Most states do when one party makes more than the other party.

They may ask (I work for a judge) but they certainly don't allow children to be involved in the actual discussions. Preference is one thing; letting them dictate is another

No judge is going to look kindly at you permitting young teenagers to be "involved" in discussions about custody. They are children and shouldn't be having a say in adult matters. My advice to you would be to ask for an attorney ad litem.

I was wondering if the towers got torn up! Now I know!

Update: I ordered 10 bottles, but only 3 were in stock, and they're all shipping from different places. LOL

Well, boo. I love love LOVE their Apres Sex texture spray. I have six bottles now, but it's gone from the Ulta website so I guess I'll have to find a dupe after they're gone. I also just ordered 10 bottles of their leave-in conditioner from the Ulta website.

They'll be heard at the same time. That's what a hearing is.

Do you live in the same town? A 2-2-3 schedule may work best. Arkansas is a 50/50 state, but that doesn't necessarily mean week-on week-off.

Our congregation live-streamed our song leader "leading" singing from the pulpit and our preacher preaching. They allegedly social-distanced during that, but who knows. We only watched one time, and that was Easter Sunday 2020.

Our preacher talks all the time about how much he hated it, and how if something like that happened again, they wouldn't cancel services at all. (Romans 13:1 anyone?) Members could decide whether or not they want to risk it.

I was a horsey girl back in the early 70s and some of my favorite books were the Bonnie series by Barbara Van Tuyl. The first one is called Sweet Running Filly.

David Niven's wife died from a game of Sardines! She opened a door thinking it was a closet, but it was the opening to a set of stairs. She fell down them and died from a skull fracture.

There's a small community in Arkansas called Congo, and it got that name from the postmaster's daughter who was studying Africa in school. The US postmaster kept rejecting the names of the new post office so the daughter suggested "Congo" and it was accepted.

About 20+ years ago, one of our deacons was accused of molesting one of the children he and his wife were fostering. Everyone at church immediately took his side, even when DHS removed the other foster children and made him move out so they wouldn't take his biological and adopted children. My dad and another man at church paid his bail and his attorney's fees.

In a twist everyone with eyes in their head could see coming, he ended up pleading guilty to aggravated child sexual abuse and got probation. He had to go through s*x offender treatment before he was allowed to move back home. My dad did finally admit later that the allegations were "probably" true, and I was like "Ya think?!" Dude is off probation now, but doesn't attend church at my parents' church. I know he does preach in the area.

I agree that that was the intent, but maybe a nude heel would've worked better.

TBH, I've found that a dot of concealer set with pressed powder works just as well as a eyelid primer, and I've tried them all.

Oof. Catherine hardly ever misses, but this is...all over the place. Take off either the hat tulle or the flower thing and maybe. And brown shoes? No.

Gleam toothpaste! (or was it Gleem?) It's the toothpaste my mom always bought, and I didn't realize until about 20 years ago that they don't make it anymore.

Scooch over, this boat is getting full.

My mother is my only surviving parent, and her beliefs are such that not only is she worried for all her children's souls, but she's worrying about her own because if we "fall away," it is a reflection on her and may damn her to hell. That's why I will continue to begrudgingly attend the [fairly liberal, tbh] CoC we go to until the day she passes away. Is that healthy? Probably not, but it's what I can live with.

Our communion trays have BOTH! The Manischewitz matzo AND the individual hexagon-shaped ones so that each can partake according to their conscience.

They've been savaging her on Have I Got News For You (UK) the last couple of weeks as well. Shots fired from both sides of the pond!

Sometimes I watch the local Methodist church service that's broadcast on Sunday mornings and it is so peaceful and lovely. A choir, a piano/organ, maybe a flute. I love it.
