My birthday is December 15. If you have been following the show (!), you know that every year I ask a birthday question. Here is this year's question.

Have I ever taught you anything? Or, to put it another way, is there anything you have learned from me? It doesn't have to be a specific skill.

A sub-question: Is there anything you are good at ( Read more... )

Today is my birthday. As you know, I like to ask a question every year. So, without further ado:

Tell me something -- a story about how we met, something you've learned, an inspiration, as personal as you like -- that will keep my spirits high, and sustain me.

For this has been a hard year, and 2013 is not going to be any easier.

And thanks.

As I do most years, I celebrate Father's Day by asking you here for a story about your father -- good, bad, but representative.

Those who have been playing along know that, each year, I ask a birthday question.

Here is the 2011 question: Is there something you have always wanted to tell me? (Note: If the thing you want to tell me is private, send a message to birthday at sharyn dot org.)

Father's Day is this coming Sunday. So, I ask (as I do every year): Tell me a story about your father.

Here is my page about my mom, who died almost sixteen years ago.

It has been a while, and I am in a ruminative mood, so:

Tell me about someone you miss. (Posting photos is okay, too.)

Greetings, everyone.

Today is my birthday.

As I do on this day every year, I am going to ask a question.

Tell me one thing about myself that you think I should know all year round. It can be a story, too. And if you do not want to post publicly, you can email me at birthday (at) sharyn dot org ( Read more... )

It's been months since I've posted, much less asked a question. This one is specifically for parents and those who deal with children.

How do you get a child to do something s/he has to, but does not want to do?

For everyone else: How do you get yourself to do it?
