I would not send son back.

I would send it back - word does have it
In MS Word this is how I get my line count to submit on my invoice....
At the top screen click on tools, then click on Word count. I use the line that is characters (with spaces) and divide by 65. Have used this method for 5 years and have never had a problem.
Update - has agreed to send him back to school
Thanks everyone for all your advice. I prayed about it (and prayed that I would say the right things and not the wrong ones) and then I called my ex, who after discussing it for a couple hours, agreed to send him back to school with a note that he was not to go in the locker room unless the school has sanitzed it recently. He also agreed to take the child to his doctor for a checkup and to make sure his immunizations are current, and to see if the doctor had any input regarding anything else that should be done. Hopefully he will do as promised.
I agree, I would send just send a card....
maybe a mass card if they are Catholic.
To Kathy - Canada
My husband and I have discussed Canada a few times. There are sick people in this world. Far too many. If they had the names of AIDS patients, I imagine they would be protesting at their funerals, as well. Why not protest where it counts instead of where it only hurts?
what makes you think we would be the same as Canada
right?
Does anyone here get their prescriptions from Canada? please sm
My husband has epilepsy and is on Lamictal. It costs us about $130.00 a month to get the prescription (would be @ $750.00/month without insurance). He went to his neurologist yesterday and he told my husband that we could always get it from Canada but we aren't sure how to do this. The neurologist wants to keep him on brand-name only. Any suggestions? Thanks! :)
scammer says he's in Canada
btw, my mom isn't a scammer by taking the money he offered to pay for her truck repairs. She is just a little old down to earth lady and truly thinks this guy is just kind and helping her out of a hard situation. But i am wondering if he is one of these ones who is spending money on her to make money for himself eventually. She has a small parcel of land but we don't know what his intentions are, and her land certainly is not worth very much at all. We have gotten no where with our other family members. They all think it is quite harmless....Well mom is going to get a broken heart if he continues to play with her heart strings and she eventually finds out he is a scammer. We hope she will find out but we think that needs to happen soon so she can just get on with her life. She desperately needs it! Right now she just lives and breathes for him and won't listen to anyone say any negative thing about him, and we can't talk to him to tell him how we feel because he will tell mom and that will alienate us, her children, away from her that much more. He will tell her what we are trying to do. If anyone has any ideas as to how to help, please please share them with me. Thanks so very much for any advice and help.
Hopefully going to Rocky Mts in Canada and wondering
if anyone has used a travel agency called Caravan? I have gone with vacations to go in the past but saw the listing for Caravan and it has interested me. Anyone with other places that have tours they have used? All ears here.
anyone ordered prescriptions from Canada?
I'm on Benicar, Restasis eye drops, and Celebrex and found out the group insurance offered by my new company has $5000 deductible and doesn't cover drugs. I bought BCBS on my own and there is an extreme limit on brand name drugs. I'm thinking about ordering from Canada but wondered if anyone else has done that. They advertise 180 Celebrex for $97 and BCBS will charge $180 for only 30.
seal hunt started in Canada :(
If you want to help stop this torture please boycott Canadian seafood and go to the Humane Society website to send a letter to the Canadian PM. Thanks.
That would be Paul and Carla Bernardo up in Canada...
And, yep, they stalked, tortured and killed (while videotaping) their victims. Carla's now a free woman who just had a baby, as scary as that thought may be.
Be careful, Emily Ayn!!!
Check the wait times in Canada for MRIs, etc, and see...
how bad universal healthcare really is. Believe me, nothing is free...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
why can people immigrate to the US if they don't yet speak the language? Canada you have to speak
We briefly looked at emigrating to Canada. They have a point system for admission. You must know at least one and preferably two of their national languages to be admitted (English and French). You also must be young, healthy, and either independently wealthy, or educated and highly skilled in high-income professions. You cannot have a family member with a chronic illness, even if they are not coming with you, because you might send your income home to help them rather than spending it in the Canadian economy. Every child or dependent you have is measured against your wage earning power and if it looks like your family might tax the social system too much, you are turned down. This all makes perfect sense even though it may seem unfair (we looked at it before and decided not to go due to their arms laws. Now they wouldn't take us anyway because I have been diagnosed with MS since then).
This is very, very different from the US who it seems will take anyone and everyone.
I heard about a US chicken processing factory that was working with Welfare to put people to work because their supply of immigrant labor had run short. So, why don't we limit immigration until every American is working who can? And pay them a living wage with healthcare (illegal immigrants are too afraid to ask for these things and so the wage drops and benefits are not provided).
