    Texasgirl, Although you are not my Mom, Happy Mothers' Day. Males generally are self-centred and ignorant of the needs of others. Believe me, as a male I know what I'm talking about. Your son at the moment is going through another stage of his development and believe me he has failed. I did...

    Middie, A swift kick in the pants for leaving your car unlocked. Now, a shoulder to cry on and 2 arms for support. The sense on invasion of personal space is very hard and knowing that some lowlife scumbag in profitting from your loss is really gross. Hoping the perps use those illgotten gains...
