Hi! I m due with baby #2 in July and am having a very difficult time finding names I like that aren t already taken in my family or friend group....

What are your suggestions if thia baby is a girl?

We like classic, older names. Her big sister s name is Margaret Elise.

Thanks!

We are having a very hard time coming up with boy names! Here's some that we've thought about.... what do you think?

Christopher Aiden

John Aiden

John Christopher Aiden

Lucas Aiden

John Lucas

We also like Vincent, Ian, Titus, Benjamin.... but have no idea about middle names.

John is both of our granddad's names so it would be cool to use but doesn't have to be.

Which (if any) of these names do you like and middle name combos would you use?

Thanks!

Here are the names we're thinking about if this baby is a girl. Thoughts?

Margaret Elizabeth

Margaret Elise

Katherine Elise

Last name is Krampf (German name pronounced like Cramp but with an f added to the end. One syllable.)

What combos would you make with these names? I know there aren't a lot of names here.... Please suggest more! As many combos as you'd like. Thanks!!

Boys: Alexander, Aiden, Anthony, Andrew, Benjamin, Christopher, David, Daniel, Elijah, Jacob, Jaxon, John, James, Joshua, Lucas, Luke, Levi, Michael, Micah, Nicholas, Samuel, Thomas, Theodore, Vincent

Girls: Anne, Anna, Alaina, Brooklyn, Carolyn, Cora, Evelyn, Eleanor, Elise, Elizabeth, Grace, Hannah, Katherine, Leah, Laura, Mary, Marie, Maria, Madeline, Madelyn, Margaret, Sarah

I'm in the process of finding a new ob/gyn (recently moved). I'm wondering.... how far away is too far away when traveling for an ob/gyn? I'd like to go to the one my sister went to in another town, but it is a longish drive. I wouldn't mind the drive for regular visits, but it might be too far if I'm going into labor or need the doc asap. Thoughts?

My husband and I are getting ready to have a baby. What things should I do to be physically ready to have a child? Foods to eat/not eat, best weight or bmi to be at pre baby, anything like that.

In the past decade, there's been a lot of discussion about people putting the 10 Commandments in government buildings. I understand there are some arguments about separation of church and state.

My question:

Would you be offended by a historical monument showing the laws/thoughts from different religions and cultures that were brought into our laws? If it showed more than just Jewish & Christian views? Would you be offended it if had specific quotes from the Torah, Koran, Bible & other religious documents?

Our last name is Krampf (said like Cramp but with an f on the end... it's German)

Some of my favorite baby names begin with K's and C's. Would this be too much??

Examples:

Katherine

Christopher

I plan on giving them easy middle names that don't start with C/K so if they don't like it they can go by their middles.... but I love those two names!

My husband has a new job and we're getting to move back home. Now I have to quit my job.

I have my 2 weeks notice all typed out and ready to give to my boss.

Am I supposed to deliver it to him and hang around? Mail it? Just put it in his work mailbox?

Anyway I think about it, it's going to be extremely awkward.

I have major pain while doing any yoga poses with my hands on the floor and my wrists bent (downward dog is a tough one).

1. Is this normal?

2. Is there a technique that I could try to help this not hurt so bad...or maybe I'm doing something wrong?

3. I am overweight... do I just need to put these particular yoga poses on hold until I've lost some pounds?

Thanks

I'm buying the Supreme 90 Day Workout System and was wondering,

1. What equipment do you need? Free weights... exercise ball... etc

2. From anyone who has tried it, is there a lot of jumping exercises in the cardio dvd?

Where can one find the optimal amounts of carbs, proteins and other things for a healthy diet based on age, sex, etc?

Is there a formula or chart that shows different ways to alter these amounts to aid in losing or gaining weight?

I mean this to be more of a thought provoking question on how Christians define "a good Christian", not making fun of Jesus at all.

Matthew 21/Mark11 He overturned tables inside the temple and kicked people out of the building.

He frequently told church leaders what they were doing wrong. (woe to you scribes and pharisees...etc)

This whole "Jesus meek and mild" girly man ideal that people throw out there is just ridiculous. Where do people get the idea that Jesus was a wuss?

I'm not sure how to handle a particular situation involving step parents at my upcoming wedding.

I'm planning on giving a special something to the grooms mom & my mom, but I'm not sure what to do with my step-mom. She's not really been a mother figure to me... she and my dad married when I had already left the house and honestly I don't know her that well... but I don't want to leave her out... but I don't want our mothers to feel like I'm raising her up to their level either... It's kinda awkward.

Thoughts??

I am beginning a list of baby names that I like. What would you suggest with my tastes?

First Name: longer, classic name, classic spelling, easy to spell & say (our last name is crazy, so we want the first name to be easy)

Middle Name: shorter, more trendy or unique, not misspelled

Please give boy and girl suggestions! Last name is very German and begins with a hard Kr sound.

So I'm thinking about doing a candy table at my wedding. The colors are blue and white...

Can you think of some good candies to go on the table?

Here's what I've thought of...

Sixlets

Blue Rasberry Rock Candy

Jolly Ranchers

Hello!

I'm trying to find some blue shoes to wear for my wedding. I'm trying to find some similar to a Royal Blue or David's Bridal's Horizon Blue.

I'd like some shorter heals or flats. I don't want to be taller than my groom.

Also, no peep toes... I just don't like those.

Anyone have any suggestions? I've searched through about all the google images I can handle.

I know what I believe on this matter, I'm just curious to see how other church groups handle it.

What does your church teach about the sinfulness of alcohol? I know what the verses say. I know people have differing opinions, and for the purposes of this question, I'm not too worried about those things. I just want to know what the churches are teaching/preaching.

What I've come across is:

a) Drinking any alcohol at all is a sin

b) You can drink alcohol, but getting drunk is a sin

c) Supporting a place that sells alcohol is sinful (ie restaurants, stores, etc)

d) Drinking alcohol in any amount is ok

e) As long as you stay within the limits of the city/states law, you are not in sin

What does your church teach?

Dear Fellow Christians,

As I go through R&S and see some of the questions/answers, I see a lot of us trying to convince non believers through faith and the Bible. Not to say using these are wrong, but can you not see that your faith and the Bible are not proof to them at all.

How about using other methods, data, information, reasons, etc in your answers along with your faith and Bible verses?

I'm just not understanding what's so hard about that. I mean if they ask for verses, go for it! But when they are asking "why do you believe in God", "how do you know God is real", etc... just saying because the Bible says so isn't going to cut it.

Just a thought.
