I'm sorry, but baby boomers who would "borrow" $80,000 from their child and not repay it and then ask them to set up some sort of deal like this give the rest of us baby boomers a bad name. I'm the first to admit that I didn't plan the greatest for retirement, but I certainly wouldn't put the...

People find it odd that after growing up and living all my life in Alaska where we have an abundance of nature surrounding us and there is a lot of camping, I had never slept in a tent until I was in my late 40's. We did two separate road trips, about ten years apart, where we did some tent...

My husband always speaks rather fondly of his days in the Army National Guard, "camping" in really rough terrain, in all kinds of weather. However, if he wanted to go camping these days, he'd settle for nothing less than a fully-equipped RV! :)

I love Immigrant Song. I've been a huge rock fan all my life and have always leaned toward the heavier/metal end and we tend to listen to a lot of classic heavy rock in my household. My husband plays the drums and dabbles with guitar and that's mostly what he plays. Our house was where my...

Not for me it isn't. I usually have to listen to something very different, like heavy metal, to finally blast it out of my head. Kind of the equivalent of scrubbing it out of my brain with a wire brush! :)

"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave..." Oh great, now I've got the song Hotel California stuck in my head!

I live in a fairly small town and we don't have as bad a problem with homelessness as most bigger cities have, but we do have our fair share. Several years ago we found that some of the local homeless who hung out near our office building were using one of our elevators as a bathroom over a...

I'm from Alaska which I knew was extremely red but I didn't fully realize until just recently that it's apparently the reddest red state - I just read that even though we entered the union in 1959 as a Democratic state, no state has voted for a Democratic presidential candidate fewer times than...

Oh, no, my perception isn't skewed, I absolutely know I was treated like everyone else, I've seen others in similar situations who were treated the same way and worse by our local and/or state government entities. My point was, it doesn't matter if you live in a "red" or a "blue" state, you're...

It's not a red state vs. blue state issue. I live in a very red state, and it has happened to me. The vehicle was parked on my property and we had forgotten to renew the registration. A guy who drove through the neighborhood frequently worked for the city and reported it as a "junk vehicle". (It...

Has it occurred to anyone else here that someone else may have posted this using Kathleen's name in an attempt to get her in some kind of trouble for talking about a case on a public message board? Or am I just way too suspicious of people?

Unfortunately, I think we've all seen this sort of thing before. In my experience, it's pretty much always when the mother has lost custody or even voluntarily made a custody agreement that she then regretted. Suddenly, the whole world (ex, judges, entire court system) is conspiring against her...

Good grief, hasn't this scam been around pretty much forever?! Just the mode of delivery has changed over the years, from written letter to fax to e-mail. The thing that gets me is the fact that people still fall for it.I work for a bank and it seems like at least once a year we have to...

Because they started the Human Resources message board on this site some years back when another board some of us HR folks used was closed. So some people do come on here for input from other HR professionals doesn't necessarily fall under the heading of "legal".

Funny thing about that...I wasn't the one who sought the divorce, I just agreed to it when he filed after leaving me for another woman!

I was lucky in that my relationship with my ex never devolved into something truly toxic...just uncomfortable and weird and perplexing sometimes, given the fact that we were together only about three years and divorced for 40 years!

I have been divorced, but I don't understand the obsession either. By the time my ex-husband died in 2016 we'd been divorced for 40 years, and he was still coming up with reasons/excuses to contact me on a fairly regular basis. If not about our son, then about the grandkids. Asking for a birth...

There is no point in fighting for full custody of the children if the end result is not intended to be that they live with the parent with full custody. If you truly had "good honest Christian" concern it would be for the children, and getting them out of the situation they are in with their...

Last year I went to the ER with a bad nosebleed. I literally sat in a room alone for an hour bleeding, then they came in and told me to pinch my nose for 15 minutes. Once I'd done that and the bleeding finally stopped, they put several shots of nasal spray up my nose to constrict the blood...

Not everyone is abused in a nursing home situation. My father was very well treated in his nursing home, where he lived for the last several years of his life.
