Hello, I am 50 and married for 30 years with 2 grown sons. My 25 year old is in the Army and stationed in Ft Carson, Co.. He served in Iraq for two terms with honors. My other son is a college student majoring in Psychology. I have done so much in my life that I feel I can offer good answers to hard questions. I am a Criminal Justice Major, Sociology Minor. I have owned many businesses in my life (liquor store, travel agency, property management/real estate office, housekeeping company) and was a Captain in the Civil Air Patrol, Teen Mentor, 4-H Director, Aerospace Instructor, Boot Camp Commander, Abortion Counselor, Teen Counselor, Author, taught classes, and have taken continuing education throughout my life. And now I am studying Spiritualism. My open mind allows me to give detailed answers on many subjects. I have lived a FULL life and had many experiences that I can share to help others. I take Yahoo Answers seriously and I hope I can help you in some way. Thanks, Sharon

  • Has anyone heard of the Chupracabra? Ugly Creature?

    I saw a documentary on this creature. It is ugly, looks like a dog but has no hair and bluish/gray skin, has sharp pointed teeth, runs like a dog but can stand on two legs, has red eyes, and drinks the blood of animals leaving puncture holes in the body.

    The even talked to people who have seen them and one woman who shot one and saved the body to analysis. These animals are in Puerto Rico, Mexico and now are in the USA (Texas and Florida). They have photos of them too.

    What are they? Do you know anything on these creatures?

  • What is this Chubracabra or Devil Dog? Found in Puerto Rico and Texas? What do you know?

    I just saw a documentary on the History channel about this animal. It looks like a large dog but has no hair, has bluish gray rough thick skin and large fangs. It is truly ugle and it attacks other animals and sucks the blood out of them leaving the carcass behind.

    In Puerto Rico they have been seen walking upright and in Texas on all fours. But in both areas they look similar.

    They have dead animals to evaluate and have found they seem to be part coyotee and part dog. But these animals eat meat not just puncture and drink the blood.

    Has anyone heard of these creatures? What are they?

  • Why are so many people leasing vehicles for only one year? Now the market is flooded with used cars.?

    I am so frustrated to see so many used cars on the market. The market is flooded and so it is difficult to sell a used car. I just found out Companies allow one and two year leases, not the normal three year. I was told they make more profit that way and the person moves on to another vehicle to lease. They can drive a new car each year. Sounds like fun but is it practical?

    This practice has pushed the Car Manufacturers to make many more vehicles than they normally would and it puts a strain on our natural resources.

    Should people be allow to lease for only one year?

    Where do all these used cars go when they can not be sold?

  • Frustrated by lack of respect and shoddy work from employees in businesses?

    I am so frustrated with the lack of respect and genuine help offered by employees in many businesses. You get either no help, those that don't care, those that don't speak english, and even those that offer shoddy work.

    I don't know who to trust anymore at businesses. You get shoddy work, poor food, disrespect, discrepancy of prices, and those with a don't give a darn attitude.

    Does anyone else experience this and notice that it is worse than ever?

  • What happened to the American Work Ethic and Customer Service?

    Have you noticed how you are treated as a potential customer?

    Have you noticed the poor services and bad food we are accepting everyday?

    What has happened to this country? We no longer care?

    Go to any fast food spot and look at your burger, does it look like the one in the advertisements? How are you treated, like a number?

    Buy a blouse or shirt, does it fall apart or shrink? Does anyone care?

    Try to get help when you walk into a business? Maybe even someone who knows what you are talking about? Have you been judged or treated unfairly because of the car you drive or the way you look?

    Do you notice arrogance around every corner? Mostly from the 18-35 yr olds at a business. Are you ever talked down to?

    Tell me your EXPERIENCES and how you handled them. THANKS

    I have many fruit trees on my property and we lose most of the fruit to birds.

    But this year I noticed the Quail jumping into the Cherry Tree and pecking at the blossoms. Will the tree produce less fruit because of this? Or can it hurt the tree?

    I really don't know how to solve the problems I am having with birds and quail in my cherry, apple, and pear trees?

  • Do you feel the Ouija Board opens your life to the Spirit World?

    Syliva Browne state we should never allow a Ouija board into our homes as it is like opening the door and inviting anyone in. Does that not sound logical?

    We can recieve good spirts and ghosts but we can also recieve messages from bad ghosts or bad sprits. How do we know who we are talking to or allowing into our home and can they stay around and raise chaos?

    I think she is right, how do you feel about it? Any experiences?
