Hey all...
Did you have rules about resturants and babies? Or did you just take them everywhere?
Dh and I went to a VERY pricy resturant as a treat for ourselves a couple of weekends ago. All dressed up and having cocktails. Anyway, right next to us is a party with an 8 month old whining in a high chair. Mind you, our reservations were for 8 pm and they sat after we did.
This is incredibly rude, imo, for many reasons.
First of all, most 8 month olds are done by 8 o'clock. Secondly, there are just some resturants that are not meant for babies... a $75 dollar-a-plate resturant being one of them, imo. I do think that older

Because I honestly do not think God operates that way. Besides, what exactly are you trying to prove by denying yourself a pair of shoes (hypothetical) in order to give someone else a pair-when you have already said you go out of your way to give to others as it is? Sounds like hair shirt syndrome to me. Perhaps you should be asking yourself just why you feel so guilty about spending your hard earned money on yourself once in awhile??? Do you think you wont *get it* to heaven if you dont give enough to the needy??? I really do not understand your line of thinking.

But she IS opening her hand already. What, she should move into a cardboard box and let the local homeless person have her house????? She has already said she gives quite a bit.

Huh? I was using your terminology of "splurge." You said you do have some splurges, but even those you have mixed feelings/bordering on guilt about. Then - don't know if it's in the Bible - but I think you should splurge and be done with it.
I'm not a literalist by any means. I think of what a merciful God might want. I just think, since you say you naturally have some "splurges," you shouldn't feel conflicted. Why does it conform to Christ's teachings that, if you have your splurges, you feel unhappy about them?
To quote my nearly 14 yo daughter. . ."AS IF. . ."
As if I wanted your $$ if I needed it. . .
As if I even need it. . .
Who the HELL do you think YOU are to assume that those who splurge in ways YOU wouldn't do so at their financial peril?
Hey!! Can it be shortened?? I have a DD who will be making her First Communion in April and I might buy it from you. (I feel the same way about dresses like that. But they make great costumes!)
I wore a white full length dress with a green satin ribbon in my brothers wedding in 1977. My neice wore the same dress with a pink ribbon instead of green. It was tea length on her....she's tall. Two months later she wore the same dress in my wedding with a blue ribbon belt. How's THAT for recycling?
I wonder if it will fit my DD now??
My wedding dress was bought at a consignment store for $30.00. It was white and tea length. The Good Will by my house has had some GREAT wedding dressesl lately. All with price tags still on them. I keep thinking I'd buy them and sell them on e-bay at a profit.
Our DSL alone sure isn't that much. . .heck. . .if you combine our Dish network (which is less expensive than local cable), land lines, long distance, AND DSL it doesn't come to that amount.
