I think they're trying to draw some of the attention away from Obama and pull in some of the swing votes. Obama is getting attention because: 1. he's young 2. he's not white 3. he's not Bush. I think Palin was a good choice. She's going to help motivate voters. She's young, she's got children so the family crowd can relate to her, she's female, which is going to confuse some feminists (overheard in the office today: "He picked a woman for VP! I was going to vote for Hillary, but now I'll vote for her." (meaning Palin)). The people that were going to vote for McCain already are still going to. The people that were die-hard Obama fans are still voting for him. There weren't a lot of people in this election who were still making up their minds, and were planning on dragging themselves to the polling place to actually vote. Having Sarah Palin as a running mate may actually get some of those people who were going to stay home out to the polls, just for the opportunity to help make history, or just because they like her.

Been there. It sucks. Let me know if you need anything. I'll go with you if you want.

Hehe... yup. I don't cater to their every whim (Jojo is a dog, and dogs must be polite, trained, and have good manners), but I do everything I can to make sure they are comfortable and have the best food and medical care. I spend more on their food than I do on mine!

When it's not AIDS Walk season, my sig line is "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." which is from Harry Potter (the words used to activate the Marauders' Map). The current sig line is just my AIDS Walk link.

It depends on the state, since we don't really have incorporation of the Heller decision yet. Contact a firearms attorney in the states in which you are traveling.

We can't assume that her mother was a bad parent or that Bristol was left ignorant of birth control, since we are not privy to the private conversations between Bristol and her parents. Kids make decisions independent of their parents all the time, and at seventeen, most teenagers are pretty much thinking for themselves. Failing to instill your own values in your children doesn't make you a bad parent. Eventually, children grow up and accept or reject the values their parents have tried to give them, and sometimes kids with the best parents screw up, and sometimes kids with the worst parents succeed in spite of them. Children are more than a reflection of their parents, and there is no set recipe for parenting that will turn out a perfect child. I wish Bristol the best of luck with her baby, even though I'm not voting for her mother.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I made lime and tequila jello shots for the American Boogie. They were good.

Very nice! Tell her and her brother to make sure she gets some counseling, ASAP. She's going to need to vent to someone who's not going to go all protective on her. There's something very traumatic in finding out firsthand for the first time that the world isn't the safe place you always thought it was.

There's also married hetero couples who shouldn't be allowed within 50 yards of a kid.

If it's less than a year old, it may still be under warranty. Call apple and find out.

Just take it to the apple store. It's probably something simple.

The issue isn't so much with the state terminating rights; it's with voluntary relinquishment of rights. Remember Baby Jessica? That's every adoptive parent's nightmare. It's a lot less likely to happen if the birth parents are on another continent.

When I need to travel, I board my dog here: www.campbowwow.com Why did you get him to begin with if you weren't willing to accept the responsibility?. You don't just ditch an animal that depends on you because it's inconvenient. If you're really set on giving him away and don't find anyone here, contact the lab rescues in your area, and they may be able to help you. Do not give him to an animal shelter.

There is a mute. When it starts playing a song, use your click wheel and scroll clockwise, which should turn the volume back up.

I think I've still got my law school corporations textbook somewhere... that thing will put anyone to sleep!

Try going to the printer manufacturer's website and downloading the latest driver for your OS. Install that and see if it works.

yeah...that payback thing is not a lot of fun. I get my kids toys like that.....but they take it to their dad's and keep it there If it was one of my cousins, I'd get them something musical, but since these are people I don't know yet, I don't want to piss them off.

One of my friends with a two year old suggested this: http://www.amazon.com/ZOOBIES-92985-Plush-Crocodile-Zoobie/dp/B000PDJXNC/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1219424980&sr=8-4

I'm meeting them for the first time on saturday, so I don't really know what he likes yet. His grandma says he likes bath time toys, as well as puzzles and stuff.

I want him to have something to open. Little kids don't always get the gift cert thing.

I need to buy a birthday present for a two year old boy. The party is tomorrow... I've been told not to get him clothes. So, ideas?

The onus is on BOTH of you to make it work.

give counseling a chance and see how it goes. If you don't, you'll always wonder whether you could've worked it out. Try all your options before divorce, and it'll make the divorce go smoother, if that's the way you end up going, because you'll have talked over all the hurt feelings in counseling.