Then they can get right back on their tires and rafts and float on back to Cuba! nm

It used to be that way, but not anymore. sm
In order to maintain a roof over our head and food on the table, etc., I finally put my foot down with my "spender" of a husband. His check (around half as much as mine) is now directly deposited into the checking account that he has no access to period.
If there is money left over after bills are paid and he sees something he absolutely has to have then I buy it.
I know it sounds like I "wear the pants" in the family, but we wouldn't have any pants if I left finances up to him. This man could spend his whole paycheck in a half an hour and just bring home "stuff" because it was "cool." We have been able to buy a house and we haven't had the power or phone shut off in over 5 years.
If I hadn't done this, we'd have been living in a shack with no running water, but you can bet your paycheck that we'd have a big screen TV. 
NOT ANYMORE
The book is also cancelled!
That is great and I am glad. Judith Regan decided not to publish it! Hooray for her!
I won't say anymore...
Didn't mean to almost spoil it for you. I wasn't thinking.
Don't use it anymore, but when I did...
cleaned the thing each and every time. I won't even use a frying pan for making grilled cheese or something without cleaning it out each time. My MIL does that stuff and it grosses me out. :/
She may not want to do IT anymore, but you can
x
I can't get into it anymore...has it changed?..
I just get "picture of the day" and not the live cam I used to see. ???
she's not a girl anymore though
She's 21 and sadly makes her own decisions. She's too addled to know enough to hire someone to watch over her. Coke gives you a feeling of invincibility. Mom's a mess and so is Dad. She was so darn cute in the Parent Trap too.
What is a holiday? I don't know anymore. NM
xx
Not anymore than a ESL dictation does.
.
They're not RNs anymore, so it's more
than just the appearance that's changed.
I only go when I can't see out of my glasses anymore.
Or when I accidentally sit on them and break them.
Actually, Jon said last season he did not want to do it anymore -
Jon clearly said this year that the stay at home dad thing was not for him, that he wanted and needed to go to work, and that he was tired of this life and the show -- but Kate is not and insists "the show must go on"...
there is really no bed rest anymore -
I went home from the hospital 12 hours after my son was born and had no problems whatsoever. I was at Wal-Mart shopping that night because the doctor told me it was good to start walking and just not to overdo it.
I don't remember there being any pain after he was born, just soreness all over really.
If he wins, definitely not watching anymore!
There is no way he even compares to Melinda or Jordin. I was not too happy with Taylor Hicks last year. So if it happens again, I'm done. : )
I think you're right - I did tell them not to play that way anymore (sm)
I told them they could hurt her and that they can't play rough with her like they do with me. I do wish she would understand that they are kids though. They haven't intentionally been mean and if they were, they would be in trouble!
But now doesn’t happen anymore
because I have no further contact with them- this is part of my past life. I wish them well.
Gosh, I did that for years, can't do it anymore nm
x
I'm not even motivated by the lines anymore! (sm)
I have done this work for about 11 years. At first I loved it. I still do love it in a way...I mean I would not mind doing it every once in a while LOL! But I just can't stay focused on it anymore. And I have been having anxiety and panic too and trouble sleeping. I think it is because we don't use our bodies or brains in a normal way and things start malfunctioning. LOL! I don't know! I just know it's making me nuts to keep sitting here all day every day! I got a chance to go with a friend today to walk, have lunch and go shopping. The pure ecstatic feeling I got just at the thought of taking a walk in the daylight and eating lunch out was amazing. That's kind of a problem....it's not that exciting!
okay. Willl not respond anymore. Thanks. Nm

actually changed to satelite and don't get FX anymore
so i will have to wait until it comes out on DVT. I'm going to start a new thread about N/T...you inspired me!
Anyone know why I can't get those little emoticons on my posts anymore?

I am with ya. Having a hard time doing t his anymore.
I could not put a word to it but "fruity" describes it perfectly. My brain is just fried after 26 years. I cannot see myself doing this until I am 65, 14 more years. Holy Cow. No way. Gotta look into something else. Have to wake up my brain. Good luck with the billing job.
