Terrible. Sorry if you have already said, but may I ask where this happened? I would like to look the case up.

Hoping your Granddaughter is holding up as best she can.

It happened in Colorado. A very disturbing story, this is the latest news that I have seen about it though they still haven't revealed any details , theres suspected gang rivalry involved according to some and videos posted to Facebook, I don't know accept to follow the links, its so heartbreaking.
:saddd: My heart goes out to all those touched so closely by this horrible tragedy. (((((King family fan & family))))) Looking at these horrible faces of evil is enraging.

If you hate holidays, it's because you're doing them wrong--emphasizing the wrong things.

Don't necessarily agree with this. You can be trying very hard, and emphasizing the right things, and other people can mess the holidays up for you.

My ex, who would pick a fight any day of the year, became more on edge and liable to get angry during the days before a holiday. I grew to especially dread Thanksgiving and Christmas, because I was bound to "mess up" and spend the days crying and trying to get on his good side so my kids wouldn't suffer. So now, every holiday, I have that dread feeling in my stomach, even though he's not around. It's ingrained in me, and it's very hard for me to enjoy any holiday now.

Please be aware that any phone number with area code 876 originates from Jamaica. Someone from this area code will call claiming you won a prize and must call them back to verify. If you do, you will be charged the very expensive long distance rate to Jamaica, so don't. Also don't give such people the time of day.
Advice from Clark Howard is if you don't recognize the number let 'er ring! If the caller is on the up and up they will leave a message.

Fair enough. I hope that since you got rid of the 'thing' that was ruining holidays for you, they improve (((hugs)))

Long sad story. It was my mom's. Made a painful impression on me in childhood as when visiting my aunt, she pointed to the book in a bookcase and said, "I'm glad I got that one. Your BRATS would never appreciate it." This was within full earshot of me and my sisters, none of whom were doing anything remotely bratty at the time. I learned the book was rare and obscure but after going online found one for $150.00. Meanwhile Mom's sister had passed away, the sister's daughter helped Mom look for the book and they couldn't find it, plus their copy was all beat up so Mom was happy to pay, even such a price, for a mint condition copy. The book would have been around 100 years old at the time. My niece didn't rip up the whole book, but stuck in a wadded damp tissue. I should have removed the book when I found that and reported the offense, but after having my ribs stomped on for not being a nice aunt, I merely removed the tissue and replaced the book where she'd left it. It didn't take serious harm from that, but after I left she made pencil marks, eraser scratches, and tears, some of which can't be repaired and might cost as much again as the book did to attempt to repair. She was nine years old and knew better. We would have been skinned at six for damaging a book! Had I caught her at it I would have inflicted grievous bodily injury and never allowed her in the house again, but I didn't discover the severe offense until after they left. I did find two more copies of the book much less expensive but not as good, and my sisters were mean about it. No one apologized or made financial restitution, and that might have been the time when I got accused of "considering things more important than people." Unless some miraculous change takes place, I doubt I can ever read this book. It's just like ripping the scab off a deep wound. My sister also screamed and swore at me for objecting to my niece at around the same age, banging on the piano while I was asleep, then accused me of swearing. Finally I wrote them a long message and said the point was never who did what to me, when. The point is that anyone, relative or stranger, is allowed to inflict grievous insult and injury on me and no one bats an eyelash. If I get one hair out of place, regardless of circumstances, I am to be burned at the stake! I refuse to take it anymore. Don't know whether anyone paid any attention, though.

Wow that is awful, the parents should have disaplined her, that is awful, and the pencil marks and the damp tissue can cause lots of damage.. especially in old books. I swear kids these days get away with lots these days, I think I got labelled simmular with one set of familly members. Due to me not appreciating thier kids, ie watching a 5 year old at a mall and having him hold my hand and not running like 10 feet in front of me. They gave me **** about it. And then the child got losted at the zoo, I found the child but held him back to teach his mom a lession. I found him at the Bears and just stood their with him for a while untill I could her his. Mom going just nuts, then I brought him out and was like I found him by the bears.

Banging a piano, that is just stupid stupid stupid. Especially while a person is sleeping, but you are supposto tolerate it as it is children and they can do what ever they whant. Oh and wasting my mom's food, eating one spoon full of cereal and then dumping it down the drain. So,stiles familly mist does not understand you. I fell like this set does not understand me as I do not whant to marriage and kids, they think I am crazy.

Basically it boils down to we were given zero tolerance as kids for way, way less than the following generation takes for granted and God alone knows what the next generation may be. My mom scared my sister half to death before the age of 5 for burying a nickel to dig up later which was meant to go in the Sunday School offering. When this same sister had her own child, our cousin's son stole $40.00 out of the offering plate at the baptism and his mother just laughed.

Zero tolerance is also given for any misdeed on my part, by their definition--such as objecting to kids doing bratty things. It would be the same deal if I had kids, which THANKS TO THE GOOD LORD ABOVE, I HAD THE GREAT SENSE NOT TO DO! My kid could flick a booger and be boiled in oil, their kid could cover the entire side of a building in sludge and it would be, "Kids will be kids, why are you so mean?" I am given no explanation, no excuse, no apology for any act of destruction on their part and read the riot act if I so much as shed a hair at their place. I've given up. I finally told them they can believe whatever they want, it won't make it true and it won't make me have to accept it, and just leave it at that.
