suthernsmooth Hi there. I'm not sure why it always feels like whenever you try and do things by the rules, the powers that be are always changing them! I am truly sorry that you're having to deal with all of this nonsense on top of trying to take care of your children and...

suthernsmooth Hi there! Wouldn't it be nice if everyone understood insomnia? I know exactly where you're coming from on this one. I too have family members that have said the same thing about me. The way I see it is this; I don't have to go to bed at 9 p.m. and get up at 6...

suthernsmooth Hi Lady; I wish I had the answer for you. My Son played T-Ball thirteen years ago and the parents and other adults acted really bad then; I can only imagine how much they've de-evolved since then. I can remember this one cute little boy that was on his...

Is your spouse a bed hog

Ms Michelle @lenapoo (678) • United States 16 Apr 07

My husband starts off on his side of the bed when we fall asleep and then later on I might wake up to find that I am literally hanging off the edge of the bed because he has scooted all the way over onto my side.

suthernsmooth Hi Lenapoo; I have another angle on this bed hog situation. My Hubby was the worst kind of bed hog years ago. He was always pushing me over and over until I was hanging onto the edge of the bed. I'd have to try and wake him enough to push him back over to his...

suthernsmooth Hi Aprilgrl; I have seen several tornadoes, some far away enough to be safe and some up close and personal. I grew up in Kentucky and have lived in Missouri and now I am in Arkansas; so I've been through my fair share of them. Just last year we had one day...

What extend of exemption is appropriate to a murder convict?

lmerakino @lmerakino (26) • Saudi Arabia 17 Mar 07

I catch a news last week about a deaf murder convict that mutilated a deaf person. Her defense say she should be exempted from death punishment since she has a disability. Do you think this is enough reason to exclude her the...

1 response

suthernsmooth Hi. I would agree with you on this one. It shouldn't matter that this person is deaf. If she was aware enough to mutilate someone, then she shouldn't have any sort of special treatment just because she's deaf. The person that she murdered was deaf, where is...
