Sound Off: Medication disposal

When I worked at Walmart Pharmacy, one of the pharmacists would flush all expired drugs down the toilet. Yikes.

Kansas libraries let people check out cake pans

My hometown library in Phillipsburg had paintings to check out. I moved in 1999, so I'm not sure if they still do, but they did until that year at least. They also had educational children's toys to check out as well.

Should parents have to pay the difference in cost between half-day and full-day kindergarten?

Does your school system have district provided pre-school? Here in NE, Lincoln Public Schools provides preschool for only low-income families and also children who are developmentally behind for their age. My boyfriend's nephew participates in the program here. His mom drops him off M-F morning, he eats breakfast at the school, has preschool, eats lunch at the school, and finally the bus drops him off at daycare.

Anna Undercover: Fired.

She has said in past blogs that she pays a fee to the bouncer every night she works, maybe $40 I think?

Lawrence to have 2 Easter egg hunts

I'm going to be in Lawrence for the weekend. Does anyone know of anything going on that I can take my 20 month old to? I'm a little surprised that the egg hunt isn't for younger toddlers too.

Do you let your children have drinks that contain caffeine?

My boyfriend's sister puts soda in her 34 month old's bottle. Yes, he's 34 months old a still drinks from a bottle. And isn't at all potty trained. And she's a stay at home mom, courtesy of us. :) Ok, I'll stop.

Holding their liquor in Lincoln

AreUNorml (anonymous) says…
I wonder if the city of Lincoln (or Lawrence for that matter) would be interested in implementing S.A.F.E.R. (Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation) program to enlighten partiers to the safer substance known as cannabis.

Nebraska is one of the most lax states on being caught with small amounts of pot. When I first moved here, I was a little surprised to be walking past people on O street and smell pot. I guess people just smoke it wherever and figure that it doesn't matter much if they get caught. I think people have already implemented S.A.F.E.R. on their own already.

I also quickly noticed the police presence in the downtown area when I first moved to Lincoln. At 1:00 on Friday night, it's not odd to see 4 police cars parked in the middle of the street and police on foot cruising through the crowds.

And about the kids who want to set up the hotdog/gyro/hamburger stand on Mass street... Lincoln has 2 or 3 different hotdog stands and I've never heard of them getting robbed or having any issues like that. Maybe it's because of the police patrolling the sidewalks.
