Spaceport America: The Hub Where Future Commercial Space Flights Will Launch {AOL Real Estate}
Sep 9th 2012 12:17AM Someone had to get it started, and it didn't take a genius to figure out whom would be first to make such an investment with a very 'enterprising' future. I hope to be able to make such an investment in their stocks and all someday soon. Come on Lottery, help me get my foot in the door on this one, and more.
Thelma Taormina, Houston Homeowner, Pulls Gun on a Utility Worker Installing Smart Meters {AOL Real Estate}
Jul 24th 2012 8:58PM I agree with the woman to protect her own property, and against a person whom was shoving her aside. Push come to shove, the woman can file assault charges against the man for puting his hands on her, period! Something the greedy electric company is overlooking, is homeowners are just a few years or a decade or so away from being 'totally independent' of all utility corporations. Something they/utility companies should consider before being so obnoxious and insulting to the many hands that feed them. Eventually, they/the customers, may not be there anymore for them to take advantage of!
HUD Renegs on Letting Evicted 101-Year-Old Return Home {AOL Real Estate}
Jan 24th 2012 1:42AM It's a damned dirty shame that some people would do this to a woman whom has endured a long lifetime of so many hardships! You would think that with worthy cause groups like "Habitat For Humaity", or shows like "Extreme Make-over", that something positive could be done for this woman. To think that a government run operation would promise with one hand to let her move back into her own home, and then just to renig and pull the rug out from under her, is cruel to say the least. I mean, think, how much time does she really have left in this world of ours. At least let her spend her remaining years in the home she knows to be hers, and eventually die with "dignity". It all sounds like the work of really cruel, heartless, & greedy bastards,if anyone were to ask me. How would they feel, if it were to happen to them.

Sep 12th 2011 1:31AM TO rplnpty's LATEST REPLY; LMAO, SMART ASS I MAY BE, BUT A RACIST NOT. YOUR RACE NOR YOUR GENDER MATTER AT ALL TO ME, IT DOES NOT ENTIRELY DEFINE WHO OR WHAT YOU ARE, THOUGH IT DOES VERY LITTLE MORE THAN YOUR ENVIRONMENT & TEACHINGS THAT INFLUENCE YOUR OUTCOME OF CHARACTER. THE SAME IS TRUE OF DOG BREEDS, ETC. STILL, IF INCEST BRED, YOURS/ OR A DOGS MIND WOULD BE GREATLY DIMINISHED. PS; I NOTICED BY ONE OF YOUR OTHER POSTS, YOU MENTIONED HAVING HAD A PIT, ALONG WITH TWO OTHER DOGS AT HOME FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, LEFT THEM A NUMBER OF TIMES ALONE, ONLY TO ONE DAY COME HOME TO FIND A BLOODY MESS, ETC. TO THIS I SAY, CHANCES ARE THERE WAS FOOD IN THEIR AREA, WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED SUCH A PROBLEM. ANY RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNER, WITH MORE THAN ONE DOG IN THE SAME AREA, WOULD KNOW THIS SIMPLE FACT; "YOU DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOGS IN SUCH A SITUATION"! ALL DOG BREEDS TEND TO RESORT TO THE "PACK" SURVIVAL MENTALITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CONCERNS FOOD. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A TENDENCY TO TEST FOR 'ALPHA'/LEADER POSITION IN A PACK. ALL TOO OFTEN THE SMALLER DOGS, (NOT KNOWING ANY BETTER), WILL PUSH THEIR LUCK AGAINST A LARGER DOG ONLY TO BE EITHER PUT IN THEIR PLACE, INJURED, AND/OR FATALLY WOUNDED/KILLED! "NEVER LEAVE FOOD OUT/DOWN WHEN MORE THAN ONE DOG ARE IN THE SAME AREA! IT'S AN IRRESPOSIBLE, STUPID MISTAKE JUST BEGGING FOR SAD RESULT! THE SAME CAN BE SAID, IF ONE OF THEM HAPPENS TO BE IN HEAT. HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE ENOUGH TO SEPERATE YOUR DOGS IN SUCH SITUATIONS. TO rplnpty, AND MORE SO TO THE PUBLIC, LMAO, I SAY THANK YOU, MY CASE IS NOW PROVEN AND OF IT I NOW REST. TO CONTINUE SUCH BANTER WITH rplnpty, WOULD SIMPLY BE A WASTING OF BREATH AND TIME ON THIS SUBJECT NOW. LMAO, THEREFORE I BID YOU ADO, AND WISH YOU TO 'LIVE LONG AND PROSPER', WITH A "HOPE THAT rplnpty's CLOSED MIND WILL SOME DAY OPEN, & BE FILLED WITH KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM".

