Prayers for a friend: Garrard McClendon's parents killed
2009-10-21 02:20:00 Last night, CLTV and WGN reported a story on a couple murdered in Calumet City. I will spare the details in this post, but it was a homicide.Today I was on live on set at the end of our WGN News at 5 p.m. As soon as the cameras shut off, we knew something was wrong. Our team of producers was in the studio, waiting to deliver some awful news.The couple found dead in Calumet City were the parents of CLTV's Garrard McClendon, host of "Garrard McClendon Live," and a blogger on this Chicago Now site.My heart aches for Garrard, one of the most positive, encouraging forces in my world. I couldn't imagine this happening to anybody, but it happening...
Most Insufferable Prep School Alumni (& Parents): Lab, Parker, Or Lati
2009-10-15 16:44:00 I'm not sure that Labbies are the worst of all when it comes to insufferable private school alums and parents -- at least not over time. For example, everyone knows that Latin alums and parents are (most of them) complete jerks. And Parker? Well, there's a reason that school experienced one of the city's first swine flu outbreaks. Parker alums and parents are the worst of all.
No TV: Parents go too far
2009-10-13 02:14:00 Dear Mel,Once or twice a week, I like to watch a TV show while I do my homework. I like the break from my otherwise busy week, and I couldn't keep up with my favorite shows otherwise. However, my parents don't want me to watch TV anything during the week, because of school and stuff, and they forbid me to turn in on. I don't know if I should turn this into an argument or not, because I think they're being a tad unreasonable, especially since I get all A's. What should I do?-tvTime...

2009-09-21 22:50:00 The estate of a 20 year old woman is suing the man who allegedly supplied her with heroin and beat her to death as well as the man's parents.

The complaint further states that Gina went to the home owned and occupied by defendants Chester and Teresa Young with Thomas Young where Thomas Young then "violently struck and beat" her. Elsewhere in the...
Parochial school parents are not unfairly paying twice
2009-08-31 16:40:00 "Drew" left a comment, yesterday (Sunday, August 30th), in which he complained that it seemed unfair that parents who send their kid(s) to private school are paying twice, and that parochial schools "give a better return on the money." There are a market basket of public services that are available to citizens. Those services include public housing, public feeding ("food stamps"), public transportation ("transit"), public education, public liibraries, public parks and public health care (Medicare and Medi-caid). Almost everybody uses some of those public service, but nobody uses all of those public services, if you can afford not to. However, there is no refund or discount for those public services that you choose to not use....

Hell is Other Parents: A Book I Can Totally Relate To!
2009-08-21 08:19:00 I'm asked to read lots of books for review, and although I'd love to read every single one, there will never be enough time in my world to get through even half of them. However when this pitch came through, something drew me to it. Not sure what exactly led me to the light, maybe the title, maybe the cover (way to bring back the "Baby on Board" type sign, I actually wish I could get the "Hell is Other Parents" one, I'd proudly display it on my car), or maybe it was the fact that the book is composed of essays instead of a long drawn out biography. Regardless of what drew me to what I consider a mommy masterpiece, I love Deborah Copaken Kogan and think that we should be friends...With swim school in session, I have exactly 45 minutes a day to myself.

Parents, Teachers, Talk to your children!
2009-08-19 04:34:00 There is a strong dire need for all parents and teachers to talk to their children about what Ham and his crackhouse does to everyone's minds and how will they brainwash them into following their dogma that will delude them into never telling dinosaur from dragon, shun out historical facts that speak of atrocities committed even by Christians themselves before Darwin has ever learned how to write let alone was ever born, and calling lie, "truth" and truth, "lie." Not saying anything about it will increase their vulnerability towards this kind of dangerous dogma. I refuse to marry and have children because I would be a bad mother, a bad wife, and land in situations I would not like being in if I do choose to do these things. But I feel for families everywhere nonetheless who will have to deal with this kind of thing every time they go to church, every time they watch TV, every time they travel down the road, and every time they surf the web. Punch up words like "dinosaur," "dating ...

Parents Who Come Home Late
2009-08-04 19:51:00 Sometimes, it feels like our lives our run by punctuality. Be at work by 9am. Be at the meeting by 11am. By at the doctor's office by 1:30pm. Pick up the kids from school by 3pm. Be at the softball field by 4pm. Finish a work assignment by 8pm.So, when you've actually made plans to get the heck out of the house and get a break from all of those responsibilities and structure, the last thing you want to do is be a slave to the clock. But your babysitter? She IS watching the clock.You might not think twice about promising to be home by 10pm but arriving closer to 11pm, but it's actually not as harmless as you think......
How to Survive Living at Home With Your Parents…When You are Almost
2009-06-28 02:49:00 If you find yourself back home with the ‘rents while looking for a place to live, towing a spouse and two kids behind you, here’s how to get through the experience with some style and grace. What makes me an expert? One time I yelled “NASCAR isn’t a sport!” Just last week I tasted Mom’s leftovers, accidentally ate bacon, and ended up on the toilet for three hours. Don’t get me started about where I mistakenly stored my love toys. (Hint: Stay away from dresser drawers marked Rosary Collection.) Style and grace. Trust me. Here we go. 1. Pretend you are deaf and blind. This is especially helpful if you are a converted Jew who hardly believes in God and your parents are devout Catholics. Just pretend you don’t hear the nightly chanting of the rosary. Make believe you can’t see Jesus looking at you in every room. Ignore kids’ questions like, “What’s wrong with Nana?” But be careful when moving about in the Ho...

