without him. If he can get a cheap enough place it might be cheaper than commuting, and if work would/could help pay for it to that would be great. My DH travels a lot, though it is mostly day driving, his daily drive to work is a min. of 1 hour. When he has to go to the same place for a few days that is 2 hours away, he will sometimes stay 1 night to give himself a break (company pays). He gets a very sore back from all the driving and his left leg bothers him a lot too from whatever position he puts it in in the car. Our first two years of marriage I only saw him on the weekends as he was 2.5 hours away at work (we later moved there); I had no problem with it and still don't. I'd rather have him stay and be alive (accidents happen), then drive home just so he can be here and help me with the kids, etc. Yeah, it gets a bit hectic when he is out of town but I can handle it and so can you.

I so agree... I have been watching every week....sm
waiting for the end and than the fade to black. I am like others who thought their TV went off or Direct TV had a glitch. I mean what the heck? Such a let down. I hate it when movies or TV shows leave you hanging like that as I am one of those who then spends days thinking out other ends, etc. and then just drive myself crazy, lol. I guess they have left themselves wide open for options of a full length movie or such. Geez.
The only way to survive, if you really can't cut anything else back - sm
is to increase your income. Get a 2nd job or have someone else in your family get another job.
Gloria Gaynor's *I WILL SURVIVE*
HEROES by Mariah Carey (where we women become our own heroes)......
Gloria Gaynor's *I Will Survive* has been my survivor song for 40 years nearly.
Tina Turner: Better Be Good To Me, Look Me In The Heart, When The Heartache Is Over, Talk To My Heart..and really any song of Tina's. *S*......Talk about a survivor!!!
The world you're teaching them to live and survive in
seems to be a very cold, harsh one. I wonder if you're as hard on yourself when you make a mistake and "forget" something.
I Will Survive, Donna Summer or Gloria Gaynor; Goodbye
Earl, Dixie Chicks; Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Pat Benatar. After she moves, take her out to dinner and a chick-flick or a night on the town.
I wish we could all go the week of the graduation but their graduations are always a week earlier th
ours. So actually all three of my kids are still in school this week while all of hers will already be out. My youngest is actually missing school to go but my two older kids have finals so they can't go at all that week.
Thank you. I guess I'm just trying to find a nice way to say it without causing friction and keeping the peace.
My DH is your typical male, just deal with it when the time comes whereas I want to take care of things right away without hurting anyone's feelings.
Nights!

working nights
I work nights, 11p-7a and sleep while my child is at school and it works great for me. I have no problem getting up when it is time to go to school for a function and then I lay down with him at night before I have to come to work and it works out great so far.
Last nights leftovers. BTW sm
what is hot water cornbread?
It's on CMT, Tuesday nights at around 9 or 10:00.
Hosted by John Rich. Last season they had Bobby Brown, Carnie Wilson, Maureen McCormack, Julio Iglesias, Jr., Diana Digarmo from American Idol, and some other people I can't remember. They live together and have to write a a country song and perform it before an audience. Julio won.
This season there's Sean Young (crazy), Lorenzo Lamas, Jermaine Jackson, Irene Cara, some girl from American Idol, and two other guys I've never heard of. They all live in a house together to learn to write a country song and then they have to perform it before a live audience.
that will give me incentive on bad nights (sm)
I use mine every night, too, and it's made a world of difference, but sometimes it gets really old wearing it. Remembering such tragic stories is certainly motivation enough for me. My sympathies to you and your brother's family; that's too young to die.
1 to 2 more glasses of wine some nights.

