I thought it was very obvious that there were several not 16.  It has to be harder to be in puberty, developed, to flip around like they do.

In addition to that, Brian Williams did a story about the Chinese little girl that sang in the opening ceremony.  She was lip synching - the real little girl that was singing was not "physically pleasing" enough to get the credit for singing.  I think she was actually singing live too and held backstage or in the background.

Off until Monday afternoon, have a friend coming in on Saturday (female) and for the first time since I have been single, over five years, going out dancing and having fun on New Years Eve.   See if this old lady still has it in her to have a night of fun.   Not sure if I remember how to dance.  Hope you all have a Happy New Years.   2007 is going to be a good one for me.

After my mom died, I buried her in the family plot. My cousin's husband (Joan and John) asked if there were any lots left (yes, 2) and could they have them. Since they lived in the same town all their lives, I gave the deed to them. I also told them at that time (7 years ago) that I had bought lots for my family and I would be willing to move my mom - I still had some money then. They said it was not necessary.

Joan died Sunday and John called my aunt to get my phone # and asked if I moved mom. I said I didn't because no one really asked me to do it. He told the kids that I refused to move mom. The lots are split, one on the side of mom and one on the my grandfather's side. I think they wanted a stone with both their names on it and buried aside of each other.  One of the kids called my aunt yesterday and said there was no hard feelings, but that her dad had called me a couple weeks ago and asked me to move my mom. He didn't do that because he didn't have my phone number!! My aunt told her that, but I'm not sure if they believe her.

Anyway, the viewing is tonight and I should really go, but I'm afraid my John will cause a scene and that's the last thing I need. I'm literally making myself sick in the stomach over this as I can't afford to move my mom now.

Any advice? Should I still go or should I stay home? I've been running this through my mind ever since he called and can't come to a decision by myself.

 I will have to see the kids at the family reunion in August, but it may blow over by then. John hasn't gone to the reunion in years so I'm not afraid he'll be there then.

P.S. Over the past 5 years, I have been getting panic attacks at viewings.

been there, done that - am finished (thank goodness!!)....I was really at my peak of 'tude (attitude, what you called CRAB *lol*) from 42-45 with pre- perimenopause.....it DOES get better once it is all over (does take about 10 years from the very onset to the finish).  But are we really *finished*?  I guess we are in menopause the rest of our lives even if we are *done* and the 10 years has passed....*lol*  But I swear, it DOES get better

My son has asthma.  I've learned learned a thing or two about air quality and air pollution. 

I don't know if this is why the OP's neighbor is mowing late, but I mow late and yet I get it done before 10 p.m.

Quite frankly, I think some of you all are being a bit sensitive!  And just as much as your right to peace and quiet is being infringed upon, you are trying to infringe upon your neighbors rights to do what he wants in his own yard and inside is own house! 

said, "I told you we should buy me a new bike," and I looked up at him and his arm was all bloody and his left flank and hip were all bloody and grungy,  I shot off an e-mail to whoever was there on Sunday night and took him to the ER with a broken arm.  Bike was also unrepairable.  By the way, I offered to buy him a new bike not too many days prior to this incident and he said he didn't need one. 

How many of us stay in our PJs all day? 

Ive been at home now for about 5 or 6 years - I cannot seem to break this bad habit of mine!!  I think it is beginning to wear on me.  I miss "having to" buy new clothes and looking nice everyday...now, I cannot seem to find a "good" reason to get fixed up for the day home by myself!!!

Anyone else go through this!!!

Almost every day unless I have an appointment of some type!  No makeup and hair in a ponytail!  It does feel good, though, I have to admit to "fix up" every once in a while and sometimes I do miss it but not enough to put forth the energy most days.

Yes, I just for the first time this year bought bras for my daughter.  She seemed okay with it, but she's slightly overweight, so I felt this would be easier than buying T-shirts that are not long enough to tuck in.  So, we went with the Sport Type kind that she seemed to like at first, and now I've noticed she's not wearing them.  So, I asked her why, and she says she just forgets, which is highly possible, since it's only been since school started.  I just feel better knowing she's wearing something, but of course, she was wearing T-shirts.  So, what is one to do?  I really do not see any harm in the bra.  I am totally against having little girls dress beyond their age, but we're talking underclothes here, so if the child is comfortable, then just try one to see how she likes it.  My daughter was kind of embarassed as it was actually my idea since I felt she needed something under her regular shirts, since they tend to be thin and unforgiving in her situation.  Good luck to you, but I in no way, shape, or form believe that bra at 5 means thing at 10 and even if it does, so be it.  I think a person has a right to a certain degree to wear the underclothes of their choice if any at all!   

I just think there could be worse things that she is asking for at 5. 

I was recently dx with RA, and have been having some issues wearing my wedding band.  Two main problems - my fingers get puffy and wearing the band makes my hand itch (even though they are solid gold).  I was thinking about getting a tattoo'd ring on my ring finger, but I was wondering if you all could come up with some ideas that are creative but perhaps not as painful...I don't mind the permanancy, as I am married with the intention of staying that way for life. 

Thanks in advance, y'all.

I'm afraid to try to guess how much that foot is going to grow before she gets to high school!    She's also 2 heads taller than the kids in her class.
