That's it! I am getting a windbell and putting it in our bedroom! The earthquake on Thursday morning was scary here in Chiba, had the dishes clanging and windows rattling. My husband covered my daughter while I ran for the door. He grabbed one of my skirts to cover himself…

My heart goes out to the people of Myanmar. How unfortunate that their government has to hide and cover up the things that they are going on in their country to the extent they are forcing tens of thousands of people to die needlessly. The government is afraid that foreigners…

I used to get groped like that on the train and in other public places by japanese men all the time. I reported it, but it never ended up in the news.

An intentional spanking on the rear end or a smack on the hands (after a firm warning)yes. Parents should have the right to do such things should they choose to do so.

We have stopped going to family restaurants due to price increases and wierdos sleeping at the tables. Plus, the menus have gotten fancier and although the food quality has improved, we can only afford Saizeria or occassionally, Jhonathans for breakfast. Denny's is way too expensive.
