This seems like a win-win situation. Why are there so many bad ratings?

Some radiators stayed cold while others almost caused suffocation. I believe the difference between then and now is that 40 years ago most homes didn't have a.c. The kids now are brought up from birth and this is the result of our progress. I don't tolerate the heat as well at 50 as I did at 10 when playing outside all day was never an issue.

Sweaty, sticky, yucky. Mostily I think it's just I'm getting older. The young ones didn't seem to mind at all. Wish I had taken time to ride a few things and have a fried Oreo.

I know this is nit-picky but someone is directionally challenged.

Wasn't a cigarette this time. The only fishy thing is that people don't have working smoke alarms.

When I heard the story of the children holding back for days they wouldn't have school, holidays etc. it broke my heart. My family didn't have a lot of money but we always had food. In the overall scheme of things $ 25.00 a month isn't much. Luckily I am employed.

There was a law passed a few years ago and all telecommunications companies have to do third party billing. This happened to us and we called AT&T and had them put a third party block on all our phone lines. You must call them to do this. Good Luck.

Or if they reach no one they call. Then it depends on how close a patrol car is to the business.

Then hormones take over and stop doesn't even come up. Too many misconceptions among kids as to how it really happens. A girl can get pregnant without complete contact. It only takes a loaded drop close enough. Yes tell them not to, but also how it happens.

I hope they didn't throw JQH thinking she is a viable prospect. Her track record running a low-rent motel into the ground should be proof enough. Please City Council go back to John Q. and work this out.

My luck I would spray myself. We are taught to go for the eyes and nether region, just have to hope you have your wits to do so.

She can start making noise as soon as she is accosted.

Is this the same "gentleman" that mailed that garbarge to everyone?

The wind we had over the weekend would not have been the time to launch any type of boat. My uncle and his friend capsized many years ago when there was little wind yet the lake was choppy. No hills to break it like there is at Table Rock. My hope and prayers to the family. If the Corps hasn't yet posted signs as to the dangers they should.

Nice lesson for all the children in the gallery.

At least you know they have the knowledge to use a weapon unlike the gansta wannabes that don't even know how to hold a gun.

Maybe he was released from probation.

Hormones out of control. IF he had married this girl later he would still be on the offender list. I'm not defending him for what he may or may not have done in this instance, just pointing out that there are different degrees of offense on the offender list.

In my mind the greater concern with this building is whether they can repair it for it to be safe for children. The roof has leaked for the last 25 or so years. That is my only concern.

I don't think this applied at Burge/Cox. Our family went to SJ as it was quieter and generally cleaner. It's not a bad idea to keep kids away. Hospitals are for healing. As to the child seeing the baby now she will see her more than she wants when they come home and she has to share her parents attention.