Why in the world would I have to work nights?
How many people want to work, really want to work nights? First of all, it is very unhealthy for you- do you not know the link between women working nights and breast cancer? Do you not know other illnesses associated with working at night? I have never worked nights, never wanted to, never had to and hope that will always be the case. My gosh, what else do you want to down me for- now it is for not working nights? Ridiculous!
When my husband started nights
It was his decision to switch to nights and I told him if he did he had to go to bed when he got home and be up when the kids got home from school. Some nights he might take a short nap before he leaves (by short I mean an hour) but that was the compromise we made.
Just bought Ŝ Hour Sleep" - used 2 nights - like it a lot (sm)
Bought it at Food Lion. It has valerian root, 5-htp and melatonin and some other ingredients. Works pretty well and I am not tired the next day.
A&E Psychic Children, Monday nights, NM
z
I have a 16yo son. On school nights, he has to be home by 9p. SM
On weekends, midnight. However, he is not allowed to be gone every night during the week. It helps that his girlfriend's parents and I are on the same page and when they are together on a school night, they are at her hourse or my house and that makes it easier to enforce the rules. Plus they do their homework together which is nice. My son when from failing classes last year to make all As and Bs this year. So I try to give him a little more freedom because of the effort he's been giving.
I bowl on Thursday nights so it's take out for the rest of the family - NM

Grey's Anatomy & Hopkins - Thursday nights. sm
Law & Order SVU and Desparate Housewives. I usually use the DVR and watch them when I get a chance.
A few nights ago Jane Valez-Mitchell on her show
gave details on the extent of injuries suffered in the recent chimp attack. This woman lost both eyelids, nose and lips and both hands in the attack. They said she may be blind with serious neurologic deficits and is still listed in critical condition. My heart goes out to her and her family. Jane also said that some of the hospital staff are actually undergoing counseling after seeing the extent of injuries.
What an awesome post! I agree, agree, agree completely with you.
 You are right on the money in my book! 
I went there for a week but never could get - sm
in the water as it was red flagged the whole time I was there. Stayed at the Oasis, very nice. Only went down to the beach once, ended up stepping on a bee, must have been one heck of a bee as it made me sick (or a reaction)--never had that happen before, luckily only for the rest of the day (2pm on), was fine the next day except for a sore foot. --I recommend Grand Cayman, great beaches, great snorkeling or scuba (the reefs there are amazing), the turtle farm is neat. Can be pricey but not too bad. I've been there about 5 x, plan on going again one of these days.
Since it has only been a week since
they were nursing, this is probably not abnormal, but it can't hurt to talk to the vet anyway. I also agree with below posters, definitely get this girl spayed. I raise show cats and this is most definitely the time of year the girls cycle the most, it is kitten season. Good luck.
The week from you know where
Not sure where to start here -- but I'll try to make this short and sweet. In a roommate situation till I can get some bills paid. Roomie sitch is a male and female couple and myself and I have a " significant other" who has lived with a male roomie for 12 years. Nothing FUNNY is going on with the roommate situation and for me, here in the Miami area, just working and "digging out of the hole" so to speak. I rent a room am able to use the house where I live.
Thursday, I ended up getting a new cell phone after BATTLING with S carrier for a month. It was a Motorola Q and while I know computers -- this thing baffled me -- Monday morning and it might be a return -GRR.
Sorry, OLD lady here and I digress -- anyway, with all the S***on Monday after being gone from my place for 3 weeks, the FEMALE roomie has done nothing but get on my case -- when I returned, unpacked, worked, and went to Long John Silvers. The rest of the week, I had frozen shrimp and used a SMALL portion of her pasta. What I did not eat was put in a plastic container and sealed in the fridge.Basically griping the whole week -- NOTE -- she does not work and her BF supports
Thursday, was on the phone with Sprint, got new phone, went to Wal-Mart and got my haircut (after about a month and a half) and back to the house. I then tried to get "new phone" working right and on with techs to very little avail, so gave it up and went to bed. SO called me Friday morning and I loaded my car to make the trip to Miami -- Friday afternoon, I get a call from the "female roomie" about the "mess I had left -- 1 plate in the sink from pasta she had made and OFFERED, the restt of the shrimp was in the fridge, and when I cook, I clean afterwards. The only thing in the sink was a plate, fork and coffee cup -- I get a call Friday and she was BALLISTIC --telling me that she wasnt my maid etc -- HELLO?
Saturday, I was busy cause the new phone didnt work right and my son and his GF flew down here to go on a cruise so not online at all -- I sign in late tonight and she had sent threats via my Yahoo account -- I really, HONESTLY think that because her "boyfriend controls her" Here again too, she has no DL -- NO car and if she dosent answer her phone, he would call my cell, but that changed when I changed my # --
I'm rambling but...is this a thing where I call the "authorities" ? I have done enough psych transcription -- BUT to get her to a hospital Im not sure what to do.
I am sooooooooo sorry that this was long but 3:45 here and I am REALLY scared of going back there tomorrow
Thanks
I saw a guy last week
who had been a teacher for a school, band and choir I think, who got the 3-X out for being "boring" or something to that effect. Not sure if he is the same guy you are looking for.
During the week, they can SM
Go to after school activities (including sports), work (very limited hours) and church. They are allowed on Friday and Saturday (I have two teens by the way) to make any plans that they want within reason of course. Sunday is for church and family dinner unless other arrangements are made WAY in advance. I have two younger ones too and they will have to abide by the same.
Good luck!
We usually eat out once a week. On the
nights I don't feel like cooking, I have frozen dinners in the freezer, soups, make grilled cheese, and I always have leftovers from the nights I do cook.
My kids love pizza, so our "eat out night" is usually Pizza Hut or Papa Murphy's takeout.
About once a week sm
She is a small poodle, less than 2 years old. She runs outside every chance she gets and gets under the deck. She also sleeps on my bed every night and I will not sleep with something that smells bad. If I enjoyed that sort of thing, I would still be married.
She has very fine, wavy poodle hair. She is oily and if she doesn't have a bath at least every 10 days, she freezes in the winter, even in her cute little sweaters. I give her a bath, let her dry in front of the faux fireplace, and brush her a bit. Next day, she is perfectly warm in her little sweaters and warmer at night too. If she goes very long, she develops so much eye snot that she can't see well. I do my own grooming and I keep her properly trimmed about every other week.
End result is: Gorgeous little apricot poodle who looks adorable and smells like flowers. No dry skin, no flaking, almost never scratches at all unless she has had to go a whole 2 weeks without a bath. This is not too frequently for this dog.
We are at 1-2 x a week, usually just on - sm
the weekends though, and usually quickies as the kids are always here......I am so tired at night that anything more than a quickie is rare and maybe once a month.--My DH is the one who initiates as my sex drive went in the toilet 10 years ago with my first pregnancy and just never came back. I still enjoy it just lost the "urge" for it I guess.
I think this week for sure it's going
to be Matt or Allison. Kris keeps hanging on because the young girls think he's hot, but I actually prefer Matt to Kris voice-wise...
I think Gokey was AWESOME last night, as usual. :)
once a week maybe.
Used to go out more but got sick of eating out. It began to taste all the same. Plus, during the summer, my husband grills out 2 to 3 times a week and it's GREAT!
also once a week....nm

