I know someone who lost her job a couple months ago. She had surgery, and her recovery has taken so long that she exhausted her vacation days, and she was let go. She now has no income and can't afford the medicine she needs to get better. Some people and I would like to help her but don't… Read More »

Ugh! Accidentally just replied to an email when I meant to forward it on to someone else! I then had to send and apologetic and explanatory email to the first person. Thankfully I didn't say anything harmful or uncomplimentary in the first email, but still I was really embarrassed. Have you ever… Read More »

I just found out yesterday that a sexual predator moved into the neighborhood where my brother-in-law lives with his wife and three young daughters. My husband wonders what they’re going to do about it. What CAN you do about it? What would YOU do if you found out a sexual predator lives down the street? Read More »

A thirteen-year-old girl in the Netherlands is planning to spend two years sailing around the world alone but is being blocked by social services who question her father's competence. Would you, as a parent, allow your child to make a landmark journey, whether on land or by sea? Would you support your child in achieving his or her dream, whatever it might be, assuming he or she had the skill and experience to achieve it successfully? Read More »

I read in the newspaper today about children’s book authors (and I suppose book authors in general) featuring more plus-sized protagonists in their plot lines these days. The story talked about some specific books — “Models Don’t Eat Chocolate Cookies” and “Food, Girls and Other Things I… Read More »

I just read an AP story that appeared in my local newspaper about concerned and strict parents who will not allow their children (girls mostly) sleep over at other children’s houses. Whatever their motivations — they don’t know the other child’s parents, they’re worried about lack of… Read More »

Yahoo! posted an article this morning about how President Obama was, indeed, born in Hawaii, despite rumors that his birth certificate was somehow forged or mistaken or in any other way untruthful. Well, I'm glad that our now-president, the man who has been leading our country for over six… Read More »

What do you get the couple that might have everything? I was invited to a "meet the newlyweds" party for a friend I've known since toddlerhood. I couldn't attend his wedding, so I really want to go to this party so I can meet his wife for the first time and see him again… Read More »

My husband's family is visiting for a few weeks, and I feel like if I don't spend all my waking time with them they'll be offended, but I just don't have time to put my life on hold for three weeks to entertain them. What do you think? Is it all right if I tell them, "Look I have a lot of work to do and can't watch movies with you every night"?
This is a new situation for me, so I don't have any previous experience to work from. It's not like we invited them over in the first place and now have the obligation of entertaining house guests. Let me explain: Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (21) | Blog

This area is for writing/talking about whatever we choose (please keep your virtual voices to a low, respectful hum.) I’ve been wanting to start another post about books ’n’ stuff, but since I’ve noticed how some other bloggers have been starting posts specifically for chatting or leaving… Read More »
