what is going to happen to them. I have an adjustment disorder and panic situation all my life as a result. When you feel the floor falling out from under you it is a frightening situation. Just make them feel as secure as possible.  That is the main thing. Tell them over and over it has nothing to do with them. Kids tend to blame themselves. I don't know the ages of your children, but young ones particularly take it on themselves. I told my dad the night it really fell apart that if I had been a better daughter this would not have happened. Obviously, that was not an accurate statement. I was sitting in a chair unable to walk listening to a terrible fight and my mom telling him she hated him. No one should have memories like that. My parents were good people. They felt overwhelmed and that is what happened. We needed family counseling.  Good luck to you, dear.
Didn't mean to include duplicate sentences at end! (nm)

Wouldn't the exercise of free will also include
his right to determine what is and what is not a "sin" for HIM? Is he also not free to determine that the relationship is irreversibly doomed because it got off on the wrong foot? Do you think a therapist can or should talk him out of that? Is that a better way to launch into part 2 of the affair?

It is possible, since he clearly stated it was "the hadest thing he ever did," that he is not and will not get past the pain it caused for both of them. Why does wanting a fresh start make him into a Mr. Milquetoast who needs therapy?

Bottom line here. If it's not right for HIM, then it's not right for THEM.

Businesses refusing to include Christmas in advertising.

What? No Christmas? I just don't get it.  For years, businesses have advertised Christmas, but now, ewww, don't even THINK of saying the word, ***CHRISTMAS***, for you might get THAT LOOK from someone who is ewwwww offended.  Offended? Give me a break!  I am supposed to accept every other religious nuance with open arms, but if I say MERRY CHRISTMAS these days, I get a very negative knee jerk response.  I'm sick of it.  So, I'm doing something about it, just like I did last year.  So, here goes...


TARGET - you're IN. I'll shop at your store because you are including Christmas in your advertising.


WALMART - you're OUT.  Not only are you not advertising Christmas, your snarky response to my email simply questioning your intentions really turned me off .  I also won't be shopping at your other company SAM'S CLUB either!
UPDATE - WALMART HAS ANNOUNCED 11/9 THAT THEY WILL BE INCLUDING CHRISTMAS IN THEIR ADVERTISING AND ADMIT THAT THEY MADE A MISTAKE.  SEE LINK HERE AND BELOW!  http://tinyurl.com/yd9gx9


KOHL'S - You're IN.  The letter you sent was very respectful and I appreciate that you will be including Christmas in your advertising.


SEARS - You're OUT.  Kwanzaa? You actually used Kwanzaa as a reason for not advertising Christmas?  Diverse cultures? Afraid you're going to offend other religious beliefs? Do you have a CLUE that Christianity is the NUMBER 1 religious belief system in America?


DILLARDS - You're IN.  Discover Christmas. Discover Dillards.  Good job.


LOWE'S - You're IN. Glad you smartened up and changed your sign from Holiday Trees to Christmas Trees...DUH!


MACY'S - You're IN.  Thank you for allowing your employees to now say Merry Christmas and for placing advertisements in your stores, television, online, and print ads.


VICTORIA'S SECRET - You're IN.  Christmas trees and music in your stores? What a novel concept. Kudos.


As of this writing, other stores as of last year not advertising Christmas are Kroger, Dell, Office Max, Walgreens, Staples, and J.C. Penney.  I'm doing research to find out if they've smartened up and changed their position.  I will post as I find out more information.


What it all comes down to, folks, is that these businesses CAN advertise Christmas.  Christmas was here FIRST, but fat cat corporations are trying to lump all religious holidays together into one even though they don't fall on December 25!  Does any of this make sense? People generally don't buy Thanksgiving gifts, but Thanksgiving is advertised.  Hmmm.  Interesting concept, isn't it? 


Some readers may not like what I have to say and to them, I say...oh well.  I believe in what I believe.  In my opinion, there should be no reason to be offended by Christmas. If you celebrate a holiday other than Christmas, when it rolls around, celebrate it will a full heart!  I sure am!

Heads up! The Gab board is for general discussion not to include MT, Religion, or Politics.
This was put into place when we very first set up the Gab board.  We have a Christianity, Conservatives, and Liberals forum that you can post on.  But, let me be clear. I do not condone trashing of anyone's religious preference and neither should you.  I expect posts on any of these forums to be respectful (that does NOT mean we are censoring, there IS a difference).  This is NOT open for debate. These are the rules.  If you can't respect them, you don't need to post here.
I have a life, a great life at that. I just happen to include my canine family
