Kids skipping shots increases threat of dangerous outbreak. One in three Arizona schools last year had kindergarten classes with vaccination rates so low children were left vulnerable to infectious disease outbreaks such as measles, mumps or pertussis, an Arizona Daily Star investigation has found.

I was a right wing nutter in the 90s. We didn't vaccinate our children because vaccinations caused SIDS and this and that and Government mandates and so on.

I then grew up, mentally. I threw out conspiracy beliefs and began to do some homework on my own. And then got them done. The kids have been up to date since then.

Mindless fear of some belief based on no evidence because of 'OMG Conspiracy' isn't gonna get the job done.

There were reports that teachers and others were late in their commute because of the mass bike ride, and that traffic at one point was backed up more than a mile. Students said they did call police beforehand to arrange an escort. Walker Public Safety Director Catherine Garcia-Lindstrom said she was informed that the supervisor on duty was contacted this morning about providing an escort. She said she found out about the escort after the ride.

I don't understand what the kids did wrong. If my kids rode 3 miles to school on a bike, I'd be happy they were out exercising.

I don't want them funding those operations, either.

He's using County funds for this. Not that I should be surprised. He's wasted far more money in the past.

I'll bitch about my sheriff's investigation into nothing if I choose. He's embarrassed our county and state and nation long enough.

He's now using our money for this BS.

And someone answer me this. He took up this cause because 200 'concerned citizens' asked him to. Up to this point, they were paying for this investigation. The question is: Does it bother anyone else that the elected Sheriff was purchased by 200 people?

A hat. Water (2 nalgenes). Good shoes. Eye wear so you can follow the well laid out trail so you don't get lost.

Oh and patience. That's for parking, tho. I've not hiked that trial in years. WAAAAY too busy.

I didn't say to be alone. My point is to find confidence in yourself so that you don't end up doing what OP did.

Being true to yourself also helps you to be a better partner in a relationship.

I moved to a small town in Western NY when I was in the 4th grade. I immediately fell for a girl in my class. I was too shy to talk to her. As Valentine's Day approached, I decided to make her a wonderful valentine, to profess my love. I worked on it and dedicated myself to its creation. The day before Valentine's Day, I had it hidden in a book in my desk. I made myself the last person to leave. I quickly placed all my valentine's on all the desks (those dorky ones you give each year) and then placed hers. As we always put our chairs on our desks at the end of the day, I strategically hid it under her chair. No one would see it until she took the chair down. I left for the night.

I came to school the next morning and sat there. I got my stack of cards from everyone and they were generally milling around. I could not, and would not look at Wendy (the girl I was crushing on). 2 boys came over and told me she had gotten it and was mad at me- she didn't like me. I hid my pain and eventually got over it.

3 years later.

7th grade. We did not share any classes except Study Hall. If you weren't in band, you went to Study Hall. It was 40 minutes of studying or more specifically, screwing around quietly.

A note landed on my desk. The guy said it was from Wendy. She hadn't said a word to me ... well ... ever. I slowly opened it and read it. It said that she liked me and had liked me since the 4th grade when she had gotten the V day card. She had just been too shy. She said she wanted to go out with me. Would I go out with her?

I replied, in detail, that I could not because of my religion (I was the lone mormon in a town of methodists, baptists, and so on) but really did still like her. I poured my heart into it. I walked by and casually dropped the note on her desk, tossed a piece of trash and retreated to my desk. A few minutes later I heard laughter. 2 guys were laughing. Wendy turned around, stood up, and told them she hated them. She looked at me and said 'and you're a jerk!' She wadded up the notes and threw them away. She hadn't written the note. They had. I had been played a fool.

I got over it, but damn that sucked. People can be assholes. I am sorry your ex played the power game. I hope you learn to keep your self for you, first.

Everyone keeps saying a civil war is going to break out. But it sure seems like it broke out a long time ago.

It only 'seems' like the 40s and 50s were conservative because of the TV shows and movies that were put out for mass consumption. Don't buy into it.

Ignore them. Do your thing. Do it as well as you can. Your success will turn them into fans. It may take a while, it may be grudging, but it will dome. Take it from someone with experience.

That, and that having more than one web browser on a machine will break it.

I work for a fortune 100 company and am on unix systems all day. Systems that host many web sites. I have had upwards of 10 browsers on my machine before (down to 4, right now).

Hey Governor, are we still renting the state government buildings you sold a few years ago?

I don't know if SNL did a skit on this or not, but I remember this being a huge joke in high school.

I picked the miner at Skor's Stone. She's not a follower, though. She mines, gives me my half of our store and something to eat. That's enough for me.

I may, eventually, move her to a home. But I'm not really interested in it. I travel solo with a horse, usually.

If I lived in Mexico and had possession of guns, no way in hell would I get into any sort of conflict with the cartels.

Over half the buildings in Skyrim are ruins and either inhabited by bandits or something else. If the kingdom is really that bad, perhaps the whole thing should be gutted and started over.

It's worse than Fallout 3.
