    Have You Went To Psych Ward Before?

    I'm an old man now but had a lazy, cowardly, abusive, SOB of a father. I forgave him daily for many years. Then, he raised a cane to my mother when he was 84 years old. I guess some things never change. Are you a minor? If not, you should really find a way out. The military was my way out...

    Feeling Lonely

    We just lost a 14 year old in our community. Took his own life. Seems like a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Especially at 14!! We can't know other's demons. Only advice I have is keep walking the tracks. I grew up in a small town and spent many a happy walk from one town to...

    Closed Captioning Question

    Does it on all three sets in the house. I HOPE it's a setting. I'll try and dig a little deeper in my world. It's something I toggle on and off using the DirecTV remote/receiver. BTW, I'm watching Golf Channel this morning. Their captioning is perfect. Does not do this so having two on...

    Closed Captioning Question

    YES! The exact verbiage I listed above. Every second screen of captioning. The "And he say..." thing is always the first line and ALWAYS covers up what the person is actually saying. One really does miss a lot. To the best of my knowledge I can only turn captioning OFF or ON. Not settings...
