    My poor little daughter!

    I'm willing to bet the only reason she was disturbed is because deep down she feels the same way but is afraid to let you know how she feels. Fact is the world is full of people rational enough to know that an institution is the best place for many. You want people to be tolerant of your...

    Parenting, sometimes honesty isn't the best policy

    The marines are very strict on the medical side of recruits and if you think about it there are reasons. A marine will be the first ones in very nasty places would you want someone that had ANY medical issue their where you life depended on him? Would you want your son in a group where someone...

    Should I keep my mouth shut or make a stink?

    just do a quick internet search and get some news clippings of kids and very small adults that have had their necks broken or died when a front seat air back literally knocked their head from their body. At the very least ask him to have the air bag on the passenger seat disabled. I've...

    Disney movie rewards points

    better off buying a cheap disney DVD... I tried for months to get credit for the Winnie the Pooh movie this summer. The system never would work, and no one ever responded from any emails to customer service.

    My poor little daughter!

    Of course the reality is dear old dad was well aware that his son was a ticking time bomb... a kid that acts out violently for no reason at all isn't going to just start this when he's 12 in a Target store... He shouldn't have been taken out to a place where he could hurt someone to start...

    Can't get a close up

    The lenses if its like ever other 18-55 kit lens I've seen, has a lens hood on it that will come off if you twist it about an 8th of a turn... So that might be your first thing to do, remove the lens hood. Second, you might be too close to the subject... that looks like you were taking some...

    Any advice for a broken toe? (updated: bruised toe!)

    I've heard of you have someone tap the end of your finger or toe... not tapping the top of it but taping it as if it were a nail that they were trying to hammer into your hand or foot, that if its broken you will feel intense pain, if you don't feel the pain then its not broken just a sprain or...

    My poor little daughter!

    I do have one question... What do you think will happen when your son is 18 and can do as he pleases? That is a question I've always wondered about... some parents can and do control their troubled kids when they are young enough that they can legally do so... but what will happen when he is...

    Was This US Airways passenger appropriately compensated?

    Your right. And the sad fact is the seat widths were based on the average size man from the 1950's... if you look at the reality of humans were are getting larger and not just wider, also taller. The seat sizes need to be changed and they need to give you adequate leg room too. Next time you...

    Where the jobs are?

    There are jobs out there... but often people don't have the skills or experience to get them... or in other cases the people don't want to take a job that they consider beneath them. Or in other cases the skills they have and the job that they could get exist in other parts of the country and...

    Was This US Airways passenger appropriately compensated?

    Aside from a full refund the carrier should be fined a few hundred thousand dollars for breaking the FAA regulations that require all passengers wear seat belts during take off and landing... that is the story they constantly drone about to everyone before a flight begins, that you "MUST" wear...

    My poor little daughter!

    Now if I had a pet lion and decided to go out for a walk would you be upset if the lion decided to eat your kid? What if I was disabled would that make it alright? Sorry but if you have a kid that has "issues" and is a danger to himself or others because he doesn't act in a rational way...

    Looking at TABLETS...need advice and opinions

    A couple of things to consider when you are looking for budget tablets. 1. There are two types of touch screens out there, capacitive (found in Ipad and other higher cost tablets) and resistive (often found in very cheap tablets and a few not so cheap ones)... How the two work is rather...

    Rental car insurance

    Terms vary on the credit cards, one of mine only offers coverage of 14 days ( capital one ). Also the one thing the insurance does not cover is the loss of use. This will hit you directly as the rental car damage is covered by the insurance, but the the rental car will charge you for the loss...

    Landlord needs 60 days notice.....so hard to make everything line up!

    I think they may be lying to you. As far as I know only Delaware requires 60 days notice. Maryland law only requires 30 days notice. Only thing that might change that would be if there was specific language in the contract you signed, but if you are now on a month to month I doubt it.

    Would you donate to a food pantry that only helps families?

    I think that is also the way it is with a lot of government run operations as well... I know in my state the food stamps are for women and children only. I also wonder, what would you rather see happen. The food banks don't have an endless supply of food, they tend to run out of food...

    Really torn on adopt a family

    If you read the post by the person I was responding to, she said how long her sister was on welfare. So my only assumption is that the poster was telling the truth... you also missed my point, yes I have the perfect family and children... and most everyone believes that of their own family no...

    Really torn on adopt a family

    You said, "not working to support your family isn't against any law"... the very definition of neglect is "failure to provide necessary food or shelter"... so when you can't provide those things you are guilty of neglect, whether it is willful or not doesn't change that.

    Really torn on adopt a family

    I wouldn't want to let the baby be raised by the same parents that failed to instill good judgement in their own daughter (as evidenced by her decision to have a baby she couldn't afford). I see that all to often when a mother is shown to be unfit the courts often let the mother's parent take...
