I only carry my cell phone for emergencies, like if I have car trouble or the school calls me when my child is injured. My family knows only to call me on it for emergencies, too. I don't give that number out to friends. That makes my cell phone a useful tool, not a nuisance.

Unventer, my brother did the same thing. He retired from the Air Force and the Reserves. He also took early retirement from GM when they closed the plant where he worked. He takes home more money than when he was working. Wish I had done that. I was lazy.

My daddy told me that my banana bread and meatloaf was much better than momma's. Then he always made a sandwich with the leftover meatloaf so I saved it just for him (my hubby hates leftovers). He's been gone 7 years now and meatloaf still makes me misty.

Hey unventers, I just wanted to give you a heads up if you buy one of those huge new front loading washers, go ahead and buy the big dryer. I didn't and now I wash all my clothes in an hour or so but I have to dry them for hours afterwards. Now I'm saving for a new washer.

To the person who stopped going to church to avoid the guilt trip: You went to the wrong church. We have an awesome pastor who preaches forgiveness and the Good News of the Gospel. God bless you, Pastor John Lay!

Score: 3

To the person who is always trying to stir up the unvent, by telling us how wonderful he feels since he stopped going to church: We still love you, and will continue to pray for you. By the way, God is the creator of the all the nature, that you enjoy so much, and yes, life may be shorter than you think.

Score: 1

I go to Mass because it is my time to be one with the Lord. My priests' sermons are based on the readings for that day and how they relate to everyday life and how we can become closer to the Lord. If you are tired of being made to feel guilty maybe you should find a different faith that will give you the peace you desire.

I know a young man is in his 20's who has done nothing with his life. Dropped out of school, shoplifting and DUI, plays video games all day.. I think the Army would give him discipline and direction in his life, but am afraid to encourage it because of the Middle East. I'd feel partly to blame if he was injured or killed.
