Sex & Teens in Parenting JoeUser Forums

I recently bought a lap top because I could never get on the computer because my teenage son, Adam, who is 14 is always on with his interests in Anima & games, I'm glad he has a hobby so I do allow him time on it, but with restrictions as to time and sites. The old clunker I have at home for the past three years is a loaner from work because from time to time I have had to bring work home. Our home computer that we own, had problem accessing the internet because it is so old

Reply to I'm a volunteer - be nice to me! in Life Journals Stardock Forums

I'm proud of you for sticking to your guns, going out there and putting your paintbrushes where they can be seen! Good for you! I do fliers, if you want my help, I'll gladly volunteer some free sets for you! I've done some on the side this summer as a part of a business start up that I began but had to halt for a bit (did some work for a car company that was really a great eye opener!) I think approaching a dealership to see if they want your services is a great idea!

[quote]Best library I have EVER seen was at a public elementary school in North Vancouver. I forget the name of the school. The librarian had good selection of books but also an incredible collection of just about everything. It was like a combination, library, old-style study, museum. It was the kind of place that would really fuel a child's imagination (or an adult, because it did for me).[/quote] That is great! I like it when a library is like that!

Reply to Predatory Lending! in Blogging Stardock Forums

You're lucky you were able to walk away without throwing yourself into the hole that guy was digging! It's awful what they do and so many times a lot of people fall for it. I've been down that raod before (not for a car), I'm not ashamed to say. As level-headed as you think you are, there are times those sales people talk a sweet talk and you fall hook, line and sinker!

[quote]Most local libraries have limited stock on hand, but what they ALL share is the ability to get you any little book your heart desires via the inter-library loan system. [/quote] Yes, they do that here too. It is very useful!

Not what I was looking for at all. What's the point of going t

Reply to Molested on the School Bus in Blogging Stardock Forums

[quote]I agree that a human bus monitor would be way more effective than a camera. A camera would just be used as evidence to prosecute, not a way to prevent anything from happening. Realistically, I wouldn't want a bus driver to have his attention anywhere but the road. It seems to me that asking the driver to effectively monitor the students is courting a traffic accident.[/quote] Yes, I believe so too. It would be more effective to have a bus monitor on board, but of course wi

Fume! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I'm laughing at myself now, but I was fuming a bit an hour ago! I still love the library, but they can be a lot of pain when it comes to charging fees! Remember those dvds and books I mentioned in my other article....? Yeah, I received a phone call, right after I wrote the other one (though my views still remains!) my daughter had a missing disk in one of her returns. I usually check the cases, but being in a hurry, I forgot to do that this time! </p

[quote]politics has become business where capital to sell the product is required, and no one can compete with the already established parties because they have way greater capital.

Antiquated....? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

After picking up my son from school, I told him I was going to stop at the library because his sister has books that are due today, and we both have DVDs to return as well. We ran inside of the library after finding parking, which took a few minutes longer than usual, apparently because of voter registration, and it being the last day in our state for voting registration, so many people were trying to get registered before 10pm tonight. Anyway, my son said, "Who borrows

Reply to So Who's Ready? in Politics Stardock Forums

But would it make sense? It seems to me, and this is just my humble opinion not being a political follower, per se, that it is because so many people choose to not take sides, to not get involved with not even their local city, county and state politics why there are so few to choose from when it comes to the choices that are aviailable. How many do not participate in anything, when it comes to making decisions on a local level in their constituence to make a difference, even if i

It is rough and yes the reasons some people have as to why they are voting makes no sense. I wish they, the politicians would get to the job at hand, governing and get their heads out of their asses!
