Now I see the pig and possibly you laying out there!
it's 5:19 pm Sunday 8/19........now you're playing with pig...*lol*
Great webcam!!!
I would say possibly a little older
I don't have a son, but I would say I would wait until he was maybe a little bit older. I don't see anything wrong with boys wearing earrings. Like I told my husband who said he'd kick my daughter out of the house if she ever got a tattoo (she's 14 now and would be too young now and doesn't want one anyway), and I told him as long as she wasn't doing drugs or being promiscious, a tattoo would be the least of our worries. By the way, to the other posters, to each his own, but I don't see why you feel the need to criticize. My old boyfriend had an earring and my almost 60 year old neighbor has one too and he is very successful. If in time he doesn't want one he can let the hole close up. What's the big deal?
sounds like it could possibly be (sm)
a memory management error which is usually hardware related.
Either 1 or 2 - whichever I could possibly wear somewhere else. nm

Then where is the killer? Everyone, except possibly you and 13 other people sm
know he did it and so no one is looking for this horrific, terrible person out there - why haven't there been others in that area after they were killed?
Thanks for the idea, and possibly inspiring another one...sm
Hmm, that just might work. One tree trunk is pretty wide, but good idea for the smaller ones and for my neighbor's. Your idea got my brain working (ow, ow) and maybe for the big tree, I will try tying a *necklace* of large garden containers--the black plastic ones. Thanks.

The first 2 sentences belonged to someone else, possibly
hating the fact they had raised the us you speak of. Again, don’t hate what you and others really missed out on, a good time and wonderful time for growing up. Times have changed and for the worse. We had no cursing, shootings, killings, bullying in the schools, we respected the teachers, kids wore what parent could afford and no one said anything to them about their lack of name clothing, we could play outside until dark, no problem, kids not kidnappened and murdered like now, what a glorious time. I raised some really good adults, not snarky ones either.
No, now she can have up to 16 minis at one time. She can't possibly leave
them for extended periods of time. This is her business. I understand that part. And I'm sorry to have to hear from a stranger that my mom has been avoiding me for 16 years because she "really" doesn't want to. Thanks.. sign
If no recollection of trauma, possibly could be gout, although
that usually occurs in the great toe. However, anything is possible.
You looking to visit, vacation, or possibly move there? nm

I didn't think anything could possibly make me laugh
yesteday, but I had the day off and went to a movie with my friend and her granddaughter, who is my neighbor. It was (think I have this right) When Chuck married Larry . . . that's close. Anyway, I would advise anyone who needs some laughs to see it! I found myself laughing out loud, and in light of everything right now that felt good! Treat yourself. It's a hoot. I knew when I saw the cast it had to be good!
Updating- the ones posting about possibly end of life
for her could be right. I just had her to the Vet's this week, just to weigh because she has lost weight (thyroid problem for 1 thing). I also have heard of animals wanting to leave as they get close to end of life so I am not shocked, in fact was wondering if this was what perhaps might be going on with her. She is around 20 and was born at my home so naturally I would hate even though I have known for some time about the age limits for cats. I do not think she is in pain, just roaming all around instead of her using napping 24/7 and then the vocals, not her at all. I will continue to love and pet as much as I can between my work hrs and if she should get to where I think in pain, definitely go back to vet's with her. I really appreciate the information above. Thanks to everyone.

I agree. You need to talk to teacher, possibly higher up.

AP just covered the story so quite possibly true comment. How sad.

