I just find that calling something "ridiculous" is a good way to dismiss someone statements/opinions without having to really think about them and why the person made them. shades, I apologize if I portrayed that I had not given your statem thought. In fact, I believe I gave it a good deal of thought in my response even to the point of citi

dharmagrl He portrays himself as her victim - poor Rusty, saddled with a crazy wife. Poor Rusty, whose wife killed all of his babies. Poor, poor Rusty....yeah, right. Perhaps if he had been a better husband, a better friend, a better human being.....perhaps we wouldn't be discussing how his psychotic wife drowned their kids. </

(remember it was you who called my opinion ridiculous, not the other way around). I called your "statement" ridiculous. Not you or your opinion. I have no hard feelings, neither am I upset with you. I enjoy our lively debate.

Houston has unfortunately had the honor of receiving this infamous reward for many years in a row. Last year, we lost the title, but I see that Houstonians indulged their way back to the top. I am going to create a new home workout video that practices all the motions needed to change a tire in 6 min. Kill two birds with one stone....

Andrea and Rusty are perpetrators. The only question up for debate is which one of them is more vile. Agreed Para, they are both perpetrators. However one is and will be incarcerated for the rest of her life. The other is experiencing daily liberty and granted interviews for monetary gain.

As a husband and father, I have identified a few days when my wife was a little overwhelmed and possibly a little more time alone with the kids would not be a good thing (although not to the degree of the Yates situation). I stagger time with each of the kids and get them out and about and give my wife a break. Sometimes it's as simple as letting her relax in the tub an

Rusty made commitments of Andrea's time and resources without being willing to back them up with his own full time support, an attitude that is far too prevalent in this day and age. He shirked his responsibilities as a man and a father, and then played the role of the victim as Andrea slowly deteriorated. I personally believe he was MORE culpable than Andrea, because,

shadesofgrey I just don't believe that sane people kill other people. This is a ridiculous statement. Soldiers kill other people. Selfish people kill other people. Religious zealots kill other people. These people are not insane. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quot

dharmagrl He did nothing, not a damn thing, to help his wife. He even had them living in a freakin' BUS at one point. He merrily went off to work every day and left her at home alone with those kids. She got no respite from caring for them, she even home schooled them...and all this took place when she was having major depressive periods and hal

thatoneguyinslc Unless he is the Amazing Kreskin and can read minds, i don't think the actual murder is his fault. You don't have to be psychic to understand your wife needs help when she calls you at work day after day telling you she is hearing voices. You don't have to read someone's mind to help someone who is insa

I don't know about "more so", but I'll agree that his inaction probably did contribute to the brutal murders. Para, if you really read into the story, you would see he was severely culpable. It wasn't just his inaction. He sold all of their stuff at some point and made her live in a bus with five kids. A bus....with five kids....that would dr

Dharma, as you know, I too am a huge fan of the pixie cut. Zombie likes everything I do to my hair, so far. We call it "the mistress" factor. Only one time did I receive a negative response. I was considering going all black, having my hair straightened, and cut like a flapper from the '20's. My hair has a natural wave that I absolutely dispise. It isn't curly enough to look cute, and not straight enough to look sleek. So before I went through with the whole staightening process, I
