Tell him to worry about his own home, and
if he doesn't like it don't come over and don't send his children over.
I hate it when people behave this way. HAPPY HALLOWEEN
I worry more being home alone working all day.
around here. It's even worse at my mom's house (in a nice neighborhood). You see people who obviously dont live there crusing slowly down the street checking places out. She lives alone in a huge house, and is kind of gullible about some things, so sometimes I do worry she'll open the door to the wrong person.
In fancy neighborhoods, the easiest way to get in and out unnoticed is to be a gardner, since everybody there has them. One time when I still lived at home, I was going for a walk around the neighborhood one afternoon, and a white pickup with a couple guys in it, but oddly, just a single lawnmower in the back, slowly drove down the street and went in one driveway after another. (Long driveways, where you often can't see the house it's so far back off the street). Then I forgot about them.
Well, about an hour or so later, I came down another street, and there were some cops there, and that same truck was being hoisted onto a big tow truck. I told the cops I'd been seeing that truck all morning, and asked if it had broken down or something, and they said no, it was a couple of burglars looking for empty houses.
he'll find another because she said she wants to leave.

No one. We'll find out next week.

IRS stimulus - find out when you'll
Go to http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=177937,00.html and click on where's my stimulus. They just added this yesterday. It will tell you exactly when you are getting yours and how much.
Now I'll have to go find the link...
Is it possible that she only threatened to or "tried" but didn't succeed in actually getting the blades down the hatch, so to speak?
It does seem like there's no way she'd be alive right now if she had actually swallowed even one of them.
Unless of course she left it in the protective wrapping....
Nah, I'll try to find the link and post it....
I read on I believe the MSN site or somewhere yesterday that a vaccine will be available by about September but nothing sooner, which is why I find it interesting they're now saying it could fizzle out and re-emerge in fall (presumably after the vaccine is ready).
Anyone remember the big flu scare about 3 years ago, where the pharmaceutical companies swore there was a shortage of the vaccine and it would be deadly to old people and compromised children, etc.? Everyone running out and getting their innoculation before it was no longer available, creating a mass panic, then a month or two later, the news was showing TONS of leftover vaccines sitting on the shelves.
Nah, I don't trust this hysteria about the swine flu at all. I look on it more as yet another way for the media to play on our fears for ratings, and the big-money corporations that run the pharmacies to cash in on that fear.
Why not try to find a home for this dog
where it will be loved? I have a dog that I am not crazy about but my son adores her and I can't imagine parting with her.
I'd try to find a home for him.
Put an ad in the paper and charge $50 for him. People will be more serious about him and take better care of him if they have to pay for him. That's just my opinion. I'd tell your husband to get used to you taking care of stray animals - and bless you for doing so. If you live next to a wooded area that big, chances are people are dumping them out there. I wish we could find the people who are doing it and abandon them in a 300 acre wooded area and see how well they'd survive.
You're right about the shelter, though, so I wouldn't go there. If he's got the look of a pit in any way, he'll probably be put down sooner rather than later.
Good luck. Hope you find a good home for him, or hope Hubby doesn't mind him sticking around for a little while.
he did say you can move and maybe he'll find a woman who likes his life.

Cpuldn't find Got2B or Prell at CVS! I'll try another store tomorrow (nm)

I find it to be harder working from home with children who are not in school..
I have a 2 year old home with me all day and believe me it would be much easier to take her to day care and get my work done...
I think they'll FINALLY send Sanjaya home. Bout time. He should have
think they'll send Haley home.
Worry about finances but don't worry about insurance. sm
Most of the time, the father is awarded through court to provide insurance on the children as well as child support. If not, you might would qualify for some assistance on healthcare for the children. There are a lot of programs out there now. You could always try to find an employee position although that doesn't seem to easy this day and time. In the end, money does not buy happiness nor love.
sniff sniff. Has anyone here had experience with having to find a good home for your dog? sm
We have a 10 pound peekepooh who needs a good home. We've had her for 3 years now and our baby is highly allergic to her. She is an indoor dog. I've put this off for too long. I am so torn, but I know this is best.
