Come on folks, there are pleanty of places to stop along the way to/from Levenworth to pick up your smoke. Just because the majority of people who live in Levenworth do not want to live amoungst a bunch of pot shops and drug dealers, does not make them bad people.

Come on, glass is easily broken. I prefer to have a solid wood door where I can come to the door armed and the person outside has absolutely no idea what is (or is not) on the inside.

One friend is obese himself, so he is in no position to tell his children that what they eat is wrong as he himself needs to lead by example, not say "do as I say, not as I do". My other friend is not fat, but he will not tell his daughter that she is fat because that would "hurt her self esteem". Then, we all go out to lunch and he lets her have ice cream for lunch!!! With so many broken families, parents want to be more of a friend than a parent. Parents need to buck up and be parents, not just "the good guy that lets kids do whatever they want". Love is dicipline and it takes dicipline and self love to care for ones body.

Courses are recycled over and over without regard to the timeliness of the content. The textbooks, terminology and technology is obsolete!!! I work in technology, so I know what I am saying is true. All I am doing is paying a boatload of money and taking courses on obsolete content, which will in the end give me a bachelor's degree in MIS which I will then be able to use to get interviews for better jobs. Sad, but true. If the university wants to raise tuition, they should update their curriculum and hire professionals who know current in-demand topics.

Since most young children admire their parents and want to be like them, the little girl must have some issues. If Mommy does not die of skin cancer before she turns 14, then she will likely start tanning in the salon when she turns 14. Of course, she will probably tan in the sun long before that. Maybe that is how she got her sun burn now. Maybe daughter went out into the sun since she can not legally get into the tanning salon. She just wants to be like her Mother.

Rather, he was standing in front of Bank of America when the building was shot with a paint gun. Big difference. If you don't want to get paint spattered on your jacket, then don't stand in front of the Bank of America. I'm not supporting the vandal losers, just saying be safe and don't stand in front of Bank of America.

But, that does not give dog owners permission to let their dogs run free. There are leash laws for dogs. If Snipes refuses to use a leash then she should be fined. And, every time that she retrieves her dogs from shelters due to her neglagence she should be required to pay a fee. That fee should increase with each instance. With so many dogs in her home I wonder if "Lil Man" intentionally left home. I got my cat when my neighbor got a dog. You see, my cat doesn't like dogs, so when his previous owner got a dog, he moved (into my house). Some people say, "animals pick their owners".

When a vehicle from either direction would approach, he would move his bike to the opposite lane. One day a car approached from behind him. He decided to move to the left lane. Unfortunately at the same time, the car decided to pass him in the left lane and hit him. Bike went under, he went into the windshield and was thrown into bushes. Fast forward 30 years. He blames all of his life failures on that accident and still says that our Mother should have sued the driver. Little boys do not own the road. Little boys are mortal, and accidents happen. I feel sorry for the parents of this little boy. However, if the bus driver did not do anything wrong, they need to accept their loss and not sue.

Many local churches fund charities in poor countries. And, some help out local charities that are unable to keep up with the demand caused by the economy.

It's not a lot, but for me to get what they legally owe me I need to spend more money in legal fees to collect. I did not fire bomb them, but I suspect whoever did has a good reason. I wish the bank would have burned.

All people were on the Internet when the fire started. 3 seperate fires on 3 different days by 3 different people. Now, just because all 3 people were from Microsoft does not necessarily mean you have to be from MS to start a fire. Everybody is capable of doing the same thing. The only reason Microsofties are more likely to start fires is because we are addicted to work and the Internet.

I bet someone started to cook, left something on the stove and went back to working on the computer and competely forgot the stuff on the stove. This has happend in my home a couple times by various roommates. So far I have been lucky my house has not burned down. People need to either cook or work on the computer. Doing both at the same time is not wise - not unless you use a reliable timer.
