    • Your love for your Dad shows, immensely reading through this blog

    • My dad passed away several years ago..While reading the post i am teary eyes..I missed my dad i love him so much i didnt even take care of him when he get sick..My sister told me that my father is keep on asking when i will visit home..yes I came home but he died already i didnt even say i love him so much…So for those parents who is still alive always say i love you to them while they are still alive

    • It’s good to rant sometimes but when it regards parents it’s better we be thankful for having them around so don’t call it ranting. Anyway am just wondering how your parents ar3 dealing with yheir ailments without someone being there with them. Sometimes its so hard for them but they would rayher be quiet to avoid feeling like they are a burden to other people. You know when a parent is not well they would rayher suffer silently and not say anything. The best thing is to have someone there with them at least once in a while just to be sure that all is well. Phone calls may work once in a while but how long would it go for? They will get tired of it and decide that they don’t even need any kind of help but that’s not the truth they are probably just giving up and feeling neglected. When they are at that are group that can be very agaitated with small petty things.just take some time out and spend some time with them will make a lot of difference.

    • grown up men are children in the hearts of dad and mom because they have saved their babyhood prints on their mind screen that reminds them the children’s childhood. Children and parents relationship are very strong because children are their production and day and night labor.

      The warmth that parents bring to their children’s lives starts at infancy. Moms and dads of young children shower their kids with baby-talk and physical touch. These behaviors show the child that others are sensitive of their needs and that parents can be relied on for emotional responsiveness.

      As a child grows older, he finds warmth in the parent-child relationship in other ways, specifically in receiving the fulfillment of his emotional needs, whether they be play or intimate conversation. Warmth in parenting can lead to a cooperative child, who is well-developed socially and emotionally.

      Father-child interaction tends to be more intense, and through their shared activities children learn how to express and control their emotions with their fathers. By working together, mothers and fathers help their children develop their skills across the spectrum.

    • I do not eat fish, but this was a good post with some great tips on how to make it yummy and keep the oil in its place.

    • I see those fish in the frying pan intact. We clean the fish. But this gives me an idea. How does fish taste if it is not cleaned

      Thanks for the tips.

    • It is unique recipe for the LB readers if not but for me a new method of frying fish Purchase white fish fillets that are at least 1 inch thick, preferably cod or haddock, though pollock, red snapper and orange roughy can also be used. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, if frozen. Cut each fillet into four equal pieces.

      Put flour in a pie plate or shallow bowl, planning on approximately one-quarter cup for every pound of fish you will be oven-frying. Season with salt and pepper.

      Bake for 18 to 25 minutes, or until the breading is golden brown and the inside of the thickest fillet is opaque and registers 140 degrees Fahrenheit with a cooking thermometer.

      Remove fillets with a spatula and serve immediately. If you’re concerned about your cholesterol level, use only egg whites when you prepare the egg coating for the fish fillets, discarding the yolks.

    @peachpurple, hat’s why this is a challenge!! lol  I find that even though there are certain categories I know nothing on, I do some research and maybe I do know something about it.  That’s why a lot of times we stay in our “comfort” zones in writing we just write about what we know.

    I would say that if we write one article on every category, it will bring in lots of different external traffic to LB.

    JoDee Stout wrote a new post, Giving Second Chances 8 years, 5 months ago

    Do you easily give someone/something a second chance?  I believe in giving a person/something the benefit of the doubt, so I certainly give second chances!!  You maybe wondering why I say “something”, in those c […]

    • Before giving second chance we should know the thing or the person deserve the second chance or not.

    • I am always doing this to my students. I always give them the second chance to pass. i have to consider the plea for Physics and math subjects that I am teaching are not easy for them to understand. Only few are gifted with the ability to like and understand easily Physics and Algebra ( Mathematics).

    • This is not easy to give second chance to a person specially when the matter is come to love relationship, because the whole love relationship is based on faith and believes. so in my view this is totally not possible to give a Second chance .

    • I guess it is a case-to-case basis and second chances are given to people/things that didn’t cause too much trauma in our lives. I also believe in the “benefit of the doubt” but there are instances when the pain caused is too overbearing, giving second chances is out of the table.

    • @JoDee Stout

      Very interesting blog

      I too have noticed a second chance performs better no matter what it could be. We learn from mistakes.

    • it is beneficial to give another person or site a 2nd chance to allow them to improve themselves and it is also giving yourself a 2nd chance to reborn again.

      Good to hear that you had remarried your ex hubby.
      Still, you two have a long way ahead to enjoy your old age together

    • It is easy to give second chance specially to the person you love..but third chance NEVER?

    • Yes, three chances must be given to everyone if someone makes anything wrong with you. Because all wise men require just one chance no second and third chance in life. Foolish retiree a lot of chances in life because making something wrong is their mission and it is the fault of character and early education.

      I say it is fault of parents who do not teach their children what to at home and out of home and what to do with others. They take life as a bundle of lies and do wrong and earn money and other benefits in life.

      Sometimes people screw up. As imperfect beings charged with the power to manipulate, lie, cheat and steal and the emotional sophistication to feel jealousy, heartbreak and outrage, this is to be expected. And so we sometimes find it in our hearts to empathize with the offender and forgive or love them and forget.

      We award second chances and some of us are filled with so much empathy or love that we give third and fourth chances. Still other times we do not and the offender must lay down in the bed he made.

      The offender hoping for a second chance is usually tearful and offers remorse and promises to change. They arrive with pleading parents, distraught letters from children or character references from community leaders. Our job is to weed through their emotions and ignore our own in order to come to some objective version of the past and present to foretell the likelihood of a more positive future.
