So sorry. I wanted to create a NEW post!!! ANOTHER BAD MOMENT!!! NM
xx
I would refer the poster to look down
the page where she on this date asked my friend again when we were going to take this to email, and stated she found it more odd than cute. Don't accuse me of trying to start trouble. She responded to an email that my friend submitted to her. I think the subject was I feel sorry for you, or something to that effect, then the post again about it being odd under that. Then mine which starts out PARDON ME.
Your opinion about an incident between me and (sm)
We went to the mall & I was planning to use my Victoria's Secret gift card that I got from my husband for V-day - on the way there she said, "Now we need to talk about what I saw on Oprah and how confidence in yourself affects how you look, it's all in your mind." (I am somewhat overweight) I told her that I was fine with myself and not to worry about it. Then walking inside the mall she said "I have to get this girl who works in there to help you, she's so cool." I said I didn't want anyone to help me, I just wanted to look around.
So we get inside and she sees her girl and says, "go over and ask her to help you." I said, "no, I don't want to." So she walks over to the lady and says, "can you help her?" and I said, "no, no thank you I just want to shop by myself." But she STILL doesn't let it go and continues with, "come over here and ask her." I said, "no." She said it AGAIN!! I said, "no thanks, nevermind, I will shop later or online." and walked out. My friend tried to call me back in the store!! So I am standing in the hall feeling like a goofball saying, "Susan, come on I don't want to shop there right now." So she comes out in the hall and wants to discuss it, asking me, "what did I do?" I told her that I was an adult and if I want to ask someone to help me I will, if I do not, I will not, and she shouldn't have kept it up. So then she started crying because she made me feel bad. Oh, brother.
I will admit that she had a couple of glasses of wine before we left but she does that regularly and seemed like her normal self.
I think I was partially self-conscious because of my current weight but then to add insult to injury we had to call attention to it and ask the lady to help me so she could show me where the larger stuff was? It was all mixed in together so she would have had to walk around helping me look at each item. Grrrrr.
We are both around 40 years old and she usually doesn't act like this but she made me feel as if she thought I was incompetent. She wouldn't stop being upset over the fact that she had upset me, and kept asking what she had done wrong, even after I tried to explain it to her. So finally I just said it was my own issue with my weight and that she didn't do anything wrong....sheesh.  What do you think happened there???
I called my mom right after the incident...sm
I told her. She keeps a loaded gun in her car and one in house. She comes to my house after work a lot. When she is at home, the doors are locked, and the shades are closed. Deadbolts locked. Sheriff has been informed of his issues and they said if he gives any problems at her house to call 911 and someone will come pick him up. She is prepared to shoot him if need be.
Sad but true. Welcome to my world.
I love the way you refer to everything as
YOURS rather than OURS. Did ya get a prenup, too, so when hubby takes off for a less materialistic woman you'll be left with YOUR house?
Believe it or not, the very fact that you keep referring to everything as YOURS as opposed to OURS says a lot about your relationship with your husband.
Poor dude. I hope he opens his eyes (or at least checks the bank account) soon! I have far too much self-respect to use my husband or anyone else to get what I want in life. I prefer to get what I want through hard work. It's a matter of pride. But, aside from your TRACT HOUSE, you apparently don't have a whole lot of pride in anything.
Reading your posts is making me feel increasingly blessed and thankful with my life, so keep on posting :-).

Have your doc or NP refer you to a urologist NOW!!!.....
I worked for a urology office for 13 years...you have what sounds like pyelonephritis or something worse. THe sooner it is treated, the better. If your doc can't get you in, go to the ED. They can usually get you set up with a specialist right away.
Please let us know how it goes. Will keep you in my thoughts.
Unless your son was involved in the incident, they probably would not inform you.
If the schools had to inform all parents of every single incident that occured between students, that could be a full-time job unto itself for 2 or 3 people in some schools. It sounds like the school took proper measures in disciplining the students involved in the incident.
As far as the post below regarding the 4th grade girl and her lies, I am sure that the boy in question knew what she was saying and may or may not have told his parent(s). At any rate, that would be a matter for the families of the children involved.
This reminds me of an incident a couple of
months ago. My parents live 4 hours away and won't come visit but maybe twice a year because their horses mean more than their grandkids seem to. With upcoming Thanksgiving, my husband and some of his buddies are going hunting Thanksgiving day. I told them all that the kids and I will cook while they are gone and when they get back from the woods that evening, we will have a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and their girlfriends/wives, etc. At a family function a couple of months ago, my husband's niece comes up to me and asks me what we are doing for Thanksgiving so I told her. She said she was trying to remember to invite all the "lonely people". Now, my parents may not come down but who says we are lonely??? I too went through many years of crying because we didn't have that Martha Stewart Christmas.
A link to the incident you reference...
... but I don't know the answer to your question.

