- Mothers who deny fathers access to the couple’s children after a break-up could be jailed
- So defying court orders for, say, 12 years, might eventually have consequences? Seems more likely to be effective than the policy of jailing parents for failure to pay child support (or otherwise depriving them of the means of earn an income).
- Holding on through the 30-date rule
- Apparently some people don't immediately introduce sex into romantic relationships. Shocking! "He said no sex until they'd had 30 dates. Could a rule overrule relationship reason?"
- Is this the world's most dangerous moustache?
- "Lashkar-e-Islam, an ally of the Taliban, declared [Afridi's] carefully groomed 30in (76cm) massive moustachios to be 'un-Islamic'. The armed group first demanded protection money of around $500 a month. In a region not known for its citizens' private wealth, Afridi refused to pay up - and was kidnapped and held hostage by the group for a month."
- A Very Careful Thanksgiving: Raising a child with food allergies has shown me how generous people can be. I’m so thankful.
- "The Journal of the American Medical Association recently estimated that having a child with allergies costs $4,180 more per year than a child without them, with $750 going toward food and the rest to medical costs and parental time off work." (These are US figures - so I'm guessing they'd be an overestimate of medical costs in most other places though food costs elsewhere may be higher).
