• Historical inaccuracy in TV show "White Collar."

  —Somewhere Over the Rainbow

  I finally got around to watching the first episode of "White Collar." I liked it, and I'll continue watching it, but I have to catch up on it since it premiered three weeks ago and I only just got around to watching the first episode. But I've recorded the episodes, [...]

• 'No Homework' Contract

  —Virginia's Family Adventures!

  Watch the latest business video at FOXBusiness.com
  Finally! I agree! I mean, if kids are in school 7 hours a day at the minimum, why are they given soooo much homework? This never made sense to me. Kids need down time too after such a long day. So add [...]

  If you are inclined to be squeamish, I suggest you read no further. Firstly, Gertie is fine !!!!! She did not deliver a kid, dead or otherwise, so I rang the vet’s to check in. The vet I had, was not rostered on, nor was the Senior vet who had given a [...]

• Goldfish Lessons

  —Life With Joey

  So we have our goldfish, Chris and Quille. And they are still alive, thank you very much.
  
  Unfortunately, goldfish was not what I was planing to have. I was thinking of some smaller, less territorial fish. But goldfish is what we have. And goldfish get big, they [...]

• Back on Our Feet, And How!

  —For James

  Well, we've had 4-6 weeks of cold and flu cycling around. Almost sinister in that at first it seems a straightforward illness. Then it comes back. And if you don't watch it, the patient worsens. Went through this first with James' sister, then with James. She had the flu bug' [...]

  —Our Crazy Adventures in autismland!

  —I'm Not Hannah

  Why are lists SO much easier? Yay, lists!
  
  The other day, while finishing up a little Mr. Goodbar, I bit down on an uncommonly large peanut. Odd, I thought. Further exploration yielded up that it was NOT, in fact, an uncommonly large peanut, but was instead a portion of [...]

• Hey! Pseudoscientists! Leave them kids alone!

  —A life less ordinary?

  Number of comments: 0
  The name alone makes no sense: "Scientific Link to Autism Identified." What does that even mean? As opposed to a "nonscientific link"? A "religious link"? A "philosophical link"? A "chain link"?
  And it simply gets worse from there. First of all, if you can find a worse example of [...]

  —Mother of Shrek

  Number of comments: 19
  An easy trap to fall in and we all do it.
  When our children have high levels of support and thrive staff can become complacent (and of course funding issues can play a part) support is reduced and then people wonder why they are not coping so well. [...]
