nvusuvu··on Alienated, Alone and Angry: What the Digital Revolution Did?
Absolutely, yes. Our church collects tithes and offerings. Tithes funnel to the head of the church and there is a council that sees to their disposition. Offerings are collected monthly and stay in the local congregation for the immediate relief of members of our Church and members of our community regardless of religious affiliation. If any offerings remain, they funnel up to regional administrators. The beauty of this system is that I can give charitably and not know who is getting the benefit. I don't have to judge whether or not my offerings is getting maximum benefit because that responsibility is on the local church leader. (who is using prayer and discernment to maximum effect)

Also, my church has food distribution channels and warehouses so nobody is going hungry.

Even if it damaged/killed a small percentage of healthy cells, as long as it kills a much higher percentage of CTCs, hook me up. Good cells are replenished. So are the bad ones. Its an arms race!

Key take away:

By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation.

nvusuvu··on After men in Spain got paternity leave, they wanted fewer kids
I feel ya. I have 5 kids. I love them all, but there is only so much time in a day. I believe the key to make the effort to have one-on-one time, be there when they really need you, and support their growth/development with active planning. I also believe strongly in the term 'benign neglect'. It's not my job to keep them entertained every waking minute. They need to explore, be bored, use their imaginations, read books, etc. We have nightly scripture study, weekly in-house movie night with pizza and/or popcorn, a monthly go-out-to-eat dinner (with lessons in manners constantly reiterated) , and an annual trip to the beach. Life is good!

nvusuvu··on Way to Spend Bad Days
before dozing after 1 AM

Not to be overly dismissive, but sounds like the guy needs better sleep habits. My mood is weakened by one day of bad sleep, but oh my, if I get two bad sleep nights in a row, my mood is atrocious.

nvusuvu··on Present Timing for Kids (2018)
One thing my in-laws do. A gift a day starting on Christmas and extending to New Years Eve. Grandkids don't get the present fatigue of all in one day and you can extend Christmas shopping into the next week when items get marked down for clearance. Makes Christmas time longer. There are downsides and I think my kids are getting too much stuff, but that's what we do.
