Jobs & Careers > Starting Out Why some college students don't want part-time jobs: 1 of 15
"I'm poor, I'm a college student!" These are very famous words uttered by nearly every college student. For this very reason many choose to work part time while they are working toward their college degree. However, there are some that choose not to work. The two main reasons for this decision are that mommy and daddy are fun... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Special Needs How to determine if your child has sensory integration dysfunction: 1 of 6
Several years ago my son was referred to a physical therapist because his heal cords were extremely tight. Little did I know that this referral would set us on a journey of sadness, understanding, and eventually, joy.At the age of three my son was walking on his tip toes nearly all of the time. As a result, his heal cords bec... More..
Sports & Recreation > Recreational & Youth How to enjoy the great outdoors with children: 5 of 20
Getting the kids outside is a feat unto itself, but worth every bit of effort. Our children need exercise, fresh air, the chance to dig in the dirt and explore, the chance to see the world through a perspective other than their playstation or gameboy. I have three little boys and I discovered that we have far more fun outdoor... More..
Relationships & Family > Married Life What should a husband do to make his wife happy?: 39 of 99
A woman could write lists upon lists of things her husband could do to make her happy. However, I think that these "lists" could simply be whittled down to two important requests. Listen and Communicate.First, listening. A husband must listen with both his ears and his heart. But he should not respond to his wife's concerns o... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Child Discipline Strategies Kids' rights and duties: 4 of 9
In days past, the notion that a child had rights was simply mind boggling. It was believed and, indeed expected, that children should simply perform their duties (chores, etc) while staying quiet and unseen. How things have changed, and for the better! Now, thankfully, parents, as well as those without little people, have beg... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Law & Justice (Other) Returning the rights to a felon after completion of sentence: 2 of 4
Once a felon has completed his sentence for a crime he has been convicted of committing, his rights should be returned to him. Theoretically, a person has paid their debt to society and they should then be free to return to society. By that I mean that they should be allowed to become socially productive (working, paying rent... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Common Baby Ailments The challenges of caring for babies with tongue tie: 1 of 2
I wish more physicians would check for this when they examine newborns. My son was about 7 months old before we discovered his tongue was tied. Looking back, there were several indications that there might be a problem, but it never occurred to us to have him checked out. He would gag and/or vomit when we tried to give him a ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Does the US media portray immigrants only as illegals?: 1 of 1
A blanket "Yes" statement isn't necessarily true, however, in recent years more often than not, an immigrant is portrayed as illegal. This portrayal is put forth in both the fictionalized television programs we as Americans watch on a daily basis, as well as on the news. It seems that in past years, immigrants were often port...

Other Sexy: Class vs. Sleazy: 9 of 16
I'm not sure if its a guy thing or not, but my husband and I truly have two totally different notions of what is sexy and what is sleazy. To me, wearing something which allows/requires your imagination to also work ("Imagine if that neckline were 1/2" shorter?") is more sexy than a 35 year old woman wearing a mini skirt and a... More..
Health & Fitness > Nutrition & Health Issues Eating to live...or living to eat: 4 of 7
What a paradox. For a very long time I have lived to eat. I simply enjoyed good food and good friends. I loved to experiment with different flavors, cuisines, and ingredients. Soon, however, I saw that my scale didn't like the notion of living to eat. I wasn't obese. Just about 20 lbs. overweight. Yes, that is significant, bu... More..
