Yeah, the fence sitting irks me, especially because I personally have definitive opinions. I've never watched an entire Olberman or Maddow program, but I confess to being a Rush Limbaugh fan since the very beginning. I also occasionally watch O'Reilly and Beck. I tune in to these programs...

My understanding is this: The supreme court decided in 1973 that a woman has a fundamental right to obtain an abortion and that a fetus is not protected under the constitution, therefore the practice cannot be outlawed. What Bush did do was to sign into law a ban on partial birth abortion...

Ditto!!!!!!!!!

This is what I thought too. During that time my DH had to travel from our west coast home to DC for business. I was worried sick the entire time he was there. I just cannot imagine how it must have been for those who lived in that area and had to go on with their daily lives despite the fear...

My daughter got the nasal mist and broke out with hives all over her torso. The rash didn't clear up for over a week. When I called the MD to report my daughter's reaction I was told that I am the only person who ever indicated a side effect from the vaccine and that I should just give her...

I had some Skittles, Milk Duds, a truffle, a mini Butterfinger and a couple Now and Laters. BUT! I ran ten miles yesterday morning, did some house work then went trick or treating with my DD and her friends in the evening. My GWF says I burned 3757 calories yesterday, so besides polluting...

Clothesminded, Please don't discount the mark you are leaving on the world as a high school teacher. It takes a very, very special person to do that well. I have four awesome children, but one in particular is very demanding. He's a high school senior this year and three or four of the...

I’ve got a couple of homosexual relatives that are both in long term, committed relationships. Barring the redefinition of marriage, I think the government should, at the very least, allow them to enter into civil unions so that they have the same protections under the law that heterosexual...

I was (am?) a marathon runner and suffered from PF in my left foot so badly that I was out of commission for over a year. After undergoing all conventional therapies that a podiatrist administers, I ended up having surgery. It took almost a year to clear up, but I only feel the PF slightly in...

I lifted this from a blog on National Review Online: Top 10 Reasons Chicago Didn't Get the Olympics 10. Dead people can't vote at IOC meetings 9. Obama distracted by 25 min meeting with Gen. McChrystal 8. Who cares if Obama couldn't talk the IOC into Chicago? He'll be able to...

That's nuts. The cynic in me says that the whole licensing arrangement is just some regressive tax scheme.

I follow the curly girl method and so normally shy away from "cones". However, I recently purchased a bottle of Enjoy Hair and Skin Treatment Oil which contains at least two types of cones. So far I have had no problem with build up. This stuff is amazing! It works great, making my coarse...

Kathryn, LOL!! While at the grocery store a few weeks ago, 7 year old DD asked me to buy her some Twinkies. I told her I would not, that Twinkies are not even food. Shortly thereafter she finished a 5K in the blazing heat. I was so proud of her and told her she deserved a reward. What...

I'm lucky to reside here on California's Beautiful Central Coast, which is without a doubt one of the most favorable climates to any outdoor activity.

Nancy, Yes, the first three books are hilarious. The fourth is good enough, but not so much that it excuses purchasing it in hard back (as I did). I'm about 3/4 done and I've been enjoying it, but it doesn't quite stand up to the first 3.

Also, for something on the light side, Jen Lancaster's books are laugh out loud funny. I've read her first three: Bitter is the New Black: Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smartass,Or, Why You Should Never Carry A Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office Bright...

If you are at all interested in history/biography then I recommend The Knife Man by Wendy Moore. It's "the remarkable true story of John Hunter, a maverick surgeon who was as renowned and respected in Georgian England as he was feared and reviled."

Since I am a girl I'll use out female dog's name: Trixie Lisle If I were a guy it would be either: Rex Lisle or Alfie Lisle

You might get flamed, but it won't be from me. DH is my second husband. I have two kids from my first marriage and, if I knew now what I didn't know then, ex DH would have been my one and only husband. I was quite young though, and not yet so bright. My daughter is 7 and she's expressed...

She also took the words right out of my mouth. Except for the part about her childcare provider since mine are home with me. I'm good with my own kids, but can't handle those that are not mine. Hah! I just realized I LOVE my job! Too bad I don't get paid anything more than room and...
