I don't find it odd that students at a Christian school would not "take the Lord's name in vain" - it is a commandment after all.

And how is no perverts at a school a bad thing? clearly not getting you.

so the other 50% of the Christian Schools in South Florida are filled with kids who are interested in being corrupted? Where is that data coming from? Did you attend numerous schools or teach at them?

Yeah, at first you're using it to catch up on email and get the last box of Cap'n Crunch, but next thing you know the missiles are on their way and you have to freeze everyone and spend the rest of your life alone.

You say 'alone' like it's a bad thing.

Almare, I'm not following your point, either. I thought maybe your initial post was making a joke with a reference I didn't get.

xposted with Bitches:

Just talked to my parents. The scan they did on dad's heart this morning was inconclusive--no sign of clotting in the damaged portion, but that doesn't prove there wasn't a clot there before causing the problem. Also, they found a small spot on one of his lungs (he had lung cancer ~10 years ago), but because of the size and placement can't do a biopsy without surgery, and it sounded like they hadn't decided if/when to do that, since it'd involve taking him off some of the blood thinners he's on because of cardiac/TIA issues.

So, to sum up, we don't know anything. Argh.

I think we're waiting until this summer to start test-driving minivans. Depending on what DH's raise actually comes through as bring-home, we may also consider buying used.

We went with a used domestic with an extra warranty, to save a lot of money over a new one. I kinda wanted to get the Honda van, but even the used ones were pretty expensive. Now with the price of gas, and the third child option looking unlikely, I sort of wish we had gone with something smaller than a minivan. OTOH, we can go to Home Depot with the kids and still have tons of room for stuff.

Much health-ma to your dad Susan.

Gud, I think Cashmere's mini-van post was from Bitches.

We kind of need the mini-van with three kids, if I ever want to be able to bring another child anywhere, with us. Remember the good old days, when your mom could take as many kids as you could cram in the back, and way-back of the station wagon?

Well, with the two dogs, it's kind of like having two kids already. And we want to sprog again. Plus, we're constantly doing upgrades/fixes to the house (they guys at Lowes know us by our first names) so I'm thinking a minivan is a good option for us. It just comes down to affordabilty and how new/how many options we can get for what we can spend.

Well then, yeah, a Minivan is fantastic for that.
