Thanks!
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

so God is cool with hitting infants, not-breast feeding, over populating the earth, but NOT contraception. got it.
Well, they can find biblical proof texts for 3 of the 4. You've got "spare the rod and spoil the child," "fill the earth and subdue it," and the one about how a man's sons are like arrows in the hands of a mighty warrior, and blessed is the one who has a full quiver of them. Granted, there are those of us who manage to be Christians without interpreting any of the above literally.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"spare the rod and spoil the child,"
Is that one actually in the Bible? I always thought it was a more recent proverb.

I kind of hate that woman.
Kat, Tree Pose Noah is adorable!! Speaking of which, do you want a copy of Itsy-Bitsy Yoga that Ethan got free from work? It might be a bit dumbed-down for you, but it's all about doing yoga with a toddler.
YES! I can't wait for Noah to be old enough to go to yoga to do it! There is a toddler class at one of the 4 studios I go to.
K and Noah are at the beach today (after dropping me off at work). Keep in mind it's way overcast and chilly. But she called me to tell me that she saw a guy catch a shark (!!) and try to wrangle him off his fishing line and back into the ocean. Then she called back and said she saw a pod of dolphins.
I'm so jealous of her beach going experience. Stupid work.

Hm. I googled. The exact quote is different, but the spirit is the same: "He who spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes" (Proverbs 13:24)

Huh, interesting. (That "correct" is apparently equivalent to "hit with a stick," I mean. Not much middle ground there!)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We had the best, fastest, easiest veg last night. We sauteed diced onion and shredded cabbage (we were too lazy to shred, so we just used coleslaw mix) and added curry powder and a bit of soy sauce. Delicious, and I am not usually a cabbage fan!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"He who spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes"
So it's OK to hit boys, but no mention of girls?
Is this sorta' how all the biblical prohibitions against homosexuality only mention men?

3 accused of using corpse head to smoke pot
Jones claimed he and his friends used shovels to dig up the body and removed the corpse's head with a garden tool, Adkins said. Jones also revealed he and the other two boys took the severed head to the juvenile's home, where they used the skull as a "bong" to smoke marijuana, the officer said.

Okay, if you're high enough to think this is a good idea? YOU ARE SMOKING TOO MUCH POT.
