Oh, I see a halo over the head
NM
Halo not for son, for AnnieM
Next thing I will be hearing more of this sermon.
anytime :) n/m

why is is that anytime someone has a differing opinion--sm
that person suddenly has an *anger issue*. If she doesn't like AI, she does not have to. that does not make that person ILL or ANGRY.
Anytime my mother would see graffiti she'd say,...
"Fools names and fools faces, always found in public places."
Have you noticed that anytime 1 of the performers
decides to go on the offensive as Scott did when he said he was satisfied with his performance and thought good (as did Megan) and others, the voters out there just do not seem to like it and they are voted off really soon? Now when Lil was getting a bad evaluation the other night, she was not standing there saying she was satisfied and that was that and she stayed and Scott went. I really think people pay close attention to that and it does not pay for the contestants who want to do their own thing their own way. Just does not work out well for them. I did not see Adam the other night but saw Danny and as usual thought very good. I think it is going to be a guys only when all said and done.
Anytime you feel that internal concern
it's important to follow through. Have him evaluated, perhaps multiple evaluations. You can't go wrong. Either your fears will be set aside, or you can begin early intervention.
I have no experience with autistic children, but I can tell you that my youngest child did many of the things that you list under "red flags". He obsessed over lining things up, particularly cars. In addition, he'd get VERY upset if you disturbed his line. He barely spoke until he was 3 years old. He always seemed distant to us, not wanting or giving hugs, kisses, not interacting very much. I really felt that he had some sort of serious delay. In comparison, his older brother was always very engaging, talkative, learned to read at age 3. We were very concerned about our younger child.
Fast forward a little bit... our younger son had a slow start in school, but by second grade, he was identified as gifted. He eventually came out of his shell, became talkative, and today is a confident, poised young man, quick to smile and hug his mother. He was just offered scholarships to two major universities. He is planning a career in engineering.
Our older son, who grabbed all sorts of attention for being so advanced, is a wonderful young man, too. He's level-headed, respectful, a real man of character at the age of 20. When he entered kindergarten, he was tested at a 3rd grade reading level, and was equally ahead of the curve in all the other academic areas. Teachers loved him. Eh, but all good things come to an end. He always marched to the beat of a different drummer, and he never was motivated by anything external to his own desires. As a result, he was never much for bringing home good grades. "I know the stuff, why must you all ask me to prove it?" He's returning to college today with a smile on his face and once again on academic probation. "Don't worry mom, you know I know this stuff." The odds are, he will most likely pull himself back up to minimum acceptable standards, just as he has all through his school career. I have a collection of failure warnings that spans years. But he's a wonderful human being and a honorable man, and very smart.
My point is, kids do surprise their parents! Good luck to you and your family.
Anytime - Enjoy the show tonight
That was so nasty. I actually had to change the channel. Too creepy for me and after watching so many seasons, that's saying a lot. LOL.
well, I'm all ready!
slow with work today so went and stocked up on milk, drinking water, batteries and candles. Going to type for one more hour and then going to finish the laundry and cook up a bunch of stuff just in case we do lose our electric. We usually do when there is an ice storm. Did someone say there is another storm coming Sunday? Haven't heard about that one yet. Wonder if it will hit Ohio too. I need my electric! I need to work!
Only when you are ready
It might be too soon for you to wear them, but you don't know how you might feel in the future. If it feels weird right now, put them away for awhile. In a year (or 2, or maybe never) you may want to wear them, but I don't think now is the time to make a decision either way.
Ready, set, go
Have short trip to Las Vegas with husband and then my own trips will be to Canada (Rockie Mountains, western part) for about 10 days, Washington, D.C. for a week and perhaps a gambling trip to Foxwoods & Newport but that is an iffy one.
I saw that too. He had that look like when he's about ready to BUST
l
Looks like you are ready to party.
I'll be right over. LOL Have a nice weekend. Plan on having a couple of cocktails myself. It has been a long week.
Let's get ready to..........transcribe! lol
x
Ready for round 2... sm
I have been seriously considering having it done a second time, which my doc had said might happen. Periods aren't *that* bad, I just don't want them any longer! ;)
My cousin had it done in the office and the pain was so excruciating, they had to stop the procedure. Apparently the machine was on trial, and they have since decided not to perform in-office procedures. Fortunately, she hasn't had a period since.
I highly recommend having it done. Best of luck to you.
Thank you. Will just wait until they are ready. nm

Christmas, not ready!
I can't believe I spent some of my grocery money to get a Christmas tree when I have nothing to put under it, duh. Heck, I didn't change my calendar from November to December until December 12th. Now I realize it is less than 10 days until Christmas. Maybe I can go to the Dollar Store, lol I guess there are a lot of people not ready money wise or mood wise this year, right? Even watching the news is depressing to me, all the talk about donating and giving when I cannot do either this year. I guess medical transcription is the wrong profession for me since I cannot make any more money than I could at a fast food place, lol, but I cannot figure out what to change it to. Thanks for listening. 
Wow, you are always ready to defend
your lack of self-control. If you have to use a credit card you CAN'T afford it. If you have to finance it, other than a house, you CAN'T afford it. When you use a CC you are not using your money, you are using someone else's. Just accept that some have a different opinion than you and you will get a negative reaction from time to time.
I agree. When he's ready, he'll want to do it.