Sounds like sleep paralysis (and possibly hypnagogic hallucinations) to me. sm
If it has only happened to you a few times in your life, it's probably nothing to worry about. It happens to some folks now and then.
It can, however, sometimes be a sign of other sleep problems (like chronic sleep deprivation, or even narcolepsy) and, if it persists, it would certainly be worth mentioning to your physician, who may decide to have a sleep study just to investigate further.
You aren't possibly related to that vice-president some years back who SM
spelled potato incorrectly are you? LOL. Sorry, couldn't resist that one! Have a good sandwich! 
Are you the Anon who was worried abt possibly violence or hubby taking your kids? m
Best of luck to you for taking the steps to change your life. I wish you well.
Been there - I just cut them off and out of our lives!
Don't feel any bit of guilt either. My in-laws, the whole bunch of them, are just nasty, evil people and I refuse to be around them. My kids don't even want to be around them. If my hubby wants, he can go by himself, but he doesn't even want to be around them. It took a lot of hurt, and evil doings for me to get this way, but I am here and will never have them as part of my family ever again!
I am Thankful they are out of our lives!
if one lives to be even 80 though...
At 50, that's still 30 years to go...a lifetime! Guess it's a relative question and I will be looking forward to your responses! 
I am the one who lives in FL from below.
You are exactly right. We got hit by Charley and then once repaired, policy was cancelled, thru the bank no less!
This is a joke, right? Your son LIVES with her,
and you wonder about any of this? Give me a break! If the coach were God Himself, that would be no excuse to hand over your mothering duties and your son to someone else, let alone someone you think is a B. Give me a break. What is wrong with you?

But no matter where she lives, she is still
just not that pretty and I personally would not want to be her, no matter where she lives. I love my neighborhood and I don’t have man hands, huge teeth, watermelon head, toothpick body and no one has ever complained about my voice. I do not like her show at all.
My MIL lives about 1/4 mile from me, and . . .
right now she is on a cruise, and I can't hardly stand it! She and I are best friends. I absolutely LOVE her. We are very much alike in our thinking . . . most of the time. Even when we don't agree, we still manage to talk about things and agree to disagree. I know I have a real treasure in her. In my book, MILs can be wonderful. I know that isn't the case for everyone, but I know it is very, very possible.
When my MIL gets back home on the 15th, I'm going to be extremely happy! 
I meant lives near me - sorry. NM

I can ask my mom who lives there (just got off the phone, actually). sm
I do know that in the summer, the highs are around 70s or so. Does not get much higher than that. A Big Mac and fries with drink in Alaska (Anchorage) will run you about 6.00 w/o tax.
My mom received an expensive gift card for the doc she works for - for Nordstrom Dept. Store. Instead of spending it in Alaska, she is coming to Texas next month and thinks she will get double for her money at the Nordstrom's here.
They just bought a 4 BR/2BA home in the town of Palmer, AK (about an hour from Anchorage?) and they paid 200,000 for it. BUT, they are now selling their home and moving BACK towards Anchorage as she realized she cannot drive in the winter that far to work! She makes 22.00 an hour running a doctor's office. My dad works for the prison system and they are doing VERY WELL. He is retired A.F. She NEVER complains about money - like how much things costs. If anything, she says, "boy it's nice not to have to worry about money!"
Every year residents get a "dividend" check for a couple thousand dollars from the oil companies, too, from what I understand.
If you are a woman, Alaska is a WONDERFUL place to live, from what I hear. My mom and dad are still young (in their late 40s - early 50s) and my mom says that dad brings home "friends from work" and the way she puts it, if I were single and visiting I wouldn't be single for very long! Plenty of good looking, hard-working men and not enough women...........My mom has a weird sense of humor, but she's not kidding!
Of course, you MUST love the outdoors if you live there. My dad is constantly shoveling snow and working on their vehicles - at least 7 months out of the year, preparing them for the cold. He just bought himself a new snowmobile and he is an avid hunter and salmon fisherman. My mom is outdoorsy too, so it works well for them. I have no plans on visiting any time soon. I enjoy not having to deal with snow where I am at.
I hope this helps you a little bit. The further you go from the city the cheaper the housing. My parents want to move back to Eagle River,AK, but don't think they could get a decent house for the price they are asking in that particular area.
I'll tell you this. If I were going to move there I certainly wouldn't go far from Anchorage unless you want to live in the middle of nowhere! At least in Anchorage (or near Anchorage), you have full access to the airport where you could get on a plane and get away if you need to which is what my mom does often. I see her "all the time" even though she lives there. She flies out a lot! And that is because no one in the family goes to visit them.......Hope this helps!
FIL lives with us & his will be with his May check sm
The notice about the deposit said that it was going to be deposited separately but at the same time as his regular SS check, which is the 4th Wednesday of the month because of when his birthday falls.
Not everyone lives in small towns
I took the bus and T (subway in Boston) to high school and college, as did most kids. Try parking in Harvard Square, or anywhere in Boston for that matter.
When I moved out west to continue college in a city that did not have great public transport, I lived on campus for the first year without a car. After that I bought one for $1000, and insured it for $35/mo (this was in 1993).
My mom does not even have a DL, and did not have the money to pay my tuition, let alone get me a car for school, yet somehow we made it. Kids don't NEED cars in high school. There is always the big yellow bus if you live somewhere there is not public transportation. I was shocked to see how many high school kids were driving around in new SUVs and sports cars like Mustangs where I used to live in the South.
Just one more sutle way to push God out of our lives
Many people do not even notice this change, or many just don't care. Just like God was pushed out of schools, public buildings and trying to get God off our money. "In God we trust"? As a nation it is hard to say anymore. We were founded on Christian beliefs but separating church and state has been taken way to far.
So glad I did not have them their entire lives
because I had already raised my children and did not need to be raising stepgrandchildren and especially ones that had been left to fend for themselves and did not know how to cut up a piece of meat to eat it, no manners, nothing, took to Walt Disney World and they had never even heard of Snow White and 7 dwarfs but they sure knew about reefers, killings, rapings, etc. This is how they were growing up. I thank my lucky stars I am not in that situation anymore. I know personally of not only the neighbor who gets a check for her son being diagnosed as attention but also my cleaning lady, she also knows how to work the system, so she tells me and from what she has told me, I firmly believe it. Lots of people working the welfare systems yet.
I agree. We are considering our daughter's lives here....

