I went to a newly opened Shell station to get a half tank of gas. As soon as my pre-purchased card cleared to begin the transaction, a video monitoring changed from showing a still picture of something you could buy inside to a recent news blurb of local events, followed by a three day forecast of weather in my area, a commercial inviting me to buy Snickers by running inside, finally followed by a Fox sports cast, all timed perfectly from the start of the transaction to the last 30 seconds ...

Hi, I've recently had a knee injury - something I've never had before, so I'm unfamiliar with what to expect. Have any of you ever had a knee injury such as a sprain or ligament tear, and if so, what were your symptoms and how long did it take to heal? Did it ever feel normal again? I'm in my 60's, and am still an avid rollerblader. My knee problems started about 2 months ago, when I was getting a little tired near the end of a 12-mile group skate I w ...

Sometimes I feel i'm the only one over 35 without children. Most of my friends have them and almost everyone in my extended family. I have never been in the position financially to have them, and I figure it wouldn't be fair. I grew up in poverty and as an only child, and I do not want to lay that burden on someone else. My husband and I might still adopt, or if we suddenly become rich and healthy in the next year or two produce one (lol). Just wondering i ...

This is so confusing - My daughter has a best friend who comes from a family that is very close-knit but very dysfunctional at the same time. Her friend, let's call her Sue, has a brother, let's call him Tim, who has had an on and off girlfriend for several years. He's 29 and she's 21. Two years ago she had a baby by another man and Tim decided to take on paternal responsibilities and he is the only father this child has ever known. She has now gone an ...

My daughter is 13, son is 10. They pick at each other constantly about the littlest thing! This afternoon I sent them out to shovel snow and my daughter came in crying and said she would go out after her brother was done because he called her an idiot. Told her she was not an idiot and called him in and told them both to not talk to each other while outside. Now it is not even 6 o'clock and they are in their rooms for the night because I am out of options for punishm ...

Hey Everyone! I have a 4-year-old girl and a 5-year-old girl. Anyone with that age group have any ideas for Christmas for them, or what are you getting your children of that age group? Also, how many presents do you get our children? ...

I will be celebrating at home this Friday with my 5-year-old son and 8-month-old son (and hopefully hubby when he\\\'s off work) Just wondering what everyone does to celebrate, if you have any fun ideas for us, such as food, games, etc. My 5 yr old is really looking forward to it!! Thanks for you help and ideas!! ...

I know someone who took in 2 foster kids. She is a teacher and her husband works in construction. She doesn't need for anything. Her own lil girl (not a foster kid) is in pagaents a lot. She spends quite a bit on pagaents actually and eating out and just went on a short vacation/pagaent. They went out of town to a pagaent and vacationed for the weekend while there. They say they are broke though. Anyways, when they go on vacation they don't take the foster kids. Then she said s ...

Hi one and all! Was wondering if you could all keep my son and his best friend in your prayers and thoughts. over the weekend my son's best friend broke his neck and was paralyzed. They are not sure if he will ever walk again. So I simply ask for your thoughts that this young man will be able to walk again and heals quickly. THANKS EVERYONE!!!!! ...

My son is 8. He has had a rough time in school. He has always been a hyper kid but never to the point that we felt there would be a problem. We just thought he was more active and and a very hands-on learner. This school year (thankfully almost over) has been horrifying for him. He says kids in class make fun of him, he is constantly getting into trouble. The teachers say he cannot be quiet or stay in his seat and focus. All of this worried us and we too ...

My child has social anxiety and has very few friends. It is difficult for her to make friends, but once she does, she loves her friends. It causes her a lot of stress and such at school, due to this, but it is getting better. She has this one friend, who is her best friend, she is 11 years old. I have known this child since she was born, because her dad, who raises her as a single father, is very close friends with my husband. There is no talking to the dad about the pro ...

Any opinions please? My daughter has a friend who started coming over and I noticed she was continuously scratching her head A LOT, so I asked her to let me look in there and she had lice. It wasn't a case that was just hard to get rid of, her head was crawling with TONS of lice!!! I actually called and asked the girl's mom about it and she acted like she didn't even know she had lice, but said she would treat it. Well, then my daughter gets lice, so I trea ...

