[ - ] Regarding tornado. Why can't they mandate / change building codes in the tornado belt? To include mandatory shelter space underground in each area? I read that a mother was trying to hide in a freezer with the baby. Why won't we say every new house/ school should have a freezer type room? Too expensive? It's so devastating and it keeps happening every year. 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Of course it is to expensive! Those shelters cost 5-10K that is a lot in those areas. Moore looks like a pretty affluent area but a lot of towns in the tornado belt are very poor old farm towns. It is super sad but not a lot can be done. Thank goodness our meteorologist and the tools are getting better. They said the weather channel started talking about this tornado and possible path a early as friday. [ Reply | More

[ - ] My sister dropped a bomb on me this weekend and I wasn't sure how to respond. She said her husband and her having been meeting other couples online for the past year for drinks, dinner, and then sex. When she sensed I was being judgmental, she made the point that DH and I have a pretty passionless marriage with not much sex, something I've complained to her about before. She said I shouldn't judge her for having a fun vibrant sex life in her 40s ('recreational sex' is the term she used). They've been married almost 20 years, and I've always envied the strength of their marriage. Thoughts from the crowd? 9 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

OP: Hard part is that I can't really say what's wrong with it. I had plenty of sex before I got married. And I have plenty of divorced friends that have active sex lives. So it's hard for me to use the 'you might get an STD' argument or 'you have too many sex partners' argument. I guess I'm not even sure what too many is. [ Reply | More

General Topics 05.21.13, 01:29 PM Flag

Because it guarantees teachers a livable wage. It means that teachers with experience aren't automatically fired because they are too expensive. Sure, you can have a whole school of Teach for America grads willing to work 60 hour weeks for very little money and no benefits. Do you know what happens? Huge amounts of teacher turnover, as you see at charter schools. The union also provides due process so that a teacher isn't fired because the principal has a friend he wants to hire. If you think unions are the reason kids aren't getting good educations, then take a look at the schools at some non-union states, like Mississippi, and tell me what's going on there. Because why are so many kids way below standards? No union teachers to blame, so what's your answer? [ Reply | More

Common Core has many problems, especially in math. Those that love it have probably not used it much, but I've seen a dc go through the "old" system and the new "common core", and do you know what? All this talk of curriculums is a way for big educational corporations to make billions. Truly sickens me.

First question, why did you not give your child all the medication that was prescribed to him? I am guessing what is left is not enough to knock out your UTI, medicine based on Weight. Go to a walk in clinic, it will take 10 minutes. If you are UWS the 69th is awesome. [ Reply | More
