I Want to Strangle Her

Jim Bauer @porwest (102970) • United States 2 Jul

I'm not a bad guy. Not really. I can be grumpy, but I'm not even really a get off my lawn kind of guy. I don't dislike kids. That doesn't mean I want to be around them 24/7. They can be annoying if you get too much...

clrumfelt Maybe try meeting the parents first if possible. The endless screaming might be why they send her outside.

clrumfelt It's great you have your sister in law to advise and give you emotional support during your transition. You can learn a lot from others who have already gotten through those challenges. Good luck.

Ignoring her

Benz @Mulena (18) 3 Jul

It’s only teaches her how to leave without you. Men thinks she’s suffering, but she’s actually adjusting. When her PEACE starts feeling better than your presence.. it’s over.

clrumfelt It's difficult to know the boundaries when someone is struggling through a period of adjustment. Just knowing you are there for her will help her be able to keep trying until she finds peace.

Walmart Can Do Better

Jim Bauer @porwest (102970) • United States 25 Jun

Did you know that a Walmart Supercenter, which are most Walmart stores anymore, keep roughly 2000 carts at each store? That's a lot of carts. So, it makes you wonder, when you go to your local Walmart, and the cart corrals are...

After All, I Gotta Pay for Supperunch

Jim Bauer @porwest (102970) • United States 28 Jun

I have a rule. Okay, it's probably not a rule. It's anal-retentiveness, or maybe even old age. I have routines, and things. If I eat something past 2 P.M., I consider my supper spoiled. Late lunches, you might call them....

They ran into her birth mother.

Amber @AmbiePam (100324) • United States 26 Jun

So you guys know my two nieces and nephew are adopted. Some of you may remember how the youngest, Annelyn (5), came to be adopted. Her birth mother poured boiling water on the lower half of Annelyn’s body, and was taken away. What...

clrumfelt That woman should not be allowed to have children under her care. If there is a fifth child, DCS should take it away. I don't know if she was just being sarcastic, but it seems she already wants to be rid of it.

Spaghetti Is Always Good Eats

Jim Bauer @porwest (102970) • United States 26 Jun

Spaghetti is one of those dishes that hits our household menu at least once a month. It just never fails to satisfy, and I think it's relatively cheap to make as well and goes quite far providing for more than just one meal from a...

Is Trump's stumbling on Air Force One a Show off or sign of old age?

Emmanuel Adelakun @ogbenishyna44 (479) 10 Jun

Donald Trump slumps slightly on his way to enter Air Force One and the internet has been set ablaze. Some people argue that the president was only trying to show off or make a movie out of it, others believe that he should slow...

clrumfelt For his age, President Trump has an incredible amount of stamina, but I do wish he could get more rest. Sometimes he seems to be everywhere at once. I don't know how he does it.

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (123557) • United States 24 Jun

How They Escaped

Amber @AmbiePam (100324) • United States 24 Jun

clrumfelt Your post takes me back to my dating days. My husband's mom always had a big Sunday dinner on the table when we came in from church. Usually roast beef and potatoes and coleslaw. She was such a good cook. I just made vegetable soup for lunch yesterday.
