I see a lot of barbarism expressed on this answer and it is a good thing we live in a country of laws, not men.

Some pedophiles are in protective custody and in some states they have there own prisons. California comes to mind. 

We have law for a reason and there is a reason the law … Read more

As loathsome as paedophiles are, it's not humanely possibly to hand them over to the justice of the mob. If we do that, why not dispense with the trial altogether and just lynch them?

As practical as it sounds -- for they will never be safe to turn loose in the community -- we can't … Read more

Firstly DO NOT confront the emotionally abusive parent.  He or she will deny it and and try and make out you are too sensitive or imagining it.  Keep very calm and nod.  Don't shout back either... When they are attacking you ignore them... But pretend to listen. Remember all the things they say aren't true... … Read more

First I kept a seizure diary.  I charted her sleep and diet, what happened 1 hour before and then specifically the 10 minutes before the seizure, duration and strength (i.e. grand mal), 10 minutes after, and one hour after.  This info could help … Read more

Of course!  But, I don't get upset.  My grandfather once told me, "Never loan money, unless you're willing to make it a gift."  Three loans we've given, became gifts. 😊  My aunt gifted us our loan when we were newlyweds.  She tore up our repayment check, and said "Your debt was paid in full with … Read more

Hi Anonymous!  Sorry you're down.  I'm working through a pile up of family issues myself, including a sad diagnosis.  It's hard!  I find it takes at least a half hour of joy to change my outlook for an extended period of time.  I actively seek things that make me smile, like these:

I donate to shelters for the homeless and domestic violence. 

The only time I gave money directly was at a store. A local man I knew to be homeless was trying to purchase food.  He didn't have enough money and left.  I asked the clerk to ring his items up with mine and bag them … Read more

I can't choose a favorite genre.  I'm all over the place!  I care more that it has fun replay value.

Here's some of my favorite games: 

Nintendo:  Maria 64 got me started.  I still love it!  MarioKart is a hoot!  Zelda, ended up playing the whole series!

PlayStation: Diablo.  I'm on torment level VI.  Reminds me of … Read more
