Talking to Somebody Who is Deaf in One Ear

Talking to Somebody Who is Deaf in One Ear

Four stages of online moneymaking game

Excellent article. I'm in phase 3, but very aware that phase 4 is next. Always has been for everything I've done. I doubt I'll always do exactly what I'm doing now, but I'm enjoying the journey.

A Parent's View of Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Thank you frugalrvers - it is difficult to be positive with my son's behavior the way it is sometimes. He thinks life would be easier with his father instead of here where I make him do things that he doesn't like. I make him do things that ...

A Parent's View of Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Such a painful experience, Angel. I had a good, healthy relationship with my only child much of her life. Though she didn't have ODD, she was alienated from me for a few years and turned into someone I never knew, saying terribly hurtful things. ...
