I am two sons that want to watch wrestling (Monday night Raw), because the kids at school tell them about it. Of course they have wrestling figures and the wrestling ring, but isn't the wrestling to violent for kids in elementary...

abakers My kids are 5 and 6, so no they don't watch the news either. I know that its fake and rehearsed but kids at that age are very impressionable. I have also watched it growing up and I think that it is quite vulgar, some of the things they say and do.

abakers Thanks for that! Fortunately I have all of my core classes already. Done that 8 years ago. I am trying to get into the dental hygiene program or nursing program and had to take Anatomy 1 and 2 and that is what is kicking my butt right now. I managed to get...

My husband is obsessed with the game Everquest. He has been playing now for 2 years. When he is not working he is playing, he doesn't help with the kids, and he's not much of a husband these days. I understand that men like to...

I was thinking about all of the local businesses we have in our small town. We desperately need a coffee shop around here. The only place to get one around here is McDonalds. How much would it cost to start a coffee shop?...

coffee shop

start own business

abakers Thanks for the info, I live in a really small town that doesn't even have anything like that. I know that one could make a killing here if they were to open one.

I am a hardcore American Idol fan. I have watched every season. For some reason this time I don't feel that it is going to be as good. That could be because on the first 2 episodes most of the ones they showed were bad, but...

abakers He is a bit heartless and he gets on my nerves, but Paula gets on my nerves too. On the 1st episode she looked toasted. I just wish they would show more of the good ones instead of all of the bad ones.

abakers You don't understand the severity of that. If I were to delete the game he would just download again. If he found out that I did it, he would probably file for divorce. We have not went out as a couple in more than 6 months because he would rather play this...

abakers I have talked to Zach about it and he doesn't want to be moved up because of his friends. But if he continues I am afraid of being bored. They don't start the gifted and talented classes until the third grade. I just don't know what to do.

abakers Zach is very intelligent and mature but he doesn't want to leave all of his friends. What I am afraid of is that he may do good for a little while and then start to fizzle out. I don't want to work his little brain so hard that he ends up hating school, but...

abakers Sounds to me like you are jealous of your step kids. The kids aren't the problem, its the parents who raise them. They only do what they are taught. I have a step son and I am a step child of 20 years. The only way to take care of a step child is kindness...
