Now I know who I'm dealing with
It's terrible that responsibility for a decision like a procedure on an infant would be placed in your hands. Terrible.
Dealing with it on the opposite end...sm
My middle daughter is dealing with weight issues on the skinny end of this issue. Kids are just as cruel when the child is extremely small and skinny. My daughter is going to be 10 in September and weighs in at 45 lbs. She is also very short for her age. She was a premie baby and has just never caught up with her age group. We are trying to add weight to her without stuffing her full of junk. I suggest talking to your pediatrician. They should be able to help you with guidelines and safe ways to encourage healthy eating and weight loss. It just seems kids find anything to pick on...but weight is a big issue even at 10. My daughters best friend is overweight, so the two of them together make quite a pair! They are able to relate to the same hurt they feel when being made fun of, even though one is skinny and one is overweight.
would love to see you dealing with
teenagers. Write a book already! or better yet, let me know the title of the film.
The advice below is not dealing with the issue at
hand - these people popping into your lives uninvited. I can relate - bunch of games designed just to torture you and your kids. I would totally go for the jugular to end this once and for all. The hutzpah of these people to sit in front of you and not talk to you at YOUR kids' Christmas play! Good Lord. I would go to a lawyer, any lawyer, and pay $100 or $200 bucks for a cease-and-desist letter, stating that they are NOT to attend YOUR kids' functions as they are not invited, etc., and are causing irreparable harm to YOUR kids. There will be those who chime in that this is a free world, etc., but its NOT a free world for grandparents to screw with your kids' minds. YOU are the parents and are in charge of your kids' welfare. Its a school, and its PRIVATE in that regard. Any old bum off the street cannot attend when it is AGAINST the wishes of the parents of the children in the play. As Dr. Phil would say, take your power back. Put YOUR foot down as their mom and draw the line forever. Your kids and your husband need you at this point. Go for it. I did years ago, and have never regretted one day WITHOUT my sick inlaws. My kids are in their teens now, and just last night were sitting around talking about the sick games that their grandparents used to play, and how happy they were that we put an end to it. Go for it! Let this be the LAST CHRISTMAS, or last day, ruined by these creeps. And I love the analogy someone gave below - your kids are nothing but Christmas turkeys for them to play with - do NOT fall for the tales of woe and love. Baloney!
Honestly I think I am dealing with both issues with him (sm)
I think he has a girlfriend and a drinking problem
wait, we could be dealing with an islamic hubby
 different strokes for different folks, eh? like Muslim husbands and that culture and other cultures that think differently than most Americans do...
My own (ancestral) culture, i.e., how I was raised, insists on 2.8 kids - too bad for most of the family that I was (and still am) such a rebellious renegade...that the sound of the *different drummer* just ALWAYS spoke to me since teenage years louder than other things, and I heard and I listened, and I still do decades and decades later....(thank goodness for this!!).
Ya'll have a GREAT weekend!
Open for suggestions on dealing with a defiant child...sm
Our 3rd grader has been really giving us a hard time this school year with not behaving at home and at school. Some of the defiance is things she's picking up from other kids at school, i.e. talking back, but she's getting into trouble at school more often for not following instructions. So far talking to her, giving her restrictions and setting goals isn't helping turn this around.
So.... for you parents who have dealt with this, what things did you try to get your kid to "get it" on how to behave appropriately?
Had mine at 29. It was a piece of cake. (sm)
Had the surgery at 7:30 AM. Home by 12 PM. Doing laundry by 12:30. No pain. No complications whatsoever. 43 now and no menstrual comps.
I had a tubal/ piece of cake sm
My husband is a big baby. I was working full time at an insurance company. I had my surgery the day after Thanksgiving. I was home by 10 AM feeding the baby (not my husband) in the high chair because my husband had to run to the store for stuff we needed. Not a big deal. Didn't hurt, woke up from anesthesia quickly.
They say that, but all of us as kids licked the bowl/spoon/beaters from cake
mixes and no one I know ever got sick.
and how can it really be compared...
There is no objective basis for rating sex that one is not having, so a child that is circumcised and birth and a child who is uncircumcised cannot possibly compare whether or not the experience is "enhanced" or not. Should a man be circumcised at an adult age, it is possible that he just believes it is not as good, just like the placebo effect in drug trials. Also, maybe it is better for it not to be as good for the man. He will last longer that way. At any rate, I don't believe it is child abuse any more than I believe that calves should be anesthetized for castration. The anesthesia risks far outweight the benefits and I know that when my son was circumcised, he was not even crying when they brought him back 10 minutes later. It couldn't have been that bad.
of course! but compared to my 1/2 bunions, to me they are pretty LOL nm

