I just wanted to post a review for this weekend's Just Between Friends Sale. I was quite critical of last season's sale, so I wanted to be sure to post my experience today. I am glad I went, because…Continue

Interesting. I will have to read more into this after Christmas.  I have Meniere's Disease, and while it doesn't bother be much now (I don't even need the daily water pill anymore, so long as I maintain a good balance between my…

bizeemomma replied to Shawn Arnold's discussion 'Local Ways to Pick and Cut Your Own Christmas Tree'
We went to the Dade City farm a few years ago, and as a result have earned the title from my husband of "Christmas Tree Snob."   I am a die-hard Frasier Fir girl. And all the "Cut your own" trees were like triangular cut…

The Tbo commenters were the worst IMO, each article they would try to out joke each other, not in a nice way either.   At least there are only a couple haters posting on the ledger and it looks as though they can be handled on a case by case…

Alicia, just pick any story, any issue.  Then watch those people whom are our neighbors, that are so filled with hate toward another human being, or in those rare cases when they aren't really hateful, instead just so full…

As of now, it looks like most of the horrible comments were removed.  I reported the remaining one and it disappeared for me at least.

This was certainly a shock to our school. I am pleased we were able to raise money to help the family. The comments after the story broke my heart.

I have deliberately not gone back to the story because I just knew in my gut some people would be hateful :( It just sickens me what an insensitive world we live in. :(

bizeemomma, sorry not to see this sooner, I've been picking up kids from school. To answer your question, I'm not really sure.  When the Ledger and PolkMoms previously ran on the same software I could have given you all the abilities…

Insensitive is right. I just read the comments for the first time, and I'm choking back tears by some of the crass comments made by just a few fools. Thankfully, Wagner's assistant principal is on the job... Because she was commenting…

Very sad story. I also felt that the Ledger didnt have to include the "extra" details in the article. They had already said that the mom/dad lived in the home w/their children. And that many are grown and their children live there as well?…

Shawn, we (meaning you and me) know one of the first responders - keep her in your thoughts, this one has been particularly hard for her. :( Also, another friend's son is having a hard time understanding the loss of his classmate. I…

About this tragedy, it's plain and simple awful, the whole 360 degrees of it.  Alicia, good point on first responders.   I have a friend that's a fireman that recently told me stories that still haunt him, some things never…

The person who wrote it was definitely going for the poor migrant angle...but I think his intentions were to just invoke more pity and make the story even more sad. I agree...sad enough without all the poverty details. Heartbreaking.   I have…

I just wanted to clarify, I didn't mean the boy was implied as worthless... That was a really poor choice of words. I also wanted to say.... The story was edited at some point this afternoon, and 'trailer' was changed to 'mobile…

This story has hit very close to home to 2 of my good friends and I know how they and their children are struggling with it. As someone who lives in a "trailer" I don't really see the need to make that distinction. Whether it's a…