Caring for Elderly Parents
2009-06-25 17:32:00 It can be a rewarding mission, a two-way street filled with joy!When your parents grow old and are no longer able to adequately take care of themselves, there are a number of ways to deal with this natural development of aging. Too often, their grown children opt for a nursing home solution, even when they know their parents would prefer to stay in their own home, or perhaps move in with you. It's easy to rationalize this choice. Some kids of aging parents feel they're not qualified to give the proper time and care required in caring for elderly parents. Others feel that such an arrangement will eventually result in discordant relations among family members, or that their own hectic schedules will become unmanageably disrupted. What most people in this position fail to realize is that, instead of being a burden, caring for elderly parents can be a wonderful blessing.Many children of the elderly also end up feeling guilty, believing they just don't really want to provide the neces...

Parents face prosecution over 'gay' education class protest
2009-03-07 19:13:00 Sara Dixon in The Times'PARENTS who took their children out of school to prevent them being taught about lesbian, gay and transgender relationships are facing prosecution.Around 30 pupils from an east London primary school were absent from a week of special lessons to highlight non-heterosexual partnerships.To mark the event some students watched a special adaptation of Shakespeare?s Romeo and Juliet retitled Romeo and Julian.Stories covered in the lessons at George Tomlinson School included a fairytale about a prince who turns down three princesses before falling in love with one of their brothers and the tale of Roy and Silo - two male penguins who fall in love.The protesting parents said the content was more appropriate for secondary school pupils and now they face possible court action.Some of the parents said they informed the Leytonstone school they were removing their children for the week.Pervez Latif, whose children Saleh, ten, and Abdur-Rahim, nine, attend the school, sai...

7 Year-Old Sent to Hospital Under Baker Act - Incompetent Parents Might Sue
2009-02-16 17:04:00 How many times have you read about some nutty kid who shoots up a school or hurts himself and the surrounding community blames school officials? Dozens of times, right? Schools are then required to do certain things under the law if presented with a child who might be at risk to hurt himself or others. Recently, a story dominated the news about a kid who was severely beaten by his mom and her boyfriend. Once again, the article wondered why the boy’s teachers didn’t sound the alarm. Now we have a case where a child is clearly a danger, so school officials call police. The cops arrive promptly and haul the kid off to the hospital for clearly-needed mental health counseling. Richard and Barbara Smith, parents of the year, are threatening to sue. In a perfect world, the Smiths would be on trial - in danger of losing their parenting rights altogether. We must decide once and for all - are parents in charge or not? Is the community responsible to act in the child’s best ...
I also do a mean "Parents Just Don't Understand." In a cockney accent.
2009-02-14 13:38:00 I never told my brother, but last year when we went to Florida, our first option wasn't Tampa and Orlando, even though that's where we ended up going, and included a visit to him and his house. Our first option was Miami. We didn't go to Miami for vacation, though, because we thought it'd be expensive.Just like when we went to Las Vegas for our last vacation before that -- we weren't going to go to Vegas, but we ended up picking that city because we thought Miami would be too ritzy for us.As a result, I've always wanted to go to Miami, but have never been there. Instead, I'm just left looking at the snow that covers the ground 362 days a year here in Wisconsin and dreaming of the tropical paradise that sits on my own continent, so close and yet so untouchable, like the pie under the glass at the diner counter. Only with more palm trees.Then I find out today that hotels in Miami Florida are not as expensive as I thought -- if I book them through Travel Today. Travel Today...
What we, as parents, are up against...
2009-02-13 13:50:00 I took the boys to this playground at the Mall on Monday night. The playground, for some reason, is made up of soft-plastic displays that are loosely related to energy. Or not. There's a white electric company truck, an energy-saving lightbulb, a TV, and a light switch. But there's also a silver pipe, a hollow log, and a flower. Overall, the message conveyed is "Conserve energy. Or something. Plus nature."Anyway. In this video, you will get a dramatic look at what Sweetie and I are up against as parents. This is Mr F and Mr Bunches playing. Mr F is in the foreground at the start, in blue overalls. You'll see Mr Bunches in the background playing behind him, in a striped shirt. Mr Bunches appears not to be paying any attention to me as I try to get some footage of Mr F. Keep an eye on what he does... He not only did that that time, but four more times. Once he made it all the way over and I had to jump over and get him back.

I suppose I could just stop there and let you all back to your relishing of the quiet, peaceful absence of presence that is having the kiddies back in our educational institutions, or sweat factories, where some of our favorite products are made. I'm sure they went back today too, but that's not that funny and I'd rather receive spam than hate mail. Actually, I'd rather receive both the electronic AND ham/pork/beef versions of it instead of hate mail so I won't mention sweat houses again. Sweat houses. It's the annoying side of me that had to say it just one more time.

Diabetes transmitted from parents to children
2008-10-28 05:37:00 A new study in the recent issue of the Journal of Lipid Research suggests an unusual form of inheritance may have a role in the rising rate of diabetes, particularly in children and young adults, in the United States. DNA is the primary mechanism of inheritance; kids get half their genes from mom and half from dad. However, researchers are just starting to understand additional kinds of inheritance like metabolic programming, which occurs when an insult during a critical period of development, either in the womb or soon after birth, triggers permanent changes in metabolism........
