Mark Souder (R-IN) -- who just resigned after admitting to an extramarital affair with a staffer -- recorded a video with the same woman praising abstinence education, according to TPM." At TPM, Justin Elliott reports that part-time staffer Tracy "Jackson played the role of interviewer for a Souder We ...

William Hilton Paul, the 22-year-old son of Republican presidential contender Rand Paul, was cited for driving under the influence of alcohol just before noon Sunday after he hit the back of a parked vehicle on Woodland Avenue. This is the third time William Paul has had a run-in with the law because of alcohol use. A spokesman for U.S. Sen. Rand Paul's presidential campaign said the senator "does not comment on any private matters in regards to his family." According to the citati ...

For those of us who have been searching for a sign that Rush has a heart, I think it's time to put that notion to rest. Here's the link to the full transcript in all it's glory. ...

My grandma's side of the family has a biannual family reunion and it's a pretty big party. Every reunion a different families "hosts" the reunion. Hosting generally means they pick a location for everyone to gather, book the facility and caterers, send out the newsletter, and contact local motels and campgrounds for special group rates, etc. Then of course their in charge of the events at the dinner like giving prizes for who traveled the farthest, the oldest, the you ...

In response to the questions posed below by Backward Typist regarding the foreign policy speech: 1. The values President Obama refers to that he believes foreign policy should advance are incorporated in the speech in several places: Political reforms that support democratic transition, human rights, economic development, trade, integration with US and European markets, OPIC (private) investment and debt forgiveness, among others. So no, he is not speaking about oil ...

"The president also said that “those coming into our country must embrace our values” and he renewed calls for a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico." "Frankly, I'm not even sure what are values are anymore in this country. We don't place any values around life or the loss of it, we place no value on our environment or on peace, or on equal opportunity, or on women's rights. Quite obviously, we place no value on healthcare. What exactly are the shared values this man sp ...

Grover Norquist an extreme con wielding major influence on the republicans. Even many Republicans don't care if he believes it nor not. As Grover Norquist says, at bare minimum they need a president with opposable thumbs, who can hold a pen and sign what they pass. Thus it matters to the rest us, whether Romney believes it or not, if elected conservatives will expect him to practice what he pandered to get elected, and put his name on whatever they pass. Romney the perfect puppet. H ...

Ok. I am not sure what I need here but maybe some opinions would be great!!! I moved against my parents wishes (about a yr ago), I am 35 y/o and took my son (13 y/o)with me. They wanted me to move to be near them after my divorce. I did not want this and wanted to take my son and make it on my own. However the problems do not end there, my parents then tried to take my son from me. I have been disowned by my mother after a strongly worded email stating if she ...

I recently had the misfortunate opporunity to answer the phone from one of my family. She started talking about things going on in her life and then felt the need to "dump" on me. We are of the Caucasian race and she has a child who married a different race. She proceeded to tell me (and I'm talking about almost to the point of yelling at me) how ashamed she is to belong to the race of white trash where nobody cares about anybody else but themselves. The other race i ...

I only just learned about this tradiotion, I guess it's a northeast thing. But I thought it was a charming little thing. Just wondered if anyone on the board did it. ...

Happy Thanksgiving to all, especially those who are working! Here's the Family Guy funny: They're doing a parody with Michael Jackson eating Frosted Mini-Wheats. In the parody, Jackson says: "The kid in me likes the frosted side but the adult in me likes the kid in me". ...

I would like to ask for prayer for my family. Just the highlights: Hubby has had 12 brain/head surgeries in the past 3 1/2 years and is now permanently disabled. Son's wife found out she was pregnant and moved out. Bank has foreclosed on our home of 16 years and wants us out by the 20th of June. Satan has had his hands in our business for too long. I am asking Jesus to shield us and help us to keep Satan at bay. ...

I've had a lesion growing on my arm since September and I took it to the doc, and it turns out is a basal cell carcinoma with elements of squamous cell, not yet biopsy proven. Now, my background here is that my mother always felt I was a hypochondriac - her favorite saying was "you have more aches and pains than any other six kids!" so I'm always confused emotionally when it comes to health issues. I don't want to be melodramatic, since, as MTs, we all know that this i ...

