    I Better Vote Tomorrow...

    My daughter got one too and she's 19, this is the first year she is able to vote! She did consider it shaming her, but shaming someone who didn't vote in 2010 because they were 11 years old is ridiculous! My husband and I didn't get these at all and my daughter has received 2! Btw, she did vote...

    I am getting a mini cooper! Now help me pick out stripes.

    I like the blue stripes also, but blue is my favorite color! I have a 2015 Countryman I bought used in May 2017. I truly love this car! Cars have always been more about convenience for me, not looks, I think I have the cutest car on the planet now! Unfortunately, I was rear ended 3 weeks ago and...

    This one is a doozy and I may have to change my screen name after this...

    First, I'm so sorry you are going through this. My mother in law was the same, but she did try to kill herself and nearly succeeded. There is just no long term facilities for mentally ill anymore (maybe if you're wealthy?). After her suicide attempt, she was in the hospital a week then the...

    Carrie Underwood

    Her statement had me wondering if there is something serious going on. Like maybe she fell because of a previously undiagnosed condition and now she has a diagnoses. Or maybe she was/is pregnant and has complications because of the fall. I think the plastic surgery comments are ridiculous...

    How is bussing handled in your community?

    Wow, everyone else's mile radius is much shorter than ours. Here it's 4 miles and over and they will get a free bus. They will also use how the crow flies to measure. For all grades K-12. When my youngest started kindergarten they redrew the district lines and sent him to a different elementary...

    ******Official 2017 Free Dining Plan Watch, Wait, and Dream

    I'm new on this thread, I've been reading a little here and there. I've never done free dining, so this is all new to me. I'm helping my future daughter-in-law plan their honeymoon (Yes, my son did good and is marrying a Disney junkie!). What time does it usually come out in the morning...

    My mother died.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. We just went through this with my mother in law in August. DH and his one sister moved her to a new apartment closer to his sister, the only one she was really letting take care of her, on a Sunday and on Friday when she went to bring her dinner, she was gone. She...

    Would the FAA ban the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 from flights? Update: looks like they are now.

    My DH and I both have the Note 7 And don't plan on exchanging them until we have Note 7's to replace them with. We haven't had any problems with them and they don't take long to charge at all. AT&T told us they'll have replacements this week.

    Anyone watching Stranger Things on Netflix?

    We watched within days of it coming out and we loved it!! I've been thinking about watching it again. The kids are phenomenal young actors, especially El with her facial expressions instead of lines! Love those kids! I was an eighties kid too and we rode our bikes everywhere too. Such flashbacks!

    parents not suing

    Omaha is not a small midwestern town, it is a city. The town of Elkhorn that they, and I, live in was annexed into Omaha in 2008.

    parents not suing

    This is correct, the foundation was set up shortly after they returned home. Their church made their address available for people around the world to send gifts and donations, plus there were go fund accounts set up for them. I'm pretty sure she is a SAHM, so returning to work is not possible...

    AncestrybyDNA or Ancestry.com DNA tests and are they useful/worth it

    I posted earlier that we were waiting on my DH's results and he got them yesterday. 54% Western European (German, he's traced this way back to 1400's) 23% Irish, 2% Native American, 21% trace origins. The 2% Native American is way lower than we expected, it should be the same as the Irish. Ah...

    AncestrybyDNA or Ancestry.com DNA tests and are they useful/worth it

    My dad did his recently and my DH is awaiting his results. The surprise on my dad's results were 12% Irish and 20% Scandinavian. We didn't know we had any of that in us at all. I've said for years on St Patrick's day that I didn't have a lick of Irish in me, but I have to stop saying that now...

    2 Officers shot in Dallas tonight during police protest rally

    Holy crap! 10 officers shot, 3 dead, no one in custody! 2 snipers shooting at police officers! On CNN right now!

    Is this body shaming?

    I'm not believing this story 100%. If a woman walked up and "smacked" her behind, it was a family wedding and it was her grandmother/mother/aunt or another family member who has known her since she was a baby. And with my thought that it was a family wedding, her and the bride have history and...

    Kitchen Appliance opinions

    We replaced our oven, microwave, and dishwasher in March 2015, so over a year ago. We got all LG appliances. The microwave and dishwasher are fine, do their job. The oven however, doesn't keep its heat well, particularly if you a baking cookies or something where you have to open the door alot...

    Things I just do not understand..

    I don't understand the Greek yogurt craze. I was perfectly happy with yogurt the way it was, now it's hard to find. I don't understand why so many forget their children (and pets) in hot cars. I just don't remember this being a thing when I was a kid. On that same note, I also don't remember...

    Finding Dory

    We saw it yesterday and loved it!! My youngest DS has a learning disability and is adopted and he didn't have any issues with the storyline. It was the Despicable Me movies that had him asking questions about his adoption.
