I know we all thought she was crazy but I guess now that deployments are so much longer, her idea doesn't seem so off the wall anymore.Ann M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07450730528995565892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-19976931012908364852007-09-19T17:47:00.000-10:002007-09-19T17:47:00.000-10:00I think in some ways it must be helpful or maybe t...I think in some ways it must be helpful or maybe these companies are preying on emotional people. Maybe you could just draw a face on a balloon and call that dad. If you get upset that the real dad is awa. You can pop the balloon in rage and then blow up another one and start a better relationship.<BR/>Heatherorchard_girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09567387457704329765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-17938545058530022412007-09-19T16:48:00.000-10:002007-09-19T16:48:00.000-10:00Just catching up on blogs.

Flat Dad is a little creepy. <BR/><BR/>BTW, we just watched Sweetland ourselves. I agree it is one of those movies that really stays with you after its finished.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10500399461772613197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-75943134343675337772007-09-19T10:40:00.000-10:002007-09-19T10:40:00.000-10:00'K, I'm back.Sorry, I wasn't ready for that, too e...'K, I'm back.<BR/>Sorry, I wasn't ready for that, too emotional.<BR/>We talked about our troops last week for FHE, we talked about keeping them in our mind so we'll constantly remember them in our prayers.

Not that it matters, any length of time is too long! {{{{HUGS}}}} your direction too!<BR/><BR/>The senior sister missionaries here actually suggested that we make the Daddy dolls as a project for our Super Saturday coming up. Cute idea, but we are not going to do it.<BR/><BR/>For some reason the half life sized version of Dad just doesn't seem right! I guess the whole version would be too big, but still, from the waist up...<BR/><BR/>That reminds of my silly stepmom. She had a co-worker give her a blow up life sized man doll. She would put it in her passenger seat and than drive in the car pool lane during rush hour traffic (which if you've ever driven through Denver during rush hour traffice you would understand why she did this!). She only did it once. She said she felt too guilty after that for cheating. lol<BR/><BR/>um, sorry to take over you comments....Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023817009212398947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-89254885588513140862007-09-19T06:20:00.000-10:002007-09-19T06:20:00.000-10:00Do the "Flat Mommy's" have b00bs?

I would think it would be funny to see a Flat Daddy Nathan in pictures (assuming he is amused by the idea that is).<BR/><BR/>I'm with you on the puff-paint pillow cases. Isn't there something else that can be done for these soldiers to make them feel appreciated and cared for when they return home???Deannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806557096802322028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-69352149162923926662007-09-19T03:52:00.000-10:002007-09-19T03:52:00.000-10:00It does seem a little weird to me, too.

But, I've never been in that position to have to explain to my kids why their daddy is gone for a whole year. <BR/><BR/>Hokey and cheesy, but maybe it helps in some little way. <BR/><BR/>Good for you for being involved!nikkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513640054479376205noreply@blogger.com
