    Do you want to leave your STATE?

    I'm a Texas girl through and through. I love visiting other places but I don't want to leave Texas to live anywhere else. The weather is intense in the summer at times, sure, and sometimes I don't agree with the politics or attitudes of some, but I love my state and I love my town (fort worth)...

    Another story about WHY you should not leave kids in the car alone

    http://www.cbsnews.com/news/young-boy-dies-in-carjacking/ This is why I would never leave a young child in a car alone, even just for a few minutes. This happened when I was a teenager while I was visiting relatives in the area this occurred. It has haunted me so much that as I had my own...

    Grilling Question

    I was going to suggest storing it in the cabinet under your kitchen sink, because that's where I store mine and have never had a problem (I'm in the dfw area and I feel it gets too hot to keep it outside) but since you mentioned you do foster care, I'm not sure if that would be allowed or not...

    A fellow in Houston Texas paid outstanding lunchroom fees for kids

    Growing up I was on reduced lunch and it was about $.40 a day and often times my mom couldn't afford that for me and my brother. She was a single mom with a low paying job. I can remember the days I didn't have money, occasionally a teacher would give me change, one embarrassed and shamed me...

    It is so hard

    Do you mean like hallucinations? If so, that and suicidal thoughts puts you at risk, especially around children. Sometimes you have to put yourself first, no matter how missed you might be.

    My mom bought a stocking holder rack at kirklands this year that she's using, it's super cute and she said it was less than $20. If I didn't have a mantle that's definitely what I would do!

    Son of Anarchy fans? (spoilers)

    Lol I never thought about how short lived I got to enjoy Clays comeuppance! Tara was a favorite of mine, despite some of the stupid things she's done this season. I was sad to see her go. I had a feeling she was going to be killed off soon, but I didn't think it would be Gemma who did it...

    Son of Anarchy fans? (spoilers)

    I guess I'm not sure who hasn't been shown to have a very dark side. There haven't really been any unflawed heroes in the show. Do you have any specific characters in mind?

    Amazon prime why is it taking so long?

    For me, smartpost and surepost stuff comes within two days, but traditional UPS is coming much slower. I want to blame it on the weather, but the smart/sure post stuff is unaffected so it seems to be something more than that. I've ordered a lot of stuff from Amazon this Christmas and receive a...

    What do you think of this baby name? Update - here he is :)

    He's adorable!!! I happen to like Walter and especially Walter James. My dad's name was Walter Anthony but he went by Tony. Id have preferred Walter over tony. I love old names though. I learned very quickly when I was pregnant with dd years ago that I should keep my name choices to myself...

    How bad are the roads into Dallas? Any updates? they are Dallas bound!

    There supposed to be another round of storms Sunday evening I think. Tonite the roads are bad and many are shut down- but during the day today, while the roads were bad and i didn't even try to venture out, they at least were mostly open. I would think they should probably try to come tomorrow...

    Disney with split family?

    When your Mom made the suggestion of bringing the child's mom and family along, is this plan you have outlined really what she envisioned? I think this could work in theory, if you have adults who are mature and put the child first. What you have described is neither. You're putting too...

    American Thanksgiving question

    I work for a large investment firm and we only get Thursday off. If the stock market was closed for the entire day as a holiday then Friday would also be a paid holiday for us. The stock market holidays are our paid holidays.

    Have any of you known of a man donating hair to Locks of Love?

    My brother grows his hair out, then cuts it for the Pantene donation program and then shaves the rest and starts the cycle all over again. He's donated many times and his hair is chemical free, healthy and beautiful. I actually would think male hair would be better for wigs as guys don't tend...

    Grocery Store or Supermarket

    I'm in Texas and call it a Grocery Store and go Grocery Shopping. My Grandma says "I'm going to the Grocery". My items are placed in a basket, not a cart or buggy- am I the only one? And when I was in hs and worked at the local big lots we had "go-backs" :)
