Hi, Amelia! It was a very thoughtless thing for her to say, and I'm sure she felt at least as bad about it as you did! As well she should have... Hopefully, she learned something from the encounter. Now, when you take those shoes back, you hold your head up. Walk up to her, look her in the...

The Stand. IMO it is a masterpiece that will stand the test of time.

Thank you for sharing this article and your thoughts. Yesterday was the 23rd birthday of my autistic son, Brian. He is the most wonderful, pure soul I have ever had the privilege to know. He's different, and he's beautiful. No parent would wish for a autisic child. But Brian is truly my...

Congratulations, Mommy! Your first one -- how exciting! I would definitely put the RN job on hold. With the nurse shortage, you can definitely find a wonderful position when you are ready for it! Concentrate on experiencing the JOY of the birth of your first child with as little added stress...

>Rose, I can't find any discussion of it at all on VF. Which >forum were you in? It sounds interesting, but I don't have a >ball or a wall. The walls in my living room where the DVD >player is are all blocked by furniture. > >Also, Can anyone tell me if there is a fun factor? It's...

Currently I'm reading "What the Dead Know" by Laura Lippman. It's a good read and I do recommend it. Not long before Virginia Tech, I finished "19 Days" by Jody Piccoult. She is one of my favorite writers, but even before the latest school massacre, I found this book to be so devoid anything...

I hope your clouds lift soon!

I've had 12 year-olds, and yes, they can be horrid. And loving parents ALL say things to their children in anger that they later regret. I'm not defending Alec. I'm quite sure that young girl was shamed and demoralized by what he said. But whoever released that tape to the media is forcing...

The only thing better is a chocolate chip cookie shared with significant other after great sex.

I got through the Thirteenth Tale. It was ultimately disappointing to me, but it did hold my interest well enough. Pretty forgettable, though! On the other hand, I ADORED Water for Elephants! I'd say I pretty well LIVED in it when I had it open and thought about the characters when I wasn't...

Six is way too young to be using a stove! Your 30 year old friend probably knows all about child-raising, but if and when he becomes a dad he'll find that his logical ideas just won't work. Even if they did look good on paper! Now, you say you felt bad. I would have too, but please remember...

My response was not intended as an attack on the poster, but a defense of those with "rolls" who choose to improve their fitness in the setting of a gym. As you must know, getting rid of those rolls is an uphill battle, and the judgemental attitude of others is often intimidating to some! I...

The people who were pointed out as being dressed inappropriately were "170 pounds" or had "rolls", according to the original post. I stand by my comments.

I hate it for you that you actually had to lay your eyes on "gross" people when you were working out! Don't you think they should be kept out of gyms? Or at least restricted to working out with others of their own kind? Ummmmmm, a lot of people with less than perfect bodies hesitate at the...

I'm more likely to pick my battles. I would let the share-air-with-dog comment pass, coming from my MIL. However, were she to give unsolicited advice regarding my children, I would thank her and go about my business. If she were to persist, I would again thank her for her interest and concern...