business. Get lost because I'm not ready! nm

Was just about ready to post cat on the beagle
I am former owner of pedigreed female Beagle with the best tri-coloring One has ever seen. I not longer own her, cannot go there at this time. I will try to post my precious Pinkie at this time. If I can't oh well Note: She lives in Hawaii. I am her grandmother. Sorry could not upload her! Tree-Walker Hound she is
Is China ready for the Olympics?
I'm jealous that you have garden food ready now...sm
Good luck keeping the critters out so you can eat it all yourself!
yes, i have to say it did, but my kids were ready too, so i do understand how u feel

I'm always ready to share pics of my dogs..sm
I'm going to be in real trouble when I have grandkids if I'm this crazy over my dogs - I do have two granddogs - Golden Retrievers, but no pictures of them to share at the moment.
to be cheap - I buy ready made blankets
big lots, target, saw them somewhere in an add for 2.50 in yesterday's paper - that does limit your size but I'm making them for no reason - it is very therapeutic for me - just really got into tying those knots - made them for my daughters at Christmas (adults) and now I am thinking it would be good to keep one in cars too, for trips and in case you got stuck and it was cold because they are warm!
I am more tired getting ready for a holiday than if I were to work are you?
I don't know about this "Easter Bunny" business. I have today off and there is not much work anyway, so I decided to get ready for Sunday (I have 3 little kids). All I did so far today was go get my daughter a dress, and my boy an outfit, got all the basket stuff together and put them together. Then, I worked on me, day of beauty stuff, hair, etc. I have not worked today, yet doing these things I am exhausted! And I still have to dust, vacuum, declutter office, and bake a cake. Not to mention clean my sons' bathroom (eewwwww). I am putting all that off until tomorrow. Does anyone else find that although transcribing can lead to fatigue at times that doing chores and getting ready for holidays is more tiring?
Ugggg, calgon take me away.... Happy Spring Holidays everyone!
Are you ready to be brave? Take a deep breath...
Then do it and close your eyes real tight and be glad the minute you have done it (calling to have him picked up for psych eval) Then once you have him out of the house you can keep him out with a court order. Your life will improve. Are you Ready???? Be BRAVE! I was!!!
I'm with you. I live in west Michigan. I am more than ready. nm
nm
I'd be interested...email me with site when it's ready!
I love accessories and all that that entails *sigh*
I'm getting ready to buy a fixer upper and do all my decorating and designing myself. SM
So I've been watching him and a lot of the other HGTV design shows, etc. I want to save money, but I want everything too look expensive, ya know?
I loved what he did with the silk too, but problem is I don't sew. I don't even know how to operate a sewing machine, soooooooo anybody wanna make a buck? :)
Night person all the way...Around midnight I'm ready to roll!!! nm

I have on my "Let's get ready to stumble" shirt with leprechaun on it. (sm)
This is one of my favorite holidays. Not a lot of stress and bother to celebrate it like some of the others. Just relax, wear green and sip on a cold green beer later today.
I've been ready for Brooke to go home for weeks!
Never have liked her. She seems fake, her voice is weak, and I hate that little pouty face she makes all the time. No clue why she is still there.
I'm still cheering for David Cook.
I'm ready to stand on the corner in short-shorts. nm.

