I had a guy from high school

I understand why he wants to drop out. He and his girlfriend of nearly three years broke over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Basically, he found out that she had slept with two of his supposed good friends and also tried to get with a third. I'm not sure why she did this as my son treated her like gold. He followed her around like a little puppy. Did everything she told him to do. He all but stopped attending family functions because she wa ...

I haven't been back to a reunion since my 10th one. Now, I'm debating whether to go because so many of my classmates are successful, two published authors, military officers, doctors, lawyers. Very small graduating class. Many of them have taken early retirement, live on Hilton Head, SC, etc. I don't want to tell them my pay has been cut in half and I work for an Indian company. Is that pathetic? I would also add that I was the geeky, awkward, nose-in-a-book, dateless, ...

The dress material is very sheer so will have to wear undergarments. I am trying to make a choice between an extra long slip or long undergarment pants, one chosen would be worn with a nude colored camisole. Any thoughts on which to choose? TIA ...

My son, who is in his mid 20s, is assistant coach for the high school girls' soccer team. The young lady, who is team captain, has injured her ACL severely and probably won't be playing anymore but shows up for every game of course. They all are getting her a little inexpensive "get well" to give her tonight. My son has no earthly idea what to get her and frankly, neither do I. He wants to keep the gift very generic, so as to not let the young lady g ...

I can not believe my baby is graduating high school. This May my two boys turned 18 and 21 and now in September they will both be in community college. I am so probud of them coming this far but it is bitter sweet. They both have Asperger's syndrome (very high functioning autism) and although they are growing up, not sure if they will ever leave home. They are good boys and I have done all I can to help them succeed in the world and there are new life lessons every d ...

The No Good, Very Bad Outlook for the Working-Class American Man The U.S. economy is still a powerful engine, but workers aren’t seeing the benefits, less-educated men are struggling, and the rich have disconnected from everyone else.

The post below made me think bad, and every time I do I laugh. Now, I was not a bad kid but I spent more than my fair share of time in detention for the least little thing. I would go to sleep in class and get detention. Then I would go sleep in detention. Our high school in Atlanta was grades 8-12, very large. So you may have had 50 or more kids in detention. Usually, the teacher monitoring detention did not even know you. Sometimes I would have someon ...

Exhibit A is Payal Modi who identifies herself in social media as a “High School Art Educator, Designer, and Foster Mommy” in Dallas, Texas. Modi appears in a video firing a water pistol at an image of President Trump while she shouts “die!” Kristinn Taylor reports the U.S. Secret Service office in Irvine, Texas acknowledges it is “aware” of Modi’s video. ...

"It's just so sad that kids have to take it to that level," she said. What level is acceptable, I wonder. Once again, some racism is okay, okay to think it, just don't hold up signs. Okay to say it, just don't let the media publish it--Mississippi legislature. In my hometown which is say 70% white, 20% black and 10% Hispanic (sort of a guess), I am fairly certain these "kids" would have been de-signed by other fans, the administration or their very o ...

Click on the link to see where billions and billions of stimulus money would go for high speed rail lines. Note that 3/4 of them do not connect to the rest of the country. They are mostly 'local' rail lines. At the bottom or side of the chart, you can click on each line and see the projected cost of each. In my honest opinion, from reading some of the other newspapers and journals, most of these lines will be so fast, anywhere between 100-236 mph trains, yet only cut 1/2 ...