She hates being outside. I will not take her to our pound. I've thought about pet finders, but I'm just confused. Don't want to do the local paper either.
What do any of you suggest? 
Find a lawyer, find out where you would stand - sm
in the event of a divorce/separation, regarding custody, house, etc. Custody was my main concern as well since I lied on numerous occasions about the finances. Where I am I was told that would not factor in to the custody at all. I can prove that I am my kids caregiver 90% of the time, I ferry they around everywhere, help with homework, get ready for school, meet at busstop, etc. I could also point out my husband is an alcoholic, self treats his depression with alcohol instead of getting proper medical treatment, has threatend to kill himself (or me) numerous times (though he always says he was joking and did not mean it.....that is his standard answer to everything, or that he never said that). Now I do love him enough to deal with all that because deep down inside my DH is full of it, luckily for me, he has never followed through on anything he says he is going to do. But I thought my confession would be the straw that broke it all and send him over the edge. He still is angry with me, I am sure he will be for a long time, but is keeping it together pretty well, though he has said the stress was going to kill him, now he know how I felt I guess. I am sorry your husband is such a smuck. I feel like a dog sometimes with the sex demands, have to do it the night before he goes out of town....he will be traveling a lot for work for the next 3-4 months, which I am more than glad about, much calmer here then, though it gets tiring for me but as he is not really helping much right now it really won't be much of a change. As for yours going on 5 day weekends.....have you considered having him followed, sounds like there may be some infidelity afoot, and if so that would strengthen your case in the event of a divorce and custody I would think. Sounds a bit fishy going out until 1 a.m. and his frequent trips. My DH fishes too, but he goes 2 miles from here with one of our male neighbors, they shoot the breeze and he gets to unwind some which I encourage. Very rare weekends with a buddy of his, I am talking once every 2 years, which again is fine with me. Start keeping track of all you do, when he is home, where he supposedly goes, with whom, etc. He cannot show he will be a responsible dad if he is never there or never interacts with his own kids. My DH would probably suggest I take our older daughter and he the younger, spliting them up, he has the same perception, the oldest is mine, the youngest is his. Our younger daughter is much easier to deal with, our older daughter drives him nuts and she is only 10. My younger one (8) knows something has been going one though, and worries we will divorce, which she does not want. She is very perceptive for her years. I hope that if you do go the divorce route, which would actually probably be best in your situation, that it all works out for you and you get your fair share of assets, etc. Make sure before you do anything like that you have all your ducks in a row, so talk to divorce lawyer. I talked to one for 45 minutes, cost me $160 but was worth it to set my mind at ease. Good luck.
thanks! :) I'll see if he'll ask some female friends SM
Thank you everyone! It has been great reading all of your responses! Goodnight!! "See" you all tomorrow!

Buy a home of my own - not a palace, but more of a smallish home on a large piece of land. (nm)

Anyone move from a single family home to mobile home? sm
I own and live in a house in a midwest city in a bad neighborhood (wasn't that bad 11 years ago). I spent the day waiting for the plumber to come and jackhammer the foundation (slab house, no basement) to find a leaky pipe that is flooding my DD's bedroom. Last week, it was the electrician with quotes for costly repairs.
In the meantime, I've really been thinking about selling out and moving into a mobile home. Has anyone done this before? Is a mobile home in a decent park less of a hassle than a regular house? I'm so tired of cutting the grass and spending $$ to fix things and tired of old flooring and cabinets, etc., that are just too costly to replace. I'm single with no man to do these things for me and I can't afford a mortgage on a newer house in a good neighborhood. Some of the pictures I've seen of the mobile homes look really nice and modern on the inside.
Any advice and comments appreciated. Thanks!
Well I figure I can make my own hours & be home when the kids are home (sm)
I worked PT in an office for a while but spent most of my money on childcare in the summer. Full-time in an office was just a nightmare and I felt like I missed a whole year of my children's lives. I want to be in control of my schedule so that's why I'm looking into the cleaning thing. Never thought I would want to do that but live and learn! Some of the most intelligent people alive work as carpenters and similar things because they have learned what's really important in life. Whew....off my soapbox now :-) Good luck to you!
