Read all the above and thanks so much. Now in the midst of trying to get my yard in shape after the grubs set in and do not want to spend an arm and a leg on flooring. Thanks again.

very wise advice about how to go about
It keeps it from looking like a competition or disapproval, and more about the longterm effects of treating a child over-the-top and how they might interpret that as they are "damaged." A+ advice!
She may be able to work her way up job-wise

Its wise to stay away
I had a C-section and had planned to stay at my mom's for a week or so to recuperate. As soon as I got there, I put the baby in the cradle in the living room and started to put some things away in the bedroom. I could hear my step-dad saying "get 'im, get 'im" to his dog....I went out there and he was actually encouraging his schnauzer to mess with the baby! I came real close to braining him with a can of tomatoes over it. I left and refused to bring the baby to their house as long as he was in it. My mom, too, chose the step-dad over her kids. Now he's dead and her relationship with her kids is rocky, and she regrets it.
What a wise looking face.
I'm sorry about your husband's death. You must both miss him very much. 
Wise ol' soul
I really do, especially around this time of year. But, I ws lucky to have him as long as i did.
And, Silver has always been a wise ol' soul. He is a great comfort. But, unfortunately Silver has cancer and is getting really thin. So, I think he will be with my husband before too long.
That picture was taken a few years ago.
I like those words - very very wise
Going to remember that one.
What would you do - survival wise
Thinking about the storm Gustave (sorry, don't know how to spell it or want to open up new window to find correct spelling), but it brings me to another question I wanted to ask. If you knew an impending storm (or some other disaster) was heading your way, and you would be out of power for 30 days (no refrigeration or electricity/gas) and was stuck in your home and could not leave (roads blocked or whatever reason) and you had time to prepare ahead of time. What kinds of foods would you have on hand in your "emergency stash" and what types of things would you eat.
Wow, ya'll are so wise -- thanks
Appreciate any comments/advice. Keep it up! Thanks a lot.
Age wise, I am 10 years
older than DH.
You are wise and a very good person (sm)
Your daughter and granddaughter are very lucky to have you, especially your granddaughter.
Everything you said is true.
The best thing I ever did for my kids after divorce was never to say an unkind word about their father, never put them in the middle, and the parade of frogs was a definite no-no!
Your advice was excellent. You SHOULD write a book!! As many divorces as there are any more, you would think this issue would have more emphasis in some form of media.
Personality wise? I am probably most like Blanche! LOL

your grandmother=wise woman..saying comes from
Woman
was made from the rib of man, she was not created from his head-to top him, nor from his feet-to be stepped upon.
She was made from his side, to be equal to him; from beneath his arm-to be protected by him; near his heart-to be loved by him.
From The Talmud
Wise words, I second the rec. for the above post
Excellent points all.
I think that is a wise choice. So glad
you brought dad into this! It is just too much for one - I know because I was the only one.
Please forgive the double post. Wise NM

You sound like a very wise person and I a glad to that
he did understand. Over-the-top is never good. Not for an adult and certainly not for a child. A gift with meaning and purpose is more cherished than a trunk load of junk and will be remembered, not thrown away.
LOL- she sounds wise beyond her years. She's lucky to have you. nm

A wise 1st grade teacher told us...
"If you won't believe that I was mean to your kids, I won't believe that you had dog food for dinner last night."
Wise words, bright side....
I had a mini-meltdown several months ago when the work pretty much dried up for awhile. My SO was so very supportive and reminded me that no matter what happened, even if we ended up living in a cardboard box, we would have each other and no one could take that away from us.
I'd always been extremely strong and independent before I met him, and would struggle through things alone and silently, always hiding behind the "everything is just fine" facade to everyone I knew.
It's so nice to have someone to love and trust and turn to for support when things get rough.
Knowing that someone is waiting right there to catch you if you start to fall off the edge is something no amount of money can buy.
Hang in there, backwardstypist...Things will work out for you and your DH.
what a wise, insightful and compassionate comment.
I wish you all the best and that you come out as a winner because you deserve it.

