Call it Fate, call it Karma, call it God’s Will - sometimes things just fall into place. This morning, I came across the image to the right and thought, “Now, there’s a pic I wanna use. But what are the odds of me finding a story that will compliment it?”
Well, thank you Charlize Theron!The poster […]
You know how sometimes your cat kills a mouse and leaves it as a present for you? Except instead of leaving it on the doorstep, it hides it somewhere in your bathroom, which you never clean because you don’t have the time. And then after a few days you wonder what smells so […]
My tip of the week: if you have to bully your daughter into voting for you as Mother of the Year, you don’t deserve to be Mother of the Year.
Then again, that’s about the mildest thing the children of David and Linda Garleigh are alleging their parents did to them. The couple, who have […]
Today, I went to pick up coffee from the Starbucks next to our neighborhood Safeway. What did I behold while there? A woman with four kids, none older than seven, ushering them across the parking lot with one hand. What was she doing with the other hand? Why, gabbing on her cell phone, of course. […]
A 14-year-old boy was “grounded for life” by his father and stepmother because he allegedly revealed important family secrets. In my house, “grounded for life” would mean no TV, phone, or car for a few months. In Lorenzo Reid’s house, “grounded for life” means not going to school for three years, living in […]
I almost - ALMOST - feel bad for these two. They didn’t leave the kid in a ditch or on a park bench. They actually handed the kid off to someone - ok, two total strangers at the drugstore next to their apartment building - but still. It could’ve been worse.
Now, perhaps Daniel’s Law […]
Most parents struggle with finding ways to teach their children important life lessons while trying to make ends meet.
E.H. was lucky. Her parents encouraged her to help out at their home-based business and, along the way, she picked up skills that will last her a lifetime. When Tennessee police performed a […]
What’s a person to do when the eight dogs you’ve (not) fed and (not) taken care of suddenly die? Michele Hatcher, Indianapolis, put hers in trash bags and left them in her house. Oh, except for the one that she left outside. The police found that one decaying. Perhaps that […]
Sometimes truth is way stranger than fiction. In a twist, that sounds like a plotline from ABC’s Desperate Housewives, news is spreading on the internet about Janet Jackson and an alleged daughter that has been kept locked in a metaphorical basement for the last 18 years .
Remember when Janet was married to […]
There are a lot of differences between American and English football (the English version: much more “foot”, much less steroids), but there’s one sad similarity - the behavior of a few bad fans/parents. The British news site Biggleswade Today (no, I did not pull that name from a Monty Python skit) reports that some locals […]
