    Palin:I Want to Play a Major Role in National Politics 'If People Will Have Me'

    Get the facts or form prejudical opinions Interesting to see so many people responding negatively to the media portrayal of Governor Palin and not to the real person. Here's someone more qualified by experience than our president who took on big oil companies, who courageously had a downs...

    I wish to delete my account - valid reason.

    While there's a lot of junk on the net, it's easy to avoid and bypass. I spend several hours most days surfing and the main place I've seen stuff I wanted to avoid was on this forum. So, this arguement doesn't make sense in that light. Why can't a forum created around a specific topic stck...

    I wish to delete my account - valid reason.

    Agree with concerns I'll have to say, even as a new member, I've been perplexed what all that junk is doing here. I don't read it either, but even some of the titles seem to far exceed pg-13. I'm not leaving because of it, but definitely not coming here as often nor recommending the list...

    I'm new, latecomer with relatively minor hearing loss

    Thanks for the welcome. Regarding prices, I've just become keenly aware of this pocket book issue. The technology seems simply amazing and from what I've been reading new technologies are leaping onto the market. There's always a price to pay for such things, but I've now done my small...

    I'm new, latecomer with relatively minor hearing loss

    Hi, I'm John, I'm 65 and have been ignoring a growing high frequency hearing loss for some years. I'm now in the process of getting set up with my first hearing aids and regretting not doing so sooner. I also regret not having taken precautions over the years while shooting and using power...

    Children need be spank???

    Correctly done, disciplinary spanking is not violent or abusive. Never use your hand. Use a flat paddle-we often used a wooden cooking spoon (makes a louder sound with a lesser swat). Make sure what the child did and why it's wrong (rebellion to parental authority is the main thing). Use just...
