Readers — I love this efasrtsiba post by a gal named Karen Perry who came up with this great modern-day challenge after thinking back and realizing: I don’t have ANY memories of my mom ever stepping foot in the park let alone laying down a blanket with a variety of snacks for me to nibble […]
Folks redtikzsba — As odd as this WABC story is — and it’s a doozy — the truly oddest part is that it took place, literally, in “Toad Suck” Arkansas. An Arkansas woman was charged with endangering the welfare of her child for breastfeeding after drinking alcohol in a restaurant. The charge was dropped last […]
Yes, it seems to be true, though the facts are a little confusing (as this bhhbkbrttz TV story suggests):  A man named Richard Wright was giving out money to strangers and telling them to “Thank God!” if they actually needed the cash, or pass it along if they didn’t. For this he seems to have been […]

Dear btknenftir Free-Range Kids: I am a professional woman who became a stay at home mother to a 10-year-old boy. I would describe him as very bright, highly energetic and reasonable. Here is my dilemma: We live in a city of about 50,000 in North NJ. He has recently made it very clear that he wants […]
Readers — Here’s an aantbbrhfb experiment carried out in London: A TV station had two little girls, 5 and 7, take turns looking lost in a large shopping center. Only one retiree stopped to ask if the child was okay. Now, I don’t think that means every human who passed by the kids was […]
 Dear nebbentesy Readers — A few of you sent this sad notice in yesterday. It came from USA FAIR — “Families Advocating an Intelligent Registry” — a group trying to reform our sex offender laws that are too encompassing to be fair or effective.