WHAT A WEEK!!!!
We lost Michael, Farrah, and Ed McMahon!!! I don't follow "celebrities" all that much, but wow! I can't believe 3 in one week.
Same thing I think every week...he needs to go!
If you haven't watched tonight's AI yet, I don't want to spoil anything so don't read this if you don't want to hear anything. All I can say is...what was up with that crying little girl??? But then again, she cried when Melinda sang too so maybe she does have some taste after all!
Did not see the preview from last week.
Well that is good news to see him up and about. Hopefully that will happen today, maybe.
Yes, so sad when Nick and Sharon were screaming and then Nick trying to get back in. May be Nick and Sharon will reunite because of this. I like them together.
I am watching while I am working too. Really hard to get anything done.
In another preview from last week
we saw him sitting up. Hopefully that is a good sign. Didn't your heart just break when you saw Nick trying to run back in the building? OOOOOHHHH, I get too involved. LOL
I have for a week and a half now
I started it a week ago Sunday.. that would be the 17th. I have had absolutely no "treatment effects" as they call them. I have watched what I eat and have switched to some lower fat or no fat products, as far as like cheese, salad dressings, sour cream, things like that. I don't really eat a lot of fatty meat anyway, so that hasn't been anything to deal with. The changes have been pretty simple actually, pretty easy to make. Also with Alli, it only works around the meal that you take it with. So, if you basically want to watch your fat for most lunches and dinners, as I'm doing, you just take it for those two meals. I don't worry about it with breakfast because I usually just have cereal anyway. If you have some occasion planned, dinner out, might be having a meal with more than 15 g or so of fat, just don't take it. It is pretty simple really and if it does nothing else, it keep you honest with those meals you eat when you take it.
uh, your ankle was like that for a week before you went in
"needless to say I am still in pain"....maybe you should not have walked on it for a week without getting medical treatment for it; that is not the hospital's fault....do you see the irony of your statement?
Yep, for over a week now, in Missouri