I was horrified, what - a year ago? - to watch an episode of Oprah where three teenage girls AND THEIR MOTHERS were guests saying in front of God and the world that the girls engage in oral sex, how common it was, etc.
There was some point in this country when we decided that "shame" was bad (the oxymoronic suggestion being that we should be ashamed of shame!) - and nothing good has come out of this ridiculous 'progressive humanist' idea or its twin - the notion that outcomes should be the same for everyone regardless of their ability or effort.
Let's get the notion of shame back on stage - front and center. There ARE things that humans do that SHOULD make them feel shame and guilt. When we lose our ability to experience guilt, we have...let's see now, what do we have again? Oh yes, now I remember - we have Bernie Madoff and his $50 billion scam, television you can no longer watch with your children, teachers seducing their students, and a whole lot of other very unpleasant consequences.
Your aunt is a wise woman, and she is a strong person
for being a Pastor's wife. For some reason, Pastors seem to be the most difficult to understand about how to be sensitive to people, when it is their job to do so. No offense to pastors and to my husband. But when I loved him best when he delivered pizza and Sunday mornings I still feel put off. And those are the mornings I am probably the most up in arms about this control issue. I dont think that is what the Bible meant either. Thanks for your comment. Your aunt also sounds like she was a great example to women and men alike as the pastor's wife. :)
You know it does not cost too much
to have your hearing checked. That probably would be a good idea for you.
Cost of fence??
Hi. My husband and I are getting ready to buy our first house and would like to know the approximate cost of getting a 6 ft privacy fence. We have absolutely no idea how much something like this costs :) Our new backyard is 85 x 110. I know the cost can vary, but can you please just give us an estimate if we had someone build it and also if we just bought the supplies and did it ourselves? Thanks for any info!
cost of fence
My hubby is a carpenter as is son. They buy their supplies for fencing through Home Depot or Lowe's or any building supply. I would go on line and Google fences, how to build and that should bring up some sites for building a fence, as to what supplies wood versus vinyl. The cost depends on where you live, as some areas are more expensive than others. I know you can buy directions on web sites on line, as I just ordered a design for a pergola my son is going to build for my daughter. You have to measure where your fence will be, then go to a store or on line. There should be someone at Home Depot or Lowe's or lumbar supply place who can help you. Also, having a company install a fence is much more expensive than doing it yourself. I know this well as my husband and son have put up a few fences. Hope this helps.
yeah, but she did not like the $400 cost with those..nm

$20,000 is less than most cars cost
You should have no problem getting a home loan for that amount ANYWHERE. They will probably try to jack up the interest rate because of your bad credit score, but don't let them. Bargain with them and if they won't deal, tell them you'll go to the bank next door. Get them down to 6.5% or less if you can.
Good luck!
$9K??? love to know what they did that cost - sm
that much, holy cow! As for handing the bill to you, that is really odd, I have never heard of that. The bills always go to the insurance company, unless they do not have insurance then I can see it being handed to you as you could give a bogus address, etc, but you can still just not pay the bill. Still $1800 an hour for treatment, crazy. I think the births of my kids were less than that and I was in for 4 days with one and 1.5 with the other. No wonder insurance is so high!
hair cost sm
I was told years ago that the markup is ridiculous by someone who took a beautician course.. I found a good girl, shopped around, could not believe what WALMART (just stopped by to qestion in person) is charging for simple highlights and cut, even the local Regis Salons which also includes Supercuts, etc., are getting a hundred bucks or more. So what I did was establish an agreement with a girl who rents space nearby and she is excellent. She has been charging me $65 for color, cut and blow dry and style. So today I gave her a very generous Christmas tip and she tried to give it back to me. I told her I so appreciated what she does for me all year and she started to cry and gave me a hug. I told her I was aware of what others charged and I knew she gave me a break all year. Everyone won, nobody lost. Shop around, the markup is ridiculous. Corporate wins, not the stylist (much like our profession). Just find someone you can trust and develop a relationship with and give them a little extra once in awhile. I am very glad I did this,I had a great day and I feel wonderful and so does my stylist. It can be done, be an educated consumer. Don't fall for the high prices, what costs them a few bucks turns into literally hundreds when it comes to highlight or color and cut! Shop around.
cost of hair
In defense of the cosmetology profession, I have to add that one never knows how much money and time the big stylists put into their business. My oldest son spends $10,000.00 a month in overhead, salaries, rent, seminars, etc. He stays current on everything, is a certified colorist, etc. They earn every penny they get - I had no idea until he filled me in. By the way, he lives too far away to make it worth my while to go get a haircut every 5 weeks, so I still go to local girl. $12.00 - she is way too cheap. Please don't bash them if you do not know the inside of the business. Anyway, Merry Christmas! Everyone tip your stylist - if it is a man, bake him something - he'll love you forever!!
The cost of Nutrisystem
is fairly reasonable in my eyes. However, I am financially able to stay on it, where I know there are others who cannot. It costs approximately $270.00 a month, and then you still have to buy your veggies, dairy products, and fruits. It is based on the glycemic index, where you eat good carbs. Most of the time I do not have a problem with being really hungry; however, there are times when I am. I am going to be 50 years old and have undergone a partial hysterectomy but I wonder if I still do not have some PMS symptoms and this is when I am the most hungry. I read up on Curvelle and it sounds pretty safe and it appears to work. I read some of the testimonies, etc. I might try it and see how it works. 
The cost of groceries - WOW!!
I nearly had a stroke at the register today. Eggs here in AL are, get this, $3.49 where I am, but you can get 50 cents off by being a store member, which I am. That is still 2.99 a dozen - good grief! Sweet potatoes were $2.51 a pound, outrageous! Normally I do not look a whole lot at prices and just buy what I like, but these prices are even making me look! Gas just went up to $3.35 a gallon here. They are saying $4.00 by summer.
During her interview, it was said it cost...sm
100k total for all the in vitro procedures. I have not heard an answer as to how she paid for all this. Does any one know?
I wish my house had cost that, or
I consider that I got a deal on my house, but it was not that kind of a deal, and I did not buy it at an auction. Although the value of my home has decreased due to the current housing market in my region, it is still valued at more than I paid for it. It was a good investment for me.
I simply worked (a lot) and sacrificed in other areas so I could pay off my house. That was my goal, and I am glad I was able to achieve it.
I do not flip houses. I have friends who do, and I have worked for them and/or with them on some projects. Working with experienced renovators is a great way to learn how to do home repairs and a painless way to figure out what you will be able to do yourself and what to let the experts handle. Of course, it does not hurt to know the experts in question if you ever get in a bind.

