My nephews' parents are divorced. Why should the fact that their mother left my brother for another man (who she has been married to now for 10 years) be a reflection on them??? Their parents have made the point over the last 12 years of NEVER acting as anything other than a united parental...

So glad that jerk wasn't elected our Governor. Unfortunately there are a lot of right wing wingnuts in upstate NY.

First day of the official Christmas shopping season, the day after American Thanksgiving, which is always the last Thursday in November. So named because on that day so many people go shopping that stores that may have been in the red (losing money) all year often go into the black (making a...

That's why SMART people never give up control of their lives to someone else. Keep your own money in your own bank account, and your apartment lease/deed to your house and car in your own name. I see too many people (usually women) just signing over their control over the things they have worked...

You just aren't using the right search terms. I can find literally dozens of free, fully accessible sites on a Google or Yahoo search. There are also some interesting-themed profiles on Tumblr.

SMH. I've been pulled over for a taillight out and a headlight out. At no time was I ever asked for my license or registration or proof of insurance. They were just, like... "are you aware that this light is out?" "No, thank you for telling me, officer, I will have it taken care of the first...

We just had a case in my area where an older man has been arrested for following several women with young children around in several different stores in the area. On the Facebook articles there are plenty of apologists trying to say "well, maybe he has dementia or Alzheimer's onset." As a woman...

I did, searching under "Donna Douglas loses leg..." and nothing came up. Her Wiki page doesn't say anything about that either.

A keystone species in its native habitat is never a "problem." It's the human population that wants the wildlife to clear out so they can have their good time that is the problem. I live an hour south of the largest state park in the country, bigger than Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon put...

Because that lagoon used to be swampland, which is the natural habitat for alligators. You can't stop them from going where they want to go, as with any wild animal. They have much more of a right to be there than the humans who have built right on top of their habitat. And yes, there ARE "no...

I would hope that someone who sees a sign that says "no swimming" would be smart enough to figure out that it means "no activity allowed in this body of water." No wading, no laying and letting the waves come over you, or lounging on a pool edge with your feet in the water. I've been at a number...

That part was a JOKE!!!

Exactly. My brother is 46 years old, and has been out of the house since the age of 18. None of us had a "bad childhood," in fact it was idyllic compared to what most kids are experiencing today, so he can't blame that.

Several years ago, after he got out on the child molestation conviction that put him on the sex offender list (he had actually another blemish on his record from when he had molested me, but he was a minor at that time and there was no registry back in the 1980's when that came to a head), he...

^^^Up to a point, I was convinced that we were talking about the same s'path, except the one I know is still alive. I think the movie The Bad Seed is as good an illustration of the fact that a "nice" family and a good home can't always prevent someone from developing into a(n) <<expletive...

Which is one thing you will NOT find in my childhood home. Because, on the other side of the spectrum, my other, oldest brother is an overachiever - Eagle Scout, BSA Silver Beaver Award which is the highest honor an adult volunteer in Scouting can earn, NY State Licensed Guide, National Honor...

I am fast becoming of the mindset that rehab does NOT work for those who have very poor impulse control. Rapists and other sex offenders fall into that category. I've mentioned on here that I have a brother who is a sex offender, and he just got out again on parole. Welp... he used the internet...

Stupidest thing I ever heard of. Want higher grades than a C? STUDY HARDER. As for the essay tests, what do these people rather want, multiple choice? Coloring the dots on Scan-tron sheets? Guessing the right answer doesn't show that you have learned the material. Being able to explain it in...

No it is not. This attitude is why this world is in the sad shape it is in, because humans have tried to bend and change it to convenience them, rather than try to live in harmony with their surroundings. We are just another species, no better than any other.

Zoos should be replaced with sanctuaries that are off limits to the public. Wild Cat Sanctuary in Minnesota is one such facility, they don't allow any visitors or tour groups, as some of their cats have already been victims of "pay to play," ripped from their mothers as cubs and forced to pose...
