This past week, during the Joplin tornado, my boyfriend and a friend and I were driving down to Florida and we were listening to the events unfolding on the radio and then on the TV when we got to the hotel. It's just devestating and it's the deadliest season on record already. Now, on our way back, at le...

Other than a comment here and there, I never got too involved in the conversations about Bristol Palin, because I agree with the majority of people on this board that by and large, the children of politicians should be off-limits. But she's now 20 years old, and not exactly a child. But speaking of ch...

I am a terrible speeder. It is a wonder that I have not been ticketed or in an accident because of it. On Saturday, I lost a friend due only to speeding. He never texted while driving and he didn't have any alcohol or other substances in his system. It was one of my boyfriend's best friends and everyone who...

I always think I can fix my parents. That I can help their insanity in some way. That some sort of advice I can give them will be useful. I always listen to my children, I hang on every word, and respect every single thing that they say. They are the smartest people that I know. But my parents are just...insa...

I haven't been here in a while. The email digests kept saying "No new posts," so I thought the forum was dead. When I finally come to investigate, I find it to be alive! Seems like there should be a way to fix that. I didn't see a forum for website issues, so I'm posting here. And ah, how I have fall...

Mother Earth can be a bitch. So much devastation. Fortunately, not as much loss of life - hopefully that stays low, considering the horrific nature of the magnitude of the quake.

Well, I'm definitely done with winter. I totaled my car today on the freeway on the way back to school. I managed to slide sideways into a ditch and my car is just completly ****ed.

I'm sad over the locking of a thread at the other place. It was so much fun, I'm gonna miss it. But I must move on, and find something else to live for. There, I feel better now.

Well, it looks like we're going to visit NYC in mid/late Feb. We're hoping to visit some colleges for our son (so far on the list are Vassar and NYU, maybe Colgate if we can stand to drive that much).
