While what you describe is not so pleasant, it beats the heck out of submitting to the ChiComs or the Muslim Brotherhood. Also, I'm sure it won't be constant, just occasional.
My wife and I had a 7 lb stillborn baby girl in 1992 who would have graduated from high school this year. It's tough right now, it's going to be tough in the future, in fact the pain of this may never totally go away - but you'll make it. God bless the parents, and the rest of the family; be strong, hold tight to each other. You will get through this. Talk about it a lot - it helps.
I still think the best way to combat this issue would be for no one to show up. Let them walk their half-mile walk alone with no one watching. That would make them mad and they might give up this hobby.
What if on Friday no one was there to watch them walk down the street? Now that would make them mad. They are doing this for the attention. Let's stop giving it to them.
Congratulations and here's hoping this business thrives. I wish the costs were lower so more Mainers could afford the shoes and be able to provide support, but here's one Mainer that may start saving in order to be able to do just that - buy Maine shoes and support business here at home. We need more entrepreneurial spirit like this; that and a pro-business governor.
This should not surprise anyone. Typical liberal who wants what he wants, unless of course it affects him personally. It's alright to push his views onto us, but just like Congress, exempt himself from his own causes (re: govt healthcare).
Wow. Only in America can so little be said by so many. Albert, I agree with you; the problem is that those who don't, don't have a vision of a loving God. And that's the sad part. But keep trying - some will come around, some won't.
This is too funny. Did anyone notice what cajunandmex said? "No Federal money will not be used for non documented workers." Using a double negative turns your statement positive. I guess Federal money will be used. Thanks for the clarification.
Publikwerks, you sure do know a lot about a church you don't belong to. It sounds like you miss it. Don't be like Martin Luther and run, if you really believe in changing things, come back and see what you can do. Another great thing about the Catholic Church - it always has open arms. The term "catholic" means "universal." The church is for everyone. We'd welcome you back without delay. And I've been away, and come back before - what a great feeling to come back.
Publikwerks, you are wrong again. The Catholic Church did not cover up, people within did - and I do not condone their actions. You can not convict all for the sins of a few. I am truly sorry that you are so bitter.
Also, thank you for the quote from Jesse Ventura. I always thought he was a bit lost, and now, sadly, I know he is. But there is always hope.
When one takes a stand for something they believe is wrong, attacks are to be expected. The Catholic Church is holy and right - its' people are not. We have all made mistakes and are sinners. The entire church should not be judged on the mistakes of a few. I believe the church is still a beacon of light in this ever darkening world. Thank God for a church that will still stand for what is right.
When I see the petition I will sign it, as I don't believe that changes do nothing to decrease state spending; it simply raids a different piggy bank. Why is it that the people can go without, but government never can? Look at the mess we now have in Washington. We are so far in debt we may never see the end of it, and it could very well lead to the demise of our great nation. We used to hold these people in high, esteem, but I don't any more. When a state senator encourages us not to sign a people's veto petition, we should do just the opposite.
We should treat all people in the same way that we wish to be treated. Charlie Howard should not have been killed simply because he was different. However, that does not mean that those same people should have special rights because of that difference and their wish to fit into society. Marriage has always been between one man and one woman, and should remain that way. I'm hoping that's how the people will speak by their votes in November.
I'm sure this will be a beneficial progam for children with working mothers as it will save the family daycare expenses. Personally I see it as just the government getting their hands on our children one year earlier. Seems the day is coming when they'll meet us as we leave the hospital. Why the emphasis on social skills? What about learning skills? My children seem to be watching TV or videos, or in front of a computer at school more and more all the time. Do the teachers even teach any more, or do they simply facilitate? Did you note the word "community" in the story? I still believe that being home with Mom is best for children, for as long as they can. I'm fortunate that my wife has been able to be home with our children and they've done just fine. I realize that a lot of families do not have that luxury and I think it's a shame.

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Small price to pay for doing our part to ensure national security.

I graduated from High School with Darren, but have been out of touch more many years. I am very sorry to hear of your loss.
