Be honest, Do you really Enjoy Christmas?
by BluesBrother in
1. jw
2. friends
dansk's christmas tree thread got me to thinking .. in this house we do not celebrate since my wife is still a die hard dub.

i have no complaints about that, it was our joint choice for decades and i an the one that changed .but as witnesses we were always given the negative view of the holiday time :-.

"people feel that they just have to do it although they do not really want to".

i was pondering this after an aa meeting the other day.

Cloth Diapers

1. social
2. family
so .. my husband and i are going to start trying for kids next year.

we had a long discussion last night about disposable diapers vs. cloth diapers.

i know this decision can wait but i just like talking about my expectations early rather than end up with conflict later on.. i want to use cloth diapers and he thinks disposables are the way to go.

i don't think we've had one for a while, i can't find the last one anyway!

so just to satisfy my curiosity it would be great to see some of your photos, of you, your family even your pets (they're family too!

) then i'll know if any of you do look like your avatars cos that's what i'm always wondering!

a customer called up looking for pricing and information about some material and whether or not home despot sells equal quality product.