Don't worry...
My last pregnancy my dates were off by a week also and my little girl was born 12 weeks ago tomorrow...healthy at 7 pounds 2 ounces...
Not to worry
He probably just wants to know what it feels like to wear diapers. The fact that he does it by himself in private says that he understands that you would not approve of it.
If he were regressing, the diapers would not be clean - they would be soiled.
It's not that unusual and absolutely nothing to be concerned about. If he is still doing it in 3 mos., I would talk to the pediatrician. But for now, let him be.
don't worry
I live outside Cleveland (Lake Erie) and you can only go to the beach a few months a year!
You still worry, but sm
after in college, even you pay the bills, they are adults, and deserve freedom and privacy. My house my rules sucks, for everyone. Let go. It will be okay.
More than that, I would worry about the
fact can you get insurance coverage there or if so, can you keep it? I am hearing loads of people being denied insurance on the coast and even people who have not been threatened or hit by these hurricaines, as higher up the east coast, insurance is being cancelled right and left. I love the coast line to visit but I would really have cause to think this 1 out really well.
Don't worry but...
this happened to two of our older cats (various times in my life) where they would get antsy and roam around and eventually would keep trying to get outside (not outdoor cats either) and when this happened they passed away and were found dead just of old age...Someone once told me and I do not know if it is true or not that some cats will want to up and run away when they know it is time to die...it is like an instinct. I don't know if I believe that or not, but it has happened twice to me...once when I was a child and later as an adult...so sad.
Thank you and don't worry, I'm
not listenting to the one negative post I got. I know what's best for my kids and I know giving them nurture and ALL my love is what is best. Like I said before, he is still scared to sleep upstairs and I only wish we knew we were going to have kids when we built our 2-story! Things would have been different and it would have been a 1-story, but oh well, you work with what you've got!
What me worry?
You see I named it "Mother of the Year" that was tongue in cheek referencing their mother.
Don't worry about it yet - sm
Having raised four totally different kids, I can tell you their personalities, development, everything was completely different.
One walked at 8 months (seriously) and another didn't walk until she was well over a year. The same late walker, never crawled, never bothered to learn to speak very much until she was about two. Her sister is very close in age (older) and they had this secret language that only they understood and big sis "translated" everything for her baby sis. Baby sis didn't have a reason to walk, talk, or anything else. She had three older siblings (the two older ones were 6 and 9 years older) who did everything for her.
Don't sweat it yet. Could just be a late bloomer. My late bloomer is now 15 and I can't get her to sit still or shut up! LOL
not to worry - sm
It's tough to tie ourselves up with something like this. I completely understand. During the past few years my husband has lost his job, got a new one, I have lost income to various reasons (mostly not enough work) but have managed to stick with the plan.
Sometimes it hurts just a little bit for sure.
In your situation, maybe you can set your limits a little lower according to your income each month but maintain one constant... the one you are trying to pay off. Other things can slide a little bit if they need to but just maintain that one bill that you are putting the bigger money on.
I should have mentioned earlier too - Car insurance!
Did you know that some companies offer you a tiny little discount when you pay every 6 months or once a year, rather than once a month?
I now pay about $30 less every year because I pay every 6 months. I know, it's only $30 but it is what it is right?
While everything may not really be negotiable, that's the attitude I have adopted and it has helped me change my money habits for sure.
So what if they tell you no the first time, or the second time, or even the third. Keep asking.
By the way, if you remember the name of that book, please post it. I would be interested in reading it too. Maybe there is something else I have missed that I could be doing.
I used to worry because I also have
no children and will not be a burden to my niece and nephew. I'm 52 now but am making plans for the future. I plan on moving into a 55+ condo, have insurance where I will be taken care of and socking away every penny. Otherwise I have no worries and enjoy being this age. I don't think I would want to be in my 20 and 30's again.
