    7yr old killed by pit bull

    the problem isn't "Young children in a home with a vicious dog and guns" but "young children in a home with stupid, ignorant, irresponsible people with a dog and guns." I love politicians who make this a problem about dogs rather than their owners. All dogs have the potential to be vicious or...

    The woman I saw who I never want to be!

    Hi, Just wanted to say that this is one of the most informative threads I've read here in a while and that right now I wish I was living in or near NYC. However, as an immunologist, I just want to clarify a few points. Misconceptions about science irk me, especially since most of what is...

    Okay.....

    May I add: that 'suicidal' song and 'rehab'. My commute to work is only about 10 minutes long and I swear I hear each song at least 2x on the way there and back. cristina

    Cheating men......

    Turn around and walk away. There are plenty of great men out there and sticking it out with this slimebag isn't going to do you any good. On the plus side (if there can possibly be a plus side to such an unfortunate situation) at least you weren't married to this guy. good luck cristina

    Baptism gift

    Hi everyone, I need an opinion. My cousin is having her son, 5 months old, baptised Catholic later this month. I don't think my cousin and her husband are particularly super religious, and I'm not religious at all so I don't want to get their baby anything religion-themed. Any suggestions...

    Merillville, Indiana

    Hi, I'm living in South Bend right now, about an hour east of Merillville. I've been shopping in that area, which is pretty suburban. Standard stuff: strip malls, big box stores, etc. Maybe I'm biased because I moved here from NY, but my advice is: DON'T MOVE TO INDIANA! There is no...

    Daily facial moisturizer w/ SPF -- what do you use?

    Not sure where you heard about SPFs cancelling each other out, but I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. SPFs aren't additive, so an SPF of 15 and another of 30 don't make 45, and a lower SPF can dilute a higher one, but if you put on sunscreen or sunblock you are getting some combination of sun...

    How many of you...

    Hi there, I grew up speaking Portuguese, so I can also understand, but not really speak, Spanish. I speak a little French left over from 4 years in high school. Right now in my spare time (I just had a baby, what spare time?!?!?!?!) I'm trying to learn Mandarin cristina

    Mucinex

    I used Mucinex once when I had a horrible, phlemy cold. It definitely cleared up the congestion- so well that I felt like I had swallowed a desert. I was so dried up that I got a nose bleed! My husband swears by the stuff but I just can't use it. cristina

    OT Vista

    I got my first mac last june and i LOVE it! I would say it's more intuitive to use than anything I've ever seen on a PC. AND all the 'new' features Vista is supposed to have are pretty much already available on Mac OS 10. I've talked to several people who are PC people (as I was too) and...

    Do you tip?

    Keep in mind that most people in various service industries (waiters, porters, valet, etc) make BELOW minimum wage, sometimes significantly. Tips are a large chunk of what they make. I can't even imagine NOT tipping. After all, if you don't want to pay someone a few extra bucks to bring you...

    Clone Meats..........

    speaking strictly as a scientist and not as much of a meat-eater: cloned meat is meat, just like meat that comes from any other animal. I'm not so sure that I understand the outrage. After all, would you freak out if you knew that you were eating a cow that happened to have an identical...

    Wal Mart sucks!

    I have to agree with most of the posters- if you left items in your cart, walmart can't really be responsible. they are, however, responsible for being courteous to the people who shop there, and obviously didn't do such a good job in that department. unfortunately, I frequent walmart much...
