The teenage drivers in our neighbourhood are ten times worse then the elderly..we live on the same street as 3 schools and I`m sick of the speeding up and down the street...at least the older ppl are slow!

I think that it`s unfair to say all seniors are bad drivers, but some are horrible, I think that maybe there should be a system in place after... 65 or 70 where you go for a driving test every few years or so. Some of them may never have had a driving test to begin with!! It is scary to see an elder creep along not seeing pedestrians or red lights, but it`s not fair to stereotype all seniors as bad drivers.

oh my lord don`t get me started lol! I live right next to The Villages, FL (retirement HEAVEN!) and oh my god elderly drivers are plain crazy! They are just DANGEROUS! Plain and simple.. should be removed from the road or required to take a test every year.

AFter a certain age people should have to take an eye and road test at least every 2 years. I used to live in South Florida, old people central and in one week I was almost run over twice in a parking lot. It is unfortunate that AARP is usch a strong lobbying group and prevents better laws from getting passed. The elderly are killing the rest of us and they don`t care.

hahaha I knew this poll was yours when I read it

Created this poll because in the last WEEK I`ve almost been creamed by not one, but two elderly women driving down the highway. Then trying to pull out of my parking space at Walmart today, I was about 3/4 of the way out, and an elderly gentleman in the aisle across from me just zoomed right on out behind me coming close to clipping the back of my vehicle (thank goodness for reflexes). Also it drives me bonkers when they do like 15 miles under the speed limit.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
