This 10 year old needs serious help. Children are just so innocent. They can be frustrating, but there is never a good reason to hit a toddler.A child, almost anyone most of the time. This girl sounds like she has some serious, deep-seeded anger issues.
My son is 3, 2 wasn't that long ago. To even think about harming a child is incomprehensible. The look my son would give me when he'd take a spill by tripping on something can be enough to melt me in my place. The innocent, puzzled hurt look, the little cry.It strikes me inside in a way I can't even explain. How anyone could purposely do this, "throw her into the bathtub", brings me on the edge of tears, and I'm a grown man. They are so innocent, and capable of such love,how could anyone possibly do this?My prayers go out for the little girl, I hope she heals physically, and especially emotionally.This is a traumatic event for anyone,let alone a 2 year old.Wow. Just,wow. I am logging off, and I need to sit in the rocker and watch my son sleep for a few minutes, to reassure myself he is ok, to hope this little girl will be too.

I'm normally not one to nit-pick on writing and grammatical skills in the answers of others, but the least you can do when trying to argue your point about not finding a job is make yourself look like someone would want to hire you! I'm glad you made your paragraph into two sentences instead of just one,but even people who have run out of benefits without jobs realize the problem with extending benefits past NINETY NINE WEEKS.
You lost your job, possibly with NO fault of your own. Although from what I infer from your short and terribly constructed retort, it may be your fault you still don't have one.

What would you consider giving you a "break?" How much is enough? How long? Until you find a job?I mean what is enough? When is long enough? Look at this as your last break, that after this, there is NONE. No more. Remember the date it runs out, and realize you HAVE to get a job by then. That sense of slight panic you should feel is good.It's your backer. No matter how discouraged you get, or dead ends you meet, or "almost" getting the job after the interview, never lose sight of that. I'm not trying to be condescending with that suggestion, just laying it out in black and white.Most of us are or were in your shoes! Don't forget that the next time you want to laugh at the middle aged person working whatever job it may be.

By now, you(we) should have attempted quite radically to adjust your life so that you CAN afford to live on unemployment,because you have to. Is it fair? No.But before the recession, it still happened to people. They go for years working a job, feeling secure on an income, only to lose it in a flash. Granted, houses were easier to sell, jobs were easier to get, but people still went through what MANY people are now going through. It's called life. Two years ago I felt terrible for those left stranded.A few were my closest family members and friends. A year ago it was still a terrible taste in my mouth, and I heard and listened to the struggles, as well as the stories of perseverance. Today, I read your comment and wonder what you mean by "give us a break", because as far as I know you've been given multiple "breaks" (extensions) already.I also know that I have been laid off TWICE in that time, and I have still managed to find work. Don't expect to make twice what you're making on unemployment. Do expect that you'll eventually have to make whatever you can make OFF of unemployment.

Sure I have facebook. I guess they sell info much like credit card companies, most businesses with your name and address,and countless other options. Facebook is free. Anything you put onto your account is done by your admission. If people are really that afraid of who they really are, or who "really knows" who they are, do what some do-close the account, or become paranoid and afraid people might actually see through your facade. I don't understand this big uproar about facebook. It's like anything else, you don't like it? Don't use it. Don't want people to see certain things or know specifics? Don't disclose the information!!!!
Pretty simple, right?
It's called social networking, It doesn't have to be an open, soul bearing autobiography. Relax, people! There's REAL issues down in the gulf! Right here at home with jobs! Facebook is moot.
Although their marketing strategies by linking ads for things you like in accordance with things you have on your profile is absolute genius. And the selling of that info seems like a pretty obvious choice to make if I were CEO =)
Just my thoughts!

On Facebook... yes or no?

mike1st, your post isn't quite clear, especially ".try too be natural user here,doctors get paid too push them too,imagine that.."
But if you're talking about natural things to take, heroin comes from a plant. So does cocaine.Your body metabolizes heroin into morphine no matter how you ingest it.Alcohol comes from fermented plants. Drugs are natural. Why did god put anything here? If that's the route you travel,anyways.
