I think there are many more "Caylees" out there than a lot of people realize. I have seen my fair share of girls getting pregnant but not wanting to grow up and act like somebody's mother. The child gets treated like an accessory. Mommy isn't going to set up playdates for her, she's going to...

My MIL is 60 years old and otherwise in perfect health. A member of our church had both his knees replaced and, like your neighbor, was recovered within a year's time. The hospital here is one of the most prestigious in the country. My MIL did not have "poor surgery" but instead is having...

This is not true. My MIL had a knee replacement last year. She is in severe pain. Her doctor can not figure out what the issue is. She is going for a consult with another doctor and they are probably going to have to go back in. Her doctor says that while most patients do not have these...

Just a public service announcement: Those "milestone" charts represent averages. If your child or a child you know is NOT doing the things listed for their age, it is time to have an evaluation done because that child IS behind where he should be for his age. Most children from financially...

I think there was an issue with Casey spending the night at the boyfriend's and leaving Caylee at home. Cindy might have told Casey she needed to get her tail home at night with her baby. Caylee was Casey's meal ticket. She was not in college, I don't think she even made it through high...

Most educators have ZERO training on how to handle gifted children (the real ones not the straight-A teacher-pleasers in the public school "gifted" programs"). Yes, my child was pre-reading before 1 year and was reading a whole slew sight words by 18 months. By 22 months she could read "Hungry...

No, that is pre-reading. I have a kid that was an early reader. At Caylee's age she was reading picture books (ones she had never seen before), at 4 she was reading Little Women. Most "educators" would do serious harm to a real early reader.

Fans are still going mad about this. Close to 30k lbs of nuts so far. CBS may be close to a decision. We are not giving up!

And don't forget the Hollywood Reporter ad that the money was raised for overnight.

You sign our petition we'll sign yours:)

I know how relentless you WSers can be. Join the fight! Since learning that Jericho was not put on CBS's fall lineup, hundreds of thousands of fans have already banded together in an effort to save the show. Almost 20,000 pounds of nuts (yes, legumes) and counting have been ordered and are...

I had a very early reader, and we never could spell things out the way most parents do with their kids. Makes life interesting to say the least. She's 5 now too, and I have caught her trying to read posts here before when I'm on here. She thinks it's neat that people want to "play detective"...

I am so so glad this guy is behind bars. The sad thing is that the cult he heads up is still fully functional. I want to make it clear that I am not talking about the LDS faith but of the "spinoff" cult that Jeffs was leading. To think they got him in Sin City....how appropriate!

LOVED The Karr Debacle article! I was sitting and reading those emails late last night then came to my senses and realized what I was doing. I will admit I was a *tad* upset at the outcome becuase there hasn't been a case I've been into in awhile. But, now Warren Jeffs has finally been...

I have mixed feelings on this one. After reading the emails I could understand the way Mary Lacy described her feelings. One minute thinking no way, and the next a 50-50 chance maybe he did it. If it is true what was said about the 5 year old girl in the Thai school, I can understand the Thai...
