What I've found in my family is that if you catch the uncontrolled child in a bad enough situation, your kids will become disgusted by the behavior. You can discipline your kids when they act out around...

Former Tomboys: Did you get an uncomfortable feeling inside your stomach when you first changed into a girly girl? What did you do to make that go away, but still act like a girl? What would be the best way to handle that? I was a tom-boy, but looking back I wish I had played dress up or played with dolls--so I work with folks with Alzheimer's Disease, and now I get to play with dolls. No, really... you'll probably just work out a balance between the tomboy and the girl in you, that's about what I've done.

Have you ever lost a Loved One? If Yes Who? I lost my Mother Feb. 5th, 2006. I would just like to take a moment and remember All the loved One's who have passed on. A dear friend of mine passed away around last Easter. I had known him most of my life. He was a great and gentle man. I left school and drove home for the weekend. The paper from his funeral is still in my Bible.

What year has been the hardest for you to get through so far? What happened during that year that made it so difficult? Dang, I don't even feel like I should post after reading all that. It has been a difficult year for me. Lots of transitions and changes, several deaths of people who have meant a lot to me (people I know through church and various activities), graduating college, starting grad school and working (and the financial situation implicit in that arrangement), moving away from all my family...

People have been saying that AB is NOT about the POINTS. If that's the case, should we just abolish the points and rankings system altogether? Don't give me points for this one, I won't give you any too. I don't think points are the focus of AB, but I don't think they should be done away with. I do get aggravated when I lose points, though. ;-) Don't we all?

What is the oldest a human has lived to? (That we have proof of, no biblical references, I want a factual answer, please) It's difficult to answer this, because for many of the oldest old, their records have been destroyed in war or natural disaster.

I was wondering, when is it "ok" to have sex without a condom? I'm referring to the entire "that time of the month" thing. I've heard as long as its within two days after you've started and two days before you end? Never, never. Weird crap happens all the time, and personally, I know my luck. Rhythm birth control totally worked for my grandparents, they only had three accidental pregnancies. (please note the sarcasm)
