Is it sane for anyone to actually grieve for over a year? I have never lost a child, but a close friend of mine has. Her grieving process has lasted more than four years, and while she is getting on with life, there are times when her grief still consumes her. I can't imagine her loss (or Mrs. Sheehan's) and

I don't think he is criminally responcable, but finacially yes. I do think he should have to pay for the young mothers funeral, and establish a fund for the infants future. Putting him in jail/prison would serve no purpose whatsoever, especially since he was making an effort to stop the car. The daughter should get comunity servi

My husband and I have decided that we're going to have ourselves a date night once a week. Even if we're only going for a walk by ourselves, we're determined to get away from the kids for an afternoon or an evening and enjoy each other's company. Excellent plan! We try to do this too. I've heard of too many

She has stated that she does not want her Son's name associated with war efforts- so why should she be using other fallen soldiers names without family consent? Does seem a bit hypocritical, eh?

Pretend you're in a swimming pool floating on the top, you won't be bouyant until you fully relax and let go..that works for me! What a great analogy!

"frail and vulnerable"? I'm sorry... that's not the Cindy Sheehan that's ranting on MY television screen.

Aaaaaw... Happy Birthday, Henry! Jake's comment was so sweet. *s* We have a weimeraner (Woody) who's seen better days. He's about 15 now (in people years) takes arthritis meds and is deaf as a post, but we love him dearly. He's been a wonderful pet and friend. DH delivered him when he was born and has been with him ever since. Woody's been around longer than I have. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/JU/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 AL

Glad to see you didn't drop off the face of... JoeUser. I'm not as crazy about amusement parks as I used to be. Maybe it's the three kids I drag along - I mean, share the day with - now. LOL... all different sizes, so they can only go on certain rides... and I HATE waiting in line. My stomach apparently isn't what it used to be either. Hubby absolutely LOVES

Wrone Again-- The looser is the United States and our brave military. If you believe we are gaining control of the insergents in Iraq you are very mistaken. The only thing we are doing is killing our military. The terrorists must love you, col. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center

I just realized that... the link was wrong. GRRRRRRRRR. The story I meant to link to is this: Link I've fixed it above, too. Hate it when that happens... a victim of too many windows open.

Miller told authorities that he tried to push the brake pedal w

Aug. 15, 2005 — A Pennsylvania man is facing manslaughter and vehicular homicide charges after his 15-year-old daughter struck and killed a woman carrying a baby during a driving lesson. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to live in this situation... as the mother of the woman who was killed, as the girl who caused the death, or as the fath

All this talk about pineapple and I got inspired. Had Calypso Steak for dinner (is it ok to call it that? LOL). Marinated it in pineapple juice, soy sauce and garlic among other things. Mmmmmmmm. I promise... I didn't even call the grilled pineapple we had "Hawaiian"

Doesn't sound corny to me at all. It actually sounds like you've gotten a handle on the solution. I have a friend who has gone through a really rough year. She says that she's finally found comfort in realizing that God is in control, and that she just has to hang on for the ride. Fear keeps us from letting go and giving Him control. For many of us, as painful as the past is... it's familiar, and we'd rather have the familiar than face the fe

I do want to chime in on this blatant and apparent ignorant stigmatism and stereotyping by our northern brethren. Speaking as a Northerner (about as far North as you can get without being in another country), I'm wondering if this isn't a bit of the same. I may be off base here, but this seems to me to

Wouldn't THAT be nice?? Not sure why the drop in barrel price... but I don't hold out much hope for it to last. Have you seen a change in price at the pump today? I've not been out, so don't know if they've changed here or not. Best take advantage while ya can, eh?
