What a sad story. I feel horrible for that little girl. Hopefully, she has other relatives or even friends to her family that can raise her. I am also shocked that rotten potatoes release a toxic gas. I am wondering how many pounds of potatoes were in the cellar.

Years ago, I was in a horrible car accident. A guy rammed into the back of my vehicle after stealing a cop car. Of course, this incident made the papers and I had to go to court and testify against him. Upon arrival, I saw one of the police officers this guy had tangled with that day. I am...

If people would smoke marijuana in designated areas, I would not be so offended by it. As with smokers, I would avoid those places. However, I think that since its legalization in Washington state people have just gone crazy. They only are thinking of the fact this drug is legal and not that...

This is a good question. Although your phone interview is over, here are some tips for other people facing the same situation. Be sure you . . . 1) Drink at least one glass of water and have spoken to someone already. This way, you don't start off with a crackling 'morning voice'. 2)...

I am pretty open when it comes to music. I love anything from pop to country. Depending on my mood, I'll play something upbeat or sad. These days, since I am doing a lot of walking, I go for songs with a beat. They usually encourage me to pick up the pace. I am also using my iPhone more...

My dream job would allow me to stay at home and avoid office drama. Why people just can't go to work and be decent to each other is mind boggling. Fortunately, in my current position, I work on a row with other employees who are nice. A few months ago, I couldn't say this. Because my company...

I live in Washington state. Marijuana is legal here. So, more than ever, people are smoking this drug out in the open. For me, this is a problem. Just as with cigarettes, the smell of marijuana is potent. I hate it. Smokers of marijuana don't seem to get that everyone isn't into their...

According to labor and industry laws, workers are supposed to get two breaks and a lunch during an eight hour shift. Do police officers abide by this policy? I ask because I rarely see officers in uniform at a deli or McDonald's. Then, when I do, they get back into their car and continue...

Reporting domestic violence is never easy. One of my neighbors was getting beat up by her boyfriend on a regular basis. Part of me wanted to ignore the sounds I heard coming through the walls (she lives below me), but the other part of me wanted to take action. Finally, after speaking to a...

The reason I asked this question is because my father and brother both retired from the military. They endured strict guidelines about weight. For each - standing 6'3 and 6'5 - it wasn't always easy. So, I constantly saw them exercising and eating right. I presumed this must be similar for...

On the job romance is common. It's natural to be attracted to someone you see on a daily basis. With this said, how common is it for cops to marry each other? Also, if two cops do get married, are they allowed to work in the same unit?

In TV shows such as Common Law, cops who are opposites often end up as partners. At times, they bicker back and forth like cats and dogs. Yet, together, these police officers end up catching the bad guys. I can't imagine this to be true in real life. What is the protocol for partners who can't...

You must really love him. After growing up in the military and watching my dad go away for months, I prefer a man with a more regular job. It's less stressful and you know that his job won't put him at a higher risk of death.

I thought this thread was a joke. However, after surfing the Internet, I found a pic of the product you're talking about. Pepsi flavored Cheetos will come out in Japan. Depending on how well people by this product over there will determine whether or not segments of America get to taste it.

On TV, I only see officers call for back up if they're about to confront a violent criminal. Yet, in real life, I have seen a couple of cop cars on the freeway seemingly dealing with someone who's less than dangerous. So, when do police officers call for back up? :confused:

A relative of mine used to be a security guard. She wore the whole get up, but could not carry a gun. My thoughts were that if something really did happen at her job, she probably would be very limited as to what she could or could not. Her main option would be the same as mine - call the...

As you probably already know, a running joke about police officers is that they are overweight. Although I have rarely seen a law enforcer who was obese, a few could lose about 20 pounds. With this said, do police officers get suspended for being overweight? If so, what are the parameters?

I pray, listen to a sermon and then, take action. Normally, this course helps me feel better even if things don't work out like I wish they would. My favorite preachers are Joel Osteen and TD Jakes. They both inspire me to see my life in a more positive light.

I think the quality of a cop is effected by his training, location and fellow officers. In my state (Washington), plenty of citizens complain about the local officers. Yet, I have had only good experiences when pulled over. Many times, I have been let go with only warning when the person...

Well, I am in the minority. No - I do not believe civilians should be allowed to carry concealed weapons. I believe this practice does more harm than good. People either end up hurting themselves or someone else in error. So, I wish the U.S. had stricter gun control laws. At the very...
