you won't loose your cool if you state the facts

just as you did. I have found in my life that everyone has to listen to me and take me seriously if I use no profanity what so ever (and don't yell). Of course you should be upset, your child was assaulted by a bully. I'd be all over that like white on rice!!! Call her up, make her feel lousy for raising such a brute of a daughter. Praise your child for being so wonderful. Unfortunately, all we can tell our little ones is that the world is full of mean, angry others and we are so blessed to not have to behave that way. Count your blessings for your sweet son, just love him and hug him all that much more.

if pits get loose
It isn't in a pitbulls nature to be mean to humans. Now they can be aggressive towards other dogs, but that too often is mistaken as people aggression, but these are far two different things. If you get on a pitbulls property they are very protective & if they don't know you then you may get bit, but that's with any dog. If they get loose they aren't going to go around the neighborhood looking for somebody to attack, in fact if they are loose roaming around they are more scared of you then you are of them. Took us 3hrs to get a full-grown pitbull off the side of the road. Read his story here: http://www.dogster.com/dogs/600278
What if they accidentally got loose?
I know sometimes it is beyond your control and dogs get out. A board on your fence can break, the chain can break, whatever it may be. What if the pit got out and killed something or someone? That is what scares me about these dogs. If you are keeping it contained, good for you, but if it gets out and kills someone or something, you are responsible.
I am just about the loose my mind with these people.
used to just be the nextdoor neighbors, they are so trashy...same things, dogs..trash, beer bottles, heavy metal music, the mom screams and cusses and beats her kids right out in the front yard...all of it...they party in their garage...then the back looks like a desert of dog poop...(lived here for 2 years..) then last summer a new family moves in, they are just as big of drunks..now they all party together. well lastnight, we had it out, and I know i went overboard playing into their Jerry Springer conversations..but geeze, I am so angry and have decided to reclaim my space...lol
Octuplet mom has a few screws loose..
and really needs some psychiatric help. I read an article in one of the papers that her mother tried to get her some help regarding her obsession with babies. How sad for these poor children. I am quite sure the mother of these babies is looking for a reality show and some free goods and endorsements for her "miracle". The facility that implanted that many embryos in her should be closed down and she needs to sterilized.
That woman has a screw loose. And after the way - (sm)
she treated you (demanding money, banging on your door, saying you're 'rude', and then demanding to borrow a CD from you, I wouldn't even let her in the house again, let alone give her a CD. If you give her the CD, you'll never see it again, guaranteed. I'd tell her to get lost.
People who type loose when they mean lose. (nm)

do you have any loose neighbor kids running around?
lol .... never know... my neighbors little boy last year took his crayola scissors to my hosta's.....geeze
It was the OWNERS' fault for allowing the dog to run loose.
The fact that you didn't see him and ran over him was an accident. That accident wouldn't have occurred if those people had been responsible dog owners and kept him in a securely fenced yard.
Know the facts...
Get your facts straight

Pitbulls were NOT bred to attack humans. Unfortunately some humans trained & bred pitbulls to fight dogs. Dog aggression is not to be mistaken with people aggression. And like I said before, in so-called reported "pitbull" attacks unless I was there & I heard & seen EXACTLY what happened, I am not about to pass judgement.
Here are some facts.
http://www.dogsbite.org/bite-fatalities-2008.htm
Notice how many of these descriptions of fatalities use the phrase "the family's pit bull".
Both are facts, now if you said - sm
I think Judy Blume books are great.....then that is an opinion. Or, My mom thinks I look good in blus shirts, again that is her opinion (she thinks, I think, etc.). All in the phrasing and point of view of the statement. But I enjoy would be a fact, because you are stating what you like to do (a fact), and your mom liking something is a fact as well, as it is a definite statement.
the facts
One of his daughters is allergic to dog fur which makes it very hard to get a rescue dog. The dog was a gift from E. Kennedy. The Obamas, in lieu of getting a rescue dog gave a 'substantial donation' to the humane society (or similar) in D.C., which, IMO, will save many more dogs than the one he would have rescued.
Hubby thinks the animal has a loose screw
as he hisses and runs during the day but yet sometimes late of a night the cat will go to him, sniff around him and, although reserved still, is not the cat in the terrible 2s like during the day. My hubby thinks he has a mental problem (not my hubby, of course, but the cat!)
Don't know the facts about this family but....
Common sense dictates that foods with added hormones and antibiotics CANNOT be good for human consumption. It is completely unncessary. I only buy eggs without hormones and additives to the chickens, free range, and the same with the milk. If a human mother were taking in hormones and antibiotics, wouldn't there be a warning to her if she were breastfeeding not to nurse her child, that this could potentially be dangerous.
snopes merely has all the facts

They're both facts
I enjoy reading books by Judy Blume. That's a factual statement. I'm not saying anything about the quality of the writing or the stories. Just that I like reading the books. If it were phrased Judy Blume's books are really, really good then that would be opinion. You may think so, but the person next to you may think they're trite.
Same goes with the shirt. My mom loves for me to wear blue shirts is a factual statement because your mom does indeed feel that way. If it were turned around so that it read My mom thinks blue shirts make me look good or My mom loves for me to wear blue shirts because they bring out my eyes then those statements are Mom's opinions. And we all know Mom is always right. ......... 
Long arms, loose joints, narrow back.
I'm sort of the opposite of that Tauranosaurus rex complaning of his short arms and big head, LOL.
There isn't a part of my back I can't reach with at least the back of my hand. Poor DH has a huge area he can't reach. Good thing I'm around for him.
cardio is going to make you loose weight and slim down, weights
are going to give you more of a defined muscle tone. you still need the cardio to get your hr up, then do the weights immediately after while your hr is up, will work faster.
Just speaking the facts, ma'am, ;)

always so negative I got her name right maybe you just dont have all the facts
Her name was Vicki Lynn however those who did know her from before know that she used the nickname Nicki when she worked in the clubs around Houston and when she went to Playboy they changed her name to Anna Nicole.
Enjoy your rant I just gave my opinion like everyone else sorry to have annoyed you with a little different point of view.
Just stating the facts ma'am, and it looks like
you are not such a great diagnostician either! lol
And the facts are, that gays exist, and want to

And the facts are also that there are Christians and pedophiles and (sm)
people who have premarital sex, and people who are Nuns and people who do drugs. Do we take them on field trips for all of those too?
Oops..you actually need to surround the key in a blob of the silicone so it doesn't work loose.

