Not dumb. (sorry I couldn't resist)

I don't have an issue with charging a high school teen as an adult.  By 15 they should know right from wrong especially where murder is concerned.  For the younger ones I believe they should continue to be treated as a child in child courts.  However, I think any child that has killed someone should have that on the books for life. (currently when the kid turns 18 the court seals the charges).

WoW! Yippy! Hurray! Congrats

Sting Rays are sea creatures.  They swim in salt water or briney water and eat.  You can look them up on the internet by putting sting rays in your search engine (google, bing, yahoo-etc) and then choosing a site that details these lovely creatures.

You needn't drink any wine but if you do choose to drink a "normal amount" would be 1 glass at dinner.

When unwanted thoughts or feelings begin immediately start listing all of the blessings in your life.  Your family, friends, co-workers, home, clean running water, electricity, disposal of waste water. your vehicle, furniture, food....the list goes on.  When you start to realize that your life is filled with blessings -even those we may take for granted (like being healthy) you will be filled with gratitude instead of a negative thought and feeling.

I have actually seen quite a few of the movies this year.  I will be dressed while I watch the tube.

I might have to "self medicate" with 8 kids the same age in my home.

I make new discoveries about myself daily.  I'm on this Earth to learn.  Ihope I never stop learning.

You are correct there is no perfect person.  No one has a perfect family, friends or job.  People who realize this stop trying to achieve perfection in every area of their life.  By expecting imperfection they are less likely to get upset when things go awry.