I go to the gym 5 days a week
and I own my own treadmill, stationary bike, and some weights. I have always had a thin build and always played sports as a kid and as a teenager, and have always been very active (I'm 26 now). I guess that's how I do it. I'd go insane if I didn't work out.
I use AVG and also run spybot once a week. (nm)

She was in hospital almost a week before she had him...
Sorry I didn't mention that he took off a week before she had the baby. But yeah he has went back to work according to her mom. I think she is embarrassed about his feet but I have told her that she need not be he is a sweet adorable baby. How could someone make fun of a baby? When I do ask to speak to her her mom will say she is busy or something. I say well the baby must be really keeping her busy and her mom says no actually he sleeps most of the time. The baby was checked by the doctor and he said completely healthy baby other than the clubbed feet. I thought about dropping by but her mom had said that she just wished people would not come over. And one of my other friends "dropped" in and her mom called me and was kind of acting like they thought that was rude to come unannounced. So I don't know how to go about it. I did call during the time she has been home but her mom said her husband was off so I know she wouldn't talk. She is very strict about no phone calls when they are together. It is weird to me but she is a very good friend. But I would still call and ask her mom how her and the baby were anyway and some days her mom would call me just to chat. I don't know I kind of feel like I have lost my friend. I will have to send a card.
Sounds like us, we were in the 70s last week and
now have 3 inches of snow.
coming up soon, next week I think...
a
Mine was doing that just last week!
I was gonna toss it, because it's just this little mouse that looks like a ladybug (queer, I know, but I'm like that!). My husband is a gadget freak and took it apart, which consisted of removing 1 screw to separate the "shell." Inside it was a TON of lint that was messing up the wheel. He just blew it out and it was good to go. Might want to give that a shot before ya chuck it. This mouse is an optic mouse though, no ball on the bottom. On the old ones, you can remove the ball and clean it as well if that's the case.
I just saw those at Walgreens this week nm

Yes, I posted in regards to this last week. sm
My post, however, got deleted. I did receive an email from administration saying it was fixed and it did appear fixed for a day or two, but is now back again. VERY FRUSTRATING!@
I bought a new car a week ago...
If anyone cares. A brand new Kia Spectra. I got a great deal on it. They gave me a $2000 rebate so that meant no down payment. And they took off an additional $500 for applying for it on the internet. I love the car and it gets around 35 mpg. So that is my good news!
1K a week? wow, no wonder you remember with such sm
nostalgia! I started MT in 1984 at 4.25/hr; minimum wage. I NEVER heard of anyone making those kind of bucks!
Once I remember I had a two-week SM
check of almost $1,800.00 which included a good bonus. I was pretty fast in those days and had a lot of normals I used to pull up. I did not work full time, but about 5-6 hours a day, sometimes a litte more, I used to work some hours on Saturday mornings if my account was behind.
I'm on vacation this week, so ...
brought some movies along to catch up on. I watched 27 Dresses, which was just okay. I loved PS I Love You. Also been watching The Office with my sister and DS, and Emergency!, which aren't exactly movies, but lots of fun. It's been a great week with my family. Almost hate going back to work on Monday!
