What would breed is that dog? We just got a Fiest/mix that looks very similar and at 5 months is 20lbs. We are curious to what its final size will be.

why anybody planning to spend a year or more in a country refuses to learn and adopt the dominant language is beyond me.

I think this description of GOP voters could be applied to both Republicans and Democrats in that,

Oh it is horrible! I think we need to do something. However, I think restricting guns is not the answer, that the answer lies more in the direction of better social services. Solving that problem is even more difficult and costly than gun control.

I agree that pinning down specific age that allowing kids to be on their own is difficult. Every kid is different. Sometimes I question whether my 15 yr old is up to the task of taking care of herself (not really but ...).

Serious. Even if she were there for some silly reason, I feel that the kids are old enough to be alone for that amount of time. Maybe not the perfect way to parent but it shouldn’t be illegal.

Stupid arrest. Those girls were just fine for an hour or so by themselves.

That all sounds bad and a large school like that should probable have better facilities but I am sure that many football programs don’t have X-ray facilities at their stadiums.
