If the world really would come to an end this year,

"A 2-year-old Kentucky girl was accidentally killed by her 5-year-old brother who fired a rifle he had been given as a gift, officials said Wednesday." Parents can be arrested for not reporting a missing child. It's not even legal to let your child drive a car without a permit. Yet, this sad, sad story is unfortunately way too common. We MUST start holding adults accountable for guns in the home. ...

Will try to make a long story short. I love my MIL. We get along great. She comes to visit every couple of months and stays for the weekend. She has had some serious drug/alcohol problems in the past (in remission for 3-4 years), but 2 years ago had an actual suicide plan. She has had several psych admissions, is heavily medicated at times, but seems fine lately, and is under psych care. Occasionally she has said about my 3-year-old, "When he is older and ...

I guess he has to drive a used minivan to his second home. Another Wisconsin Republican that is out of touch. See link. ...

Another year has come and gone. We ended up going to the movies to see the Little Fockers. It was pretty funny. We went to the grocery store beforehand to pick up some snacks for today and then grabbed dinner at a fast food place the kids picked. Overall, it was a pretty good evening. I went to bed about 11:30 (I tried but could not stay awake), but the kids stayed up till a little after 12 with DH. After that, they went off to bed. I'm actually looking ...

I'm the parent of a toddler, no other kids. I'm 42 and she just turned 3. My husband is at home too, but he is disabled from physical issues as well as mental ones. I was a stay-at-home transcriptionist way before I became a mother and I am overwhelmed with it all. My husband is there for us maybe 50% of the time, which just isn't cutting it. He is my only source of support, as we have no family, no friends (thank you isolating career move), and we ju ...

are people thinking? What is the deal with some people getting their posts always liked and commented on and others completely ignored? If I was not hooked on Castleville, I would completely give it up!! ...

This is the only soap opera that I watch thanks to many years as a child through my mom watching it. I grew up with this show!!! Now it is being canceled. I just can't believe it I mean after Guiding Light I thought the show was safe! The other soaps on other shows are thriving! I don't get it. That one about the witches and goblins is doing okay. This is the only one that I could get into because it had things in it that felt like it cou ...

If you don't have a good sense of humor then don't "play" Here's my songlist for my party tonight!: End of the World as we know it What a wonderful life Goodbye to you. Eve of Destruction. I'm making a commemorative CD, so add on if you'd like! ...

Ran some errands today. On the way home, I noticed a sign in front of someone's house with balloons that said "LAYOFF PARTY" Go figure . . . ...

Can't wait until Friday. GO USA!!! ...

Tel Aviv, U.S., France, Tunisia, London, Iran, Moscow, Tokyo, to name a few. It is good to see that genocide is not going unnoticed. ...

Would love to hear the spin on this? ...

The marquee at our local McDonald's said they were interviewing on Tuesdays from 2 to 4. My 18 year old has been doing landscape work at our church for a couple of years but now needs something with more hours so he went at 2:30. He was told the manager was not in and to come back in an hour. Obviously, DH and I were not impressed with this level of professionalism but oh well. He goes in, is interviewed and is told to report for orientation at 2:45. The paperw ...

I realize that's a question with a wide range of answers possible. This town seems to have a lot of ghetto-y, trashy type people who always want to settle any type of dispute, no matter how minor, by fighting. Offering someone to "square up" and beat the crap out of them. That's really going to prove or accomplish something? Seems to me all it proves or accomplishes is that people are too ignorant or lazy to discuss facts in a reasonable manner, mu ...

I have a 12 year old son in the 7th grade. Yesterday he cried and almost missed his school bus because he was not happy with his hair and said there was no possible way he could go to school with his hair like that. It looked the same as it always does. I had to make him leave and go get on the bus and I felt awful having him leave upset. This morning, it is about 40 degrees outside here, and he did not want to wear a jacket of any sort. He has about 10 hoodies tha ...

VR - got my first really good one today - dictated: dysphonia with a high pitched voice. VR: dysphonia with a 'high fish' voice. Glad I'm getting off soon. At least worth a smile, or laugh....... ...

Unreal. If she keeps the baby, when she is graduating high school, her daughter will be in the 1st or 2nd grade. Very sad, IMO. ...

I'm out of ideas for end of year gifts for teachers. My son will be "graduating" 5th grade Thursday and he's had kind of a rough year. I'd like to get his teacher something out of the ordinary. I usually do gift cards, but anyone out there have any better, more unique ideas? I don't want to spend lots of money, maybe $20 or so...Thanks y'all! ...

Anyone have any specific traditions they do New Year's Eve or NY Day? Both of those days vary for us as we've gotten older. NY Eve we USED to do it up big, get all duded up, go to a banquet hall, dance, ring in the New Year with Champagne, leave after midnight. These days, we just go out for a quiet dinner with friends, or do a little thing at someone's house. Staying up until after midnight is optional for us these days, but we've been doing pretty good ringing it in. ...

Yeah, it's my mother. Maybe that says it all. She has told me she wishes she could change how she and my father parented my brothers and me when we were growing up. In the 60s and 70s nobody really thought about how to parent. They just did it, good and bad, so I'm dealing with the fallout of their choices just like every other person alive. I think we've had the normal ups and downs, although my mother has been and continues to be a very critical, judgmental person, not jus ...

A friend of ours, 15-year-old Alex Pearson from Nashville, TN, suffered an ruptured aneurysm after a rare slow brain bleed (about 3 weeks) on March 18th. He has undergone craniotomy to stop the bleed, and has had most of his skull removed on both sides b/c of brain swelling. He was brought out of his coma last week and after three hours of no brain function and being told he was brain dead, his mother and brothers and sisters left the hospital and headed to church to pray with the youth group ...

Okay, so I got out of MT 3 years ago (for obvious reasons), took a nice little part time job answering telephones for a mom & pop business. I plan on retiring completely in one year, and am trying to get ideas on what you plan on doing (or are doing) in retirement. Or, heck, even if you have many years ahead of you in terms of needing to work-work, I'm open to ideas. I am thinking of volunteer work. I do know that I don't want to sit around and watch movies all day. I'm th ...

Please pray for all of the medical transciptionists, technicians, supervisors, etc. who are suffering by the work being moved to various countries. Pray that God sends us all something better. Pray for a better U.S. economy and for better economies in countries of the entire world. ...

The worst, bar-none absolute WORST dictator on my primary account, was rattling along in his usual fashion, speaking into his armpit, when an overhead page interrupted. And do you know what he did? He actually . . . wait for it . . . he actually STOPPED TALKING until the overhead page was done. And that wasn't all. After that, he said, "Sorry about that overhead page," stuffed his head back into his armpit, and went on with the dictation. Perhaps the world did end and I didn't noti ...

If I could buy a cabin in the Rocky Mountains on 40 acres of land, I would. Except I can't. I live in apartments because that is my only financial option (long story, lots of people have a similar one), so I really should try to accept my situation and live a happy life. Except I just want things the way I want things and I believe since I've been single and working from home since 1997, I have become a hermit crab and like it enough I am not motivated to change. My downs ...
