Ask me weekend 1

You know what bugs me? The misuse of the word "literally". People just throw it around. " I literally ate until my stomach exploded." and so forth. No, that would be figuratively or something. Literal is, well, literal.

But enough with the complaining, right? I'm getting on my own nerves. So here's what I'm thinking. I should start an advice column. I know! It's so obvious! Shoulda done it ages ago.

Not real advice, mind you.

Here's how it should go. On Fridays, you submit your interesting and/or funny questions. Etiquette, advice (cooking,pop culture, parenting, you name it) questions and so on. Monday's blog will have the answers.

That's right. In a span of three days, I should literally be able to make up an answer that amuses me.

So get busy! This will not be interesting unless you submit questions. Only lame. C'mon, do it for the children.

  26. Is it okay to not sweep up the floor under a highchair after every food-flying fun session??
    Well, I'll answer this one..
    Yes!
    Life's too busy to be holding a broom so much..

    I might get titled the broom lady.

    Although some around here call me a mop lady!

    Only because I've been going to MOPS group, which has been so helpful for time talking with other ladies/moms.. & getting great direction on love & helpful tips. Today was my last day for the year. I am planning to go to some of the summer play dates though!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Is it okay to be totally in awe of your child when they keep clapping over & over at MOPS while the leaders are giving away gifts (Oprah favorite's style) while everyone is repeatedly clapping.

    Keith: clap clap clap grin clap clap
    Shannon: adoring smile while looking down at cute boy on her lap.. thinks 'you're the reason I'm here.. wow, I have a son.. he's reclining content on MY lap, clapping! he's so adorable & sweet."

    ReplyDelete
  28. Do many moms occasionally bop their child's head on the inside of the car roof while pulling the child from the car seat??

    Ya
    I do
    oops, sorry again, Keith.

    Today when I did it, I said sweetly/jokingly, "How many times have I done that to you?" then "Ohh, you're not keeping count." & thought of children's heart of easily forgiving, not keeping a record of wrongs.. wow, I need to do that.. God's reminding me. I automatically thought, oh it's a natural thing to want to keep count.. yet oh.. we shouldn't be. I've been keeping a record sometimes.. eww, don't want that anymore, so unpleasant & unpeaceful. I'd rather be loving. Wow, I'll need God on this one.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Should I update my pic of a more recent one of Keith?

  31. a serious one:

    Why do you think that God required blood/death to pay the remission of sins?

    first with animals
    then our Saviour, once for all

    this has been something I've wondered. something we'll never understand? just because sin is serious? why not just give grace?

  36. QUESTION:

    If you're (pretend it's me) walking on a road in the mountainous woods...let's say...Colorado Rockies, and two bears are coming toward you from your left at an increased rate of speed. On your right is a potentially frightened skunk. Directly in front of you is a rattle snake, and behind you is a cliff with unknown bottom. What advice would you give me for that moment? ...Cuz you never know when that might happen.

    ReplyDelete
  37. i would like to answer angie's question -- and i would like to still hear jess' answer.

    i say you have to options:

    #1: drop to your knees exactly where you are and pray.

    #2: pray while you run northeast--between the snake and the skunk but away from the bears; perhaps the skunk and the snake will assault the bears with their respective weapons, and you'll be home free. and if not, #1 might still be a possibility.

  44. Dear Jessica,
    My little brother took my pet cricket and feed it to his pet iguana. Now I want to take his pet iguana and feed it to my pet boa constrictor. If I do this, he may take my pet boa and feed it to his pet 12 foot alligator. Should I feed his pet iguana to my pet boa?

    Sincerely,

    Reptile in the Republic

  46. Let's say that one's parents raised their child telling them that they ("one") were raised by the monkeys. Then, as an adult, one starts growing hair on one's knuckles. Should one believe that their parents were, in fact, telling the truth all those years, and not just trying to make their sweet child cry and feel adopted?

    And, if so, should one then return to the monkey home they ("one") were apparently raised in? ...Even though there was no memory of said monkey raising.

  50. Procrastination is a habit you develop to cope with anxiety about starting or completing a task. It is your attempted solution to cope with tasks that are boring or overwhelming.
