tashanda that is so sad and it is absolutely ridiculous that that person was only fined for something so horrible there should have been some jail time involved or at least community service due to the severity of that animals condition.

tashanda Im not worried about the length of your response(smile) but the quality of it actually brought tears to my eyes. Of course I have heard of people who have been in situations like the young girl and her family but the way you described it was really touching. I...

This drives me nuts (and it's a pretty short drive)! I KNOW how to spell "window" and have spelled it correctly all my life. However, the past 6 months or so when I type "window" it nearly always comes out "winder". My relatives...

tashanda receive: it gets me everytime. that little rule that they teach you in school about the "i" before "e" except after "y" stumps me to no end. i usually change the spelling about 3 or 4 times before i can decide on which one looks right. and i'm the champion...

tashanda All are good tips but I would also like to add that instead of just responding to a topic read and comment on some of the things that others have said. Depending on your response this will prompt them to view your profile where they will find a list of your...

What I would like to talk about today is a pretty touchy subject, but I can't help but ask. Should woman be required to identify the father of her children?? So many talk shows lately have had those "who's your baby's daddy?"...

tashanda I think it should be left up to the woman, but she should know for sure who the father for medical reasons. Also a woman is only required to give hs name when she applies for benefits from the state.Why, because that is how they keep the financial...

has anyone else noticed that there has been a rise in murder suicides lately? At least once a week there is a story about a father killing the children and himself, what do you think about that?

tashanda good point. do you think it could have anything to do with the fact that each generation is more spoiled than the last and therefore aren't sure about how to react when they are stripped down to the bare necessities.
