I'm a grandmother. I became a grandmother last July. My son's fiance (they're not married) is WACKO!!! (Part RANT ALERT, part begging for advice.) These two met and, stupidly, got pregnant two months later. She has a son from a...

RebeccaScarlett Oh wow...what ever possessed him to create a joint account in the first place? I'm sure my parents worry about me. I met someone who had no job, car, etc, and we got pregnant 7 months later. (By choice. We loved each other, I thought he would be a good dad...

I mean, REALLY, who thinks $250,000 is middle class? I just read that polls show that most Americans consider anything above $150,000/year to be "rich" and I tend to agree with that assessment. Sure, I know there are some places...

RebeccaScarlett I really can't believe your suggestion. Everyone should try to live within their means. A person making 250, 000 a year makes the decision to put his 5 kids through college rather than making them work summers and save their own money. Suggesting that someone...

I'm not talking about physical bullying. I'm talking about teasing. That's what we called it back in the day. If someone teased you, you teased them back and learned how to defend yourself. Kids need a preview of what the world...

RebeccaScarlett The Canadian girl, Amanda Todd, was beautiful, in the way our society judges beauty. It didn't help her. She changed schools twice, and it didn't help her. She had an adult male stalking her online and shaming her because he was trying to blackmail her into...

Yesterday, the Canadian budget was delivered and they decided to do away with the penny. This fall, Ottawa will just be the final minting of the Canadian penny and then it will eventually fade into nothingness. what a boon for...

RebeccaScarlett I'm 25 and I'm salting away and trying to wisely invest every dollar that I can because I assume that by the time I retire there will be very little or nothing coming my way from the government. I'm below the poverty line but my family does without as much as...

Is there anything more worthless than those "participation trophies" that parents of little league sports are forced to buy every season? They mean nothing to the kids that get them (as evidenced by the fact most get destroyed...

RebeccaScarlett I hate that type of parenting. And sadly, I see it all the time. You should see the looks on rude little kids faces on the pool when I say: "I don't care what you do at home. When you are at MY pool you WILL speak to people respectfully, you WILL follow the...

Obama has no more authority to mandate religious institutions provide the means for employees to do things that go against the institution's doctrine than he has to mandate that taxpayers fund the paychecks of pastors.

RebeccaScarlett Ahh, this resolves my ignorance mentioned above. Thank you. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (which was a major amendment to our constitution in 1982) has several sub-sections that outline similar freedoms.

RebeccaScarlett Urban: thanks for the lesson but not only is English my mother tongue, but I have a University degree with my major being English. The reason "he" has been used as a universal pronoun is merely because, for most of history, women weren't considered...

RebeccaScarlett The fact that you immediately assume that it would be his business and not her business or their business shows me that you are sexist. So, I guess there will be no fuss from you if I open up a business and refuse to deal with anyone unless they are...

I've put this question to another group of people (on my own forum) so they'll probably drop in here as well but I wanted to put it to a wider audience. If someone (me, presumably) were to put together a site for writers - as...

RebeccaScarlett It's true that nothing is perfect--but you already see flooding from people in third world countries, so I don't think that would be any different. I could be wrong, but I feel like the end result would be better--since there is a minimum (livable wage for...

What is it about the Network Marketing Business Model that people hate so much? All it is is using word of mouth as a form of advertising. When you buy something you really like, you almost always tell someone about it. If you...