I am reading about all the pets we have in our lives
and hearing about the tragedy that has come our way, especially today. I know how much your animals(s) mean to you as they mean the same to me. I would ask all of you, not only the ones who have lost their friends and family today, but also the rest out there to consider an adoption from the humane society. There are a lot of anmals we can give good forever homes to. I give a donation each month to the humane society as well as take my newspapers there because they shred them and use for the animal beds. There is a little life out there waiting for a family, think about it.
Why are people throwing their lives away?
I am up in years, have worked a total of 50 years now (yeh, started really young) and still working. My mother could not afford to send me to college and years ago I did not believe I was college material. I did, thank goodness, find transciption, always extremely fast typist (self-taught by the way at 12) and good speller, hey what more can you want? Anyway, back to my post. What in the world is going on when highly educated people in high paying jobs being so dense as to try to pull off crimes that get them jail, prison time, fired from their jobs, and on and on. I just do not get this at all. Just when you think you have heard it all on the news, you hear something crazier! I have never been arrested, don’t want to be, try to live a decent life and would not think twice about trying to pull something that would compromise the way I lead my life. What are they thinking??
My daughter is at VT and lives in West AJ.
With her guardian angel watching over her, my daughter is fine. After the first shooting, she was released to go to class and was walking toward Norris Hall. The police told her to go back to her dorm. She is in lock down and hungry. What a sad day for the VT community. Please pray for the families who lost their students.
I have friend who lives on the other side
of the railroad tracks that cook these things.
Never ever ate that, swear on my furkids lives
Now I love beef but hardly eat that now- hubby wants us to cut back on that and the pork but that does not mean I do not love. I probably would throw up if someone served me liver of any kind. I was raised in Tenn but live in Georgia now and no I have never. I have seen liver in the grocery but as far as the other organs, just do not see them here (in town over 4 million) so have shopped in big stores. We have an international market and the next time I am there will check and see if they carry these items.
grew up in St. Albans, mom now lives in
Hurricane, used to go to Point Pleasant all the time for Sunday drives. Wanted to see that movie but haven't gotten around to it. I am old enough to remember the Marshall plane crash - couldn't bring myself to see it.

