Open gash on heel

webeishere @webeishere (36313) • United States 5 Aug 08

Here is a photo of my heel which has a piece of flesh that I need to get rid of and help the opening close up. This is not gross by the least. This has been like this since early spring. I have cut this flap of flesh off. I have...

Do You Oppose or Support the Death Penalty?

dclary @dclary (141) • United States 5 Aug 08

I am curious to hear people's point of view on the death penalty. Personally, I am not against it, however, I think by giving the death penalty, the criminal gets off easy. What are your views?

criminals

dealth penalty

law

schilds Most of the people who are given the death penalty are convicted of the types of crimes that a person cant be rehabilitated from. It's not just a simple case of needing anger management classes, or a greater purpose for their life. These people are guilty of...

Personal Morals

wooitsmolly @wooitsmolly (3613) • United States 1 Jun 08

Recently I have been introduced to the idea that some people (probably most) just do not appreciate being told they are hypocritical. I have now come across a few instances of a vegan/vegetarian telling a meat eater who claims...

schilds Cows and pigs are food -- that is their purpose. If they were not food what would they be? They are not suited to be wild animals - and even then they would only be food for something else. Most people would hardly want a 2,000 lb cow for a backyard pet. Beef...

schilds Thank you for the response. I have been using a nit comb on them, and so far still haven't found anything. I did wash all their bedding and have been vacuuming beds and couches and floors. So far so good - I will keep checking them and using the nit comb for...

step-parents as grandparents

cukal6 @cukal6 (146) • United States 21 May 08

I am 31 years old and have 2 little boys. My dad just got married last year and his new wife has already starting calling herself grandma. She signs cards that way and refers to herself as their grandmother when talking to other...

schilds I just read another of your replies -about your mom being remarried, but he is Sean. I never called my step-dad DAD or his parent grandma and grandpa -- I called them by their names, but if someone were to ask me Rick is I would tell them that is my dad - and...

Pink eye!! Ewww!!

schilds @schilds (410) • United States 6 May 08

My 2 year old has pink eye. He also has allergies. I think they are related. I did some reading last night when I finally admitted it was in fact pink eye. There are 3 different causes of pinkeye - viral, bacterial, and allergic....

schilds Well, I let is run its course -- it took about 4 days to clear up in him. I know that every case of pinkeye I had ever had has been bacterial, but this one was different. I came down with it last week - about a week after his cleared up. It was very odd - it...

Stephen King should be ashamed of himself and apologize!!!

Guardian208 @Guardian208 (1095) • United States 6 May 08

Stephen King in a typical elitist and liberal moment put his big foot in his mouth and nobody seems to care. I for one am offended and you should be too. Remember not so long ago in another heated election, John Kerry (D-MA)...

schilds I forgot -- joining the military isn't exactly the last possible resort either. The last person I knew to join the military left a $50,000/year job to join the ARMY and make around $18,000/year. He didn't enlist because he was unemployable, or unintelligent -...

I had my little girl to the Dr. today. She woke up with a very high fever and was burning up from the chills. The Dr. said, that she needs to rest for the rest of the week. But my concern is how to break this fever off her with...

schilds It's pretty rare and I don't remember all the specifics - it seems like it has something to do with giving aspirin for the fever that comes before chicken pox and it can lead to reye's syndrome which can be fatal. So, as a general rule they tell you not to...

schilds I agree about the change in perspective. I was a bit shy about breastfeeding when my first was just born. By the time she was a couple months old I even gave up on the blanket unless I was actually having a conversation with someone, then it was for their...