Sep 11th 2011 5:21AM IN RESPONSE TO # 161 rplnpty; APPARENTLY YOU DIDN'T READ INTO EVERY DETAIL OF MY POSTING. PART OF THE REASON SOME PEOPLE GET RID OF THEIR DOGS, IN ADDITION TO THE OBVIOUS THAT I MENTION, 1) SOME PEOPLE DON'T BOTHER TO RESEARCH THE BREEDS THEY CHOOSE, AND ARE SURPRISED OR SHOCKED & CAN'T DEAL WITH THEIR CHOICE. 2) OTHER 'PITBULL' OR 'PITBULL MIX' OWNERS, DECIDE THAT NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEIR PET MAY BE, BECAUSE MEDIA HYPE & OTHER PEOPLE WHO DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT THE BREEDS, BECOME SUCH A BOTHERSOME PAIN IN THE A**, LET THEIR BELOVED PETS GO BECAUSE SUCH PEOPLE CREATE TOO MUCH AGGRIVATION FOR THEM TO PUT UP WITH IT! AS FOR OTHER 'PITBULL/PITBULL MIX' OWNERS LET THEIR PETS GO FOR THE SAME REASON SO MANY OTHERS HAVE; THE ECONOMY IS IN SUCH DISARRAY & LOST THEIR JOBS/INCOME, (THANKS TO THE CURRENT FAILING, IRRESPONSIBLE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION), AND CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP THEM OR FIND ANYONE ELSE WHO CAN EITHER! AS I SAID EARLIER, I HAD MY DOG FOR FIFTEEN YEARS, NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH HIM. ALSO, I'M 56 YEARS OLD, I'VE HAD A GOOD NUMBER OF 'GOOD' DOGS IN MY TIME. MY WIFE AND I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ANOTHER PIT MIX FROM A LOCAL SHELTER, (SHE WAS ALSO A GOODNATURED, INTELIGENT DOG), BUT SADDLY WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY AT THAT TIME TO GET HER. WE STILL THINK ABOUT THAT DOG FOR YEARS SINCE THEN & WISH WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN HER. MANY DOGS ARE/WERE BRED FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES, BUT NOT ALL FOLLOW WHAT THEIR INTENDED PURPOSES WERE. JUST AS PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT RACES, AS YOU QUIETLY REFERED TO, DO NOT ALL FIT THE STIGMA ASSIGNED BY RACISTS. SOMETHING I DETECT FROM YOUR REFERENCE/" If you are born a white person, no matter how good of a tan you get in the summer (or in the salon) you are still a white person." IF YOU CHECK OUT CERTAIN VIDEOS SUCH AS, "AMAZING HOME VIDEO", YOU OFTEN SEE EXAMPLES OF WHAT THE 'PITBULL WAS REALLY DESIGNED FOR. SUCH AS ONE IN PARTICULAR; AT A RODEO, A LARGE BULL WENT ON A RAMPAGE, ATTACKING PEOPLE. OF THOSE BEING ATTACKED WAS A LITTLE BOY. A PITBULL TERRIER RAN INTO THE ARENA AND SAVED THE BOY FROM THE BULL BY ATTACKING THE BULL AND LATCHING ON UNTIL THE BULL SETTLED DOWN. HE RELEASED THE BULL, WHICH THEN RETURNED TO THE STALL. THAT IS ONLY ONE OF THEIR JOBS, "TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT AND THE WEAK"! ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF BREED WOULD BE THE 'ROTTWEILER', WHICH DERIVED IT'S NAME FROM "ROTTWEIL, GERMANY". ORIGINALLY BRED TO HERD AND PROTECT CATTLE, THEN THE 'BUTCHER'S GUARD DOG" TO PROTECT THE MEAT FROM THEIVES, AND LATER BECAME AN ALL-AROUND GUARD DOG AND FAMILY DOG. AS I SAID BEFORE, PEOPLE NEED TO "THOROUGHLY" RESEARCH THE BREEDS THEY CHOOSE, OR ARE THINKING OF CHOOSING! IF YOU DO SO AS WELL, YOU MAY BECOME NOT ONLY MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE OF WHAT YOU SPEAK, BUT MAYBE YOU WON'T COME OFF AS SOUNDING LIKE A RACIST.

