noticed the last few additional comments haven't duplicated… crossing fingers… i run like another 20 plugins – most of them are fairly standard though – am i the only one with these duplications?

Hey lon, I'm testing too… odd my comments aren't duplicating… you did recently update to the latest super-cache plugin – not sure if that had to do with it. We've not updated anything, but just thought perhaps quote marks or something are jumpin' in and messin' with things.

Interesting article from the Toronto Star today (Thursday) from the 'liberal' side of children's sex ed, and healthy parenting.

http://www.parentcentral.ca/parent/newsfeatures/a…

Notable quotes: "hooking up is the microwaveable burrito of sex",
"book for parents and teachers… springboard for critical discussions.",
"opportunity to talk about (sexualality, especially the personal, emotional side",
"sex is not a one-size-fits-all format, choose carefully and be confident and proud… whether they do nothing or everything",
"even in easy-acces culture, teens aren't as sophisicated as adults may think. basic impulses, anxieties and risks are still the same"

Great point Chris – it's a weird balance between 'playing' the hero and just being a genuine human being. Meeker comes right out and says our daughters need a hero and not an equal – which is what I (and probably a lot of other guys in our culture these days) tend towards.

Maybe it's out of a longing for a better friendship with my folks growing up – but I can see how father's can abandon their unique rolls when we don't hold ourselves to being the fathers our daughters ought to have…

my girl asked me the other day if daddy ever cries – and i told her yes, when things hurt. I don't think she needs me to be an impervious pillar of strength – but we're probably suppose to play both hero and plain old frodo at the right times, and teach our daughters to do the same.