Maybe The Facts of Life cast Charlotte Rae as ...
Edna Garrett on The Facts of Life???
Heard Al Gore's "documentary" had no facts in it(sm).
Don't worry, it's just the earth cycles and cows passing gas.
We're just speaking the facts, ma'am. :)

Because, despite asking a question, she wanted commiseration, not facts. nm

I wasn't judging, just stating the facts ma'am....
these were things that were mentioned in the trial. And the baby and the methadone thing was accused by Larry B, I think he would know if she was taking methadone, and she was on something, we all know that.
get your facts straight. Rosie signed a school year
that was when her original contract was supposed to expire, June 2007, a school-year yearly contract. ABC wanted her to sign a 3-year contract for the amount of $$ she requested.........and she only wanted to sign a one-year contract.......
I will miss her as I had given up the View due to Star Jones' fiascos....and now, once again, after June, I will never watch it again. Rosie brought the ratings up because after 9 years of Star Jones, people were tired of the show.
Ta-Ta to The View and ABC.....
Yes, and friends too. But school is where kids learn facts, so whatever their teacher says (sm)
they are going to think it must be right. I think that is unfair leverage to use to support your own point of view as a teacher.
Nice loose cotton or cotton blend gown
and NO PANTIES!!!!!!! 
sweat pants or loose light cotten pants - sm
sometimes put on makeup but usually just brush hair and pull it back and get to work!
The State of Arizona is opting out. Anyone else's state opting out? NM

you can give the people the facts, but the decision making process should be left to the people
This is what our country is founded on FREEDOM OF CHOICE! I'm laughing already; you are just as mortal as the rest of us, and don' even attempt to that you've never done anything in your lifetime that was unsafe or unhealthy. NOT gonna buy it.
Very cool - thanks.nm

Cool that so rox!!!!!
 My son is in a band, too!
That's way cool!
Yes, there are good people out there. Seems like you hear more about the bad than the good, unfortunately.
Much support to you, your son and your family!
Cool!
I had a lot of pen pals when I was in junior high. We were obligated to take German and French in 7th and 8th grade and the teachers arranged for us to get pen pals in both countries. I also ended up with one from Japan. It has been 25 years since then and I am still in contact with my pen pal from France. It is such a wonderful experience.
That is so cool!
I found my first bat upstairs in the hayloft a few years ago...oh it was so cute and so tiny! My husband had to physically hold me back from trying to pick it up. I think it was a youngin' who just came inside to sneak a nap and decided bales of hay were a most comfy place to crash.
I pretty much try to make a grab for anything like that...which is totally not normal, I know.
Spiders though...well, if I see a spider, no matter how teeny, I do that thing...what's it called..."vagal."  I'm like a fainting goat when it comes to spiders for some reason. Pass right the frig out and poo myself. Not too proud of that, but there ya have it, so I can totally understand someone else's phobias for sure!
OMG!! How cool is that!!
My daughter is turning 21 July of next year and that's what I'm doing for her.
We travel about 200 miles down the road to see a pro game series usually 2 or 3 times a season, but only once this year... $$$ is low :(
We are already starting to save and plan for her 21st. She's really excited. It would be SO awesome if Carl Crawford or Rocco Baldelli yelled happy birthday to her from the outfield.
What a memory that would be!
Very cool, - sm
First as a mom who adopted her first son when he was 9, I say congratulations to you all. What a special blessing it is. Your daughter has probably already met all of your relatives, but we made a special photo album with all of the extended relatives in it and labeled each one so that he had an album of his new family. We also had a photo album of the adoption procedure with pics of all of us with the judge and pics of Anthony behind the judges desk and such. We had a great judge, who let us take our time and take as many pics as we wanted. We also planted a tree in the back yard as a reminder of adoption day, which we celebrate each year just like it was a birthday. Also we bought a special frame for the adoption certificate and it is hanging in our living room in a very prominent place. Something that we thought about after the fact and never did was to take out an adoption anouncement in the paper, just like a baby anouncement.
Just some of the ideas that we used, praying that you have a joyous and blessed life with your new sweetheart.
so cool
It was really cool. . I felt like I was witnessing a miracle - which, of course, birth is. . I doubt very many people get to see something like that - It definitely made my day!
I am such a cool mom
My DD just called from the bowling alley to ask if she and her friends could come here to watch their movie. I said, "Why yes, of course."
Now excuse me while I panic and try to clean this place up!
That is cool!!...nm

Cool!
It makes such a difference doesn't it? I used to HATE my nose and used to always say if I had the money I would have a nose job. Once I had my teeth done, I can honestly say my nose does not bother me like it used to! I think a healthy smile just helps the whole face.
Cool
I didn't know about the yoga positions. I haven't ever done yoga, but it's something I'm interested in. I'm definitely going to check that out!
cool
I am so glad everything worked out for you all.
