What if..
[Read the article: I wish my stepchildren would go away]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What if the father dies? Are the Children returned to their biological mother or stuck with the step mother? How would the children be treated without the father present as a buffer?

An emergency
[Read the article: Breast is best in Massachusetts]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Three days after giving birth I was rushed to the ER at 3 in the morning with a 104 degree fever. The free formula, which I took only because of my sister inlaw's insistence saved the day. Even the most ardent pro breast feeder could find herself in a similar situation. Always have a couple of cans of formula and bottles on hand.

employees
[Read the article: Women's "culture shock" in the workplace]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I supervise about 10 women aged 16-32. My experience is that most have never been criticized in a work setting and don't know how to handle constructive suggestions and criticisms. Most become defensive and unwilling to acknowledge job performance concerns. I tried my best is not an acceptable reply to an utter failure to complete an assignement on time and correctly. They also require a lot of hand holding and you go girl compliments. The schools, parents, whomever have not been good at teaching younger workers of either gender how to dress, talk and act in even a casual business setting.

Not funny
[Read the article: "Dear Mr. Leno: Gay people, to you, are great material"]

Another great book
[Read the article: The lost boys of Colorado City]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Banner Under Heaven is quite good. Another take on the issue is Predators, Prey and Other Kinfolk by Dorothy Allred Solomon. She grew up in a polygamous family. She discuses the emotional issues her mother and the "sister wives" had with each other. Interesting stuff. I also don't understand how the wives continue to collect welfare. You can be assured if they were black the government would have dealt with this years ago.

Elected is the key word
[Read the article: OK then, it's unanimous]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Chaney runs for president. Bush runs for VP. Chaney resigns for his health. Bushie becomes President. Technically he wasn't "elected". Also likely, he refuses to step down when the new President is elected.

Ridiculous
[Read the article: Ask the pilot]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If liquids are the issue, why allow them any where near the airport? Why are liquids safe in the terminal up to the security screening and dangerous past there? When gate vendors have their supplies delivered are the liquids checked? The illogic of these restrictions are mind boggling. We have become a nation of fearful wimps.

Not working here either
[Read the article: Maybe voting machines are "cowards," too]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I was the third person in line when the polls opened in San Diego. It took 30 minutes to vote. There was one guy trying to repair five machines. Some people were given paper ballots and the rest of us were made to wait while the harried tech person dashed madly about. Then poll workers kept handing my card off to each other, sort of like 3 card monte. A conspiracy? Or sheer incompetence?

Hail Mary
[Read the article: What Mary Cheney should expect while she's expecting]

NEVER
[Read the article: My boyfriend freaked out because I had a threesome]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Never give a man "the number" or place/position. Also, never stay with anyone who withholds sex. Its demeaning and the blow to your self esteem is terrible.

Punches

Yuk
[Read the article: Rosie Trumps the Donald]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Trump is vile. He obviously has serious issues with women. And whats with calling the beauty queens girls? Trump is like a second grader whose only response is "fatty fatty two by four" I have never been a Rosie fan but I have to agree with Joan on this one.

Forget Edwards
[Read the article: Real talk with Bill Maher]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Before Edwards is annointed, can we look at Vilsack? The guy has an actual idea about energy/fossil fuels! Had a difficult life: An orphan! Worked in a red state, although small. Actually has a few ideas. Edwards is media-genic. Has maher invited Vilsack on the show?

Wyoming
[Read the article: Ask the pilot]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Years ago, air traffic control at the Laramie airport was a guy with binoculors on the roof yelling, "yep its safe to land." The parking lot featured random parked pickup trucks (with fully loaded rifle racks). Other than the ATC guy no one seemed to work there so no one knew whose trucks they were. It was possible however to have hot welcome back sex with your cute U of Wyo boyfriend while waiting for your luggage. Off loaded by the ATC guy, binos firmly at the ready.
