OK, so T is graduating on Wednesday. Against all odds, the kid is graduating, and on time. And those of you who've been here awhile, know what she's been through and how hard it's been for her to get here. When D, her elder sister graduated, 3 years ago, my mother & stepfather, their only living...

I borrowed my dad's camera the other day. I figured it was time for pictures, since we have NO new pictures since about January or so. Ever since the replacement digital camera crapped out on me, I've had really not much, other than the odd disposable camera, which doesn't go on the computer...

Judgment Day; a Perspective Imagine yourself on Judgment Day. You are in the courtroom and are standing before your Higher Power (Judge) and the accuser (prosecutor). The forces of good and evil are within you. The good and evil forces have their eyes fixed on you. They know your mind and your...

Christmas is exhausting..... thought I would have tomorrow off but I don't. Who the hell wants spa services on Christmas anyways??? People with to much money, I suppose. Have a great day folks! T

Soooooo... Months ago, I had put in a request for a transfer from this 2 bedroom unit into a unit with 3 bedrooms... A little while after, I had a letter that said that they were going to deny my request at this point because I had paid my rent late one month - October of 2004... Boy was I ****ed...

Wondering if any of the wise owls here might have some info... First off, I'm currently dealing with an injury lawyer, mainly for B's injuries after that accident. This lawyer said he'd take B's case on, and also recommended for A as well. B's injuries were obvious and clear as day... Hauled...

Hi, I am in a position where I have a 3 year old son, who thinks that copying everything I say is fun. Sometimes it is funny. Sometimes it is not. For instance, I say "Pick up the Crayons" he says "YOu pick up the crayons", and proceeds to laugh. He doesn't listen when i ask him to do stuff, he...

Took the kids for a free initial consult with the orthodontist today. O my, the trauma and pathos for my 13 year old girl. Bottom line, they both could use them. But my son, forget it. We are still working on teeth brushing everyday. My poor daughter. So self-conscious about her teeth, won't...

Well, I'm back in the net access area and it's 6:30 in the morning and 37 below outside. Hey Christine, I might make that 45 below yet! :-) I feel as if I'm in my old job in the Yukon, bouncing around the territory consulting in the winter. Some aspects of that are kind of fun. But I miss a decent...

Yesterday, being the holiday that it was in the US, we did the obligatory calls to family and close friends. T (15 YO) had no problem calling my mother or my step-father (whom he'd spent 3 weeks with this summer and loved it) or our friends..... When I suggested calling his paternal grandparents...

I would like to to know who posts in here... to get an idea of who's who.... Where's everyone from ??? and that sort of thing.... Im Carrie, 26 mother of a 6yr old girl and pregnant with what appears to be another girl. I live in a really small town in Pennsylvania. I've been on bed rest for the...

I just found out that my 13 year old daughter is pregnant by a 19 year old man. I want her to have an abortion and for him to go jail. She refuses. Is there anyway that I can force her to? She apparently has no idea what she is doing. Does a child have a choice in a matter like this?

Here is an update on what has happened so far. I finally got the chance to talk to her last night (she keeps putting that kind of stuff off & I think it ended with more of a "to be continued" than anything else). She said that she's noticed a change in me since I've got with my girlfriend,...

Not sure if I mentioned it but my middle son is back from Australia and is now working in Italy (he teaches English) not too far from the ski slopes. As he only has a short holiday I have decided to take Freddie and go out to see him this time. So this year Christmas will be away as we leave...

G'morning. I just joined this group looking for some advice. My ex-wife & I have joint custody of my teenage daughter who just turned 18 this past week. Sometime last fall, she broke curfew at my place & I punished her accordingly. Now she's broken curfew at her mom's. My ex-wife wants to punish...
