I don't think that's right. She's been released on bond to house arrest; the charges still stand.

It's badly worded. She fell in a sinkhole while looking for her cat. She was found dead after 4 days. The headline could have been clearer if they'd included the words "while" and "has been". *Grandmother who fell down a sinkhole while looking for her cat has been found dead. *

The cat may be dead, but the headline doesn't say so.

I think the headline states the grandmother was found dead, after falling down a sinkhole while searching for her cat.

If 3 patrol cars speed through town with lights flashing and sirens blaring anytime anyone needs a manager's phone number, that's even worse, sheriff.

Over a freaking whopper! This was totally an abuse of power. I'd love to see what happened to make the employees feel so unsafe that they'd lock the doors.

Stalking. It was a typo.

If someone is attempting to use her card, maybe it's time to talk to police? That's illegal, right?

His mom is in assisted living, not a nursing home. My mom is also in assisted living. She's got a stove in her apartment, she can cook her own meals if she wants to! Until recently, she could drive herself to Walmart if she felt like it. She has decorated her apartment in her own style because--get this--it's her home!!

Plus he hasn't said one thing about pointing a camera at his mother's bathroom!

It is her home. How disheartening to see you think it isn't.

Do not give your senior pet to an animal rescue. I think the mental anguish they'd experience they'd suffer from feeling abandoned would hurt them so, so much.

Do your best. Talk to your vet and ask for guidance.

We all face this, eventually. It is hard to face that our cherished pet is aging, but it's our duty to see them through.

I do not know where I got this from, but I thought all dogs were male and all cats were female. I thought this while I had a dog named Betsy and a cat named Sebastian.

If that's not bad enough on its own, I think I was in first or second grade when I learned the surprising truth. I wasn't a dumb kid, either. I learned to read when I was about 3.5 yrs old and started 1st grade as a 5 yr old.

I'm now in my 70s and I still can't figure out where I got that from!

My gastro uses propofol. When they wake you up, you are wide awake. No stoned as balls over here, alas.

I really like him, but I think she'd do much better naming a younger VP. He is exceptionally qualified, but he's probably going to quell some of the enthusiasm young voters are showing for Harris.

Democrats have been concerned with his age, it was being taken seriously, hence the calls for him to pass the torch. I think his age was being taken seriously. While he was the presumptive nominee, he would have had my vote because I believe Trump should never ever be allowed to serve again. I've said I'd have voted for a dead frog before I'd vote for Trump and that wasn't a joke.

I don't think it's hypocrisy to support the candidate you have been given, until he isn't the candidate any longer.

I do see your point; I believe that it is the perception of many outside the Democrat party.