All cattle graze for most of their lives. All of them...
and there is overhead involved in grass fed beef. There is overhead involved in everything, but my real question was: How does finishing with corn change the "chemistry" of the muscle?
For us who spend our lives listening
we all sure have a lot to say! Love it.
If I remember correctly the mom lives - sm
on her own piece that she got in the divorce. The daughter lives next door on a piece of land the dad owns.(unclear if dad owns the daughter's home though). The dad (ex-husband of mom) lives elsewhere. In any case, a real mess. Dad needs to be locked up and evaluated or they may all end up dead.
My mom lives close and it's nice
My mother and my siblings and I all live within about a 10 mile radius. The grandchildren can go to grandma's anytime they want. They are in and out sometimes every day. They like to spend the night at grandma's house and she likes to have them there. They keep toys and extra clothes there just in case and they have their own dresser drawers, spots in a closet, etc. She's a great mom and is the one person any of us will leave a sick child with when we "absolutely" have to. BUT my mom likes to have her own space. She likes the fact that she can "just say no" (which she rarely does) and that they go home when she's tired. Sometimes it's as casual as picking her up and all of us going out to lunch and then back home, but the kids see her at least 3-4 times a week.
None of us have ever taken advantage of her as a babysitter and "dumped" our kids on her. We respect her schedule and plans. She loves seeing the kids. My niece cut her first tooth at grandma's house. She got to see them grow and saw how much they remind her of their parents, her children. I think she would have missed out on a lot had we all not lived so close. Both sets of grandparents lived 350 miles away when I was growing up and I hated it, as we only got to see them a few times a year.
I don't think he lives at home anymore.
I usually take the woman's side with this kind of stuff, but can't do it with Kate. She has changed big time. Jon said a long time ago he didn't want to do the show anymore but she's really into it. I think she is only doing the show for herself, not her kids (as she says), and she is willing to put her marriage on the line. In my opinion, she has never treated Jon very well. She's very overbearing. It's her way or the highway and he chose the latter.
I hope they take the show off the air.
Then, they can widen the road by allowing God to come into their lives!

I thought of an iPod, but he already has one and because he lives in the city, the air gun
It's such a quandry trying to buy for a teen! I really don't want to just get him a gift card. "Auntie" really wanted to do something memorable. He's getting older and he's just not that little bitty guy anymore! 
I love NYC, and I think everyone should go to see a B'way show at least once in their lives.
But if you're ever interested in doing a shorter, probably less expensive theater trip, don't forget about Philadelphia. Lots of Broadway shows come to Philly. The Lion King, Wicked, The Producers -- they've all been here. The casts can be different, but no less amazing. One of the best nights of my life was seeing Yul Bryner in the King and I in Philadelphia. Amazing! This past Saturday night I saw Michael York play King Arthur in Camelot with Rachel York was Gunavere. I just bought a subscription to the Walnut Street Theatre in Philly and will see Man of LA Mancha, Peter Pan, The Price, the Odd Couple and Les Mis next season, along with Amadeus at the Wilma Theatre.
No, it's not quite Broadway -- not the lights, not the hustle and bustle, not the exact casts. But, for a shorter trip for less money, a quick weekend without the kids perhaps, you can see amazing theatre in Philly, too. And when it comes to food and restaurants, Philadelphia has a well earned reputation as a foodie city.
Enjoy your time in NYC! If you're ever in Philly, drop me a line!
My best friend from high school lives in
Charlottesville as well as my DH uncle. We absolutely love to visit there. I live in Bluefield, VA. My friend is a single mother (ex lives in Atlanta) raising her 12yr old daughter there. She is incredibly happy there. Not too long ago it was voted one of the best cities to raise a family. Good luck to you.
Does divorce always mess up boys' lives?? (sm)
So worried about my 10 year old son, whether I go or whether I stay. Anyone with experience?
