Girl's organs removed after vacation death; family believes they may have been sold
Wed May 15, 2013
- I'm definitely up for donating my organs. But if anyone did this to my child, they'd be donating their organs as well. This is horrific. Absolutely unconcionable. I know there are beautiful parts of India that would be wonderful to see. But there is no way in hell I'm going there. Not when you can't …
No more selfies: Travelers snap up vacation photographers
Tue May 14, 2013
- Half the fun is taking the pics yourself. Who wants endless photos of you in front of this, me in front of that. Yikes. I prefer a more journalistic, capture the moment approach. This just seems so contrived. Lola, Trixie (my Nikons) and I would never consider it.
Opt out or left out? The economics of stay-at-home moms
Fri May 10, 2013
- In reply to: Zannie84 #1 Personally, I worked full-time for a number of years. We calculated it and it turned out my salary covered daycare/preschool. Why did I continue to work? Healthcare baby. The healthcare offered by my employer was (and still is) a damn sight better than by my husband's emplo …
When an uncommon name gets trendy: Leave my name alone!
Fri May 10, 2013
- I feel for you. I grew up wanting a normal, vanilla, white bread name. My name is unusual, but really easy to pronounce and spell. But it is so similar to Christina, Christi, Kristen, etc. I'm forever spelling it though I don't think Krista is all that difficult to understand. Now I love it. Though …

Fri May 10, 2013

1 in 8 boomers reports memory loss, large survey finds
Thu May 9, 2013
- Personally, I clicked on this article because this is my mother. It's at the point where I can't leave her alone with my children any longer. It's very scary. And what's worse...she won't seek help. She will not go to a doctor and if my brother and I could get her to see one, she would not (adamantl …
List is out! Most popular baby names are...
Thu May 9, 2013
- None of my chidren's names are on the list. LOVE IT. Why be common?
Exclusive: Turkish PM Erdogan: Syria has crossed red line, used chemical weapons
Thu May 9, 2013
- Why is it countries are always calling on the US to do something? Then they bitch and complain that we are 'invading' their wonderful way of life. I for one am tired of it. Stand on your own damned feet. You want to defend one side against the other, go right the f ahead. Then you won't have to blam …

Wed May 8, 2013
- Holy maird. I'm very glad she'll survive. Glad and amazed.
Should the operator have stayed on the line? 911 call concerns some pros
Tue May 7, 2013
- 1. It sounded like a male. I could be wrong though. Years ago when my daughter was very small, we were at home when an officer arrives at our front door. I'm baffled. Then he asks if I have a small child, to which I replied, 'Yes', just before all the blood rushed from my head. He then asks where m …
