Well,the Benghazi hearings are under way as I begin this.FNC & CNN are the only networks covering it.Don’t look for any of the media bodyguards to mention it this evening.We will hear shocking,credible testimony from actual witnesses of the cowardice and duplicity of those responsible for the death of four Americans.This will,of course be completely ignored by the LSM,as were Fast and Furious and the Butcher Gosnell.They must stop at nothing to protect their man-child and the first woman-president-in-waiting.
Speaking of which,the jury is in their sixth day of deliberation.The knot in the pit of my stomach tells me there is an Obama-worshipper holding out to hang the jury on the most serious of the hundreds felonies he’s charged with.We’ve seen worse.
Mark Sanford upset the dems’ dreams of a 2014 blowout by crushing their lame candidate by 9 points.If nothing else,he knows the voters in his old district and he knows retail politics.

This story rips my heart out. I have 3 daughters.
When they were in middle-junior-senior high, two classmates … girls who went to our church and waited on us in local stores … disappeared. They were later found dead and in pieces, spread across the local woodland. The neighbor who took them committed suicide while in custody. His wife and young son moved away.
I know what this tragedy did to our community and how fearful it made parents of teen girls. And that was with a quick and clear ending. My mind just numbs at the idea of these 3 girls, what they and their loved ones went through, what they face now trying to recover some kind of normalcy.
I’m also struck by the little girl who was fathered by a monster, yet is so clearly loved by her mom. It makes me even more convinced that the supposedly “compassionate” rape/incest exception so many otherwise pro-life people support is just wrong.

This is something that really burns me.
Junior colleges offer a great education. Working through college means you can leave with very little debt. State schools cost a fraction of what elite schools cost. I know I did it. And I resent those who think they are entitled to whatever school they want to attend, at whatever price and WE should pay.
If that girl wants to be a “grant writer” maybe she should have considered going to a school that would not put her 90k in debt.

My eldest took out a student loan to go to a private school in Chicago, but she dropped out after a couple of years because things weren’t working out. Later she tried a community college, and found out to her surprise that the professors there were better than the ones she’d had at the pricey private school. Too bad she didn’t find that out earlier.

Community colleges have all around better education, because teaching is prized above star power and publication. It’s also a really good deal for undecided high school grads, because they can get an inexpensive post-h.s. degree in only 2 years and find out more about themselves and what they want.
If they decide to go for a Bachelors, they can transfer to a tonier school. The Bachelor diploma just says “This person graduated from here” not how long they attended or … as my brother once pointed out, where in the class their GPA stood. (Methinks his was nothing to brag on, but that’s just a guess based on the self-admitted fact that he only went to the library once in all four years.)

I know next to nothing about how to go about choosing a college. I never had any choice in the matter myself — if I wanted my parents to cough up the money, I had to go to the school they chose, and my dad was bound and determined that all of us were going to go to the same college he and my mother went to. It was not a good fit for me at all, and I would have been much better off somewhere else… but if I’d gone anywhere else, I would have had to pay for it myself. I wasn’t all that keen on college anyway (I hated school), and the idea of taking on ruinous debt to do something I wasn’t thrilled about doing was just too repulsive to contemplate.

That is one of the secrets of Community colleges. They often have great teachers, and facilities. I took an Anatomy and Phys class at my CC and loved the teacher, who was doctor. Most of my fellow students were pre med or nursing and we even had cadavers and field trips to the city to visit museums. I had to take part of the class over when I transferred because they would not give me credit for both, so I retook anatomy for an easy A. But the teacher at the university was terrible, and only went by the book. How boring.
The best teachers I had in college were at my CC. Most were there because they loved to teach, and it was evident in their passion for their subject. Plus, I was able to transfer with junior status, even though I had only been in CC for a year and a half (lots of extra classes since there were no social distractions). I finished college in under four years, debt free, and not a penny from my parents. (I did get some scholarship money, but not much).

My daughter said the same thing about community college as you and Chrissy — the teachers were there because they loved to teach, not for the snob appeal of teaching at an elite school. As a bonus, she is able to attend classes there for free. Her income, while enough to live on, is low enough to qualify her for a tuition waiver (and she’s past the age where her parents’ income is a factor).
I’m impressed that you worked your way through and graduated debt-free! The only reason I graduated debt-free is that my parents paid my tuition. Unfortunately, I had to live at home, which was miserable, thanks to a problematic relationship with my father (in whose estimation I was just never good enough) and also to the presence of my high-school-dropout, drug-addicted, drug-dealing younger brother, who went out of his way to make everyone’s lives difficult. (Need I add that he was my father’s favorite?)
In college I had a few good professors, two truly outstanding ones, a number of mediocre ones, and a few truly awful ones. I graduated in 3.5 years because I was under constant pressure from my father to get in and out as quickly as possible (since tuition increased every year, the faster I got my degree, the less money it would cost him). When I finally finished and knew I would never have to look at the inside of a classroom again, it felt like being released from prison.

I have talked about this with several men. They all had the same take. If there was a female around, they didn’t hear the baby. If they were the responsible adult on duty, they did. I think it’s the way men’s brains are wired.
They’re much better than women at focusing on one thing and blocking out everything else; women are much better than men at multi-tasking and noticing what needs doing. If you think of it in terms of hunting and gathering, it all makes sense.

What I wish I’d done was quietly take the cart somewhere nearby, but out of sight and wait for him to come back and panic. Someone did that to me when I left the car running while I ran back inside quick to get something. I only had one key and didn’t turn the car off to lock the door. A neighbor moved the car to teach me a lesson. Boy howdy did it ever.

What you asked about how anyone parents without firm faith is funny! I know a few who do, and they are even bigger messes than we are. They are basket cases, because they worry about EVERYTHING. Most of the rest of the non-parents we know are that way because they are too scared to risk it because they don’t have the faith for it, and it’s no wonder they get scared off. Childbirth is not for sissies. I’m no woman, but I know that giving birth has to be terrifying if you don’t have some faith. It could kill you! And nothing the doctor tells you can reassure you if you don’t believe. And raising the kids. Oy!! 🙂
