of color, it meant more to her than I could understand since I'm "white." Much more was said and while her black friends agreed, I was confused by both her words and sentiment expressed.

She suffered through slavery as much as I have-none. Blacks weren't the only slaves and blacks weren't the only ones who fought for equality and to end slavery in America. While I'm considered to be white, I'm not ethnically devoid. In actuality-no one is.

I don't understand these sentiments-do many people feel that blacks are the only people "of ethnic heritage" or "of color"? Why is the black struggle considered only a black struggle when many whites also struggled for the same principles. Why are whites considered to not have ethnic heritage and to have never suffered slavery or prejudice

Example:

Cstint (name changed) asked for opinions on a statement she alleged was made by her mother in-law. I offered my honest thoughts. She didn't like it and began a childish jr high hate email campaign (basically just emailing profanity to me). Why would the opinion of a total nameless stranger mean so much to a person they would do something like that? Are they bored? Insecure? Hateful? Drama queens? Are there people who really do live no where else but online? Is it healthy (even if they don't have healthy relationships in the real world)?

Is there anything in your past (experimenting with drugs, an affair or an instance of really poor judgment) that you would really like to share with your daughter but won't for some reason-and what's the reason.

Perhaps a sick friend or family member who suffered a loss... what could be said to comfort them and possibly make them feel better?

If so how often.

In a relationship between a Muslim man and a Christian woman, in which they are separating or divorcing, would it be expected that the woman raise the child (male or female) only until a certain age? Does this differ between girls and boys?

to stay in the home until we could consult an attorney...next week :-/ She has been a stay at home mother for the past 6 yrs.

Has anyone experience with this? How did leaving or not leaving the home affect your divorce? How does being a stay at home mother affect alimony and health insurance? If she left the home and couldn't afford a place of her own right away-would that affect custody and if so-any ways to get around that? Thanks for any insight or help.

Her youngest is 5 and her oldest is only 10. I can't understand it because she is really nice and very honest. Her husband is soft spoken and also a nice person-how did all three get this way and how can she change them? I suggested sticker charts wich failed.

My son asked me-can anyone help?

I BELIEVE IT STARTS OUT WITH THE LINES;

"LET THE REVELS BEGIN, LET THE FIRES BE STARTED, WE'RE RUNNING FOR THE RESTLESS AND THE BROKEN HEARTED..."

THE REFRAIN IS SOMETHING LIKE, "THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE YOUNG..."

IT COULD BE FROM A MUSICAL BUT I'M NOT SURE- THE LAST TIME I EVER HEARD IT WAS THE LATE 80'S. THANKS.

I have a painted brick fireplace but don't like the color. While I prefer natural brick- it's too much work to strip it at the moment. I've always thought white was the only color that looked good on brick but I'd like to know others opinions on this.

from a pit. She started it only in water-no dirt. That's all I remember-anyone?

I've cared for my mother for the last 15 yrs-she passed on last year. My brothers all but ignored her. When she was in the hospital I asked she be kept alive until our family could gather to say good bye. My brothers who did not want to stay for her death held me outside her room so I could not spend time with her (it was important to me that I be there for her), they bullied the nurses and doctors until they disclosed her medical records, called me a murderer in a room full of others grieving for their own family for taking her off life support and signing a DNR. They created problems at the funeral home, theatened lawsuits, alledging multiple wills, misconduct that the undertaker refused to cremate her remains until everyone signed a release even though it was her wishes and I was her executrix. Now they are asking me for what they beleive is their inheritance-there is nothing left. The few articles of value I have given to my brothers daughters and our sister with the instructions to not tell my brothers they have the items at all. There are moments I think I should offer them something-then I remember-I don't want to be cruel-but I don't want anything more to do with them. My one brother wants to come in the spring to go through my home to find what he wants. He thinks he should be allowed to do this.

psychological evaluations, as well as yearly assessments on their ability to teach?

How often should evaluations and checks be administered?

I hate hot dogs and s'mores but I want something to do with the kids-maybe something seasonal, not too messy that we can eat off the stick while enjoying autumn weather. Any ideas?

I'm also curious-

I have a son who is also unbelievably loud-but he's not doing it to be rude or obnoxious-I tell him to whisper and even his whispers are loud. He's not deaf- are there just loud people in the world?
