We are looking at purchasing a new car and am just trying to get feedback from folks who have the Sorento. We're ready to move down from a mini-van and like the gas mileage, but still want a good size vehicle. We've talked to one person, but we want more feedback.

Thanks!

I think my bar bunny comment may actually have hit a little too close to home!

And what is your favorite banned book?

Me.. I love Vonnegut, Judy Blume, Roald Dahl, Lois Lowry...

Seriously, I've seen so many questions on here about this. You don't see the other branches doing this. And from the answers I've seen, the process is basically the same. You are given a cut off date for testing and boards, you know when the board meets, and you know approximately when the release date is for selects. Do they not post this info on the army website anywhere? How do the folks up for promotion not know this info, especially since they are on the verge of becoming SNCO's??

Just wondering.......

Well, it's official. The Army dropped charges and just gave her a discharge. So, she still has all of her VA benefits, etc. even though she refused to answer the call to duty.

How does everyone else feel about it?

Our old land line phones are dying and we need to replace them. The phone system we are on is not digital, if that makes a difference. We prefer at least 2 handsets, with a base and an answering machine. It's been 7 years since we last bought phones, so I'm going out clueless as to what is available now.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be great! Even things to avoid would come in handy.

We just got our equal listing, and as March is a reserve base there is little info available in the traditional channels. So.. I need your help. Looking for info on mainly schools and housing. But, also input from active duty who have been assigned and worked with reservists.

Thanks!

As most of us our fairly well read, can we have a moment of peace in his memory?

He passed away earlier today.

We're looking at buying a new car next summer, something to replace our van. We still need something large (we travel a lot, and I work with the Girl Scouts). But the best I've been seeing for MPG is around 25. Has anyone seen anything better? Or know of anything coming out on the market??

Ok, I'm concerned... 16 year old goes to public school, raised in a Christian home, yet refused to take HS Biology because they will cover evolution... about 3 weeks out of the entire year course!

I'm a practicing Christian, a teacher, and a mom. Is this nuts or is it just me?? Biology is so much more than evolution and it's an essential part of our education.

Our cat is 17 and hyperthyroid. Now she is going blind. What can I do to help her, make life a little easier for her? We know not to move things around, but she is spotting and pooping in strange places and has been crying. At this point medical intervention is not the point, just quality of life.

We lost her sister/littermate last Christmas, and I'm sure it's just a matter of time with her.

Grieving Mommy

Our family will be off to Maddingly Cemetery outside of Cambridge, UK, for a Memorial Day service. Hubby will be helping a widow lay a wreath in honor of her late husbands WWII unit.

Please don't forget to honor those who have fallen to protect your freedom!
