  • My son is only four months old but I already have a "leash" ready for when he gets to walking age. Say what you will, but stories like this terrify me.

• Susan Powell's slain sons were 'beginning to verbalize,' lawyer says

  • I see a lot of people on here blasting the social worker, but she was just doing her job. I know the CPS here in Texas is far overworked and underpaid. I work only part-time and make more than they make at CPS and you are often considered "senior" if you've worked there for six months.

• Suit lets young folks feel like 75

  Thu Jan 5, 2012
  • I am not even 30 and I work with older people (over 50), some of whom are probably in better shape than me. I would be interested in trying the suit, though, although everyone's aging experience may vary. :)

• Kotex tampons recalled over bacterial contamination

• To get your kids ahead in life, get a college degree

  • Crimson Wife: I was adopted. I have two bachelor's degrees and a master's. No one in either my biological or adoptive families has even an associate's. Maybe I'm just an anomaly?

• 11-year-old turns in parents for marijuana use

  Wed Nov 16, 2011
  • I'll probably get flamed for this but I applaud him. I grew up with alcoholic parents who put me in danger on a regular basis and to this day I wish I would have called someone and asked for help.

• What does rising inequality suggest about the American dream?