Should Alzheimer's set it and I am wandering around in the neighborhood with just my undies on, at least I'll think it's okay. But that is my biggest fear - not having my mind.
I do not think we have to worry there, now do we?
Looking at the audience in the RNP convention, no diversity at all so that is not a worry on my mind in the least bit. I told my daughter who is mixed, and wobbling back and forth about who to vote for, to just look at the gatherings on both sides- if on the republican she could count at least 10 black faces there, then vote that way. Just could not be done actually.
Don't do it and don't worry about it. sm
It's called chemistry, and this time it's only on your part. I'm too old to remember how it feels, but I do remember feeling intense physical attraction and infatuation in my much younger days, ha ha.
You can't get arrested for what's you're thinking. You also can't think of two things at once. If you find yourself fantasizing about this kid, just replace that thought immediately with another one--say, a task that needs doing in your home, or watch the news on TV.
Age difference is often no respecter of persons when it comes to plain ole chemistry. But self-respect and good family values are more important. You might just pray to get over it. :)
That's another worry
I am 50, so no spring chicken here, and this was all foreign to me. When I met him, I had no idea about all the dark clouds over him. He was semi-sober (he drank to toasted on weekends), which I could sort-of accept as normal, although admittedly I had outgrown that behavior about 30 years ago. A little while into the relationship, I found out that the reason for his semi-sobriety was that he was only a couple months out of prison on probation and was subject to random drug/alcohol testing at any of his Tuesday thru Friday therapy visits.
But I found him on MySpace and there was nothing in his profile to indicate he was an abusive alcoholic, and in the first couple of months, other than the Fri/Sat drinking, I never picked up on it. So I either don't have the AAdar (like gaydar, but for alcoholics) or the FLAYdar (for abusers) to have picked up on it, or I'm giving off some kind of phermone or have a 'look' that will make me a target again.
Don't worry
They go over that you may never be forgiven. They go over you may get divorced. You are off the hook. Do it while he is in treatment and he will have the support he needs and you will have the support you need to not be guilted into changing your mind.
He will change more without you, so you don't need to feel guilty.
Good luck.
I have lots more to worry about as well - sm
I have a 6-y/o daughter that is only 1 year out from her chemo for kidney cancer and has been having some worrying symptoms lately, I have bills, I have lots of home strife to deal with , I have a DH who acts younger than my kids half of the time and cannot deal with any major problems and has undiagnosed depression and possibly bi-polar. I carry a heavy load here so you are not the only one in this world with problems. OH, I am in the USA too, so what does that have to do with anything? The coat just angered me beyond belief, maybe it is the straw that broke my back, my way of venting, who knows, but it something I can at least try to take some action on and maybe get it back. I cannot control my daughter's cancer recovery, all I can do is watch and wait and see if we make it to 5 years recovery without any recurrence, for the bills I am trying to work harder and make more money, for my DH I just deal with him the best I can and do pretty well but not all the time. So I have trival things and big things to worry about and deal with, along with millions of others. Sorry if my kid's coat loss/theft was such a mundane topic to post about but I am/was T'eed off about it and needed to vent and get opinions if I could on this. Yours is duly noted.
Don't worry, after they have counseling
as adults and realize what they went through they will resent her for it and she'll learn the hard way. Happens all the time.
Do not worry about those jobs....
Doing VR and dictator said had positive occult stools ----VR put down positive alcohol school. Lets drink up folks!!!
I wouldn't worry too much!
My husband and I, when we first got married, would go to Bath and Body Works and pick out scents that we both liked. It was something that we both enjoyed. I wouldn't put too much into it. Offer to rub some lotion on his back after his bath or hop in the tub with him!
I don't worry. Just take my massive cat along and
Funny.
I am in NJ and worry about my brother-in-law
even though the fires are not near him, things can change if those winds do not stop soon. I wish the best for your friend. Yes, everyone's spirits out there seem to be good. They go through so much with these fires and earthquakes. I believe that is what gives them the strength to deal with these disasters when they happen.
