A dementia that rivals Alzheimer's strikes before age 65
Thu Jun 13, 2013
- I have read about this condition before, and how it usually results in divorce for married couples because at the beginning of the disease, a person is still somewhat functional, but may make really stupid or impulsive decisions that harm the marriage. It would be hard for a young(ish) person in the …
Hero paralyzed after rescuing 4-year-old from drowning
Thu Jun 13, 2013
- To give a ray of hope for this man: When my husband was 17 years old, he was in a very bad car accident. The doctors at first told his mother to say her goodbyes because he was going to die. After a few days, they said he would be paralyzed, and indeed he did have very limited mobility, but after mo …
Bad teeth, broken dreams: Lack of dental care keeps many out of jobs
Wed Jun 12, 2013
- Wow Patse, glad to hear you have so much compassion for those different than yourself. Have you ever considered that we need grocery cashiers? And restaurant workers? And retail? And gas station clerks, maids, janitors, and trashmen? I'm sure you deem all of these occupations as way too lowly for yo …
'The joy of being one': The case for only children
Tue Jun 11, 2013
- I don't think it is up to me to judge people who decide to have just one child. Not my choice, but then again, not me. I have 2 brothers and I love them very much and there is a special bond with siblings that you can not have with any other human. I have 3 children and would have more if money allo …
No time to daydream? Why imagination is still key for kids
Mon Jun 10, 2013
- Yep, my kids know that if they tell me "I'm bored" I will quickly find a not-so-fun chore for them to do. Figure something out. Yes, I let them play some video games and watch some TV, but for the most part, they just need to entertain themselves. I also do active things with them like walks/bike ri …
Mom's end-of-school-year fatigue rant goes viral
Mon Jun 10, 2013
- In reply to: dan j-2993111 #2 I love being a parent to 3 children. I knew it would be hard, and I own that. It is my own responsibility to deal with it. That doesn't mean that sometimes, I just need to vent about all the crap that I have to do day after day after day. There are tons of people who do …
Transgender former Navy SEAL: 'I want some happiness'
Fri Jun 7, 2013
- I don't understand what it feels like to want to be the opposite sex so I can't really make any judgements on this person, but I do have to say that he was such a manly attractive man that it seems a shame to change that... :)
After 10-mile run, woman gives birth to surprise baby
Thu Jun 6, 2013
- I personally get so huge and uncomfortable when I am pregnant that I do not think I could carry a baby even close to full term without noticing, BUT I have known some friends who (although they DID know they were pregnant) did not show very much at all and other people probably would not have ever f …
Wet wipes take male grooming below the belt
Wed Jun 5, 2013
- My hubs has used unscented baby wipes for his clean-up "needs" for all of our 12 year marriage. I appreciate it. If he wants me to get close and personal to that general area, I want it to be as clean as possible!
Restaurant bans kids under 18, saying parents need a 'break'
Tue Jun 4, 2013
- Sounds fine to me! I have 3 kids, but I don't want to go on a date with them and I don't think others should have to, either. If we want to "go out" with the kids (which is rare, due to cost) we will go to a family-friendly place where kids are expected.
