Marie Coyle Originally, it was reported on our news as a man in a black truck. From what I have been able to discover so far by checking back, it was a woman in a black Jeep. I did see a picture of the woman with police and she was handcuffed, however she was taken to the...

Marie Coyle @kaylachan A few years ago, a middle age fellow drove his car straight in to a local store. His brakes completely failed, according to investigators. A few people badly hurt but no deaths. And about twenty years ago, a man my Dad was good friends with had a...

Marie Coyle I have no idea. Hopefully the authorities will find out why he did it, and all such things needed for an investigation. What does it prove when people do these shootings? I know mental illness is a real thing.

Marie Coyle @Juliaacv You know, sometimes I think in today's world, raising children is different than it was when we were kids. And I know of many children (mostly grandchildren belonging to people I know) that are not being actually ''raised'' by a human or two. They...

Marie Coyle I have no idea. They have released absolutely no information yet on the driver, except to say he was unhurt. I suppose there is a CHANCE it could be an accident...but to me that seems unlikely.

Marie Coyle I heard about that on the news, just unbelievable that anyone is that cruel and heartless to do that on purpose. I'm sure sorry...it's hard to even think about.

Marie Coyle @sallypup Trying to restore a plaster wall is so, so messy and difficult. I'm all for drywall. After helping with remodeling more than one home, I don't appreciate plaster, either. It's authentic, pretty, and...hard to keep up with, unfortunately.

Marie Coyle @wolfgirl569 Ours is very similar to yours. This year there were a lot of days that the nights were way, way down in temps and then the days would be nice. And it does seem like we've had more big winds than ever before.