Sep 11th 2011 2:40AM I'VE COMMENTED ON THIS SUBJECT A NUMBER OF TIMES. OF ALL THE DOGS I'VE EVER OWNED, THE PIT BULL MIX I USED TO OWN, (HIS NAME WAS STORM), WAS THE BEST OF ALL OF THEM. I GOT HIM WHEN HE WAS 7.5 WEEKS OLD AND HAD HIM FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. WHEN HE WAS GETTING DOWN IN HIS HIPS AND IN A LOT OF PAIN, (THANKS PARTLY TO SOME IDIOT HITTING HIM WITH HIS ATV), I EVENTUALLY ENDED UP HAVING TO PUT HIM DOWN. HE WAS A GOOD NATURED, INTELIGENT, AND FAITHFUL DOG 'TIL THE END. HE WAS A GREAT COMPANION & PROTECTOR OF MY MOTHER AND HER MINIATURE SCHITZU WHILE THEY WERE ALIVE, AND CONTINUED TO BE SO WITH MY WIFE AND HER TWIN DAUGHTERS. HE WAS AN EXCELENT JUDGE OF CHARACTER. A COUPLE DECADES OR SO AGO, IT WAS PRINTED IN A NEWSPAPER, THAT A TWO YEAR STUDY WAS DONE TO DETERMINE WHAT TOP TEN BREEDS WERE MOST LIKELY TO TURN ON THEIR OWNERS OR BE MOST LIKELY TO ATTACK & BITE OTHERS. THE PIT BULL DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE LIST, AT THE TOP OF THE LIST WAS THE CHIUAUA, FOLLOWED BY THE GERMAN SHEPPARD. THE BREED SIMPLY GOT A BAD REPUTATION BECAUSE OF IRRESPONSIBLE OWNERS WHO BRED, (SOMETIMES 'INCEST-BRED) AND TRAINED THEM SIMPLY TO FIGHT, KILL, AND TRY TO IMPRESS OTHERS. A MAJORITY OF SUCH IRRESPONSIBLE OWNERS. (USUALLY YOUTH GANGS), ALSO HAD A BAD HABIT OF LETTING SUCH DOGS RUN LOOSE IN THE CITIES, AND WHEN RUNNING LOOSE, (AS WITH ANY BREED), WOULD RUN IN PACKS AND OFTEN ATTACK. THIS IN TURN GAVE THE 'PIT BULL' BREED A BAD REPUTATION, AND THEN MADE MORE SENSATIONALIZED BY THE MEDIA AND THE ILL INFORMED. ANYONE OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THE OLD TV SERIES "THE LITTLE RASCALS", OR "SPANKY AND THE GANG", WILL ALSO REMEMBER THEIR MASCOT DOG WHICH ALSO HAPPENED TO BE A 'PIT BULL'. OWNING OR PURCHASING ANY BREED OF DOG REQUIRES THE OWNER/PURCHASER TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND TO HAVE OR ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SPECIFIC BREEDS THEY HAVE OR INTEND TO BRING INTO THEIR HOMES. ALSO THEY NEED TO KEEP IN MIND, PUPPIES AND DOGS LIKE TO PLAY, PART OF THEIR PLAY INVOLVES BITING OR NIPPING AT EACH OTHERS FACE. DOGS AND PUPPIES CAN HANDLE THIS KIND OF PLAY, BUT THE HUMAN BODY CAN'T. SO KEEP THIS IN MIND IF SUCH ANIMALS ARE INTENDED TO BE AROUND CHILDREN. ALL TOO OFTEN A PUP OR DOG HAS BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD BY IRRESPONSIBLE PARENTS & OWNERS, AND WRONGLY DETERMINED TO BE BAD OR MEAN. SUCH ANINMALS, (ALL BREEDS), THEN SUFFER THE CRUELTY OF THOSE KIND OF PEOPLE. IT'S NOT LIKE SETTING YOUR CHILD IN FRONT OF A TV OR GIVEN A TOY AND EXPECTING EVERYTHING TO BE JUST FINE. THE DOGS/PUPS HAVE TO BE TRAINED TO LEARN WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE & WHAT IS NOT, AS WELL, THE CHILDREN ALSO NEED TO BE TAUGHT. IF YOU ARE TOO LAZY OR UNCONCERNED ENOUGH TO DO THAT, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BOTHER GETTING A PUP/DOG. YOU ALSO PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN EITHER, AS BOTH REQUIRE RESPONSIBLE GUIDANCE AND LOVE.
