'You're not invited' alerts: New wedding trend draws criticism
Thu Feb 7, 2013
- No matter what your budget or venue, it's just plain rude to tell people they aren't invited. When I married we had a limited budget, so we had a nice, simple, family reception at the church (buffet for all our out of town family) and then had a private party/reception at our home later that evening …
Dental chain accused of hurting kids, bilking taxpayers
Tue Dec 11, 2012
- This just makes me furious I worked in dental for 20 years and never worked for anyone that abused children like this.
Trampolines are no place for kids, docs warn
Mon Sep 24, 2012
- Absolutely agree with you all. As the parent of 5 VERY active kids, over the years we have had several bike accidents requiring stitches, a combined 7 broken bones (one while walking & slipped and fell-maybe I shouldn't have allowed her to walk!), and so many sprains, bumps and bruises that I ca …
Rhode Island school bans father-daughter dances, says they break the law
Tue Sep 18, 2012
- Life is not fair. Too bad your child's dad CHOOSES not to participate in her life but don't punish everyone else who's dad does!
Did 'Heart Attack' burger claim a second victim at Vegas diner?
Mon Apr 23, 2012
- Absolutely! When will personal responsibility make a comeback? It's not like anyone forces people to eat this much food at one sitting. They voluntarily walk into the establishment and order it, and then try to eat it! Don't blame the restaurant, blame the patron.

'Healthy Happy Meal' doesn't have to be an oxymoron
Fri Mar 9, 2012
- You are absolutely correct. All 5 of my kids have had fast-food during their lives and none are overweight. Because we are an active family & fast-food is an occasional treat. It's all about moderation and taking care of your body.
We are the median: Living on $50,000 a year
Mon Dec 5, 2011
- Our family of 5 has done it for 12+ years. It's tight, & there aren't a lot of extras, but it's do-able.
Shocking ending: Implanted defibrillators can bring misery to final hours
Mon Oct 10, 2011
- My dad has one of these & it has never been discussed with our family. Guess I'll be bringing it up with his dr next visit. It's a sad state of affairs in our country that we cannot even discuss the basics of health care without feeling uncomfortable. And yes, death is one of the basics.
What to do if you hate the new Facebook
Wed Sep 21, 2011
- I already have a homepage where I go to get the news I want to get - I certainly don't need Mr. Facebook deciding what is important to ME! I also don't think that I should have to go thru elaborate steps and create some "list" in order to see my friends' posts at the top of MY homepage.
