Grit & Grace

ADULTING: The practice of behaving in a way characteristic of a responsible adult, especially the accomplishment of mundane but necessary tasks. Urban Dictionary gives this as one definition: Post adolescence when the light in your eyes fade away and dies.A term made popular by and about millennials.This is a topic that could really go all kinds of ways so we picked one and that was so go over 20 things not taught in school. In this episode we talked about whether any of these should be taught in school or whether it's something parents should have been responsible for. We figured not quite half would probably be beneficial to have in the school system because of the huge important throughout life.So even though it's a list of things not taught in school, doesn't mean we think they should be and in some cases, the ones listed are in fact taught in school. So many are starting life with no idea about very basic things and without getting too serious in life, you don't want to be completely clueless either.So w

On October 17, 2018 recreational marijuana use will be legal in Canada. In the US, 9 states have made recreational marijuana legal. Medical marijuana is different. That's not what we're talking about in this episode.We talked about the PROS and CONS of legalizing it and it's a hot topic but no matter what side of the coin you fall on, it's a big issue that gets clouded by so many things and in this episode we make it clear that we're talking about the average user that uses it recreationally.Something we love to do is CREATE A POLL asking people whether or not they were in favor of legalization. We asked on our Facebook page and here's a screen shot of the results. So whether you agree or not with it being legalized we just ask you to continue the conversation...ask questions because you'll most likely learn something new about the topic or the people you're talking too.We'd love to hear from you too and remember NEW EPISODES DROP ON WEDNESDAYS!

Marriage/Relationships evolve. We don't stay in that lustfull state forever which is good because we'd never accomplish anything being so focused on that new love. Sometimes people get caught in the trap of thinking that THAT feeling should last forever. Well...get over it. It doesn't but it can grow into something amazing and not without it's ups and downs.We covered the results of a recent study that revealed the BEST and WORST year of marriage and it's not the often referred to '7 year itch' year.Also we shared things to avoid to keep a relationship strong. Needless to say we strongly disagreed with 2 out of the 7. Watch and weigh in with your opinions. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the wake of the Las Vegas shooting and because we like to tackle the tough topics, we decided to have an honest discussion about gun laws. We knew this episode wasn't going to contribute to changing laws or minds for that matter, but when it comes to the latter, you just never know.So, we started with a little history on the 2nd Amendment and court decisions from the 1800s that most likely helped to solidify the gun laws of the US. One thing that we realized that was quite eye-opening is how vague the language of the 2nd Amendment is. Look it up, you may be surprised.We moved into the arguments that always surface when something of this magnitude happens and the state of affairs in other countries such as Canada, Australia and China.CJ touched on something called killology and of course we touched on the baby steps of solutions to a seemingly epidemic way for individuals to take themselves out via mass shootings.People are tired of 'thoughts and prayers' which no longer carry the intention they once did.We

What's your number? Whether you think it's an incredibly telling indicator of a person's character and values or you consider it about as significant as their favorite color, chances are you've been asked your "number"—that is, the number of people with whom you've been sexually intimate—more than a few times.In fact, discussing your sexual history is an almost inevitable part of a new relationship. But is your number really "normal"? And how does divulging it affect other people's opinions of you?We share the highlights of a recent survey of over 2000 men and women in Europe and the US and you may be surprised at the results.You can also grab your favorite audio version of our shows on our website at www.gritandgracetv.com and on www.milehiradio.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
