Not everyone needs to see the "point" of every thread posted on p.com/ It is a community board and has quite a lot of diversity among its members. So if there's much activity at all some of it's bound to not be of interest to everyone here. This thread is about how some Military families create boundaries between work and home that add to their happiness. The article says that small rituals can benefit families in all walks of life not just the Military. The article is for those who are looking for ways to improve their relationships with their families.

Postman I first remember hearing Denis Waitley recite the poem on one of his tapes years ago. I noticed you mentioned taking better care of your health. I need to do some of that, too. My Robot: R-U-ME2 by Dr. Denis Waitley (This poem was taken from Denis Waitley's Excerpts from The Seeds of Greatness Treasury booklet) I have a little robot, That goes around with me. I tell him what I’m thinking, I tell him what I see, I tell my little robot, All my hopes and fears. He listens and remembers, All my joys and tears. At first my little robot, Followed my command, But aft

Does anyone know percentage wise how many members of the National Guard saw combat in say the Vietnam war compared to more recently? Following World War II, National Guard aviation units, some of them dating back to World War I, became the Air National Guard, the nation's newest Reserve component. The Guard stood on the frontiers of freedom during the Cold War, sending soldiers and airmen to fight in Korea and to reinforce NATO during the Berlin crisis of 1961-1962. During the Vietnam war, almost 23,000 Army and Air Guardsmen were called up for a year of active duty; some 8,700 were deploy

That's an interesting story. Thanks for sharing it. It reminds me of some of the small rituals mentioned in the article: Not surprisingly, given the resiliency of service personnel, some have come up with little tricks to help with the transition from work to home. We did a small survey about argument-triggers at an Army base a while back and found that many of the non-abusive service men and women in our comparison group had invented little rituals they performed prior to entering their homes. Some took off unit pins, bandanas, or other removable insignias. A few said a little pray

And?

The article says that the stores that are closing are superstores.

Different books appeal to different people. I knew the book was a best seller so I decided to check to see how popular it was. The 5 Love Languages has sold over five million copies, and been translated into more than 40 languages.

It's about things some people do to encourage happiness in their homes.

Dr. Stosny closes with this statement: "But there is one thing I've learned in working with couples who struggle to make relationships last in our complex and demanding world: If you want to love big, you must frequently think small."

I'm praying.

I had the faux security trojan several months ago. I restored my pc to an earlier date (before the faux security messages) and then ran Malwarebytes.

The op brought the Bible and the Sabbath up in his post:

According to Dr. Steven Stosny small rituals can help you have a happier life at home with your family: Cleaning up emotional pollution. by Steven Stosny Transitions from Work to Home Home is where the transition trap is Published on January 4, 2011 I've noticed a significant change in the past decade of clinical work with highly distressed couples. The majority of disputes that eventually lead to acrimony or abuse or even violence are no longer triggered by alcohol use or discussions of money, sex, raising the kids, or in-laws.... Nowhere is the difference be

I was just replying to surepip's post.

There is a great different between laughting with someone and laughting AT them; being cruel for example.

LPPT, will you please tell everyone what question I asked in the thread that the op answered with her reference to juice?

People that are depressed are already weighted down by burdens only they may know about.

Someone just made a joke about juice in a thread that was about someone committing suicide Is that all suicide is; an opportunity to make another joke?

Do you know when the Sabbath started being observed on Sunday? Have you read the other passages in the Bible that are about alcohol?

Meetup is an online social networking portal that facilitates offline group meetings in various localities around the world. Meetup allows members to find and join groups unified by a common interest, such as politics, books, games, movies, health, pets, careers or hobbies http://www.meetup.com/

Is this the caring spoken of in the "community" thread?

Do you have anything constructive to contribute to the topic of this thread: Underage Drinking?

In some parts of the country people are taking action against the problems underage drinking causes. In one post I mentioned the San Diego Youth Council. I'm interested in finding out what has worked in other parts of the country or other parts of the world and going from there. I thought that someone on p.com might be interested in doing something about the problem in our area...

These families experience heartbreaking losses: •Underage drinking is a factor in nearly half of all teen automobile crashes, the leading cause of death among teenagers. •Alcohol use contributes to youth suicides, homicides and fatal injuries – the leading cause of death among youth after auto crashes.

Please look at the topic title. Did you read the article I posted from the American Medical Association referring to underage drinking: age 11 for boys?