I live in a state that I hate (Montana). I was born and raised here and all my family is here. I did live in California and Arizona for a while but came back to Montana because of my family. I am now a single mom and my ex is not in our life at all. I have an amazing family who helps me out so much. But I hate living here. I hate the long, cold, awful winters. I am not a hunter, fisher, hiker so there isn't much to do here for me. I am torn ab ...

We have the holidays coming up and birthdays, hoping we make it as ex not paying his child support. Pray that the work will flow in and I will be able to make it through until the beginning of the year without too many problems. Tthank you so much ...

Hello: Just need somewhere to get this off my mind. I had it out with my youngest niece today over her not going to her GED classes. "I have a headache, I'm tired." Just all sorts of excuses. I told her that I was angry with her, that attending classes is mandatory, that I was tired of her excuses. She basically told me to F--- off and stormed to her room. Background: Niece is 18. She moved here with her mother (my sister) and my other niece in ...

Like so many of us today my family is beginning to suffer from this economy tremendously. Much job loss in my family, potential loss of their homes, and now finding out addictions in some members that were surprising. I see this as all coming from the stress of worry. I have begun to pray for healing for my brothers and sisters that they be given what they need for their families - steady work, and supporting their efforts to get counseling and go to rehab. Please pra ...

So a few months ago my grandmother got pneumonia which lead to CHF and then she was put on a ventilator...before that the last time she was in the hospital was 25 years ago for a hysterectomy. The medication they put her on made her hallucinate. She is still in the hospital, has gone thru 3 different hosptials, swing bed, etc. Now, she is in Senior Care for 2 weeks to see how she does. She is still not herself. They are hoping it is delirium instead of dementia, but also mentioned brain damage f ...

I posted last Christmas about my daughter's mother-in-law. There seems to be no end to her drama. She said, "New Rule. We only spend $50 on the grandchildren for Christmas." They are my only 2 grandchildren, and I spend much more than that on them, but I guess it makes her feel bad. She has something like 15 grandchildren. I flat out told my daughter that I would not let her dictate what I give my children. She alternates visiting my daughter&# ...

Please say a prayer for my family and myself that we all get through this okay. My dad just passed away and my family is taking it pretty hard. He suffered so long with MS. I feel like a nervous wreck. I lost one dog in September unexpectedly, another dog in March from old age, and now my dad. This is just too much. Plus the stress of having to make a paycheck to pay our mortgage. ...

I hope this doesn't come off as rambling but here goes..... We're having a disagreement in the family over family get togethers and as a side bar my 22 yo college son. First my son does not call the other family members like he should. Well my answer is always he's in college, he's busy and he's 22. What 22 yo is conscious of proper manners, I mean at 22 I was also a little self absorbed and clueless about the appropriate behavior with more or less ke ...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss things not related to transcription. I tried to use the gab board, but it wasn't working. Anyway, any advice is greatly appreciated! I live hundreds of miles from my parents, and now I get along with them much better. My Mom often calls me daily, but she is very rude if she gets another call. She will say someone else is calling, I have to go. or so and so is calling, call me back later or I'll call you back. &n ...

I have a great aunt who came into quite a bit of money years ago and she shared lots with her granddaughter. Her granddaughter has not been one to make much of herself, partied alot in college, didn't finish and was given a job as a secretary at her mother's place of employment. She bought her granddaughter a couple of cars and eventually had a house built for her, which her granddaughter got absolutely free. After grandmother bought her the house, she and her boyfriend got ...

Hi :) I have a family problem. I will give you some background information first. Sorry for the length as I try to explain. I was raised in a small town by my mother and stepfather (she has been with him since I was 1, so for many years). I grew up with one sibling, my half-sister (my mom and stepdad's daughter). I always knew of my biological father. I would see him at various events, and he was at my 6th grade graduation, although he never really said more to me than h ...

I ride the bus regularly as does this certain family (mom + 3 small children). They all smell. Its not BO, but whatever it is, it is bad, like moldly clothes or something. They stink up the whole bus. I'm worried I stink when I get to work. How do I handle this? ...

I come from a family who were all intact, that is, no divorce or overt abuse or anything of that nature. Because of that, I think they think I got it better than I actually did. In fact, my mother believes I've had an easy life. I've always had emotional problems and was on disability until a couple of years ago and became an MT. When I was younger, if therapists asked me about my upbringing, I never thought anything was attributed to any problem with my upbringing and thought it w ...