It's still pretty cheap compared to other sm
countries! Look at the price of diesel and fuel - that impacts the USPS as much as it does all of us.
It's only a penny.
Love Verizon compared to the others.
Had T-Mobile in the past and my sister has Sprint. Definitely like Verizon the best. Good service. Doesn't seem to drop calls as much (still does every once in a while, but not often). I live in a rural area and can get service in places other people can't and that T-Mobile wouldn't work in.
I used to not like Paula, but compared to Cara,
I love Paula. I hope they get rid of that new judge before the next season... Ugh.
Graphic compared to the stuff we type every day??
NOT!
Is it possible you've become more lactose-intolerant over the years? You could always give some of those OTC products a try; the names escape me right now. I developed a (thankfully short) bout of lactose intolerance once after a bad case of the stomach flu....
Other than that, just getting up and moving around a little more often might help.
And depending on whether the gas is upper or lower... when I have upper gas and indigestion, my favorite remedy is to sip ginger allergy and pace the floor. Those measures seem to help me burp which then make me feel better.
Good luck and I hope YOU feel better!
improved greatly in 2007 compared to 1990s...
it's not glass anymore - it's plates that are not ice cold and they don't squeeze as badly as they did back in the earlier days. Takes a few seconds only and 4 views. Piece of cake....also have been getting them nearly yearly for 15+ years......
I guess Walter is pretty passive compared to your guy! Gets you going though, doesn't it? nm
My dog just ate a piece of...
Broccoli!!!!! My last dog wouldn't eat that. She likes things like bananas too. Does your dog eat funny stuff?
Then go to her and tell her, say your piece but be nice - sm
about it. She will no doubt get defensive, so unless you want a permanent rift you (unfornately) have to be careful in how you phrase your complaint of her being totally nasty, rude and tactless herself. Just explain to her that her little digs hurt your feelings and you are only trying to help her out as you care for her, etc. Tell her if she continues to make the cutting comments about her perceived inability to help her out now and then that you will just have to stop helping her and limit your time with her as she is making you feel like dirt and killing your self-esteem. Maybe that will get her to knock it off, if it does not, then just cut her out, no one needs that kind of garbage in their life and let her be bitter and alone and nasty to herself.
I just saw a funny piece on (sm)
"Best of Craigslist."
Somebody advertised that they would pay somebody to come and clean their refrigerator and then described the problem, which was one specific spill that was growing new life forms or something. It was hilarious.
okay, just one more piece of advice
Hey Emily Ayn - I've seen your posts on this board so many times its almost like talking to a friend - okay, an invisble friend because I can't see you, but at least you answer me back :-) Anyway...this is the only piece of advice I would offer you, and a couple of my thoughts. (P.S. - I hope you didn't think I was shouting at you, I didn't mean the no, no, no to come off as shouting, it was more of an Oh my gosh, no). Anyway...if I was facing the same situation, this is what I would do.
I would most defintely get the address and name of the people. I would then take that with the ad to the local police and ask if there is anything illegal that has happened at this address and show them the ad. They should then be able to tell you at least that this couple is not wanted by the law or has done anything that you would need to know about. Everything could be very innocent and legite, but that would be the only way to really be sure.
As for their ages, I would come out and say to them (again if this is me) I would say.
"I noticed your ad asked for my picture, and I have never heard of that before and just wondered why you wanted a picture of me". I'm not sure if asking their ages would mean anything because "weirdo's" (if they are weirdos) come in all ages. If they have any sense at all they will understand your concerns, and if they get offended that would send up a signal. Most defintely though the only thing I would do before hand is check it out with the police to make sure they are not wanted for anything.
By your posts I know you are a smart person and if you've dispatched for 911 you've heard a lot come your way.
Just wish you all the best and hope things work out for you. I understand totally about needing to feel safe. If you do this please let us know how it goes.
Take care, be safe, and as they say on X-Files "Trust No-one". (That's a saying my DH lives by).
Boy you are a piece of work- nm

