True story
The scariest horror movies are the ones based on a true story! My personal favorite is The Entity. It is an older movie, effects are not so great, but It scared me!!!
true story lol
We had a neighbor who used to work for a vending machine company. Well he retired, and I guess they get to keep like so much candy or whatever, or maybe he owned the company, I don't know.
Anyways, he gave us a five POUND box of runts. You know the candy that is shaped like fruit (which always was kind of an oxymoron to me...) anyways, when we bought our new house, the realtor gave us a candy dish as a housewarming gift (is that common practice?)
Well long story short, I totally attribute that box of runts to my ten pound weight gain when we moved in! Fortunately some renegade mice got into it and we had to throw the rest out!
Does this story ring true for you?
Talked to the mom of one of my daughter's friends on the way home from work yesterday. She told me her husband is going to federal prison for 8 years because he recieved some child porn via e-mail (didn't say who/where from) and reported the e-mails to his ISP. She says the ISP reported it to the FBI, and the FBI never tried to trace the e-mails back to the originator but arrested and prosecuted her husband for them being in his possession.
I've decided not to let my daughter go to their house again. The little girl is welcome at my house, but even if the story above is mostly true, what prompted him to be getting those type of e-mails and why is he even opening them? Would like to know if other moms agree or I am going overboard?
i can't believe you are falling for someone's story that probably isn't true
Really, who, in the situation this Philly girl describes herself to be in would REALLY talk about it the way she does? Either this is a very lonely financially strapped person who is living a "make believe" life for the sake of those on this board, or she is insane. I don't know of anyone who has their life together in the fashion described that would be tooting their horn like that on this board. You know,"if it is on the internet, then it just has to be true" NOT. People like that make up situations and cause chaos and friction in order to get the responses that she has been getting. That is the payoff. The responses. This person is not who she says she is, so we can all just feel sorry for this person with the "make believe life" who acts totally opposite to the position she states she is in. Her behavior is more telling than her words.

Well, that one's covered lol
I have been keeping a log of what I do on a daily basis for a year - ever since my gd was dropped off with me - to keep a record of who contacts me, whom I contact, by what method of contact, what happened/was said, etc. I never thought about that aspect of accusation of parental abuse, but the bruises are obviously in the healing stage - no swelling, etc. Everyone knows I don't go over there anymore except to let gd visit with her, and since I'm under a court order with her custody, I am very careful what I do and say. When I got there yesterday, she wasn't home, so I waited for a while. Her boyfriend pulled into the driveway and dropped her off about 15 minutes later, so he is aware of her condition and that I haven't been in contact with her.
I've been trying to reach my sister tonight to ask her to go over and take a look for herself. Don't know if she will do it or not, but I do have another sister who has witnessed some of what I've seen and she might go. I also have police reports where I had to call them when she got lost trying to visit me at my new home and was found driving in circles in an intersection, uncertain which road to take...just circling, circling, circling....
Yes, insurance covered it.
There was a pre-certification process, which included photographs. Ugh. It took about a month to get the approval. It was 100% covered through my insurance.
2 of the 3 were covered by insurance
We changed insurance plans back and forth between my husband and I during those years and 2 of the 3 did pay for it. We paid for the second child's circ and it was only $110. We really didn't have the money for it at the time, but since we had circ'ed the first one, we thought we should be consistent.
We also had both types of circs -- the first one had the Plastibell, which I did like better because I don't think it's painful at all. The second 2 had the surgical circ, but it healed much nicer and quicker.
I think you are right that my kids probably wouldn't have had much of an issue with the teasing if we hadn't circ'ed them since it's become more common not to do the circs. But after my husband's ordeal, he wanted it done and I didn't really care one way or another. I think hygenically it will be easier for them when they're crusty old men. EWWW!
It would be creeper for me being covered by
a quilt or by a quilt made out of my sister's clothes, just lying there.....
The fact that you are doing quilts does not excuse or justify everything.
I would prefer to WEAR her clothes, period. Do not try to manipulate me into something.
Forgot to add I cook it covered. (NM)

LOL .. Thanks now im CRAVING choc covered strawberries UGH!!
Hadnt even noticed after being on there 15 times today.
Illnesses, accidents, shots are covered....

What??? No Queen Anne Chocolate-Covered Cherries??!! lol ;-) NM

Nope, insurance never covered any of my plastic surgeries but
I still had them- several- just like I would finance this also. This is definitely considered cosmetic unless used for the original eye problem it was intended for.
No recipe, but just mix it 1/2 and 1/2 and put in covered dish or crock pot. Uncover to brown

Check a few recipes on foodtv.com to get an idea. Moistest fish is covered

mmmm--could be....maybe....possibly..nm

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. 
If soft porn could possibly be more

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.
My money's on fertility drugs. (Possibly an
WOW
I agree. You need to talk to teacher, possibly higher up.

