Mother-In-Law Name Calling

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 30 Dec 07

What would you do if your mother-in-law called your daughters (ranging in age from 15 down to 6) "b*****s"? Is it ever alright to call children b*****s? I am totally beside myself at this behavior and now have lost all respect for...

I just saw that the TB guy, Andrew Speaker, is in the news again.

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 8 Jul 07

When the story first broke I thought the whole thing seemed a little fishy. Does anyone else find it curious that Mr. Speaker has one of the rarest forms of tuberculosis, and his father-in-law just happens to be a specialist in...

Do you remember the anthrax in the mail scare that happened in 2001?

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 29 Mar 07

For some reason that issue popped into my head today and I cannot recall if officials ever found out who sent it. What was the source? My memory of it is a little cloudy, but I seem to recall something about a frozen pond and some...

Do you think the rat poison in the pet foods was put there on purpose?

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 28 Mar 07

I'm not sure what I think, but I know I wouldn't be surprized if it is found that someone put the poison in the foods on purpose. I can't imagine what would prompt a person to do such a thing, but in this day and age something...

Have you seen Sandra Bullock's new movie, Premonition?

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 16 Mar 07

I just saw it this afternoon. I liked it. It was a little difficult to follow because the main character's (Sandra's character)days were all out of order. I would have liked to have some things explained better, but I like Sandra,...

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 13 Mar 07

The other day I was driving my daughter to preschool and checked the price of gasoline at various stations along the way. By the time I had dropped her off and started back the way I came, the price of a gallon of gas rose 20...

Why are so many conservative talk show hosts so negative about Katie Couric?

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 25 Jan 07

I have always liked Katie Couric. Why do people rip on her about being the CBS Evening News anchor? I just don't get it. I don't watch the evening news much, but when I do, I watch Katie, and I find nothing offensive about her....

What purpose do Godparents serve?

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 23 Jan 07

The topic of godparents came up in my family the other day. My children do not have godparents; it was not a requirement at the time of their baptism. My husband has godparents, but they have not served any purpose. One of my...

What do you think about having a "casino night" for junior high students?

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 23 Jan 07

I was upset the other day when I read in my daughters' school newsletter that junior high students will be receiving invitations to a Mardi Gras casino party soon. My girls attend a Catholic school, so I couldn't believe they...

What do you think about the abducted Missouri boy being on Oprah?

SimplyMe @SimplyMe (373) • United States 19 Jan 07

It seems a little odd to me to have the boy on Oprah when he has only been home for a few days and hasn't even discussed what happened to him with his parents. It seems to me that the parents first concern should be taking care of...

Does anyone here know about the group Circle of Friends?

It was a "religious" group that was active in the Columbus, Ohio area several years ago. I am trying to find out if that group is still active or not.
