Good luck. 

I received many gift cards and gifts.  I received the gift of unconditional love from my children.  I received the gift of friendship this year from my best friend who cries when I cry and will keep my secrets with her until the day she dies.  My mom is in my life now and is spoiling me ROTTEN.  She came into some money and has used a lot of it on my family - making up for lost time as we did not get along well while I was growing up and then I moved away. 

All of these are great, great gifts. I was also given the gift of health.  I was the worried mom from a few weeks ago who was asking about abnormal mammograms and lumps.  I am 33 years old.  Today, I nervously received a digital mammography (my first digital one). My doctor went ahead and scheduled me for an ultrasound too this time (I've had both already). After the mammogram this morning I was waiting to head to ultrasound when the tech came in and said the films look great and no need for ultrasound. God is soo good.  Of course, she said my doc will receive the formal report in about a week, but still. Isn't that awesome news?

The most ironic thing about all of this? I am not deserving of any of it. None of it. I know there are so many others who are in such pain this year and for that I am truly, truly sorry. May you find peace, health, happiness, and a close relationship with God this year. I look forward to the coming year. If you don't have God or find Him, may you have love in abundance this year. All of you.

...yep, I'm feeling sorry for myself.  I didn't receive a single Christmas card or gift.  My only child and I decided to forego gifts for each other and just concentrate on providing gifts for my granddaughter.   A friend said she would call last week and we'd go to lunch, but I never heard anything else from her. Makes me realize I really have no friends and am not worth remembering.  Just a card would have made me feel better.

On top of that, I fear I'm going on such thin ice with both of my part-time jobs that I'm afraid every day I go in, I'll be called into the supervisor's office and fired.  I just can't keep up with the transcription as well as the other part-time person has done.  I'm in debt--really have not had a good-paying job in 2 years and things have built up on credit cards.  I used to think I was pretty intelligent--but now have doubts about that, even.  I'm ashamed about my predicament and have avoided people for over a year, so I'm sure that's part of my isolated feeling.  What can I do?

I think probably over 75% of athletes- way over, are using performance-enhancing drugs at a professional level in all sports.  I think a lot of athletes do not even realize they are taking steriods or performance-enhancing drugs, they think they are *supplementing.*  You cannot stay competitive otherwise, no matter your talent and skill level. 

I compete at a pretty high level in two sports, softball and bodybuilding (my division is called figure/fitnes), and steroid use is rampant even at an amateur level.  I am one step away from a pro card in fitness but I know I've gone as far as I can being natural.  I also am a trainer, besides MT, and most of my athletes that leave for college tell me that they know they will have to come make a decision about this if they want to go as far as they can.  I just try to keep them as educated as I can, knowledge is power, but I do think that to reach the top in an uneven playing field, well... it is very tough and a true shame. 

Regardless of Barry's faults, there are many, lying and drug use both, he is truly one of our greatest ball players.  That power and intensity may come from drug use.  But that kind of true beautiful swing he has does not come from drugs, nor does discipline and determination. 

This is a topic that leads to a good debate, that is for sure! 

If so, how did they get the scholarship/scholarships to go out of state?  My junior wants to go out of state and I've told her that she has to find the money to go, especially since our state has a lottery paid college education program that pays tuition and some of the books/fees as long as a student keeps their grades at a B-average or higher.  She is thinking about studying broadcasting.  She has no special talents and doesn't do volunteer work or participate in anything but drama club...nothing to make her especially shine.  She is an A/B student.   We don't have the money for out of state tuition and even covering just the expenses that in-state lottery funded fees will be difficult but do-able if we can get her excited about one of the many state schools available.

Anyone have their child figure out how to do this? 

DAYTON - Gloria Murphy gave children celebrating her 55th birthday alcohol and then had sex with a 12-year-old boy at the party on Thursday, Jan. 29, according to police.

The boy got into Murphy’s bed at 5440 Rawlings Drive, where the married woman had sex with her adolescent neighbor, according to police and Montgomery County prosecutors. 

Two of the children at the party ran home at about 6 a.m. Jan. 30 and told a parent they saw the boy and woman having sex, according to 911 audio.

The parent then called police at about 6:15 a.m., according to a police report and 911 audio.

Murphy did not force the boy to have sex, but since he is younger than 13, it is considered rape, Lt. Patrick Welsh said. No other children were involved in the sexual encounter, but some other children at the party consumed alcohol, according to police.

private and you cant view it without being approved by them?

but if your son is college age...well, he is pretty much on his own isnt he? or he should be.  why stir up crap for yourself?  what if you find something you dont approve of...what are you going to do...tell him you were snooping and what the heck is he doing???

I have had good experiences with their products.  They are also what my massage therapist uses.

The problem is that no matter how responsible a dog owner you are, dogs can accidentally escape.   What would happen to an innocent person walking down the street if your dog happened to escape your yard or your house?  One story on this web site is about two little boys who were walking down the road when a pit bull came bounding out of the woods and knocked one of the boys to the ground and latched onto his face.  

No one can ever convince me that this breed has any unique combination of personality traits that make it worth risking innocent human lives to own one.  I think the entire breed should be destroyed.  The evidence of their inherent danger is overwhelming.
