In the Earmarkulus bill that was signed yesterday, as predicted, the Democrat Party has sold out African-American schoolchildren in Washington, DC. They did sneak a provision into the Earmarkulus spending bill that cleared the Senate which closed down the school choice project in Washington, it's...

We're in the southern US, but not an area with a strong regional accent (dialect, among some populations, yes, accent in standard American English, no). Recently, my 4 yr old has started using a dipthong on vowels in some words, which sounds, to my ears, like a Texas twang. Neither her father...

Most of DD's preschool teachers are Spanish speaking with a very strong accent. I think that is fine and hope DD picks up some Spanish. However, I do have a slight problem. DD is beginning to learn to read and write. She can read simple words and can spell some words. If it catches her...

#2 is pretty sociable, seems to have lots of friends and greets people with great enthusiasm. However today she received her first party invite since before Christmas, and I heard a couple of parents of other girls commenting that they'd had a lot recently. I was a bit surprised as I'd got the...

I took DD3 on Wednesday for her 2 week checkup with the ped. All is fine and no concerns, but the ped mentioned this "Rotateq", and to my understanding it's a vaccine or immunization or something for this rotavirus. I'm not even 100% sure on what rotavirus is, really, other than it can cause...

I'm expecting my first child. Can someone recommend a website or FAQ which has say the top 10 or 20 tips/hints/safety type information? For example, no blankets in crib, no bumpers after then can stand, etc. -Thanks

Well, I think the last time I got around to posting much was on my EDD back last Saturday and was busy complaining about it being my due date and absolutely nothing happening. Well, Tuesday night I had slight kind of cramping - which I've had before recently, so thought very little about it. I...

My wife got the Snow White DVD from the library last night, and after watching it, my kids started playing a game that was included on the second DVD where the kids could arrange different things such as lights, chairs, beds etc. in a room, changing the color and orientation. They seem to...

I am thinking of eventually getting my 7 yo son a Nintendo DS. I am concerned about the feature allowing him to hook up with people through a WiFi connection. I don't mind him playing with his friend, who lives a drive away, but I don't want him playing with random people and I don't want...

For those who have/have had children in schools which use uniforms, do you have any suggestions on how and what to buy? DD will be required to actually wear the full school uniform for parochial school K in the fall (instead of the "clothing that adheres to the dress code" that pre-K is...

#3 had grommets put in yesterday. A couple of hours afterwards he was running a mild temp (37.5C). They told me if it got worse to see theGP, which I've done today. She's prescribed antibiotics for infection, which I've started. He's now got a raging temperature, and the external ears are both...

Ugh... Today's my EDD with this one. I'm really so sick and tired of being pregnant. With my due date here right now and absolutely nothing, I'm not exactly thrilled haha Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to try and bring labor on?? I've tried everything I can think of... I've done...

BE FOREWARNED!!! The house below is cursed because the woman who owns the property abandoned her husband and children at very young ages in England and ran off with a rich man. Not only did she run off with a rich man but then both of them tried to whitewash him out and tried to steal his property...

My wife sent me in search of some wool diaper covers today, and all I can find are single ones for $15 to $20 each on Ebay. I figured they would be in the $5 to $7 range each in multi packs, but so far have not been able to find anything like this. I obviously don't want to buy them one at...