I am watching right now so I won't share anymore
but she is drinking this in front of the whole room. I think this is just a mistake with the props department.
nobody plays anything anymore, apparently
Wow, it was like you were reciting a chapter from our life. We've had the hardest time around other parents and their kids. You should have seen the confused look we got the other day when someone asked us if our kids liked Diego, and we said that ours don't really watch TV. It was the politest thing to say, because there was the show up on their enormous expensive flat-screen TV, and the animation was so awful, and nothing at all was happening, and the kids were just itching to *do* something instead of being sung at by dead-eyed drawings, but how do you tell people that? ''I might let her watch TV if there were anything on that wasn't a hypnotic half-hour commercial for some crappy toy.'' If you say that, people think *you're* judgmental and weird, no matter how much they look down on you for not having the Latest and Greatest.
What can you do? Here's all I can do: Trust myself, trust my instincts that there's a mistake those people are making. My goal is to raise morally good kids. Make them good, make them smart. Rich, snobbish and overstimulated aren't virtues.
how to handle a pet you do not care for anymore
In October we got a 7-week old cat from a local vet. We loved her, she was a sweet ball of fluff. She is mainly an indoor cat but does like to go out a few times a day. A few weeks back she started eliminating (both) on my down comfortor, which is a PITA to wash!!! I thought it was just the comfortor so I would just put it away every day after i woke up. I thought maybe it was the litter so I have changed the type of litter I used and that seemed to help. But last night she peed on the bed itself, not the comfortor. The mattress is only about 6 months old, i'm very upset about this!!
Consequently to me disciplining her for this, the cat does not like me anymore. She does not allow me to pet her, she will no longer sit in my lap. The only time she is friendly with me is when I am making food in the kitchen and she comes and rubs on my legs because she wants food. The only thing I did was take her and put her outside when she eliminated on the bed. I use a spray bottle to keep her off of the table and now to completely keep her out of my room. She does not eliminate anywhere else in the house but my bed and the litter pan.
Besides this she plays rough. She is always biting and scratching. Maybe it has just been too long since I had a kitten and forgot but do they normally do that? she is not very loving. This makes me sad as I wanted a lazy Garfield type cat LOL. I know it's not fair for me to expect her to act a certain way but I can't help being dissapointed. She is ruining my bed. I have started putting her outside more but my youngest gets sad when I do as he thinks she won't come back and that is a battle.
Anybody had problems like this? I know there is a spray you can buy so they will not eliminate on certain places but won't she just find somewhere else to do it?
who really cares anymore? My SO and I will never get married
marriage is a dying tradition
I used to be afraid of spiders, but not anymore.
When you fight for space in a home, you get over the fear. If they aren't too "fast", I catch them and put them outside. Not afraid of anything else except heights. Can't even get on a step stool.
I was a tomboy growing up and played with all kinds of insects and bugs except spiders. Even brought home a garter snake, bat, and mouse as a house pets. Can't imagine why my mom was so upset.
There is no more home ec in schools anymore,
x
None anymore. No wait. Let me count!
I was so busy working that most of my friends gave up and I can't blame them. My closest dearest friend of 30-some years died 2 years ago. We only kept in touch by phone in the past 5 years prior to her death.
I have 2 internet friends, one the wife of my boy friend (not boyfriend) from elementary school and one who shares genealogy family with me. He was the brother I never had.
Oh, and my husband. We've been best friends for 40 some years.
I would not call her anymore until she called...sm
me. When she called me then I would call her. If she didn't call me then I wouldn't call her unless I needed something.
No worry here - all I ever do anymore is work.
.
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.
send the 2yo to the
I have found the best way to handle it is to refuse to buy my husband any clothes at all. He has to go and buy his own clothes, and live with the look. It is none of my business. I only fill requests for bags of socks.
I always send
I always give a beautifully illustrated children's book, which truthfully people are never impressed initially, but after they cuddle their babies and read to them about 100 times in the middle of the night when they are sick, and eventually teach their kids to read the book back to them, they usually decide to keep it forever.
But receiving blankets are nice also.. :)
I lymphedema, so don't wear mine anymore.
I had a crush injury of my left hand years ago, even before we were married back in 1985. (Smashed it between two canoes as we snagged going around a river bend.) It healed, and I thought everything was good until about four, maybe five years ago. I camp a lot, even in the winter, and I think I did some more damage with some minor frostbite. First the swelling came and went, but now it sticks around. I have to wrap the hand and have compression garments to wear. I can't type with those things on, tho, so I'm really pretty noncompliant!
Anyway... I can't wear rings on my left hand, and I just find they get in the way on my right hand. So, no rings.
I haven't heard anymore about this-maybe they were stopped
They came here to PA to protest a soldier's funeral this winter. The only thing they hadn't planned on was the fact that the town where the funeral was held was so small, there was one main street in and out...and that was blocked by the Harley riders and others, so they didn't get in.