How much does it cost you for TV, Internet and Phone
I'm around $190.00 ;-(
No cell phones please...
Oh and who do we have.
Phone: Verizon
Internet: CableVision

You're more concerned about how much it cost

$75 would be a bargain here - mine cost $250! - sm
But it was done in the pet hospital, which sits on some pricey real-estate right in the middle of town. STILL... considering the total bill came to over $5,000 --- you would think they could at least cough up the euthanasia for free.
Anyway, that was a year ago and I'm STILL paying it off.
Were you unaware of cost before she applied?

Except that with what things will cost, on an MT's wages, - sm
we won't be able to afford to buy ANYTHING at the market, even if we could get there.
Meanwhile, the US is working on sending men to Mars while our whole infrastructure is crumbling. Sure hope the economy is better up there.
So correct....*Free* always comes with a cost....
If everyone who wants this fabulous free healthcare would just do a little research they would find out it is not such a great thing. We have several friends in Canada who hate the healthcare system. Canada faces a shortage of docs because they come to the US for better training and the potential for more money and practice here instead. People, do your research, don't believe everything you hear from someone who just wants your vote.
dogs still cost money...
First im sorry about your dog! I adopted both my pups... like someone mentioned below, found them on petfinder.com actually! Now I have been away from them for a few months (they are staying home with family while i moved for a few months) and i am SOOOO lonely. i seriously have crying spells i miss them so much (that sounds so dumb to some people, but they truly are like my kids)...
My headline is just simply put because you said you didnt have a lot of money to get another dog... as you know dogs still cost money, not just the fee to adopt them or buy them (please adopt!).... you obviously know this as you've had one, just wanted to make sure!
Good luck in your search it sounds like you will be a great mommy!
Cost of tooth extraction
How much does a tooth extraction cost? I have no dental insurance so will be paying out of pocket. I am pregnant and since being pregnant this toothache has gotten worse and worse. I am to the point now that I can't take the pain anymore. Also does anyone know if you call a dentist and tell them you are in pain if they will work you in asap? Thanks.....I just never knew that a toothache would be so painful.
wire transfers cost $$
I'd hold off on the wire transfer - they typically charge $25 per transfer for that.
Depending on your bank, they may have an option to add an account that is from an outside institution so you can transfer back and forth. I had an account with Bank of American before they finally horked me off for good, and I was able to add my account with the credit union. It was a $3.00 fee to transfer in between banks, and it took about 3 days, but it's cheaper than a wire transfer (unless your bank offers an option to do those for free.) I was able to set everything up using the online banking system. It took a couple of days for the set up because they have to verify the new account, but it was worth it. Before I dumped them, anyway.
I agree that a gift should come from the heart and cost
shouldn't matter. However, to me, a gift is not what YOU want to buy, it should be what the other person would want to receive (within your budget, of course). Somebody else might not like what I want to buy. 
I think that is doable, but like the others i doubt you will find someone willing with the cost of g
The gas alone will cost her probably that much and when you deduct that from the $15 a trip it would hardly be worth her time unless she was desperate. Maybe any teenagers around that wouldn't mind doing that before/after school? I used to clean and I would not waste my time for $15 a day minus gas prices.
Have to agree. Most people know cost of that school and it is
