Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives US elections 2008: How campaign sparring between Clinton and Obama benefits McCain

2 of 23

What makes anyone think that the "sparring" between Clinton and Obama gives McCain even an iota of benefit? It seems to me that the two Democratic candidates are stirring up the interest and emotions of the people in this country at a time that is long over due. McCain is running on the Republican ticket simply because the p... More..

Style & Beauty > Shoes Obsession with shoes

2 of 14

I am truly a shoe addict and there are no twelve-step programs to help me. In reality, I'm not sure I would want help anyway. I believe my obsession with shoes probably began in high school when I was able to earn some of my own money and spend it on whatever I wanted. It soon became apparent that no matter what I might have... More..

Education > Education (Other) Should public school children wear uniforms?

21 of 100

I'm absolutely for public school children wearing uniforms. I'm sure that any uniform chosen would certainly fit more appropriately and reveal a lot less than some of the clothing items I see being worn by children to school. I stop at crossing guard's corners every morning on my way to work and still can't believe what I se... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Sprinklers

10 of 40

I've planted gardens of bountiful fruits, veggies and flowers that I toiled and sweated for many hard hours. But the real task at hand is to control the water that sprays from the damn sprinkler heads that shoot in all different ways. I run back and forth, trying to beat the wind's direction Relocating the sprinklers that I ... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Giving birth

10 of 23

I was young, too young and yet I knew it all! Here I was, big as a house and fearing nothing. I knew very little about giving birth. I heard that there was pain but, how bad could it be? When I was in my last months of pregnancy, my husband and I lived on a farm with my Grandmother. My husband was working shifts and was on w... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Catholicism Can lapsed Catholics come back into the church?

8 of 17

"Lapsed Catholics" a term loosely used. What exactly defines a "lapsed Catholic"? I lapsed, but not because I wanted to - I was asked to lapse, so to speak. Being young; getting pregnant out of wedlock I was allowed to marry in the Catholic Church however, not on the alter. Of course, I didn't wear white! Unfortunately, that... More..

Pets & Animals > Pet Ownership Why some people love their pets as if they were babies

16 of 32

Our pet is our baby! She's our beautiful, 86lb. Chocolate Lab and is now and always will be our baby. She is especially my husband's baby since this is the first dog he has ever owned. I couldn't believe that he had never had the chance to experience the love and companionship of a dog when he was growing up. In my previous ... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Growing up gardening: My most amazing gardening memory

43 of 67

I don't think I grow up in "gardening" as much as it would be called "farming." I was born to farming parents and raised on a large farm-style homestead in the late 40's and most of what I remember to be the foods that me and my sister ate at that time came from the fields. I remember there being a lot of beans, tomatoes, le... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should public employees be entitled to all the retirement benefits they've earned?

3 of 4

Well, I'm assuming that you mean entitled to retirement benefits to which they have contributed? I work for a Board of Education and have so for the past 18.5 years. I'm certainly entitled to my retirement benefits as well as my social security when I retire. Why shouldn't I be? I've paid into the "state retirement" system w... More..
