Mom With Stage 4 Breast Cancer Denied Custody of Kids in Bitter Battle {ParentDish}
May 11th 2011 2:45PM I am horrified by this judges ruling. My granddaughter just lost her mother to cancer after a 13 year battle. I would have never thought about taking her from her home let alone allowing her to live with her non-custodaial father. Our daughter in law as a great mom and I don' think that granddaughter lost out on anything. She is an hornor's student in an honors program and also plays fast pitch softball for her high school team. If anyone had tried to do that to then, my son would have had a fit and all family members would join as one to fight it.
The Judge's action may also affect the woman's health....stress can make cancer worse and forcing her to have to change doctors, too, is just icing on the cake of stress. I hope they will appeal this ruling. It is a cruel ruling and heartless.
The children will suffer by not being there with their mom. It will cause them more undue harm than seeing what she is going thought. At least being there and supporting their mother gives them a sense of compassion and can be a learning tool. Not to mention the stress it will cause these children, Shame on the Judge. Can they recall the judge? If she is elected, I would try my best to recall her.
She Found Out Her Fiance Was Gay {MyDaily}
Jan 5th 2011 12:18PM Being a daughter of a "messed" up relationship, I can relate to her. Most of my years growning up I had no idea that my father who was still living with my mother was gay. I asked him why he married to begin wiht and all he could say was he wasn't ready to come out of the closet in the 1940's.... While this was I am sure the case, he didn't need to marry either. My mother only found out years into the relationship when he was arrested for solicitation in a park... he told her it would never happen again. I don't think his still living parents ever found out...nor did I until years later after they were divoriced. I was left stund and confused when I found out at age 18....that is when he chose to leave my mother, who by then was suffering from RA severly. It messed me up for about 10 years... but to find out before one marry's, I think is a true blessing. It's not always easy to see into a person's soul, nor know who they truely are. They have to want to tell you...and tell themself, too. At least today it ok to be gay and who you are....that of course hasn't always been that way. I just wish if a person is "gay" they live their true life style and not drag others into it not knowing. I am so glad the "gay" community can live openly and know that most of the rest of us do not harbor hate against them. They are fine the way they are. They don't need to change. It's us who are straight that just need take them as they are and be happy for them.
Eddie Murphy's Ex-Wife Nicole is Deep in Debt {BV Black Spin}
Jan 2nd 2011 3:34PM Silly woman, anyone with any good sense knows you put that money in a trust account and then have the trust folks send you a monthly payment...Surely she could have lived off of 200,000 a year broken into 12 payments a year... I know I could. Or for that matter she could have even taken 300,000 a year over 12 months...that would give her 25,000 a month to live on. I could live on that much and be a very happy camper. Sadly, she went on an spending spree that has left her dead broke... Next the IRS will come looking to take it's share. She will end up in jail, if it does because she can't begin to pay any taxes owed. She needed to talk to an estate planner before she spent all of that money.
Eight-Year-Old Jets Fan Reportedly Tackled at Game By Adult Browns Fan {Fanhouse NFL Blog}
Nov 17th 2010 6:46PM As a football fan and a grandmother of a seven year old boy myself, I would have split, too, but I might have turned around and caught the thug of a Brown's fan on my cell phone camera and then after leaving, drive by a police station and turned the idiot in to them.... No one hurts my grandchildren. What kind of man or should I say no real man tackles a child... I hope they can locate this immature so called adult or he has the smarts to turn himself in for doing this to a little boy. What a creep. Being drunk isn't an excuse. He needs to pay this child some cold hard cash and to community service time for his wrongs...and go to AA meetings. And should be banned from the Browns games and lot for at least one year.
Texas Running Back Tre' Newton Suffers Career-Ending Injury {Fanhouse NCAA Football Blog}
Nov 17th 2010 11:37AM As a huge Big 12 fan and a Mizzou Alumni, I really hate to see young people knocked out of a game, but that is part of it. That being said, one game is one thing, but having to end a promising career before it even really started is yet another... but he can still get an excellent education and go on with his life in a field that he loves. Continuing to play for him sadly isn't a good option. I am glad he is listen to his doctor's and his parents. I am sure his father is acutely aware of the issues at hand and may have been able to reason with him, if there were any doubts about staying and playing. I do believe this young man made the right choice. I wished more of the kid's would do that, too. A game, no matter how much you love playing it, isn't worth dying for or loosing your thinking skills over. I love football and I don't want much to change in the game. Just wished they could make a better and safer helmet. Injuries will happen no matter what.
Meredith Maran's Lie -- I Accused My Dad of Incest ... and I Was Wrong {Lemondrop}
Oct 13th 2010 10:51AM As someone who had to deal with this very real issue, it kills me when other's who didn't really go though it have lied about it. It damages those of us with real claims. I was molested when I was 5. Not by my father, not by mother or a sibling, but by a friend of the family...a grandfather like figure to me. I have had to deal with it all of my life. Then to make matters worse, my own father did the same to my son... and he has had to deal with it, too... and so the pain, the very real pain goes on.
I never could do anything about what happened to me. When I told my parents at the time that I didn't want to go with Woody (his nickname) they couldn't understand why. They thought he was able to do things for me that they couldn't due to tight money. Little did they know. Had they, I am sure they would have killed him...but I didn't have a clue to explain what was happening or how it made me feel extremely uncomfortable. He was a widower with no children. He was a close family friend...he remarried, he moved away, he had died by the time I understood what had happened and that it was totally wrong. No way to confront this person.... And this is often times the case. I think that is why so many pick on the very young. Who is going to believe a child they are thinking. And back in the 1950's, that was the case.
I have been to counseling. And it does help, but it is always back there in your mind...it never goes away. I have been able to "move" on...but it never leaves you. The same goes for my son. Thank heavens that unlike so many people I never turned to drugs or booze. I did marry....it's been 44 years of a very excellent one. But the facts still remain and so does the pain in many ways. Talking about it helps. So if it did happen to you, talk about it.
Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee Regrets Nazi Tattoos {PopEater}
Sep 16th 2010 4:53PM If she now has issues, and well she should...after all good places like the VMA awards wouldn't let her in with them...then she can do something about them. laser them off...not cheap and I am sure not fun, but it works...takes time, doesn't happen overnite according to articles I have read. I never got any tatoo's and never wanted any. My daughter has 2 on her ankles...one for her marriage and the other for her son...at least they are small. I think they are tackie...but maybe that is my age showing. Glad hubby never got them either...nor my son.
Miami Mom to Sue Hospital for Performing Unwanted Circumcision on Newborn {ParentDish}
Sep 15th 2010 12:04PM But, I beg to differ with her. He will be less likely to get infections that often times happen to boys who didn't get circumcised. The fact that the hospital admitted it was their error and the fact that they changed the paperwork to avoid this happening again is all that is really needed...other than not charging her or her insurance company for the mistake. She is trying to get something for nothing...little does she know any money received by the parents for the child in this action will more than likely be put in a trust account that neither she nor her husband can touch until the child is 21, thank goodness.
Why We Still Make It in the USA {AOL Small Business}
Sep 6th 2010 9:48AM Amen to all of your comments...and we do buy American when humanly posible and sell American made products if we can located them. And yes, I strongly believe in the Unions, too...and will gladly pay a few cents more to buy or sell American made and Union made products. At least we know they are made right and don't have things in them that should harm us....unlike things that are made in China, etc.
