These Listings Aren't the 'Model' of Perfection (AOL Real Estate)
Aug 4th 2012 11:35AM The only kind of props I ever used were things that added charm. A nice picture on the wall, a pretty new shower curtain etc. To pull attention away from a small eating area, I once set up a small table with a beautiful lace table cloth with stools for seating. I pulled the eyes upward by installing a gorgeous lighting fixture overhead.
Trouble Blooms: Condo Board Sues Resident Over Flowers (AOL Real Estate)
Mar 20th 2012 5:56PM I was the condo board where I used to live so I understand the nature of this problem. People often buy a condo without realizing there are restrictions on the use of common land (which is usually all the land upon which your complex sits.) You don't have the right to do whatever you please with the patch of land near your condo. While the developer may have told this woman she could plant whatever she chose, he probably didn't put it in writing. If people don't like to follow rules, they shouldn't buy property in developments, whether condos or houses with a home association.
Pippa Gaining Ground on Top Baby Name List in 2011 (ParentDish)
Jul 29th 2011 4:17PM Pippa is only a good name if you're upper crust & British. But a regular girl doesn't want a name that sounds like she sings back up for Gladys Knight.
Pregnant Man Sheds Baby Weight, Shows Off New Bod (ParentDish)
Jul 28th 2011 6:18PM Most women want to burn calories like a man, but few would go to this extreme. Then again, that post baby weight can make women desperate for a miracle.
Mom Confesses 'Why I Don't Like My Child' in Magazine (ParentDish)
Jun 9th 2011 12:40PM I respect this mom for her honesty. We all know moms who don't like at least one of their children. They deny and deny and deny it, even when presented with the hard evidence. The child grows up wondering why doesn't mom like me? I hope these moms will remember their children need love and affection---even when they are less than perfect, fathered by a man she no longer loves, or the result of an unwanted pregnancy. Don't expect your children to be the manifestations of your daydreams. They are going to be the people God created them to be.
Girl, 7, Becomes Famous Artist By Mistake (ParentDish)
Jun 8th 2011 5:54PM Prodigies have one thing in common---they start young. I hope this girl has a long and illustrious career ahead of her.
'Genderless' Baby Raises a Storm of Controversy (ParentDish)
May 26th 2011 4:32PM They wanted publicity or we wouldn't be reading this story. These people must hope they'll get a reality TV show were we tune in to see if the baby's gender is revealed. Sooner or later, one of the other oddly named kids will spill the beans. It's time we stop humoring people who use their kids to seek fame and fortune.

May 17th 2011 2:13PM Sorry, Charlie...as they used to say.
Britney Campbell, 8-Year-Old Botox User, Taken Out of Mother's Home (Video) (Stylelist (Main))
May 16th 2011 4:36PM I can only wonder why it took so long to take this poor child away from her abuser. Anyone who would subject a child to the torture of needles and yanking hair off her legs is no better than someone who beats a child out of frustration.

The best way to frustrate a manipulator is to give him/her a dose of
their own medicine. Instead of pleading for a reconcilliation after a
fight, give them the cold shoulder. If they do it first, just don't be
the first to speak. If they get angry for something you did, don't
apologize and ask how you can make things better. Just sit still with
a blank look on your face. If they provoke you with insults (which
will surely come next) pretend you're turning the other cheeck. If
they threaten to leave you, you can guarnatee they won't just rush out
that very minute: BECAUSE finding a new person to manipulate takes
energy. But you should plan your exit carefully and then go on your
terms.
