Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting (Other) Should children under 10 attend funerals?: 4 of 12
I had to think about this for a few minutes. After all, children are growing up faster these days. Aren't they? No. Not really.

Arts & Humanities > Thoughts on Writing Reducing anger through writing: 4 of 11
Writing for me has always been an outlet. Whether it be anger, love, melencoly, or fasination. Since I was a teenager, I have used writing as my voice.

I wouldn't worry about it Mr. Smith, (not my real name.) We'll keep an eye on it, and if you notice any changes, let me know. My doctor said this as I left his office four years ago. I have heard this a few times, for various conditions. But this one, six years ago when it was first discovered seemed to my doctors as an emer... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Law & Justice (Other) Should gender be a determining factor in choosing a Supreme Court nominee?: 5 of 8
Gender, like race, comes up time and again when it comes to high-profile government positions, appointments and elections. The news media jumps on board and sensationalizes it all.
