Business > Business News & Issues Why Sprint should pay early termination fee for disconnections: 1 of 1
In the recent weeks, Sprint has issued 1200 disconnect orders to paying customers. Sprints reasoning for the disconnect is that the 1200 folks were complaining too much and making unreasonable demands. Doesn't this type of thing happen in every business. No company can make everybody happy.Sprint has generously allowed the 12... More..
Arts & Humanities > 20th & 21st Century US History The assassination of J. F. Kennedy: 11 of 20
The more biographies and autobiographies I read the more I am convinced that this assassination was a government plot. So, often in our government the Republicans and Democrats spend more time dousing the other then they do good for the American people. Just an example, because you can read about this in pretty much every boo... More..
Relationships & Family > Divorce & Legal Issues Should it be compulsory for couples to sign a prenuptial agreement before marriage?: 15 of 27
Definitely. When people get married they are looking at the best of themselves and the one they are marrying. At that time they can think honestly and fairly without anger to cloud their judgment. I do not believe that one document could steel from the love that is growing. In fact it is an added bonus to provide and give of ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Should Christian schools be required to accept children of gay parents?: 26 of 46
Definitely NOT. Church and State are separate. The Christian schools are based on the principles of the Churches teachings and the Bible. Which, whether anyone likes it or not, specifically condemns homosexual activity. I would think that gay parents would also not want to expose their children to the turmoil that could come ... More..
Food & Drink > Recipes (Other) Recipes: Easy and inexpensive dishes children love: 13 of 23
When my kids were younger...oh still today they love Dogs in a Blanket. They even used to help prepare the meal with me.We would take raw Cresent Rolls from the refrigerator section, like Pilsbury and seperate each one out on the counter flat. The are triangles.Then I would slice the hotdogs - not all the way through - just e... More..
Computers & Technology > Phone Technologies & Issues At what age do you give a child a cell-phone?: 24 of 42
We got cell phones for our kids when they reached high school. Not that it was a majic age or anything. Just the plain and simple fact, that they were/are so busy and I am a fanatic for knowing where they are. This was the only way to keep tabs on everyone. Plus, there is no excuse for them to call and check in. There are day... More..
Business > Finance & Insurance How to choose a bank for your company: 3 of 5
Choosing which bank your business will do business with is a very important step in the setup of your company. This decision should not be made solely on dollars and cents. Meaning don't just look at interest rates and charges. Granted, being a new business it will be important to have a no fee account with a low or no minimu... More..
Personal Finance > Financial Planning How can we teach the now generation good money management skills?: 11 of 16
Absolutely Not. The Chicago Tribune did a financial quiz of graduating high school seniors and the majority failed. (May 06') The questions were so basic, it was disgusting. I would recommend anyone look in to that article to find out where are youth is at.Parents consistantly want to "give" things to their children... More..
Personal Finance > Managing Debt How to pay off your debts without coming up short: 12 of 17
I don't like budgets, it's just my personal preference. You could do one the first month or just make a list of all your debts, including who you owe (i.e. Mastercard), total owed, Interest rate, and minimum payment.Then open a no minimum or a low minimum balance checking account. I know you probably already have one, but thi... More..
Relationships & Family > Blended Families Calling step-parents mom or dad: 44 of 60
I believe each family and situation is different. There is nothing wrong with children calling a step parent mom or dad, and it is ok to call them by their name. I think it is for the child to figure out and the adults to let happen the way it does.I call my step-mother by her name. She has been in my life since I was 4 and I... More..