Parents Upset After School Yearbook Lists George W. Bush, Dick Cheney as Worst People of All Time {ParentDish}
Jun 3rd 2011 2:08AM KATTY, IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE UPROAR OVER THIS MATTER, THEN YOU MUST BE TOTALLY CLUELESS, A YOUNG STUDENT, (WHICH USUALLY IN MOST CASES ALSO APPLIES AS 'CLUELESS', OR A DEMOCRAT THAT ADORES OBAMA, (WHOM I ALSO CONSIDER TO BE CLUELESS, BUT AT LEAST HE 'MIGHT' BE LEARNING FROM HIS MISTAKES, WE SHALL SEE). I'M SURE IF THE YEARBOOK WAS BASHING OBAMA, YOU'D MOST LIKELY BE SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER YOURSELF. A SCHOOL YEARBOOK, IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT THE KIDS & STAFF IN THE SCHOOL AND EVEN THE POPULARITY OF SOME OF THEM IN THE EYES OF THE STUDENTS, A FOND REMEMBERANCE. THEY ALSO ARE A PRINTED RECORD OF EVENTS RELATED TO SUCH. "IT IS NOT A FORUM OR SOAPBOX FOR A SINGLE PERSON'S OR MINORITY GROUP'S POLITICAL OPINION"! TO DO SO IS NOT ONLY RECKLESS & IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOUR, (THIS INCLUDES STUDENTS AND THE STAFF THAT PERMITED OR ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN), BUT IT ALSO LAYS WIDE OPEN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A NUMBER OF LAWSUITS, EVEN 'CLASS ACTION' LAWSUITS. IN ADDITION IT ALSO CASTS A DARK CLOUD ON THE REPUTATION OF THE SCHOOL AND IT'S STAFF FOR A LONG, LONG TIME, EVEN POSSIBLY CAUSE IT TO EVENTUALLY HAVE TO CLOSE IT'S DOORS!

Scary Movies and Your Kids {ParentDish}
Feb 28th 2011 12:29AM GIVE ME A BREAK, LETTING YOUR KIDS WATCH HORROR MOVIES IS FINE, BUT JUDGEMENT SHOULD ALSO SHOULD BE TAKEN ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. AS LONG AS THE PARENTS TAKE THE TIME TO DO THEIR JOB AND EXPLAIN THINGS TO THEIR CHILDREN PROPERLY ABOUT EVERY ISSUE REGARDING SUCH MOVIES THEY'LL BE FINE. LET THEM KNOW IT'S ALL PRETEND, THAT IT'S ALL FAKE. AND IF SOME OF THE ACTORS IN SUCH MOVIES ARE IN MORE THAN ONE OR TWO OF THEM THAT 'YOU'RE WATCHING WITH THEM', EXPLAIN AND REASON WITH THEM THAT IF THEY WERE ACTUALLY BEING KILLED IN ANY OF THEM, THEY WOULDN'T BE AROUND TO DO ANY MORE MOVIES THAN JUST ONE. ALSO LET THEM KNOW, NOT TO DO ANYTHING THEY SEE ON THOSE MOVIES IN REAL LIFE AND ALL THE REASONS WHY AND THAT IT IS VERY WRONG TO DO SUCH THINGS. KIDS ARE MORE INTELIGENT THAN SOME PEOPLE GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR, THEY'LL UNDERSTAND THAT IS ALL FAKE/PRETEND, AND WHAT IS RIGHT FROM WRONG. THE MORE INFORMATION YOU GIVE THEM ABOUT SUCH THINGS, THE MORE THEY WILL ENJOY THEM RIGHT ALONG WITH YOU. BY THE SAME TOKEN THOUGH, IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE BABYSITTING OR HAVING OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN AS GUESTS IN YOUR HOME, YOU SHOULD CHECK WITH THEIR PARENTS BEFORE YOU CONSIDER LETTING THEM WATCH SUCH MOVIES. IT'S CALLED BEING RESPONSIBLE AND CONSIDERATE OF OTHER PEOPLE'S DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR OWN CHILDREN'S EXPOSURE TO SUCH THINGS. HOWEVER, AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD BEHOOVE ANYONE TO BE RESPONSIBLE ABOUT ANY CHILD'S EXPOSURE TO ANY SEXUAL CONTENT. THAT IN ITSELF IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT REALM THAT SHOULD BE PUT OFF TO A MUCH LATER DATE, WHEN THEY ARE MORE APPROPRIATELY READY, LIKE SAY AT LEAST UNTIL THEIR MID TO LATE TEEN YEARS, AND STILL, THE SAME RULE APPLIES WHEN