I dont understand why, when you have a policy that helps keep kids safe, WHY would schools want to do away with it? I mean its our children. Shouldnt we want what is best for them? questioned Kelly Addison, a mother of two in Reeseville, WI. Kelly is so adamant that she has spoken before her school board on five separate occasions, written her government officials and presented before two separate Senators.

What makes Kelly so remarkable is that her girls have never had head lice, replied Katie Shepherd, Executive Director of Lice Solutions Resource Network, Inc. a nonprofit treatment facility in West Palm Beach, Fl. Most parents have to be burned, so to speak, before they see the need for improved policies. Kelly...

Take Back Control Of Your Cell Phone!
When I opened up the bill I lapsed into what could only be described as shock.Calmly and without saying a word, I meticulously began auditing the document with a subtle yet very real sense of rage building from within. Concluding that the statement was indeed accurate and determined to never let this happen again, I went down to the local outlet and proceeded to inform the representative that I would no longer be needing their services.Smiling and remaining completely cool, the guy told me what we have all heard at one time or another when dealing with our cell phone provider: "You realize that you are still under contract and that there will be a penalty for canceling service with us." Four hundred dollars later (200 hundred for the bill and another 200 for canceling the contract), I walked out of the store and thought to myself I would never get another cell phones!But, like it or not, I ultimately discovered that I simply could not do this. I had come to honestly need a cell phone,...

Families Hire Convicts as Domestic Help
Washington, D.C. (ContentDesk) January 18, 2006 -- Many domestic help agencies claim to have strict hiring guidelines. But do not assume these guidelines are up to high standards. Several companies that were investigated relied only on a questionnaire to determine the employees worthiness. It is becoming obvious that the responsibility to guarantee criminal cleanliness of a nanny or housekeeper falls in the homeowners lap.Many people look to the help wanted publications in hopes of directly hiring a nanny or maid.
