Images that agree : Sub-argument: Megan is a good cook Italian Breaded Pork Chops with Couscous and Applesauce (the sauce was necessary because the chops were dry) Image Background : Megan made this cake for my 35th Birthday. 35 Years of Laub (German for Foliage). Reason to agree that this image supports the above conclusion : 1. It takes thought, planning, creativity, caring, and love to be a good cook. The above cake shows that Megan poses those attributes. 2. Some frosting is gross. Megan makes good frosting. Image Background : My birthday, 2012. Asparagus with red peppers, chicken wrapped in bacon, and some artisan  potatoes Reason to agree  that this image supports the above conclusion :  1. The above photo shows a healthy meal, which is required to be a trully good cook A cake Megan made for Ali on her 2nd B-Day Megan: "As many of you know, Mike had a birthday at the end of January.

See this news article from the Associated Press: Would you consider that to be an accurate "reporting" of what Obama said. Instead of miss-characterize what he said, why don't "news" organization (and Steve Peoples) just report the facts? AP implies that Obama used the word "help". However Obama gives 100% of the credit to the community, not the individual. Obama said; "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." Comments like that are a slap in the face to the American Dream and reveal the President's naïve view that government, and not the hard work, talent, and initiative of people, is the center of society and the economy. Clearly, this President doesn't understand how our economy works. Given the information you provided, it seems like the belief in question is that the media, and Steve Peoples in particular, are biased in their reporting of President Obama's comments abou...

My Images that agree : 2012 wind storm at my parents house while we were visiting (Oldest son first on the site, came running in when it fell).

Images that agree : On a hike in mountains of Idaho (above McCall, off Lick Crick Road) my son found a flower that had 1 stem but 2 different types of flowers stuck together. Reasons to agree : Laub is German for leaves or foliage . I'm not exactly sure how that ended up being our last name, but plants have to be pretty dang interesting to name yourselves after them. Websites that agree:: Laub Life: Parsley

Images that agree : Ali watching fire works with Cousins in McCall, Idaho. 2012.  It seems that we watch fire works at the Bolingbrook end of summer fire work show each year. But the best fire works are on the beach of the Payette Lake in Idaho. They bring a barge to the middle of the lake, and freak out the local wildlife. You can hear the explosions from the fireworks bounce off the mountains. They usually have a great show. Fire works are hard to capture on Camera, so sorry it is sort of a lame post...

Reasons to agree Hiking is good exercise.  Images that agree : Lick Creek Road, Above McCall Idaho. My daughter with a stick and a flower that she found along our trip. (Photo: My brother, 2012) My brother's daughter carried our daughter on her shoulder, let her hold a big toad that she caught (James wouldn't hold it), and showed my kids the "zit tree". J was fast and stayed with his cousins, and so I got to walk slowly with Alison. My daughter and I on a rock (Photo: My brother, 2012) This is a big tree. Or as my youngest would tell us on this day, perhaps 300 times: "Trees are big". My daughter getting a ride from her cousin

Background / Context: This is something my dad would always say: "Mike is a good boy... when he's asleep". Sometimes when you have had a tough day with one of the kids, they can seem like little devils when they are awake, but when they are asleep they look like such angels. Images that agree : 2012-06-25. For some reason Phil does not like sleeping in beds.