(The offshore MT threatened to put UCSF patient records on the internet if she didn't get paid, and she e-mailed them some reports to prove she had them.)
We refer to this as Kamikaze squirrel season.
Hope I spelled that right.
Advice needed - school incident
Okay, I will try to make this short. We send our son to Catholic school. We are Catholic but we also love the atmosphere, i.e. safe and a good community environment. He is in second grade.
When I pick him up today, he tells me this classmate girl has stabbed him in the arm with her pencil! He had to have an ice pack on it for an hour and it still hurts him. She poked thru his shirt and now it's bruised with a red mark in the center. She has a short fuse and apparently was mad that he was invading her "space." They have 4 stations at one table, so it could be difficult for a child to discern where one space ends and another begins.
I am pi**ed off about this.
1. The school didn't call me, but the they did the other mother.
2. The girl's mother (whom I know) hasn't called me about it.
3. I spoke with the principal briefly because his teacher had left by the time I got there, but he is going to talk to the girl and my son about it tomorrow and about personal space. She was in his office for an hour until dismissal today.
I know if it was my kid, I would be calling that mother right up and apologizing. I am so ticked off right now about it that I am worried if I do call, I will lose my cool.
The other thing is this: We have always taught our son to respect others and treat others how you would want to be treated. He has a good moral compass. He is also a big and tough kid. We have always taught him to never hurt others unless it's in self defense. I feel as if they are brushing this off because he is a boy. I think if the shoe was on the other foot and he did it to her, it would be bad news. All hubby and I know is that we don't want it happening again. How do we get our point across? SHould I call the mom and tell her that? My son told me this is not the first time she has done this (poking with the pencil) but it is the first time it hurt like this. She could have gotten him in the eye or hurt someone else altogether! I don't think she belongs in that school if she continues to act that way. The school doesn't have a special needs program.
I am so mad right now I could spit.
dying tradition would refer to the new generation

They probably figure if Marcel wins, he won't sue the show for that incident.
But I will not miss Sam, Mr. No Personality Whatsoever, at all. I seriously think he needs a little Prozac or something :)
you're right, sorry. I like your posts, any that refer to love of animals

At this moment...
Well, this is one educational moment they
@@
Just an unsolicitated moment
Hubs was leaving to go to work just a few minutes ago and he said, you know I just start missing you from the moment I walk out of the house. I mean, how lucky am I? First marriage for him, didn’t bring any baggage, late 40s, so good to me, unbelievably so.

Proud mommy moment
My oldest son was in the Special Olympics today and came in first in cross-country skiing and snowshoeing :-) I think the whole Special Olympics is awesome! 
What moment from Nip/Tuck was most shocking
for you?
For me it was the peanut butter/dog with Melissa Gilbert. I will never view Little House on the Prarie in the same light again!!!
At my "crossroads" moment in 1975, -
my friend took court-reporting in school and I took medical transcrioption. I had a job in 3 months, whereas my friend was in school full-time for about 3 years. Now, she is still a well-paid, respected member of her profession, which HASN'T been outsourced to India. And me? Well, we all know how it's going in MT.
As a child, I'd have stuck with ballet instead of quitting.
In high school & college, I should've majored in business instead of taking the easy way out majoring in art.
I should've continued in college and gotten a degree, instead of quitting after 2 years.
I'd have learned a 2nd language (Spanish) & become fluent in it. It sure would come in handy nowadays! My account hospital actually has Spanish-interpreters as employees. I'll bet they make 3 times what I make as an MT. Also, learning that 2nd language seems to turn on a little switch in your head, so if you want to learn a 3rd and a 4th language, etc., it's 1000 times easier.
I'd have listened to my dad more when he tried to teach me important things, instead of blowing him off every time he opened his mouth.
In the 70's, my sister, my aunt, and my cousin all took an epic car-trip all over Europe. I was supposed to go, but backed out at the last minute. That was a dumb mistake.
I'd have gotten a tutor in math, instead of parking my butt in study-hall, where instead of studying, I daydreamed & doodled.
And I guess you never have a weak moment and wallowed in your own self-pity.

It's my birthday today, and I'm loving every single moment of it!

Nice story, but there are thousands of starving children in this country at this moment
that are not getting so lucky :( And, as for me, well I am still waiting for this calm to face the storm you talk of, cause I sure have not been blessed with it.
Well, you post with something that is going to --sm
get your *butt jumped* and then you cry when someone does. judgemental of everything, huh? don't get your halo in a twist. geez.
your post says *they*...
Is more than 1 of your children living with this person? Just curious...
Thank you for your post....sm
at least YOU seem to understand the concept of what a thyroid problem can do to a person...unlike anon poster below, who has a very closed mind about ANYthing she does not agree with.
My thyroid problem is quite bad. I HAVE seen an endocrinologist who explained that thyroid disease is an autoimmune disease, where the body attacks certain organs for no reason. I did not do well on synthetic thyroid replacement and switched to a *natural* form. I am currently taking 120 mg daily and that is a lot. The endocrinologist said that my thyroid was barely functioning at all.
I feel very bad for your brother in law, as I truly understand how he feels. Thank you again for your understanding support for my problem, rather than attacking me with being a food junky, being paranoid, needing a psychiatrist, telling me I am nuts, and to pursue bariatric surgery, which all tends to lower my already low self-esteem. thank you for your courage to post. It is nice to know that SOME people understand.
was the *duh* in yer post necessary?.....

