This happened recently with my wife's side of the family. There was a death and people were posting about it not a couple hours after it happened. She found out about it that way at work. Maybe it's just because I'm older, but...

much2say I have seen this too, and I cannot quite accept it yet. I believe close family and friends should be called or be told personally anyway before it hits social media. I remember finding out that my cousin's husband passed away . . . I found out everything...

Jordan Lader I've found this problem with a few of the recent family passing. I don't think that it should be on social media until the immediate family and anyone close to the person has been notified. Maybe not even until you have funeral arrangements. Social media is...

My oldest daughter's freshman year of high school was a disaster, to the point we felt the only way for her to bounce back was to pull her from the school (which was about 50-60% of the problem) and home school her via a virtual...

Admittedly, I don't pay attention to the NFL (other than the Green Bay Packers) as much as I used to. But, every so often, something from another team catches my attention. And, in this case, it is the seemingly insane way the...

The Horse Like you, I don't follow the NFL as much as I used to. Too many wife-beating jerks on the field. But this is an interesting story--and one I had not heard. Your analysis is the same as mine. If you get rid of all of your good players, your "star quarterback"...

OK, to be honest, I really don't care if I like the doctor. But, it would be nice to find one that at least fits my personality. I haven't had a physical in nearly 4 years because of this struggle. I'm not a big fan of taking...

Anne Marie Guyer I agree, it should not be banned. I was never athletic and didn't like playing it, but I know many who liked it and people should be able to play it if they want.
