I, too, have had problems with Ravitch and appreciate yr actions.

When I was arrested on bogus charges, several years ago, I was manhandled and took pictures of the many bruises I sustained. When I called to file a grievance, I was told that I had to talk to the...

The non-profits I've worked with (I'm an EA/tax person) have not been LLCs or corporations. I, too, would get the Nolo Press book on forming one. You can also get IRS Form 23 for free which is the...

I hesitate to even respond to this comment as I've been saddened to see how often disagreement here gets labeled as ignorance or obvious closed-mindedness if the topic is controversial. And I don't...

This has been the case long before Obamacare, called estate recovery. There are ways to circumvent it.

I bought mine for $4.99, no contract. I don't surf the web on my phone, actually use it for phone calls. It's cheap, you buy minutes and they usually double them as a promo. It's a Tracphone - not...

I'm very thrifty and pretty immune to sales talks and guilt inducing tactics by funeral directors, even in the throes of grief-always opted for a cardboard box and cremation. Ashes go in the garden....

You might find that in many instances your so-called solidarity of opinion is because the only people who respond are those who agree with you, the rest of us ignore it. I might also point out that...

Unless you object to the spirit of it, there are many churches that donate meeting rooms for free or at a nominal cost -offhand, I can think of the church on Main and Covey in Forestville, in...

Sure some dogs bark but so do some wacos / emotionally

Thanks to you, barry. You're a peach. And wacco is the whole tree! Much to be thankful for every day.

At this point, Nobody for president again or Abbie Hoffman even though he's dead. It's kind of early to tell.

I can't believe there is still a controversy about this. I breastfed my kids in public places if they were hungry or needed soothing. I would just throw a blanket over my shoulder and sit in the mall...

Transparency is so rare in govt or in people if it comes to that. You really have to dig through those budget numbers and sometimes fight to get them. Then they tell you that you are reading them...

No, don't avoid psychotropic drugs if you need them. Perhaps many people think you should just pull yourself up by your bootstraps or exercise more - people who have never had a major depression. Or...

I can never understand why those people care if someone else believes in god. We're not demanding you do. Man, and they can be vicious in calling spiritual people stupid and they say science can...

Well, that's nice. I assume you are not interested in sex either. I am interested in why you would post in the
relationship section if you don't want one. That's like posting in the business...

Finally, someone is speaking out against this bigotry. Why doesn't the US bomb some more Palestinians? That
seems to be acceptable. Both subjects not to be brought up at dinner parties unless you...

NO. To hell with the planet, health and I have no money to save. I would pay for the wormy things with food stamps. I will try a lot of things once. This falls into that category.

What else needs to be said: who the heck is Amanda Palmer?

I thought the usual thinking/saying was "Better to let 100 guilty men go free than imprison one innocent one." Guess Scalia doesn't subscribe to moral thinking.

What's a quadcopter?

You might have tried all these things but you should be eligible for SSI and if you put your inheritance in an IRA and take out $5/month, it is considered exempt. Social Security is not based on...

I think Ravitch is a vindictive, immoral political animal with no regard for true justice.

She hunted me down because I challenged her and slapped contempt of court charges on me 8 months after I...

I would bet that if you didn't try to get everything at one place, galleries, reilly's, center for independent living, that other art supply store, walmart's, you could get everyone to give a little...

Over. My. dead. body.

27607:WaccoRays:
Evil dogs taking a well deserved break from their incessant barking. Getting ready for their next 6 hr shift in the rain (they are union dogs with required breaks). Yes, Lola looks...

I'm so glad we're not talking about Efren Carrillo.

Oh, dear, Edward You poor thing. And I suppose you missed the Nails, Siouxie and the Banshees, the Clash. But you DO know who Lou Reed is.

I don't think that's what Terr, Menninger and Mahatma Ghandi were referring to. I have to hand it to you, you anticircumcision people are really intense about what you believe but whenever I have a...

I'm not understanding why this is a failing of Efren . What about all the women strutting down the runway in tight dresses?. This is not a particularly unusual way to raise money, like auctioning off...

I think that's rather despicable. Why do you need to know the name of the rehab he's attending? You obviously don't know anything about recovering from the DISEASE of alcoholism. I'd like to know the...

If he wasn't so well connected, he would have been out in a couple of hours. I had a parallel situation happen to me -screen cutting, the whole thing. My not-famous lowlife was out of jail in 3 hours...

And I know of one ADA that was there long before Ravitch, a man of courage and integrity who has publicly said Ravitch is incompetent, unfair, and the worst DA he has ever worked with.

I, too, have met with Ravitch who I have no respect for at all. I am the mother of Houston Herczog, diagnosed as schizophrenic, who she was hell bent on sending to jail for life instead of a hospital...

I don't read the papers so maybe this is common knowledge but I haven't seen it mentioned here. Santa Rosa is planning/pushing to build a new courthouse. Not one damn long term mental health facility...

Linda, I didn't know it was you because the tone of yr comment is so unlike you. This woman is one of the most wonderful, generous, tolerant, loving women I know.

I still feel the same way that...

That slimebag Chris Andrian donated his services pro bono to defend , as you would have it, my slimebag of a young son when he was facing life in prison for having a mental illness. I can't believe...

By the way, in case anyone doesn't know this -the onus is on the prosecutor to prove his case beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I don't believe that. Sure each attorney gets to throw some one out bu.,t it's based on a long questionaire to weed out bigots, probably people who have been raped, have a bias toward Latinos. I...

And please , anyone who is caring for an infected dog, remember to protect our other animal friends and keep the infected animal inside and isolated. It sounds like the best place for this dog is...

Varda, thanks for taking the time to tell me a little about graphology and not using it as a decision maker but as part of a whole bank of input.

Evalena: I liked yr post but don't quite understand what you mean by the group's value in "upleveling" people's consciousness about money. That they won't get fooled again; they come to see their...

Are you talking about the squash??? I've just started reading this thread but isn't picketing and reporting them to the board of weights and measures a little harsh? Fraud because the 99 cent squash...

You don't have to be a skeptic to think this is an "odd" -read nutty- way to defend or prosecute someone on trial.
It might be an interesting way of looking at the case but to take it seriously is...

God here, what can I do for you? As Teresa Tudery sings, "Just put Mrs. God on the phone"

Colleen, please don't bring my name into your arguments. My son's life may not be that impt to you, but I care about him more than grapes and apples. I welcome hearing your opinions but leave me out...

I didn't know there was a conspiracy theory about Neighborhood Watches but now that I do, my score is zero. Though I do think there is a dog conspiracy where they all rise up at midnite and have...

Well, thank the lord. I stopped reading WACCO for several months because of the plethora of plain uninformed conspiracy theories about Carillo's treatment. We don't know what happened. Saying that...

I was just listening t o it yesterday (against doctor's orders). I crash my car a lot.
