• Health official warns of disease-bearing mosquito bites don't let the cooler weather fool you. They will continue to bite.

I have a gripe!

• As I was reading through the papers today I came upon two articles which really made me concerned regarding the maturity levels of some reporters. I was interested in the content of the stories. Both were under the 'Waukesha' headlines and both concerned families.

One was about a new organization, which helps new marriages learn to communicate. The final comment of the reporter

"After all, how’s your husband going to know to put away his socks if all he hears is the voice of what he perceives to be a controlling wife?" Seriously???

I would like to presume that husbands are a little bit more mature and dare I say intelligent than that. Is this reporter implying that if one spouse perceives their partner poorly they are too stupid to know what to do with their socks????Life after the wedding ... what to do next? One local organization helps marriages thrive

The Other is the one that really got my blood boiling. As I was going through the Things you need to know Today, in the Freeman the final story regarding a woman not protecting her child caught my attention. The bottom line is that a mother didn't stop her boyfriend from molesting her child. The little girl was only 14 when the boyfriend, 30 yrs. old, began to molest the child. the idiot reporter made some idiot comment that implies that the child seduces the molester.

I am stunned that the reporter of this story would phrase the abuse this way. She was a child! He was an adult, more than twice her age and should have known better. Where is the mention of his part in this? Grrrr

"The daughter began having sex with the 30-year-old boyfriend shortly after he moved in with the suspect in 2004, according to the complaint, and continued, off-and-on, for more than two-years." Hartford woman charged with failing to protect child

I obviously need to refill my coffee mug and chill out. :(
