I was listening to the radio and there was a man from the Heritage Foundation (a Conservative Group). This person is a Health Care specialist at the foundation. He pointed out that the difference between this bill and the one that...

mslena75 In your case, you are right...it isn't hurtful...but only because you plan responsibly and save money in the event that something DOES happen to you (good for you)! But the simple fact of that matter is that most can't or won't do what you're doing.

Is it a good thing to extend UC to 99 months? I think it will discourage people from looking for a job because they have some security and lots of free time. Many are working "under the counter" and enjoy it. What do you think...

mslena75 You make a very good point. We have to keep spending spending spending to get out of the hole. I think things are becoming very scary in this country, I can't imagine.

I've only had one for the past couple of years, and I absolutely love it. I think what I like the best is that I'm not tethered to the television...I don't have to be sitting down right at 8:00 to watch a show I like. It gives me...

mslena75 I have noticed that online TV watching is becoming more popular, like Hulu, for example. I have yet to take the plunge! I guess I would if I had to give up my DVR, though.

Ok, I must admit I am fired up about this one. I'm sure you have all seen these, they look just like leashes for PETS but people use them on CHILDREN. Generally it is a leash or cord type thing attached to what looks like a...

mslena75 We TEACH our children lots of things...that doesn't mean they are going to 'get' it...the 1st time or the 25th. It is YOUR opinion that it is lazy. Other people don't feel the same. I see 5 year olds in strollers, isn't THAT lazy?

mslena75 Well good for you, Little Miss Self-Righteous!!! Quick, someone give this lady parent of the century award, please! **INSERT EYE ROLL HERE*** Just because a parent uses a leash does not make them inattentive, by any stretch. I guess I need to quantify my...

Growing up, I was always alarmed by how little people seemed to care about learning about other languages and cultures. I thought that part of it may have been because it was a predominantly white town with very little cultural...

mslena75 While it is technically true that America does not have a 'native language', English is the predominant language. I'm not going to argue semantics, you know this to be true. Everything is done in English...newspapers, books, media, schools, etc. all utilize...

mslena75 I agree. I know many people who are horrible with both speaking and writing, and it IS their native tongue!

mslena75 That is excellent. I think one thing other countries have on the USA is that they make sure that their citizens are fluent in at least one other language. I wish that was the way of life here. And for what it's worth, from reading your post, I think your...

mslena75 Thank you for not being offended. I do think this could be a valuable tool for those wanting to improve their skills in English.

mslena75 I was not asking at all if you were experienced in using myLot. This is a perfect example, your English is very broken.

mslena75 How does using a leash equate to not taking care of your child? I'd rather have mine with one than have them run out in front of a car or run away from me in the mall.

mslena75 You have a 10 year old that isn't with you...well there you. Bet you never had to deal with the impossible toddler stage, did you? It is absolutely responsible for someone to use a child restraint if it going to keep their child out of harms way. And the leash...

I was just wondering who all was organ donors. I am myself. I am not going to need anything after I die so why not save someone else with it. I have 2 family members that have received organs from donors and I think it is...

mslena75 Actually those cards serve little benefit except to make your wishes known. There still must be consent from your survivors. Just because you have that card doesn't mean they HAVE to donate your organs. It would be better to add that to your living will or...

I do love trash TV, I'll admit it, and Maury is one of my guilty pleasures. I could watch the paternity test result shows all day. I have to wonder why these women choose to go on national television and air their dirty laundry...

mslena75 Yes, he still does them. I have my DVR set to catch them, I'd say there at least 2 episodes a week still. I'm with you...I think it's a free mini-vacation for a lot of the people on there.

mslena75 I do get emails from Betty Crocker, Kraft, and a few others. I guess I need to pay closer attention! I am lucky that my husband likes very basic food. Once I make something, if he likes it, it doesn't bother him if I cook it frequently.

mslena75 What country do you reside in? I didn't know what marmite was and had to Google it. I would assume it is similar to the vegemite that Australians favor? I used to have a penpal in Australia and she sent me some to try one time. I didn't care for it at all.
