While you’re giving your niece advice, you might want to tell her how to avoid pregnancy in the first place. Instead of telling her what to do AFTER she screws up, why not help her prevent it?

How about telling your 16-year-old niece NOT to have sex? I guess that is just too hard to imagine in this day and age.

Government can track me by cell phone but cannot determine the whereabouts of a jetliner. Go figure.

In this day and age, why on Earth would anyone NOT wear a seatbelt? It defies logic!

When I was young and my dad was a farmer, DST didn’t matter to us. We worked from daylight to dark anyway.

We’ve got voting districts so “fixed” that only one party can win, soooo what happens? The incumbents ignore the voters' wishes!

My friend in Russia said that his countrymen hated having to host the Olympics because the money was coming from their pockets and they never asked for or wanted it to begin with. Putin rules like a spoiled child.

Throwing a Southern name on a business doesn’t make it truly Southern.

I have an unusual name. People mispronounce it all the time, doesn’t bother me a bit. Travolta didn’t mispronounce Menzel’s name. He called her by a different name altogether. Also, he looked stoned.

Teachers may not have received a pay raise but did you know they get an automatic step raise each year just because they have taught another year? Who gets that in their job?

Wow! Can’t imagine what influences Luckovich might be under if he actually thinks that HC stands tall at all!

The state grants the school systems an extra week to allow students more class time to prepare for the state CRCT. Clayton County, with scores not to be proud of, only takes two extra days! How stupid is that?

Hey Mr. Policeman, you’re actually impeding the flow of traffic! Stay at Krispy Kreme during rush hours.

It did not snow, sleet or rain this weekend. How rare is that in Atlanta?

I really liked Saturday’s vents. Not one gripe about left lane drivers.

I am a devoted Downton Abbey fan, but I still chuckle a bit every time the opening credits start, focusing on the tail end of Isis.

The mom driving into the ocean obviously has some serious mental issues. So no, she’s not to be blamed for a screwed up mind. If you understood mental illness you would know they have no control sometimes. I know first hand when my own grandmother tried to choke me out when I was 10. Why? She thought I was the devil.

You're lying to your niece. Rules are: she can’t get her tubes tied until she’s 25 or already mother to two children.
