We never go anywhere either. too dangerous!
my sympathies about your hubby :(
Yes, very dangerous...sm
I haven't even thought about getting her a helmet yet because she's only 9 months old.  I didn't realize I would have to worry about her being on anything this dangerous already!  It's pretty ridiculous if you ask me.  My brother-in-law has a 15-month-old who he takes on the riding lawnmower with him while he's mowing the lawn, and they don't understand why I need to have someone watch my daughter while I'm mowing the lawn!  I know they think I'm overprotective, but that's ok I guess. 
oh how I know - they are the most dangerous gang

most dangerous gang here in America - the world has become a very dangerous place....all some of us wanted was peace and love an all we got was guns, terrorism, gangs, death, and more destruction!


makes me VERY ILL..........


Oh Yea I SURE HAVE!! Equally as DANGEROUS!!
       
And I don’t think it is dangerous just to travel, sm
If I had waited for a Starbuck I might never had a trip before. Believe it or not, never remember seeing 1 anywhere I traveled. Your response is strange.
Speaking of dangerous LIARS
Have you made note of the people running OUR country into the ground - while killing with abandon in Iraq, etc., ad nauseam?
Banging his head could be dangerous...

My son did that a couple of times when he was about 3, and I was telling a guy at work about it.  He said his girlfriend's son did that all the time and actually got brain damage from it, which really freaked me out.  The next time he did it I just got down on my knees right in his face and told him verrrry seriously that he could really hurt himself doing that and let him know it was unacceptable.  He must have sensed something in my tone, because he's never done it since!


It sounds like he just needs to figure out a better way to manage his anger.  Maybe buy a book about how to help kids deal with outbursts or get him a couple of counseling sessions?  Does he ever express what is making him so mad verbally to you so that he can vent?  It sounds like he may just need to get it all out, and instead of doing it in a healthy way he hurts himself, so maybe that anger could just be redirected.


Maybe you could also explain to him that everybody learns new stuff.  Tell him if he doesn't let people teach him he will only be as smart as a 5-year-old his whole life!  Tell him he's smart for a 5-year-old but no one is going to want to hire someone with a kindergarten education!  I don't know if he will understand those exact words, but just try to get the point across to him that even adults learn new things every day and that's what makes us smarter.  Tell him to at least watch the way you do it and consider doing it your way.  Maybe if he knows he has a choice to do it your way or his way he will feel better.  Kids want choices too, I guess.  I don't know for sure, so like I said - I would try to find a book on the subject too or something.  Good luck! Before I had kids I had no idea how smart and sly you have to be to constantly figure them out!


Some people are just not aware how dangerous
it is. I tried to talk with my sister-in-law about her husband (the half-brother of my husband). She has worked in the medical field. I was so sorry my words not heeded. I have been around him, seen him falling asleep just sitting down, the wreck, even out of town with my husband 1 night my DH told me about his horrible snoring, he is overweight but diabetic too and does not pay much attention to that. You cannot help where they don’t want it.
I think it is a dangerous thing to do for several reasons.
First, it shows the employer that the employee is not responsible with their finances. Creates a feeling of always desperate and can never get enough.

Secondly, how can one ever possibly try to hold to a budget with constant borrowing from the future? You can never, ever borrow your way out of debt.

Sad.
facebook dangerous in my mind sm
Friends invite friends who invite "friends only" until there are people from all over on what is supposed to be my "family space" according to one family member. Never place a full-face picture on there as they can lift it and put it on a phony license, etc. My son had his identity stolen, had to take time out of work, travel to the city where the crime was originated and go to court. My son is Caucasian, the other person was not, it was horrific! I also do not like other family members posting pics of me and my family on there at every family function under their "family and stuff" albums. I am so sick and tired of preaching - nobody listens, they love the attention, they post every move they are making during the day which to me is sooo ridiculous! I feel the same about Twitter and My Space. I vote hands down.
Borax washing powder is not dangerous.....

Borax sold in the supermarkets for laundry washing and other uses is not poisonous to the public.  However, REAL boric acid is......just be careful with it.......that's all.....regarding pets and people.......



Tylenol (acetaminophen) is dangerous, not aspirin

Patti is right - aspirin can safely be given to dogs.  It's Tylenol (acetaminophen) that is dangerous to give to dogs, and I believe also to cats. (Anyone with doubts, please call the nearest veterinarian, but I know several vets have told me so, I've had probably 20 dogs in my life,  and though I love cats, I'm allergic to them )  The animal livers can't handle Tylenol like human livers (and it's also very dangerous to our livers in overdoses)   Chocolate is also bad for dogs, by the way. 


the best plan is lifestyle change, not some dangerous
like the previous poster said, the weight will come back when you stop. I have kept a food diary and counted calories and now am down to 108 lbs. Creating a calorie deficit is the only safe way to lose weight.
Severe warning about dangerous dog-toys!!

I came across this blog today on Craigslist:  http://www.thechaistory.blogspot.com/


And if you have a dog, it's a must-see.  It details what happened to a dog that was severely injured by a dog toy called a "Pimple Ball" made by Four Paws, Inc.  The dog ended up losing his tongue, and the pain he had to endure was excruciating. 


The dog's owner relates that the Four Paws Co. hasn't owned up to the fact that its toy is dangerous, and he's calling for a international boycott of Four Paws, Inc.  After watching his video links of his poor dog's suffering, even though I have cats, I plan to be sure I don't purchase ANYTHING from this company, andhopefully you won't either.



 


Just saw a report on news where they listed it as a dangerous drug
apparently caused something that looked like malignant polyps in the colon but other than that, people told not to take it on a first date, not good idea and you should maybe, starting to take for first time, wear dark pants. I guess that is so the orange diarrhea won't show through so much.
The difference is...the doctor is working in dangerous territory (sm)
on a person who needs help. The people are having surgery or in the hospital because they need help. The accidental gun deaths are completely unnecessary.
Cell phones - How dangerous is their long-term use?

Hoax or not, the long-term safety of cell phones is still very much in question!  They are not innocuous, and emit harmful electromagnetic radiation in varying amounts.  Just as policemen's radar guns laid in their laps have caused testicular cancer, so the incidence of brain tumors from cell phone usage has also been on the rise. 
That very thing happened to my stepdad, a brain tumor & aneurysm right above his right ear, where he holds his cordless phone constantly.  Cell phone signals decrease fertility of humans & animals alike, & Swedish researchers have proven that they are ESPECIALLY damaging to the brains of children!  Cell phone-using kids are FIVE times more likely to get brain cancer.  I gave mine up over 5 years ago & will never use another one on a routine basis.  This issue is being covered up, but is certain to become the controversy of the 21st century, just as tobacco was in the 20th century.


Please be aware that St. John's wort with any SSRI or MAOI can be dangerous - sm
...unless your physician is aware that you're using it in addition to your Rx meds. (Other things, like 5-HTP, if I'm not mistaken) can have similar potentially dangerous side effects in combination with Rx antidepressants. Just sayin' ....