A lot of doctors that I transcribe for are telling their patients as old as 18 not to get any kind of radiology done that they might not need because of the risk of cancer later in life. When my son was 1 he fell down the basement stairs and the doctor had told me this, but also told me that the risk was very small and that it is better to know than not to know. I think that CTs, X-rays, etc. are good things. I have heard of so many stories where the person goes ...

As an adult, she hasn't changed that much. Always looking for something to tell mom about me or just plain gossip about me to mom and anyone else who will isten. As a young adult, when I still had the energy to have a fiery temper, I would fight with her. After I had my second child, I decided to just not pay attention to her anymore and just ignore her BS. Our kids are now teenagers and still my sister plays her games. Today I finally blew like Mount St. Helen ...

North Carolina Restaurant to parents: No screaming kids allowed Restaurant to parents: No screaming kids allowed Owner of Olde Salty restaurant in North Carolina spurs controversy with signs http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/39075518/ns/today-parenti... / On an airplane, in a movie theater or in a restaurant, the shrill sound of a childish voice raised in distress can resemble nails across a blackboard — especially when it’s not your child. Now one North Carolina eatery has drawn ...

There is a neighborhood kid across the street that is in middle school and he and his friend are 'starting a business.' I am all for kids having initative and working but they put out a flyer that they are starting a business and will walk your dog for 50 cents a minute. Are you kidding me?? That is $30/hr!!!!! I do not know many adults who make $30/hour. I told my husband that I must be in the wrong business. I know his mother and I am surprised tha ...

My BIL keeps referring to his mom (my MIL) by her first name. He'll say "you know that Sharon moved the other day", or he'll say "I came home today so I could bring Sharon to the doctor". The first time he said it I said whose Sharon? He said you, know, my mom. I said why don't you say "my mom" I know who you are talking about. He told me that when he's talking to his coworkers they don't know who his mom is. I'm sorry, I just ...

What's your opinion? I don't like to see toddlers dressed up with all the makeup, looking like little women, many times doing the sexy gestures, etc. If we want to teach girls that they are valuable and not just sex objects this is the wrong way to go about it. I especially hate when they show the little kids crying and the parents forcing them to perform. Just me? ...

I have gotten serious with my boyfriend to the point that we are considering moving in together. I have 3 children (6, 5, and 3) and he has 2 small dachsunds that are pretty much his world. My kids are with their dad for the summer and will be back shortly and the only thing I'm worried about is if his dogs will be okay with my kids. I know one of them is just as loving as she can be, but the other is very picky about certain people. Everyone I have introduced to her ...

Perhaps my niece should re-think this nursery school she had put her daughter in...One day a week the nursery school has the "tumble bus" come to the school. However, this is not an activity open to all children, only to the ones whose parents pay an extra $11 for it. Well, my niece forgot about it and didn't pay for her daughter to participate. Apparently they come to the classroom and pull out the children who get to do this activity. My niece was informed that her daughter was quite upse ...

What is your opinion on kids on medications to keep them calm? Especially boys. Boys are boys, and they all inherently have "ADHD" until they're about 16. <g> I think it's a matter of discipline, not drugs. Also, it just kills me that kids who have behavioral problems and who are in chaotic home environments, are drugged and therapied to death, then stuck in the same horrible nutty home environment. Drug the kid, ship the kid to therapy, but keep the ...

I posted this several months ago, but the thread got off-topic and I never got much in the way of "yea or nay" as far as answers....so will try again. I have 3 children in their 30s and 40s, and 7 grandchildren. I see all of them fairly often even though they all live some distance from me. I send all of them birthday and Christmas cards along with money and gifts. This Christmas in return I got handed a computer-generated card from my son while I was visiting their house, dropping off the f ...

Parents out there, how do you give your kids money, like how much and what all do you provide for them? My son is 13 and my daughter is 9. We had my son a cell phone for years, but lately we decided to cut back the $250 bill, so I told him to use the home phone. I still let him take my cell if he goes somewhere, so that I can contact him. The kids never really got allowance until recently and I give my son $40 dollars per month and my daughter $20 dollars per month. They ...

Mind you, they are 22 and 25. They are driving from upstate NY to Long Island to stay with friends and see a concert. Now, each of them has been gone on their own, my son's been to the other end of the country on both a plane and train. I think my problem with this trip is that they're together in his car. I have these visions of a crash and losing both of them at the same time. I know - silly, right? Yes, I know it. But a mom worries. ...
