I don't know if I'd say "reckless", but they are more idealistic, think they will never die, and truly want to serve the country. For many though, the military is a chance to get started on a real career. Back when my father and others his age went into WWII; there was really no alternative...

I agree that with this responsibility (of being in the service) and with acts of maturity, should come "privileges". If handled responsibly, that too could be having some drinks. If you can vote, does that not imply that you can act responsibly? (well, theoretically anyway :) ) However...

This is sad to me. Sandra lives around these parts (when I'm in Texas) and owns restaurants here. She may have a home here still, though I'm not sure. What a terrible way to ruin her triumphant academy win. I would be so upset and furious. Evidently he doesn't think he needs to be...

This could have been SO, SO MUCH WORSE as far as human life taken. So many things fell into place like the practiced escape route, the fact that the plane hit an area of the building not leased, the Iraq veteran who came by and saved 5 people. I know they are all still in shock and trying to...

That's scary, as I hear meth use is common in many areas of many states.

I don't care for that particular photo of him; but he looked great in his recent movie (I forget the name; about the Great Depression). He also did his usual great job of acting. He doesn't ask for much publicity, so he remains mysterious and alluring IMO. He's come a long way from...

I felt so sorry for the people in that area when this terrifying stalking and killing was going on. How could anyone have a conscience and do what he did, in addition to training some one vulnerable to do it with him. Good riddance to him!

This is the website that has been given me to follow what's happening. PLEASE PRAY FOR THE DEAD AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THE VALIANT DOCTORS, NURSES, POLICE, AND AMBULANCE DRIVERS WHO WILL BE WORKING TO SAVE THESE PEOPLE THE NEXT FEW HOURS, NIGHTS, AND DAYS. PLEASE PRAY...

Your goose??? That's hilarious, PeteyGirl. "You had to let them in or they'd honk and wake the baby." :) Been there, done that long ago, but I've never had a Goose, just cats, dogs or gerbils. Of course now I remember our first dog, a Basset Hound, when we both worked all day - we left...

It's best ALWAYS to have separate bathrooms. The one thing I hate about going on vacation is SHARING A BATHROOM WITH (ta da!! THE BATHROOM HOGGER) I mean, what am I supposed to do when I need to go? Use the trashcan and keep Charmin by the bed????? so usually I RUN in and use it before he...

OMG!!! That's unbelievable. (ejector man) Well, I've been laughing alot at this, but I think I need to go get some things done. One advantage of older age is WISDOM, and I've learned that I don't usually win contests.

Me too! People and family can be amazingly supportive if someone finally admits they need some help. But alcohol is very addicting, and a popular social activity, so obviously people get dependent on it, for relaxation or temporary relief from stress and depression, and it's really hard to...

I hold your "props" Tricia if you'll hold mine. Maybe it could be a team type situation. Maybe then I could could consider the flight to New York, but I know if I "scream" too much on the plane I might get kicked off. And speaking of Airplane bathrooms - I DO NOT use them, no matter how...

I would be more than HAPPY to be a Charmin ambassador! I'll call them on the phone right now. Do they take cute little 61-year-old mother's and teachers? I've gone to the bathroom or "taken them to bathroom" in every possible nightmarish situation or "pleasant" situation possible. I've...

"I don't want to hurt anyone" If only more people would do/be encouraged to do this. Good for her!!!! The first step in solving this problem is ADMITTING IT! I hope she will go to a program and get help and support from family and friends...
