I was flipping through the channels and happened to catch the newest reality show on Fox.....Nanny 911. The idea sounds interesting....a nanny helps parents deal with children who are having behavior problems. Since I am currently dealing with a child in the throws of terrible twos, I thought, "What a fantastic idea! Maybe I could get some tips for dealing with MY

I know that it's hard to be positive when you see so many evading their duties, but you will get through this. just feel free to vent to us here and get help when you need it. And remember that it could be worse...Just remember how much you love each other, then you can get thorugh it. You will appreciate having him all the more when he is there......

Texas....good point. but the images of the soldier's caskets can be used to further a political cause. If JK or GWB had used an image in their campaign it would still affect the soldier's families......

I think the switching mom show is the most obnoxious.....by far. i have to admit though, that I saw this show last season.....there were a few women who had been battered and/or suffered with one body part that really affected their self esteem.....(Teeth were jacked up, severe scarring, misshappen noses) I fully support someone who wats to fix a body part that they are self concious about. ( I was fortunate enough to have the Army fix my ja

Thanks for all the responses. To respond to those who are in favor of using images of soldiers' caskets (and or bloddy bodies)....If the family chooses to release the photos, that is their choice. The decision to "censor" the images was made out of respect to the families who choose to greive in private. There are no identifying marks on the caskets that would allow the media to seek approval from the family before airing the picture, th

Since I have too much respect for Greywar to hijack his thread, I figured that I would rant a bit on my own time. In a recent article about pathetic leadership in the military, there was a comment about how... [quote]i immediately wondered how much of that attitude flows outta the administration's insistence on keeping the president away from dover, the em

Thanks for saying this. Most officers are self centered and obtuse at best. I would much rather have you (or another REAL person) supporting my family than the insincere bragarts who are mugging for cameras. I hope that no officer ever tries to use me for personnal gain again...it happened when I was active duty and I'll be damned if I let some officer try to use me as publicity for themselves again.....especially at my husband's homecoming....

you can still make Bush listen, he can't ignore a good over 40% of the country he rules! Write him, tell him you want want your husbands back from war! Call him, picket him, nag him... Yeah, let's do that. *Sarcasm* I know that when I was deployed, the soldiers who had family members hysterically writin

All I have to say is, you are doing a good job. Kids don't need to see their parents providing outragous parties and gifts to show up the neighbors and mortgaging thier house for unnessicary items. Your kids will be more well-rounded, balanced and fiscally responsible if you teach them NOW that you shouldn't waste money or live to excess.

Don't be too hard on him. i made a similar mistake...sneaking up on my husband in Wal-mart. (Innocently trying to surprise him with a hug) and he nearly slammed me into the floor before he realized it was me. Very jumpy people shoudl never be surprised or startled.....

Well said. You get an insightful for this. I think too many of us would be horrified if our children actually spoke to us in the same way we speak to them. I am very cautious about what and how I say things....having a two year old "parrot" really reminds me that kindness and respect is always a good choice...

Sorry to hear about the ID induced stress. Just remember...if you are really lucky, you will get it replaced and THEN find the old one. Then you have one for your car (for getting in the gate) and one for your purse! I keep leaving mine in the car (I take it out to go through the gate) and then having to go all the way back because my doctor won't see me if I don't have an ID...and hospital parking sucks.....sigh.
