I live about 200ft from the local public library, in front of it. It sits directly on the elbow on a 90 degree curve, and I live on the street in a house just before the curve, so if you can visualize it, I am diagonal from them. This by the way is a small library, in an even smaller town. I was just recently informed by a police officer that they have my home, as well as the few surrounding homes, under surveillance. He said the video he saw showed my daughter (she's 10) coming out of our front door and meeting another little girl to play on the sidewalk, where they proceeded to walk to the library and sit on their front steps, which are again exactly diagonal from my home.

I want to know, is this legal for them to do? As a mother of 3, I spend countless hours on my front porch, which is large. I sit out here and watch my kids play, and at night, I sit out here alone, or with my husband on the weekend nights, to enjoy the peace and quiet.

I was never made aware of them taping my front porch. And neither were any of my other neighbors. The only way I found out was because they (the library) had the gall to call the cops on my 10 year old daughter for sitting on the library steps after hours on a sunday night. All she was doing in the video was playing with some rocks. What is so terrible about that??? He even joked, "She's not quite a juvenille delinquent yet." I was outside on my front porch watching her. If they felt this was uncalled for, they should have come to me, so why call the cops?

The majority of the women that work in our public library shouldn't even be there. They are so rude, and treat kids just terrible, so I don't even let mine go over there anymore. It shouldnt be that way, my kids love to read, so I now buy their books. And most workers (and head librarian) are ex-public school teachers substitutes in their 60's, if that give you any idea.

Anyhow, the cop said based upon the video, my daughter did absolutely nothing wrong, BUT he still had to follow up on their complaint and come over to my house. And until this happened, I had no clue that every hour I spent on my porch was being watched by THEM if they so felt the need to delve into my private life. By the way, again, this is a small town, and this street is fairly low traffic, few homes, and very quiet at night.

So again - isn't this illegal? Can't something be done about it? We live in Indiana.

Just wondered, i'm doing taxes for a friend who's 3 year old daughter attend both preschool and daycare, but they are different facilities so she has to pay fees for both. She works full-time so often the child is in preschool while her Mom is at work.

I'm working on a friends taxes, and though i've been doing my own for many years, this is the first time I have had to deal with a divorce & bankruptcy situation. So here is the question.....

My friend filed in early 2009 for divorce and bankruptcy. She was head of household (the POS didn't want to work and lives with his Mommy now - still unemployed). Anyways, are any of her expenses for either the Ch 13 or divorce deductible? She pays $400/mo into the bankruptcy plan, lost her home, and for this year, will be claiming 2 or their 3 children as dependents.

So are the following deductible:

Lawyer fees

Ch13 payment plan

Anything else???

My son is in Kindergarten and has his first show and tell tomorrow. He needs to take in something starting with the letter L, but I am drawing a blank as to what he can take. We don't have any Lions, because he has never been into them. I'd send snacks but I can't think of anything I can throw together quickly. Help Please!!

She is 2 1/2 years old. I took her in, and they started right about 13 hours ago. There were some complications. Turned out she was pregnant and we didn't know until they already had her opened up. They removed the puppies, which were about 6 weeks gestational, and the size of Kiwi's.

The vet did put her on an IV, but as far as I know, it was just to give her fluids. He said it was a bit rough for her, but she came out of it okay.

About an hour ago - 12 hours after the procedure, she started vomiting. The first time it was a LOT! She vomited 5 times in only 2 minutes. Each time was less, but every time was green. The last time was slimier then the others, and had some white slime mixed in with it.

She ate nothing today or yesterday per vets rules. I've only given her a few teaspoons of water & an ice cube since we've been home.

I'm concerned. Is this normal & possibly due to anesthesia? Or could it be something serious?