better post than your first one *LOL*
I like what you said there - you have had a GOOD solid thing for 41 years now.......or thereabouts with your husband -
Doing this to him, even surreptitiously....do you think this is what HE deserves after you having a full life with him? Do you have a conscience? Even if you don't see this guy from 900 miles away - YOU'RE STILL CHEATING, you are carrying on a secret relationship in a secret email account behind your husband's back.........
I ain't judging.........but points upward.........towards G_d.........
jes' sayin'..............
how did this post above from 1/16/07 end up
on the top of GAB BOARD? And silly me, I answered it *LOL* - says Jan 16, 2007....all below this are March of 2007........very bizarre...someone probably trying to invoke conversation(?)
very_curious_indeed
what does this have to do with my post?
to be adopted already....
I really liked your post, thanks for that!!!..sm
I so respect what you said/typed.......thank you :)

I have not received any emails from you regardnig your post.
Sorry to post again about this but (sm)
Divorce is a huge decision - I have been talking to family and friends but this is the only place I can get anonymous opinions from a lot of people, and it is more likely that someone here may have been through something similar. My husband now is asking me to not go. But he has already told me just a few nights ago that he was never happy with me, was always disappointed and frustrated with who I am, and that this is probably the reason he hit me a few years ago. He went nuts a few years ago during a very minor argument (children were not present), and now says that it was probably because of years of frustration. But now he is once again asking me to stay. Because my parents are divorced he says that "divorce is the only thing I know" when faced with conflict. I have been here almost 14 years and he has never been happy with me. Even when I was young and thin and our house was spotless. My question is - if he has never been happy with me, and I have always been a source of frustration, why should I stay now and expect things to improve? We have been to 4 marriage counsellors in the past. I am scared about leaving and I still do love him deep down, but why continue to stay if I will never be good enough?
I should have put LOL after my post
about the fancy car. My parents and my MIL drive "fancy" cars. I agree that wasn't a nice thing to say.
Well, here you can post what you think
Well, here you can post what you think is an awesome idea or might we say lame... (Creativity is the key)
I'll start with:
Awesome:
Water powered cars...
Lame:
Really cool stuff that is ridiculously expensive(i.e. PS3)
Please do post a pic of your pup
if you haven't already. Hayseed knows how.
Was this post really necessary?
Why bother reading a post that doesn't interest you just to post something rude and totally unnecessary? I for one love hearing about the good things in life. It's not just all work, work, work.
see my post sm
Would anyone who has used Cymbalta please reply to my post on the Mental Health board. I think this is suitable for "gab" but only one answer on that board. Thanks! BTW, I don't think exhaustion and pain from this profession is all "in our mind." I hope you agree.
Post her pic?
//
I saw that post too
I'm glad I wasn't the only one confused. This is a gab board and that's what we're doing gabbing about cats and other animals. If he/she isn't interested, just don't read the posts. By the way, I have an all black Halloween cat and the kids get a big kick out of him when them come to the door.
I think your post is right on
My hubs and I have separate and I trust him beyond belief, would never know what he made a year except at tax time. I think it is great to have hubs you trust and can take care of things like yours does. Seems like a dream deal to me. I could care less for doing anything when it comes to financial deals but sometimes have to fool with that. If I had a hubs that dealt with everything, I would be more than happy. You are blessed.
Just saw this post
Yes, his anal glands were really impacted- the post below this 1 helped me tremendously. Never knew felines got that way. He went to the veterinarian the very day I learned about the possibility of what it could be, the vet expressed the glands and relieved that problem. Yesterday my big boy (20 and a half lbs) went to the groomers to get him all cleaned and smelling good again. One more thing I learned- he is double furred boy and hair was even growing over his anus which had to be shaved. He is quite the handsome guy today!
100% right and that is my post
Give varied foods to be served but can you just imagine if 10 or more kids would not eat and demanded certain foods for their own eating? Did not say kids should be forced to eat anything but definitely needs vegetables in their diet. Sit foods on the table, not much fuss and let the child eat and eat good, no junk stuff, no Cokes, no sweetened drinks, no overloading on the chips, cookies and other sweets.
By the way, there is a second pic in that post above. (nm)
.
I just had to post this pic too!
This is my youngest, Scooter, when we first brought him home 2 years ago. He is MUCH bigger now! LOL!
Above post is IMO, of course.
