  • Teachers deserve to earn a living wage too. Just because they deal with kids, doesn't mean that it should be volunteer work. In PA teachers need not only a bachelor's degree, but within 5 years must also obtain a Master's degree. These are expensiv…
  • I was carrying on recently about this issue to my 18 year old stepson, and anyone else in the house that was listening. I didn't like teenage boys when I was a teen...they smelled funny and had a general aversion to soap and water...ick. I can't ima…
  • Presbyterian, I think. He lived in the same area I grew up in....an amazing man!!!
  • Fortunately, my mother was early in realizing that not every childhoold ailment required an antibiotic...so we don't have the resistance problem that many in my age group are finding. I'm in the middle (where I find myself on just about everything)…
  • Don, what would you do IF she won and the world didn't fall apart???

  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-03-05 AT 09:38AM (CST)[/font][br][br]If you give the history a fair review...the world was in a pretty miserable state during the Carter administration...*edit* and not all his creation...nor somethin…
  • We have 3...one in our room, living room, and in the basement (our son plays his video games there). I don't WATCH much TV...1/2 hour of news at night and one of the morning shows is on as we get ready for work. But when we are watching, generally,…

  • I don't know Don, she doesn't seem anymore affectionate to women than men...she's equally distant. In one of the episodes, she explains how her mother died and how she scrubbed the street clean...it helps explain her neurotic obsessive compulsive …
  • Some of us are born with that spirit of adventure and exploration. Admittedly, I don't have it...and I'm grateful that none of my family seems to either. BUT I am also grateful to those that do. Those whose desire for answers and knowledge is greate…
  • NASA has someone new in charge, he was appointed just before this shuttle was supposed to take off earlier this spring. He grounded it then....but seems to be taking risks now...maybe there is some pressure.
  • as with anything, this was intended to protect people from losing jobs because they wouldn't give in to sexual favors and the like..but it's been abused...and that's just reality. Personally, I've handled the situations just as you have...but I ima…

  • That's the one...I don't know about his name though....I do recall that it is just one guy...although he calls himself "five for fighting" It's a lovely song...
  • The show that Harrisburg puts on is great. 4th of July weekend is always "Kipona" and the American Musicfest held along the river...lots of bad4you food that tastes great and hundreds of booths and musicians...and the island has a huge Native Americ…

  • we try to encourage carpooling to decrease traffic and parking issues...but sadly, this is one of the downsides. Not that I think HR should be "social services" but it does have a role to play in the well being of individual employees and the workf…
  • I prefer to stay home on these 3 day weekends...but since the arrival of the baby--we make the trip back to my home (Pittsburgh) more frequently...and as it's been said 3-day weekends are just easier.... we'll cook out...visit with family...and enj…
  • I think each party has someone in its ranks that isn't a good fit, but keeps showing up anyway.
    in Sheets Byrd Comment by deniseE June 2005
  • agreed, Don. Although many of the families might want their day in court, perhaps it's best to not need to endure the trial.
  • I have 2 thoughts on this...first, part of me is grateful that he's pleading guilty, accepting responsibility, and not wasting a ton of taxpayer time and money on a trial...HOWEVER...it also concerns me, because I'm sure that if a fully trial were t…
  • I doubt that the use of pot/maryjane/dope would increase much if it were legal....maybe an initial spike (similar to the end of prohibition) but it would drop in no time. Legalization MAY, however, increase the amount of time that law enforcement h…
  • I have to give credit to the jury....now that they are permitted to talk to the media...it's got to be tough to remain civil through some of the questions....three of them were on MSN and the anchor kept asking, "but you KNOW he abused children...ho…
  • It's always hard to determine the accuracy of a verdict from the livingroom. There is so much testimony and evidence presented that just cannot be covered by the media.... As I have explained to my mother, KNOWING someone is likely guilty and havin…
  • I ran into a lady while shopping who was carrying on a rather personal conversation with-what appeared to be herself-... I realized that she had one of those earpiece things, but it must have been too late because my face reacted before I could stop…
  • I'm still holding out hope that she will be returned to her family. It bothers me that no one seems to be able/willing to tell the truth...it just seems so cold-hearted.
    in Aruba... Comment by deniseE August 2005
  • Just because it isn't a choice that I would make for myself does not mean that it's an option that should be denied to others. This seems to be a microcosim of the issues facing our culture right now.
  • we were never permitted cereal that had "toys" inside the box. No sugar cereals either! x:'(
  • what was the name of the girl that was Spiderman's friend...she wore a yellow suit with flames....I always thought she was pretty cool....
  • now THAT, right there, is FUNNY! :DD
  • Sadly, there is no magic bullet. I entered parenting with an 11 and 12 year old. At first they were challenging, now I would say they are terrifying. A lot, I guess, has to do with a bad divorce. The kids learned to play their parents all too well- …
  • This was a show I would have never turned on, except that my mom stays with us at the beginning of the week and she wanted to watch it (Desperate Housewives is another one)...but I admit that I'm hooked. My brother has theorized that the characters…
  • you're absolutely right. I don't disagree that the driver should face reprocussions for his choice of response, it was also inappropriate. I guess what you're hearing is collective frustration that "it's wasn't my kid's fault" seems to be the sta…
