WINK news would not name the boy, but they felt no problem with showing an image of the house, clearly displaying the street number, and listing the street name and neighborhood?

As an urban 27-year-old who thoroughly enjoys mud runs, I feel like you really get me, you know?

Steam douche was the original working name for what we mere mortals know as a flue.

The gun, which was loaded and unsecured, was stored on a shelf built into the bed in the victim's home, and in the same room in which the victim was laying in his crib.

My husband hunts, and I enjoy target practice at a shooting range as a hobby (much like archery). We keep the guns and bullets separated, and we never have a loaded weapon just hanging out in the house. For us, that's why we have guns yet keep unloaded firearms in the house.

It's horrifying to me. I didn't meet my biological father or half siblings (two brothers and a sister) until we were adults, and my sister found me through Facebook. After reading this, I started mentally reviewing every interaction I've had with them since we meet three years ago. No sexual attraction for anyone, as…

One unfortunate piece that doesn't seem to be considered is that families in most states have the right to "opt out" of those sex education classes in school. The system might mandate that the school offer it, but it doesn't mean that all students will have it.

"Another said family members told her they would be afraid to hug her if she wore the dress she bought at the store."

I was kicked out of Sunday school many times, but my most memorable experience was when I asked about dinosaurs and Adam and Eve. I maintain that the teacher could have told me that our days are 1000 years in heaven and vice versa, which the pastor had mentioned before, so dinosaurs came and died before Adam and Eve…

I noticed one year that Santa's gifts were wrapped in the same paper as those from my parents, but my mom quickly assured me that Santa had to borrow our paper to wrap our gifts. I guess he was particularly frugal that year. No matter: I continued to believe for at least another year.

I do have a similar problem with trying to find where I left off, but mostly I just wanted to comment to say how very much I love Lost Girl! I've gotten through all three seasons on Netflix and am sad that it'll be about a year before season 4 is available.

That part stuck out to me, too. You plan far enough in advance to visit the writing center (or what have you), yet your sad excuse is that you didn't have enough time to write the assignment? Were I a professor, I'd much rather have a poorly-written paper reflecting the student's own research and opinions than a…

I'm with you! I have gone without seeing a therapist for over a year now because my insurance would only cover 6 "treatments" a year. It was a new therapist—first since college—and she wanted to see me at least once every two weeks until we developed a plan. I quickly realized that I'd run out of "treatments" before I…

Actually, I believe it is legal in certain circumstances. We have the FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act), but it only protects you once you've been at a place for at least twelve months—out of luck if you come into a job pregnant or get pregnant within the first three months. Moreover, employers can deny restoration…

My mistake! They are below the poverty line, which is still astonishingly low at $31,590 for a family of six.

People living on 25k a year with 4 kids are living below the poverty line.

If you're crunched for time and/or money and can't make a trip to the grocery store, I seriously recommend [www.supercook.com] for meal planning. You enter what you have on hand, and it generates a list of recipes from a variety of websites (Cooks.com, Allrecipes.com, etc.). You can narrow the list to items that you…

I'd like to add a suggestion that sort of relates to number 10: people often think they're saving money by purchasing off-brand or generic grocery items, but that's not always the case. If you pay attention to grocery store circulars and coupons, you often find that the on-sale, name-brand item with a coupon is…

I, and some others I know, have lost positions (or had our positions threatened) if we say no to our supervisors. Once I was driving to class, and my boss called to ask if I could come in. I reminded her that I had class during the time she wanted me to work, and her response was "So you're going to go to class…

I'm so sick of the term "web 2.0." My library science grad program is offering a class next semester called "Social Media and Web 2.0," and it makes me sad.
