Well this will probably seem strange, I'm actually not bothered and I do think some will see my point. (so that's worth it) Some say living in the past drives you crazy, I disagree with this because at times I do. Not the...

semak76 Wolfie, i don't know you, or your situation, but I hate to hear anyone sounding like this. To simply exist is not living life. I know I might sound cliche, but please try and do something for me. Just for a minute, pretend that there are no wrong choices in...

semak76 thank you for your understanding. and I'm glad you brought up public assistance, it seems that i make little enough to struggle, but too much too really get help. I live in one of the richest states in the US, so our minimum wage is higher than most, but in...

semak76 I think its great to have morals, and that's why I mentioned talking to the manufacturer or the store about the selling of the item. I am the mother of a 4 year old boy, and whatever that dad's reason's for buying the shirt, I just know how I would feel if...

semak76 i think it is wonderful that your child is excelling. My school district is only half day, another concern of mine, but I guess slightly off topic here, maybe that will be my next rant and rave. If I had half the confidence in the school system here as yours...

semak76 thank you so much for responding. You are very gifted, for you hit pretty much every concern I have about school for him. My biggest is the boredom, and losing the desire to learn. thank you so much for your suggestions.

semak76 Definately not offended, it is always nice to know that there are people out there who understand and can respect the decisions others make. Decisions regarding our kids last a lifetime and we only get one chance to get it right
