to take guardianship? I don't want to do that. Or do I just "wait" until things are so messed up etc., etc., etc. She doesn't have any money. I just want her to be in a safe environment. She is 73. All opinions are welcome. This is effecting me mentally and I don't want to have a heart attack. Thanks.

A woman arrived late for her flight and was not allowed to board the plane. She became irate and was handcuffed and put into a holding cell, where she was left until she quieted.

They went in and found her dead; somehow the handcuffs had become wrapped around her neck.

At some point, her flight was rebooked.

Five years ago, my granddaughter booked a flight for herself and me to Oklahoma City. Since she wasn't sure if I would be the one going with her or her mother, she booked the flight in her mother's name. On the day of the flight was the first I heard that the flight (which was paid for by me) was not in my name.

I had to take a later flight and pay yet another fare.

Delta would not do anything about reimbursement, even though I had paid for three flights and one went empty, through no fault of mine.

I can understand this woman getting irate, even though it was a different airport and a different airline.

I don't want to judge, so I will ask first. Why don't Chinese girls shave underneath their arm pits?

Please no jokes, I want the real reason.

Okay, this isn't really a very serious question, but I thought it would be interesting to see people's thoughts on the matter.

In general, homophobia means fear of or hostility towards homosexuality, right? But if we look at the etymology of the word: "h omo-", Greek prefix meaning "the same", and "-phobia", Greek suffix meaning "fear". So technically, homophobia means "fear of things that are similar". Bearing this in mind, does that mean the heterophobia is fear of straight people or fear of things that are different? I know that it doesn't really exist, but supposing that it did, which would it be?

I know people are tired of the "Am I Gay?" or "What makes people gay?" question, but I need to know something. People say that its genetics and stuff. What if you never knew anything about homosexuality. For example, and I'm being honest here, I did not know homosexuality even existed until I turned 13. It just never came to mind. Not even heterosexual relationships were in my head. We don't talk about it at home so I found out accidentally on the internet. When I learned more about it, I started judging my own self, since I never wanted to go with boys. Look, I don't know if its just puberty, late genes, or some teen phase, but if you can understand what I'm saying here, it would really help all this confusion.

The Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,

even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter,

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble,

it's a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.

Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love;

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,

it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be.

And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life,

keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann

The only other time in American History where a non-white person was used in US currency was the buffalo nickel. But he was replaced by Jefferson. The Sacagawea is being replaced by the Presidential $1 coin program. It seems the public doesn’t seem to favor any non-white person on their money. Why is this?

Tonight I plan to make some buttered popcorn, sit in my uncomfortably modern sofa and watch a Johnny Depp movie.

Considering the fact that I'm gay, what possible health risks should I be concerned about?

I want you all to know about this very terrible microscopic enemy so that you have the chance of protecting your children and grandchildren.

It is in the States right now (as well as Australia, and other warm countries) and it is killing people.

The article says that all it would take to prevent infection is wearing of nose clips in "algae bloom" water.

This CREATURE eats brain tissue! A science fiction fantasy, you say? Not according to CDC.

I am still crying for the family of the boy who died. A 14 year old child murdered by a microscopic creature for wanting to splash around for his birthday?

And there is no cure...once you are infected, you are as good as dead. Make sure YOUR family doesn't join this one in their grief. Keep your young ones safe.

I was raised in NJ. I used to get sinus/allergy headaches every Spring and Fall. In Florida, I rarely had them. Here in Wisconsin, I'm getting them each Spring and Fall. Nothing over the counter is helping, and neither is anything the doctor had me try. It gives temporary relief sometimes, but not this time. Day 4 now. I figured there is something that grows in the northern US that doesn't grow in the south. Do any of you go through this as well?

I am EXTEREMLY opposed to gay relationships. I think the only reason gays turn to be gay is because they cannot find someone of the other sex to be with. This is my opinion and I know I will be cut down for it, but I just wanna know what your opinions are on this matter. I agree that gays are people too, but why do they have "Gay Pride" and all that kind of things. Just because I am straight doesn't mean I am going to walk up and down the street saying"Straight Pride!"

Humans are born gay through their dna make up (pun not intended). I go along with that, fine. But are we the only species on this planet with this trait? Do we know of homosexual jelly fish or colonies of ants that have become outcasts to the ferocious soldier ants, and set up their own gay communities. Silly question probably, but one I'm curious about.