IT COMES TO OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN. YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO OPEN YOURSELF UP TO POSSIBLE CRIMINAL CHARGES AS A SEXUAL DEVIANT PREYING ON CHILDREN. THAT WOULD NOT BE GOOD AT ALL AND HARD TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF OUT OF, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. MY SON FROM MY 1ST. MARRIAGE WATCHED HORROR MOVIES AS A CHILD UNDER MY GUIDANCE, HE CAME TO LOVE THEM. HE IS NOW 33 YEARS OLD & SOON TO BE 34. HE TURNED OUT GREAT, NO CRIMINAL HISTORY, NO MENTAL DAMAGE WHAT-SO-EVER. I HAVE A DAUGHTER NOW FROM MY CURRENT MARRIAGE, SHE IS 4 YEARS OLD, SHE LOVES THEM ALONG WITH A LOT OF OTHER MOVIES, AND OFTEN REQUESTS TO SEE SOME OF THEM AGAIN & AGAIN. NO NIGHTMARES AS A RESULT OF THEM, AND NO DEVIANCE. SHE IS SPOILED ROTTEN THOUGH, LOL, BUT NO DAMAGE. KIDS LIKE TO BE SCARED A LITTLE TOO, AS LONG AS THEY KNOW IT WON'T HURT THEM. IT ALSO HELPS WHEN YOU LET THEM KNOW THAT IF THEY DO HAVE ANY DREAMS ABOUT ANYTHING LIKE THAT AT ALL, THEY HAVE THE POWER TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO IN THOSE DREAMS. THEY CAN MAKE THE MONSTERS & BAD PEOPLE DO WHATEVER THEY WANT THEM TO, PLAY, DO TRICKS, OR EVEN SCARE THE MONSTERS AWAY OR DESTROY THEM. CONSTANT REAFFIRMATION ON THAT NOTE WILL DO THE TRICK. TRY IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
Parents Try to Scare Daughter With Trip to Police, but They're the Ones Busted {ParentDish}
Feb 24th 2011 6:39PM It seems to me to be a case of misunderstanding and a failure to communicate to the officers the intent of the visit. The officers can't be expected to be mind readers and know your intent without the parents letting them in on the ruse & lesson to the child. By the same token, many officers these days, (mostly the younger ones), take things at face value and way too seriously at times. A few of them also just have a serious attitude problem about everything and shouldn't be wearing the badge & uniform in the first place. Thus the results posted in this article are an obvious one to be expected. Still, the problems of parenthood are compounded by 'overzealous idiots and so-called professionals' who 'THINK' they are doing the right things in the interest of the children. "THE RECENT EXAMPLE OF LOST YOUNGER GENERATIONS SHOULD BE PROOF ENOUGH JUST HOW WRONG THEY ACTUALLY ARE! TELLING US ALL DON'T SPANK YOUR KIDS, IT JUST TEACHES THEM VIOLENCE, OR DON'T POTTY TRAIN YOUR CHILDREN, LET IT BE THEIR DECISION. THOSE THAT LISTENED & LIVED BY THIS STUPID BIT OF ADVISE ENDED UP WITH LOST GENERATIONS OF YOUNG PEOPLE GOING AROUND WITH THEIR PANTS HANGING SO LOW IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THEY'RE SAVING A HUGE LOAD OF CRAP IN THEM, GOING AROUND GETTING INTO & CREATING ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE, AND TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER & EVERYONE ELSE TOO. IT'S ALL A LOAD OF BS WE'RE BEING SERVED AND PARENTS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORLD IS ABOUT PUNISHMENT AND REWARD. DON'T GO AROUND THINKING YOU ARE ENTITLED, IF YOU WANT SOMETHING IN LIFE YOU HAVE TO EARN IT. WHEN YOU DO WRONG YOU GET PUNISHED, WHEN YOU DO RIGHT YOU HAVE A MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF REAPING REWARDS OF MANY KINDS"! THE SOONER CHILDREN LEARN THESE LESSONS THE BETTER FOR THEM IN THE FUTURE.