The thing that would worry me about this is that....
she could be sick. Both times I had cats do this it was because they both had cystitis. A friend of mine who works for a vet told me they associate the pain of the infection with the litter box and stop using it. I don't know how to stop the spraying if there isn't a health problem, but I would first make sure she is okay.
Don't worry about it. There is no deal.
The house doesn't meet your standards or needs, and you aren't interested.
Realtors are supposed to work for you. If you want to buy a house, she should be finding out what you want and bringing papers on homes to you for your consideration. Don't even think you have wasted her time at this point!
I had my Realtor show me every house in my price range in all of the north side of this town. She was great.
Thank goodness don’t have to worry about
things like this but really have heard about it. Ladies, I am telling you now- you have no idea how fast your life will go by- one of these days you will wake up and wonder where the years went. It makes absolutely NO sense to stay with anyone and I mean anyone unless you want to be there- love or lack of, children, family, job security or benefits, etc. etc. Your will be getting older and believe you me when I say I wish I could go back to about 40 and redo things a little. I wasted years. I never worried about making it on my own, in fact I was the money earner in the family so was in a rut and stayed there, not anymore and I will say again, even if there are loads of children, you do yourself a disservice staying in an unloving marriage.
Please try not to worry. Are you sure that are not kidney SM
stones? My opinion is the hospital sent letter as a matter of protocol. When people are discharged from ER, they usually receive followup orders. Maybe they forgot.
Followup with PCP, but try not to worry. Monday will be here soon enough.
I do not understand why the worry
Am in my 60s and never knew when my period was supposed to be, just never kept up with it. I see no problem with not having a period- I would think most women would like that. What is your concern in not having?
Don't worry - it was just one person (sm)
You can't please everyone all of the time :-)
Everyone is strange to someone :-)
You didn't do anything wrong!!
have fun with food and don't worry
they'll eat... I have a strange son who insists that he is never hungry (yet, he is always getting a snack and reminds me it's time to make dinner). Well, he is a quirky one.
I don't have to worry about this for about 5 more years - sm
but I don't plan on giving my daughter a car. Now I may get a second car, smaller used, that she can use, but it will not be "hers". This will be more than my parents did, though I was allowed to use their cars on the rare occasion (mom had a Corvette and dad always had something fast and sporty too so that is probably the main reason why they would not let me drive their cars a lot). I was not allowed to have a car unless I bought it (same with my brother which thed did as they were allowed to work while in high school)and as they would not let me work I was in a catch-22. I did try to get jobs close by (3-5 miles) and would have rode my bike but never got any of the jobs I applied to. I would ride my bike to band camp in the summer since my mom would not take me about 5 miles or so. They did pay for my insurances, attached me to their policy so when I did drive their car I was covered. I had a weekly allowance that was a joke ($2 a week back in early 80s), so obviously I could pay for nothing except maybe a movie once or twice a month. I relied on my friends for rides basically everywhere since my mom did not want to drive me anywhere, it was like pulling teeth (she was sick of being a chauffer after my 2 older brothers), so I lost. But my 2 best friends both had cars, older models, which their parents got for them and I believe paid for everything, so I was able to get about. I did not have to pay for my insurance until after I graduated college, once I was working I took over that payment; and my dad did get me a car as a graduation gift for college (used Nissan wagon) so I could get about (this was after I had an accident in the car he has lent me for getting to work while I was in college....the brakes failed, think he felt guilty about that)
I wouldn't worry too much about that
most of the newer ones it doesn't really matter what time of day you do it.
Dont worry////
What you are going through is normal. I have been married for 15 years and had the same doubts you have. Where you are confused is in thinking that life is over when the partying or going out stops. You can still have fun, just in different ways. Find common interests, hobbies that you and your husband can do together. You will find that you get the same satisfaction out of working on projects together that you do with going out and partying. The key thing is being together, having fun no matter what you are doing. You can still party, it just changes in that you don't go bar hopping anymore and instead invite over some friends to grill and drink some cocktails. I think you are inside your head a bit too much right now and just need to jump outta there and sit back and relax. Enjoy being married. You have a long a happy life ahead of you.
