You can't make money if your work from home site disappears from the net. For a while, I have been reading that People String was a questionable site with lots of "Red Flag" activities; when I tried to sign in and work a bit I...

roberten Research your choices carefully before joining; the best advise I can offer is to go slowly and look long. There are a lot of opportunities out there (good and bad) but you should fair better if you do your research first.

roberten At least you dine with those who are willing to tip others for providing good service and that is a good thing.

roberten Here, here! celticeagle, I understand your point of view; you are truly a wise tipper. You are a real person who lives in the real world and you've still got heart. The one point I'd like to differ with you is regarding you never having gotten a tip; that may...

roberten mariaperalta, I know lots of people do not feel obligated to tip at all, but like you, I do try to tip at least 10% for good service. If the service was great, I try to tip more. We should not take advantage of others to satify our greed, it's bad...

roberten ladym33, you are so insightful. I think his family has agreed to lay him to rest next to his wife and maintain care of both graves, but I did not think about the property ever changing hands outside of the family. Anyone who agreed to purchase could maybe have...

roberten It is the nature of the media, silverfox09, sensational stories sell. Sometimes I wonder about their methods too; this kid will forever be linked to this drama...so sad.

roberten Point well taken, ladym33. I say the mother of the child in question subject herself to an on-air interview to defend her position and I gotta say, I would not have had the nerve to do that. Their has to be something that we, the general public, doesn't know...

roberten I agree with checking the company out and then checking it again. Don't be discouraged, but do not be scammed either.

roberten The ones that are featured go as far as they can to get their kids noticed. I don't know what they are thinking....oh yea, cash cows, not kids. I guess this dad has a valid point and cause to be worried.

roberten I don't think some of these mothers are seeing straight; Sometimes it seems to be more about their dreams than the kids. I just don't get it; aren't we suppose to protect our kids? I just don't get it.

roberten STOUTjodee, I believe it is a combination of the times (being part of the "me" generation) and upbringing. Each generation seems to lose a bit of parenting skills; you can't teach what you don't know. It is more common to not use manners and so has become more...

roberten I think this is not the life little children were meant to live; they are trying to please there parents; their parents seem to be living the dream. I don't think the show will go away too soon unless people stop watching. The entire thing is just sad.

roberten So well said, LovingMyBabies, so well said. I totally agree with your point of view. That show is a platform for some of the parents to live out their dreams through their children. This is show business for profit, not pageants; the children are the ones who...

roberten mommyboo, your insight is refreshing. I think the focus is all in the wrong place concerning this issue. I feel this is a case of a parent behaving badly and the other using poor judgment. Mom should hang up the costumes and let her daughter be a kid. When she...
