Home Economics 101

Welcome to the Home Ec Section. Matters of the family sometimes bring joy and other times bring grief. But it is never trivial: Family matters! Feel free to discuss topics such as the sanctity of marriage; the awesome responsibility of raising children; the struggles of communication problems; the grief of losing a loved one; or anything else that relates to the home and family. However, due to the more personal nature of this section, I ask that you would be especially thoughtful of the readers' feelings. My earnest hope and prayer is that the discussions in this section will help families grow in the love of Christ.

But remember, always play by the rules: here
See more
See less

Up on the roof!

    Apart from being a little more aggressive and a bit less cautious than pigeons, seagulls don't behave a lot differently. Come to think of it, with most birds, babies around three months old have a few parallels with human toddlers.

    Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

    If Palm Sunday really was a Sunday, Christ was crucified on a Thursday (which could be adduced from the gospels anyway).

        Curious about everything, get into everything, love making noise. The place where I live has an atrium that amplifies sound. Crested pigeons have alarm feathers that whistle if an adult bird sets them, but babies seem to have them permanently set. A baby crested pigeon flew into the atrium, the sound was amplified and it fled for cover. Half an hour later it flew back in and started to flee, darted back in and out a few times, and then flew around in circles in the atrium for nearly an hour. Crested pigeons also have a set of calls (the basic call is "woot" so that's what I called the first one that I interacted with) that have meaning. I learnt to speak 5 words.

        Woot and her mate Slugger - he'd wing slap anyone that annoyed him, including me.

        Slugger and the motorbike - he'd walk past a mirror without a second glance, but the chrome on the motorbike would trap him every time.