I would try to find a piece of carpet
somewhere in your house - closet, etc., and have cut out the area and install the other piece - it will stick out like a sore thumb for a while as it is not worn - but eventually will look fine. You might even be able to find a carpet installer to help you with this
painful at first but wedge a piece of cotton
from a cotton ball underneath the corner - sometimes numbing with some topical agent like neosporin plus helps a little. I cut mine too short because walking in tennies aggravate me and this happens. Works pretty well - wedge it under with a tweezer.
Her mother is a piece of trash. So is that biological father.

Try reaching for a stick of gum or a piece of hard candy.
The doctor I work for prescribes Chantix and it has been very successful for many patients.

When puppy does her business where you want her to, reward her with a piece of food treat.
And when she pees in house, use paper towels and then place paper towels (soiled) to the area in the yard where you want her to do her business. Dogs tend to prefer where they smell the odor. Be patient. This dog is young. Confine her to an area where the floor will not be damage (tile or vinyl). Take her out six times away,including first thing in AM, right before bed, after she eats her meals. Pull water up a few hours before bedtime. Do enjoy your new puppy dog.
My friend has you beat... she paid $35,000 for a small piece of land
and a home 30 years ago; she just sold it for $375,000, clear profit; she and her DH paid it off last year and now are reaping the benefits.
It's only a teeny weeny piece of skin, for heaven's sake, get real! nm
nm
Its not a little piece of skin - read up on it. It plays a lot of important functions. Google it.
You just need to look around for some FACTS about the foreskin. It protects the glans, keeps the glans sensitive, plays a role in sexual activity, enhances the sexual experience for men, should I go on......Why don't you just read up on it?
cake
Pitiful union busters. Wal-Mart offers absolutely no respect to their workers, and obviously no screening that covers use of at least understable exchange of language context and grammar...tsk, tsk.
cake
I hope that the purposeful mistakes in my last post were caught, unlike the cake that the poor lady received.
It is "understandable" and "its" with reference to Wal-Mart.
Thanks for the vent.
Carrot cake
If the recipe asked for canned pureeed carrots the canned it should be. I am sure the recipe made allowances for the salt
Wal-mart Cake
Keep in mind this actually really did happen!!!! This is someone who was moving from a claims office.
Okay so this is how I imagine this conversation went:
Walmart Employee: "Hello 'dis Walmart, how can I help you?"
Customer: " I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week."
Walmart Employee: "What you want on the cake?"
Customer: "Best Wishes Suzanne" and underneath that "We will miss you".
Walmart Employee: "Dat all? Okay, Bye."
Cheeseburger cake??
I am having a surprise 40th jimmy buffett theme party for my husband on saturday. Does anyone have any idea how to decorate a cake to make it look like a cheeseburger? what kind of things would i use, i.e, fondant, etc. I have a general idea of yellow/chocolate cake but all I can find online is pictures of a cake but not how to actually construct it.
THanks for your help!
Coffee cake
Has anyone here ever made homemade coffee cake? Would you mind sharing the recipe?
recipe for the cake? nm

Do you have a yellow cake mix?
You could do a pineapple upside down cake. Add about 5 tablespoons melted butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar to the pineapple. Spread on the bottom of a well-greased baking dish, pour the cake batter over it. You could even go crazy and add a dash of rum to the pineapple before you bake it.
dumb ? but would the dry cake sm
mixture recipe work with canned pumpkin pie mix? Love pumpkin, have cans of one-pie and a can of crushed pineapple w/the cake mix. Sounds like it would be very "mush". Just thought I'd ask!
