I thought she was turning into a bratz doll

Oof. You guys have turned into the mean kids at school that pass around some girls diary for lolz.

What charges could there be? She is a grown adult with custody of her child. She can do what she pleases when she pleases. Other people worrying about you isn’t a crime.

Charges were filed against the runaway bride because she tried to give them a fake story about being kidnapped, when she actually left of her own free will. She falsely reported a crime.

I’m not familiar with the “runaway bride” case you’re referring to, but if she was billed for the search it is quite unusual and usually only occurs when there’s some sort of deliberate action on the part of the subject that gets law enforcement involved. For example, staging a kidnapping might qualify. That doesn’t…

Missing person cases where, for whatever reason, the person decides they want to just abandon the life they have are actually not entirely uncommon. You aren’t under any kind of legal obligation to keep anybody informed as to your location. If she’s the legal guardian of the 14 year old she has every right to keep her…

What charges would be filed, barring a kidnapping? You have no legal responsibility to be in contact with anyone for any reason.

As the proud parent of the first, second and third grandchild on both sides, living in an 800 sq. ft house with my husband and I too, I can say that I get it too. There’s not a very nice way to say for the 10th time, “I appreciate that you love the kids too, but 4 hours opening the gifts just from you on Christmas,…

Donahue was fantastic. I remember watching it with my mom during the summer.

Off topic: Have you ever seen Phil Hartman do Donahue on SNL? Gold, gold, gold.

That would have killed me if I were in college.

It was a dark day when Donahue left the air. I LOVED him!

My dorm didn’t have cable my freshman and sophomore year, so while waiting for classes to start, I would watch a lot of daytime television. Thank you, Maury, for being there for me in my darkest (most boring) hour.

My cat doesn’t interfere overly much with making the bed. Instead, he just sits on the nightstand all, “Yes, tuck that in there, very good. And a blanket for the foot maybe? Yes, the fluffy white one — I’m very fond of it. Ok good. Thank you for preparing my enormous bed for me. If you are good I may allow you to…

“Cease all work immediately and fulfill my list of demands.”

Erm, that's not a cat. Please remove.
