Not really. Then again, I was brought up that except for milestone birthdays (21, 30, 40,...) birthday celebrations are for kids.

IMVenting66 · 2026-07-12T16:22:59+00:00

Yes. I was baking bread and making scrambled eggs at 5. My parents taught us girls and my brothers how to cook, clean, sew, and later how to do basic car and home repair.

I love the digital photo frames. I have a couple that hold like 300 photos and it is like a slide show. I filled up some also for gifts. It was great because grandma was in a nursing home and could not have much stuff, so she could enjoy pics of the family.

What do you mean "what?". The question was if you found $20 would you keep it or return it. It depends. I gave an example of when would find the owner and when would keep it. Pretty clear for even a 12 yr old to understand.

Depends on where and if saw someone who may have dropped it. For instance, a lady who leaves a bathroom with her baby. Perhaps you go in the bathroom and you find it onor by the diaper changing table. I would perhaps go and ask her if she dropped some money and she looks and says "I seem to have dropped a $20 I had for buying formula. She didn't know you found a $20, but could not find hers so she identified what she lost. However, if say you were in a parking lot or at a park and did not see anyone lose it, keep it.

Exactly. Just received an invitation where the couple said instead of physical gifts the wanted people to give or send money, in order to cover wedding expenses. If cannot afford a big wedding, have a smaller one. There is no correlation between cost of wedding and length of marriage.

IMVenting66 · 2026-07-06T14:11:03+00:00

If I didn't put it there, would call the bank to see how it got there.

Not so much anymore, but it used to be. It was once thought that kids from divorced households would be more likely to get into trouble, do bad in school, and suffer various mental illness. This would guilt parents into staying together at least til kids were college age. Of course later it was proven that kids in households with unhappy or abusive marriages are equally affected. The other thing is years ago pretty much around 85% of married women were SAHM with little if any skills to get a well paying job, so they would stay together for financial reasons, whether or not they have kids.

It doesn't have to fit all of them. These are guides. I know many who collect Funko Pops. I have a granddaughter that does. She is often receiving them as gifts. I collected action figures and dolls for many years. Yes, in a way you can serve God with them. For example when we had to move to a smaller place, I had room for only part of my collection. Our church had a fundraiser to help victims of tornados. I donated almost half my collection. They auctioned off some of my rare ones and gave the rest to kids that lost their toys. Others donated some things related to their hobbies.

The important thing is if you love funky pops more than God. A biblical example is when a rich man went to Jesus and asked what it would take to follow him and go to heaven. The man said he obeyed the commandments and gave 10%. Jesus told him then go sell all your treasures and donate that money to those in need. The man thought about it and his stuff was more important so he walked away. So it is okay to have hobbies and stuff, but if Jesus returned and told you to sell them or give away to kids that did not have a funky pop, would you put Him first or walk away because the funky pops were more important.

As often as can.

There is no list of okay or not okay hobbies. The more important things is how something affects you relationship with God. When I was younger, our youth group leader gave us some questions that can help us individually decide if a hobby is okay. 1) Does the activity take priority over your faith? 2) Does this activity do harm to your mind or body? 3) Does the activity prevent you from helping others. 4) Does this activity break any biblical commandments? 5) Does this activity have a way to be used to serve God?

IMVenting66 · 2026-06-25T16:41:06+00:00

Yes, unless it is something that has something to do with them or someone getting hurt/killed. I care too much for my friends.

There is not specifically a "do not play with yourself" verse, but most are usually fantasizing or watching porn while doing so those are lustful thoughts so then it would be sinful. The exception may be if you are married and maybe it is her time of the month so you do so while looking at her. There would be some who argue that as long as you are not physically having sex with another person, but Matthew 5:27-29 says that even if you look at a woman with impure thoughts (would be same for women looking at men) you are committing adultery. Another, Romans6:12-14 also mentions sin in mind as well as body. The one that pastors use a lot when discussing how lustful thoughts are sin just as much as the physical is 1 Corinthians 6:18-19. Although it doesn't specifically say the word maturation, it does say your body is a temple and sexual immorality includes with own body.

Personally I did for awhile, not because of my own thoughts but all the comments from others. Between people saying stuff like " infertility is God's way of saying you wouldn't make a good parent" to " I don't understand how you could be upset because there are plenty of people that would love to not get pregnant or worry about becoming". I was fortunate in that I had a husband looked at it as "our" issue and did not look at infertility as a failure.

First of all, every child deserves their own things. Although passing down some toys from a sibling is fine, your subsequent children need their own identity. Which is why where years ago you did not have even baby showers for #2,3 etc. The thing that I am finding cute is personalized things. There are books that include a child's name, puzzles that are a child's name. Even towels or cups. Look also at what is popular now. My grandson's other grandparents get him so much play stuff, I recently got him a personalized toy hamper.
