  • Stomach problems with my 2 year old son....?

    Ok, I am a nursing student so I should know the answer to this but....I dont. My sone has been having frequent bowel movements (4-6 times a day) and has been excessively gassy for the last 2 weeks. I have had him at the Dr and he said to wait, because it may be something viral. I changed him this afternoon and it was a yellow color, not mucus of anything. I will be getting him back into the Dr. on Monday...any ideas of what may be going on? I was thinking lactose intolerance or IBS...I'm just not sure.

  • Racism....?

    When I hear people like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton speak they are always putting race isues on things, do they never stop to think of this??

    There are African Americans, Mexican Americans,

    Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc.

    And then there are just Americans.

    You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.

    You Call me "White boy," "Cracker," "Honkey,"

    "Whitey," "Caveman" .. And that's OK.

    But when I call you, ******, Kike, Towel head, Sand-******,

    Camel Jockey, Beaner, ****, or Chink ... You call me a racist.

    You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you,

    So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

    You have the United ***** College Fund. You have Martin Luther King

    Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You

    Have Yom Hashoah You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi You have the NAACP.

    You have BET.

    If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) .. We'd be racists.

    If we had a White Pride Day .. You would call us racists.

    If we had White History Month  We'd be racists.

    If we had any organization for only whites to "advance" OUR lives

    We'd be racists.

    We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of

    Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.

    Wonder who pays for that?

    If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships

    ... You know we'd be racists. There are over 60 openly proclaimed

    Black Colleges in the US , yet if there were "White colleges"

    THAT would be a racist college.

    In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching

    For your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights,

    You would call us racists.

    You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're

    Not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride Â

    You call us racists.

    You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer

    Shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running

    From the law and posing a threat to society .. You call him a racist.

    I am proud.

    But, you call me a racist.

    Why is it that only whites can be racists?

  • Potty Training a boy???

    My son will be 2 next week and we would like to start potty training him, we already ahve the pull ups and potty chair. I have went through this with my daughter but I have heard that boys are much more difficult. Today he was walking without his diaper on (he has learned how to take it off) and started peeing, he was very curious as to where it was coming from, and even tried to make himself go more, my grandmother told me that this is probably the right time to potty train him because of his curiosity, I have read all the books but am interested on getting some opinions or stories of potty training a boy. Thanks!

  • Why can't they just get things right???

    There has been yet another recall of a childrens toy, this time it is Thomas the Tank Engine toys. My son has 2 of the recalled toys that have excess lead. Why can they just make the toys right, they should know that there is lead in the paint. This is not some cheap dollar store toy, they should have the technology and smarts NOT to use lead based paint. Do you agree?

  • What do you feel should be the penalty for driving drunk?

    I watched a show on Oprah yesterday and it just made me sick, To make a long story short, a wedding party was in a limo after a wedding and it was hit by a drunk driver, it killed and completely decapitated a 7 year old girls head and kiled the driver as well. The girl who was killed was the daughter of the bride and groom and the mother was on the side of the road holding her daughter's head. That man was convicted and sentanced to 18 years in prison and is now appealing that decision. I do not feel that it was harsh enough! These people who choose to drink and them proceed to get in the car a drive away should be made to pay for their actions, what makes them think this is acceptable behavoir. In my opinion if you drink and get behind the wheel you should be charged with attempted murder, that is just what it is, a total disregard for the lives of others. What do you think?

  • Should there be punishment for this man?

    What do you think about the guy who went on a plane with drug resistant TB? I personallly think there should be criminal charges filed against him, he had no right to go anywhere knowing that he had this incurable disease, now over 100 people could possibly be infected with it. What if he passed this on to someone that is immuno compromised, a child, or someone that had been on chemo, they could very easily die. What is your imput?

  • Just a bit down right now.?

    Ok so here is the story, my husband lost his job about 3 weeks ago and I have been trying to look on the bright side, but lately that can be hard to come by. We have 2 children and I am a full time college student. We have savings but it was supposed to be used for my schooling, I was just accepted into the nursing program and do not want to give that up, I have been working for 2 years trying to get where I am today. I know that things will work out, but sometimes it just gets hard to try to keep it together for my family, as I am the strong one and as far as the kids go, they know nothing is wrong, they are 7 and 2. I guess I am just needing to vent, finding encouragement from others. Not sure what answer I am looking for but any imput would be helpful.
