| *waves* Just to note. . .that never made it into the actual "Rulez". It was more of a "gentleperson's agreement" than a rule . . . It was decided that the frustration and strife wasn't worth the debate. Those who were around agreed to it, but it was waaaaaay before you came here,... |

| If the question is whether the 10 Commandments have any bearing on our current legal system, by and large I'd say yes. If you're asking whether they've been used as a political 2x4, I'd say yes as well. That's exactly why I'm not touching this one. As much as I'd like to help someone out, this topi... |

I just finished re-reading The Secret Garden, by Frances Burnett. I had forgotten how wonderful that book is! I last read it when I was about the same age as the MC (9 or 10).
Also slowly working through Just So Stories, by Rudyard Kipling, with my older sons. Such fun!! |
