If you have a favorite spot for some good ole summer fun please share!

To many, the Holidays represent a time of giving, to family, friends, co-workers, neighbors etc. a festive and joyous time. To others it is a difficult and troubling time, not only unable to give, but in need of a helping hand. Little Girls who will go without that Barbie Doll, a little boy with no toy truck, a baby without warm clothing. A family without a hot meal or a warm bed to sleep in. This happens right here in our own community. These are difficult situations, I'm sure with the economy as it is today there will be a much larger need. Where do they go for help? What can the community do? What steps would one need to take if they were in this situation? And what should they expect to encounter?

I felt this needed it's own post, Thank You - Jessica for the information

I am hoping that it is okay that I post this here, I know its not in Portland, but I hope that it is a cause that our town is interested in, as I know it is a very important issue to me..

Do you have a family member, friend, neighbor or co-worker who would benefit from learning about autism resources available in Tennessee?

Then.....

Come to the Autism Resource Fair
held in conjunction with the
5K Run/Walk Beyond the Limits for Autism
at Memorial Park in Hendersonville on April 19th!

MY Space - Good, Bad or Ugly?

| 33 Comments

After seeing the report on TV last evening about the 12 Y.O. Sumner County girl that met her rapist on MY Space, I thought this would be a good time to bring up this topic on the blog.

What are your experiences with MY Space?
Should there be better security measures that not allow under age members?
What do you do in monitoring under age computer users in your household?

The stories that come out about My Space are horrific, yet some good has come as well, what, and who should be responsible for policing this site if any? Lets hear your thoughts, experiences and suggestions.