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.
Your comment
about checking BC pills will probably draw a lot of fire about teenage sex, etc. However, my daughter's 17-year-old friend just had a baby 3 weeks ago. They had unprotected sex ONCE and she got pregnant. This was a very smart girl, ranked #1 in the class academically, churchgoer, not a drinker, no drugs. She is now missing out on her senior year and all the hoopla, taking classes at home to get her diploma, and raising a baby. It is too late to say she should have abstained, this is the reality of the situation and all concerned are making the best of it. So I say keep checking those BC pills, Mom!
about the comment
I lived in a trailer park for 11 years, and to those who felt offense, I apologize. I know from first-hand experience that not everyone who lives in a trailer or a trailer park is trashy, but there are enough that someone created the saying. This neighbor happens to fit whatever criteria associated with the comment. I didn't live trashy when I lived in trailers, or any apartment I've been in, or in any home, either. It's an attitude and lifestyle that fits the comment...not everyone fits the comment.
Oh, by the way, add to your comment here
The "preachers kids are always the very worst!" You have heard that I am sure.
Well, guess what I am married to a Pastor, I am a Pastor's wife and these are my children who we are talking about. So I guess you can add that to your list of gripes. LOL.
Thank you for you comment.......sm
and I wish you all the best.
People who think that they can deliberately destroy their lives, are inconsiderate, selfish and unthankful towards people who love them.
Self-destruction is a sin, because it is a slow suicide.
Whenever she makes a comment that you
suspect is made as a dig, try smiling pleasantly and saying, "What?" and waiting for a reply. If she is trying to be mean and trying to slip it by everybody else, she may not be willing to explain what she meant. If you do it every time, not quite hearing or understanding those comments, you will tire her out because her zing didn't hit.
That's what I am looking for- opinions from others. Thank you for your comment.
:)
Your comment about an old HS bad apple -
made me laugh, reminds me of a guy I went to school. He used to sell T-shirts at concerts (the fake one's, not put out by the performer/band); was high most of the time; now he is a copyright attorney - talk about ironic.
Was the flea comment really necessary?
Another comment about harnesses
Our neighbor was walking his dog with just a collar and leash. The dog was so hyper it it jumped and in the process broke his neck. If he had a harness on this would not have happened. It was totally heartbreaking.
do not let him anger you with this comment
he feels this way because you make more money than him, and after that comment, I would calmly and confidently remind him of that whenever you need to, maybe daily. Also, sit his dumb___ down and make him type one sentence of a hard provider, then calmly and confidently talk down to him and tell him he would never be able to do your job. Calm and confident. Do not ever again let him make you feel that way.
I don't understand the comment
"knowing the girls these days" can you elaborate?
I understand the comment very well
I think a lot of girls now completely out there with their dressing, suggestiveness, forwardness, aggressiveness. I guess trying to keep up with the guys. When you see a prison population go from mostly male to more females than ever, does that not tell you something?
I understood the comment, too
That's why I thought it was offensive.
Your aunt's comment....
''well, the doctors really do not want you to tell them what you think it is or what to do for any ailments.''
I don't understand why you are upset; she was talking about the doctors, not you, and her comment was pretty much right on. Unless I am misunderstanding.
I have some problems, probably fibro or a rheumatoid thing, and am going to doctors now for a workup. I do a LOT of research and I know a lot. But, in my experience so far, if you tell a doctor what you think it is, most will do everything in their power to prove you wrong or will just say no, if they don't think of it first. It's called arrogance and yes a holier than thou attitide.
So I guess I don't understand why this upset you.
Comment on Alli
I'm 45 and started Alli the weekend it came out in mid-June. I weighed about 185 at the time. This morning, I weighed 163. It's been a slow, steady loss. I haven't had any of the "treatment effects" that are talked about with Alli. Just the threat of those treatment effects if you eat too much fat and take Alli are enough... it teaches you to watch your fat grams, which makes you also reduce calories. I haven't felt deprived in the least, but I've learned to eat healthier, less fat, smaller portions. I've been using Lean Cuisine or Smart Ones for my quickie meals, and eating lots of rice, veggies, fruit, whole grains, lean meats. I have lost 20 plus pounds doing Atkins in the past, but gained it all back plus about 10 more. Over the winter, I was the highest ever.. up at about what I was when 9 months pregnant! I feel so much better right now, and I feel confident that when this bottle of Alli runs out, I probably could go without because in these 3 months I've developed habits that I can stick with. Good luck!
