I know I am not alone when I say my only child has died. It baffles me on how many parents are out there since I became involved with three different support groups. Has there been a book or words you could share that would help? It was Nov. 11th, 2003 when I learned of my 22 yr old son's tragic death. I am thankfully a Christian and that has helped me handle and overcome all kinds of crazy thoughts in my head. Just wanted someone out there to know it is OK to talk about it and ask if there was any certain thing that helped them to cope??

It dawned on me in a past question that most uneducated people don't have a flying clue who Swift is.

He was a satiric journalist that used obscurities to address issues. He wrote that in order to give the poor Irish money and keep their population low that the English should buy the Irish children at 1 year of age for delicacies. You may think he's kidding but not everyone was so sure then.

It reads the same way as Coulter's books like "How to talk to a Liberal if you Must" and "Godless". They are meant to be embellished for shock value just like John Stewart, Steven Colbert, Bill Maher, Dennis Miller, and all the rest!

My friends and I are always arguing about tip. I say that we should always leave tip even when the bill comes with a 10% service charge. They say that the service charge is the tip. Eventually they all walk out and i end up leaving a tip from my own pocket alone. Should I continue doing this or are they right? Also how much as in appropriate tip?

I just saw Chris Wallace's interview with him; he was incredibly clear, concise, straightforward, with no vague, meaningless doubletalk. He displayed the most amazing knowledge of history than anyone I've heard in a long time. He makes Clinton and Obama combined look like a mental dwarf. The libs will be very, very afraid of this man.

Clearly, the mainstream media will have to smear the guy; wonder when the Democrats will give them the order to start?
