I live in a small town in Iowa. I started writing seriously for pay a few months ago, when circumstances forced me to think seriously about it. It had always been in the back of my mind for some years now, but until the last few months, the idea had been shelved.
+ more bio informationOf course fathers should have a say in whether or not a woman aborts. It is his child too. Think about this, a father who does not want the mother of his child to abort is then on the hook for child support anyway, should she decide at the last minute to not abort or adopt. This is his right. If a mother wants to abort anyway... More..
The term "dead beat dad" is a very misleading and cruel label. Mothers can be deadbeats as well, but how often does one hear about this subset of society? Almost never. Why is that? I wonder if it is because mothers are seen as weak and dependant upon someone or something else to support them. Throwing a father in jail for no... More..
As a fairly experience mom and wife of 10 going on 11 years. I think I may have a few pearls of wisdom to pass along to the cyber world of writers. The first is: make a weekly "date" for just the two of you whether it is a movie, play, or dinner out with friends to socialize and agree not to speak about the children or domest... More..
It would be nice if lawyers would decide on their own to take worthy cases on a pro bono basis. Their regular hourly fees are so ridiculously high, that some charity work is in order to keep them mindful of their humanity and remember that if not for clients who pay, charity work is not possible. Some of the better lawyers ch... More..
I think it would behoove Hillary Clinton to release her White House papers if she is to be taken seriously by the voters. There has been too much secrecy since George W. Bush was elected, ahem, selected by the Supreme Court and re-elected in 2004. It seemed to be a lesser of two evils when compared to John Kerry. John Kerry a... More..
The first thing that can be saved is on something we all buy for our cars on a regular basis and that is gasoline. First, you do not need premium grade gas, that alone will save you big bucks at the filling station. Regular will do just fine. In the winter time, for every tank of gasoline since water condensation does get int... More..
This question requires a lot of tact especially when it involves a person that you may not know very well. Diplomacy is key here. If the behavior is totally out of character for that person and you know them well enough and feel comfortable doing so, then you should call them out on it, but privately. You do not want to humil... More..
I do not think it insulting at all to give a give that pokes fun at a person's age at all. Humor can only be a good thing, but taken too far then it becomes a problem. One should always think about the temperament of the recipient and account for it when selecting an appropriate gift. Some people feel rotten about turning ano... More..
The government has failed on a number of issues that should have been addressed decades ago but have been ignored for so long that the problems have become out of control. Take illegal immigration for example, back in 1986,there were only a few million illegal aliens living here under the radar and amnesty was the order of Co... More..
It probably has always been legal, but morally, it is not appropriate in my own opinion. It would be rather awkward at family gatherings that is for sure. I would think that a person could find a future spouse outside their former wife's family. It is a rather disgusting idea. Legally and morally right choices can oftentimes ... More..
