skop "rhymes with chop"

I scored 100% I'm glad some people are being helped by it, but I still think the "working poor" and the middle-class (especially the lower middle class) are getting screwed, considering 75% of the costs still fall on those families making less than $120k a year. The thing is, this still...

I think the Duggars may have some good motives, but I am not a big fan. I do think it's good that they encourage people to be debt free, mothers to stay home with their children, and that they live their Christian witness in front of the cameras and try to reach others. I do wonder how much...

We do recognize more forms of marriage than traditional Biblical marriages though, although we pick and choices based on our prejudices and what has been common in society. We allow divorce for reasons other than adultery and recognized remarriage after that. We allow Christians to marry...

It's an amount off the closing costs, not the interest rate. Point work sort of like pre-paid, additional interest. You can pay more points for a lower interest rate over the life of the loan, and and it can come out cheaper in the long run than paying them for the whole length of the mortgage...

I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't know that I can support it, because of the changes it will make in domestic partnerships and other family situations. If it doesn't pass, nothing really changes, but if it does it will mean a lot of children and other people in those types of...

More people have the option to leave. A lot of people in the past put up with spouses who cheated, abused them, etc because they had no way to support themselves or didn't want to face social ostracism. Now, more women have education and job opportunities, divorce is not as stigmatized, and...

I looked at a preview and didn't download it because it did seem to be designed more for a tablet. I just got a new laptop for Christmas, which I love, but I'm going to be taking web design and graphic arts classes starting in fall so I guess the move to Apple/OS X is pretty inevitable now.

The church I attend now doesn't claim or affiliate with any denomination, but our beliefs are Baptist-based and the pastor grew up IFB (and is the son of an IFB preacher/evangelist).  Several of the people who attend come from stereotypical IFB backgrounds, but most of them were out of that...

Gas here is around 3.69 I drive a diesel Jeep, so it's 4.15, or around $75 a tank. The last time I actually filled it up all at once was Thanksgiving, because I was going home to visit my parents. This has really got me worried. I ended up dropping out of college when the gas prices went up...

The strong parts are that it's very easy to use, makes grocery lists, and things like that. It's also very popular, so there are many recipes and lots of whole cookbooks available online for free to add into it. There is also a way to copy recipes directly from Internet Explorer to the program...

If she doesn't mind online, there's a site called myrecipes.com that lets you do that for free. There are several software programs. I have used Mastercook, and I like it, but it's around $30.

What if you are a bum and that's all that you own? I know that would be an extreme case, but I do know people who don't own suits and mostly or only own jeans and t-shirts, in some cases all a little worn looking. I also know a few women that don't own any dresses or skirts. This is not the 50s...

I went to a friends church a few times as a teenager and they had a punk type band that would play at youth events. Mosh pits at church are weird, but they do happen. I'll admit to liking several Christian punk bands, and some Christian metal bands., although I agree that the band you posted...

I think it depends on the church and what the pastor and members prefer. My personal preference is more time preaching than singing, but I'm one of those people that watches preaching on Youtube while fixing dinner, so YMMV. Many people seem to be have little patience for long sermons, but...

I think it's a very good idea. Some people think they can spot a predator or thief, but you can't always. I worked as a prison guard for years. I met a lot of inmates who seemed like nice, normal people. It was shocking to see what some of them were doing time for, because I would never have...

If you don't think shunning or applauding the girl for graduating was the right course of action, what to you suggest. There are only so many ways to handle a high school pregnancy: 1. Force the girl to drop out of school, shun and shame her. 2. Hide her away with relatives or at a girl's home...

I like the hidden link idea better than having it out there on the main page, too. We touched on the idea of having a message board or community for members, similar to "The City" that some churches are adopting. I'm not big on the whole closed social network idea, but I think something that...
