Have you ever heard of Darfur? Well I hadn't until Tuesday night when I saw Nick Clooney speak at Wilmington College. Darfur is a country in Sudan. In this country their people are being slaughtered. Women are raped by the militia...

lburns70 Believing that we cannot stop it is a negative attitude. If your country was in crisis you wouldn't want people to think the same, that they couldn't help stop your crisis. It takes more that one country to stop things like this. Darfur does not have the...

lburns70 Thanks, I took two years in school and like you it was 25 years ago. I thought the English language was difficult at times but Spanish seems just as hard.

lburns70 Thanks. I want to learn Spanish because people of Latino origins are becoming more and more in our area. I know they learn our language but I would like to learn it as well. It is becoming more and more needed it the Social Work field that I am in.

My daughter just recently had a sonogram at 20 weeks and it showed that the baby has a choroid plexus cyst on his brain. We were told that it will go away and because her quad screening results were negative that there is no risk...

lburns70 I havent heard of it either until then. If she decides to do the sonogram it would be between 28 and 30 weeks. I guess about 1 in 100 babies get it. I am sure that things will be ok. It was pretty scary though when we heard brain and cyst.

lburns70 Thank you, I hope that I am a good grandparent. I find that opening up helps me to help her through her time of need. She can relate and see what I have gone through.

I have a 15 year old that is pregnant. She seems to be doing well with this but it is hard on the rest of the family. Has anyone been through this?

lburns70 That is sad. I cant understand why parents put their other son out. They should have opened their hearts and home to both sons. It is sad how the couple had the baby and never offered to help. At least Robert can be proud of his accomplishments.

lburns70 Yeah I hope they do. It will take time for everything to get straightened out. It is a big adjustment for everyone. I hope that she does grow up when the baby is born.

lburns70 Thats a good idea. They are always wanting a ride somewhere. I will have to try that and see how that works. If they want a ride than they will clean up their messes.

lburns70 She wants to get a job but I told her to wait until after the baby is born. No one will hire a pregnant teen and then when the baby is born and she can work I can babysit.