I'm getting ready to make a boxed cake mix, but I'm out of veggie oil
Can I substitute melted margarine for the oil? I don't have any applesauce. I do have some Miracle Whip, but wasn't sure about it. I don't want to go to the grocery store. I'm at home alone, kids are gone, I'm working and feeling pretty productive, and then BAM the PMS chocolate attack strikes and and me without a Hershey bar in sight! So I thought I would whip up a devil's food cake mix and get back to work.
Can't pick just one . . . sm
Dances with Wolves, original Rocky, Bladerunner, A River Runs Through It, The Way We Were and The Notebook are my faves
I can't pick just one either...
I like lighthearted stuff mostly - How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Lucky Seven, Wedding Date, Wedding Planner, Never Been Kissed.
But, also really liked Contact and U-571 and A Time to Kill (see the Matthew McConaughey pattern emerging?) And Dead Poets Society is also one of my favorites (I cry at the end every time - My Captain, my Captain!  ) Oh, and It's A Wonderful Life - I watch it every Christmas by myself because no one else will watch it with me.
Good question.
They always pick someone..... sm
I would immediately have a discussion with her about this and if she continues to be this way towards you and your daughter I would take it to the principal of the school. My son had a teacher last year that kept him after constantly and he was only in the second grade. I asked her to keep him in at recess instead of after school as I have someone picking him up daily who cannot wait on him and she did not so I took it over her head. There is not a teacher alive that is going to pick me or my child to be "the chosen one" for that year to pick on.
We have a turtle. She is a red-eared slider named...are you ready?? Skurtle. sm
Our son named her. She is about 5 years old now. She started out the size of a silver dollar and has progressively increased in tank size. She started in a 5 gallon tank and is now in a 125 gallon breeder's tank. If I had known then what I know now.....LOL. She has a night and day light, she has her basking light, and she has a UV A&B light since turtles to not manufacture calcium themselves. She will eat those little feeder goldfish out of our hands and will eat her normal turtle stick food from our hands too. We have a TON of her plates or whatever it is they call the things on the shell from when she was just little to now from when she sheds them. It is really interesting to watch her just live the life of a turtle. Eat, sleep, poop, and swim.
Thanks Dillybug! I will have to pick one up!
Anything to make the job easier as I hate to clean the tub!
my dog would try to help me pick strawberries,
eating them off the plant as i picked. But i saw a list in my vet's office about all the foods toxic to dogs/cats. It is generally best just not to feed people food to animals.
Pick your poison
I figure you can do one of two things:
First, buy the Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus books and learn how to talk like a man. You know - short, sweet and to the point or maybe just a couple of grunts. No blow-by-blow descriptions. None of that emotional/feelings garbage. Don't use him as a sounding board for ideas - ask his opinion only if you want him to fix the problem. All that [insert your expletive here] stuff.
Second, and the one I would prefer, is to go out and buy a T-shirt that says *If I'm Talking You Should Be Taking Notes*. Actually, I'd get several in various colors, one for every day of the week.
And I wonder why I'm not married! (she grins)
Sisters . . can't pick em
As the oldest of 10, 2 brothers, one passed on quite young, and 6 sisters, it's bittersweet. Sometimes I think I am the odd one as I don't think like my sisters, and therein lies the problem. Our parents died young. Three of us married sisters took in two younger ones each, and did a relatively good job, not great, but they were loved, cared for, included in everything, and I truly enjoyed and relished their company. Now we are all adult women, and I hardly see them because they are too weird. I have always praised them, and have always been proud of them. They all educated themselves, have masters and bachelor degrees in the medical field. What they have in education they lack in common sense or the ability to gain insight. It amazes me and floors me that they hate my mother's family. My sisters target them for neglect and abandonment, when in reality we had lousy, abusive parents who did not take care of themselves, which is in part why they died so young. My sisters focus their hurt on our mother's family. My sisters are narcissistic, antisocial, and completely paranoid of me because I do get along with my mother's family. My sisters do not include me in any of the holiday functions. Oh well, I say, I am the lucky one because I can be objective, look at painful situations, hold no one accountable for my lot in life, gain insight and grow from my past, and love being around people and socializing. What hurts me is that I have finally figured out why they are so distant with me - pretty much without saying it clearly, this summer, the sister I was the closed to, had a talk with me and pretty much feels that it would have been better if they had been adopted out!! Unbelievable. That is so easy to say because it did not happen that way. Now, I think the only sad part is that they all have such beautiful children, and what a loss that they do not allow me to have a relationship with them. I would love to have a relationship with my nieces and nephews, take them out, have them over for sleep overs, and cookie baking. Life is so funny sometimes. In spite of it all, I think that I am the one truly blessed and pretty lucky.
HMR is better - and you can pick and choose
My mother got NutriSystem and most of the meals are unpalatable and I can eat about anything (some were okay). HMR is actually good. Difference is breakfast consists of shakes/cereal.
How do we pick a charity
I am wondering how to we pick a charity. Is there a list somewhere or do I have to find the local website? I would love to donate to animal shelters in my community, but not sure how to select it so funds would go to them.
4+ for me. Everyone has time to pick up a bit! nm..

He helped me pick it out!
I tried it on in front of him, too.
Here's a couple for you -- you pick!
1) I was on the phone with my boyfriend sitting on a no-back barstool. I was rocking back and forth against the wall when the barstool went out from under me. It not only went under me, the leg came back to jam me up the rectum. Of course I dropped the phone and immediately started yelling, IT HURTS, IT HURTS!! My boyfriend stayed on the phone all that time and my mom had to pick it up and tell him I'd have to call him back later I just gave myself an impromptu colonoscopy. Talk about red!! My butt hurt for like a week. I couldn't even poop for 2 days after that.
2) My boyfriend (now husband) and I were making out in an orchard one night. Afterwards, he took me home and the next morning I awoke to find my entire backside covered with poison ivy. I also noticed I was missing about $60 I had shoved into my pockets the night before. I immediately called my boyfriend and explained that it must have fallen out of my pocket in the orchard. Since $60 was a lot of money to me then (now it barely fills up my tank), I asked him to go back and look for it. Lucky for me he found it and I used it to buy some Calamine lotion. Man, did my butt itch for a week. We still laugh about this one. 
He would be my pick, but both very talented. NM
