I'm sorry, I don't, but if she hasn't seen
a rheumatologist, I'd try to get her in with one. I hear the wait around here is a long one. I would definitely get people praying for her.
no he sure hasn't
but that's it
It hasn't too much, except in the 401(k)...
We are debt free but the house, the payment only requires one of DH's paychecks (he gets paid twice a month and then on the off weeks he gets his overtime check) or my paycheck for the month when I can get my lines in, we have never taken out a second mortgage or touched the equity in our home. Our mortgage rate is low to mid 5%, cars paid off, CC paid in full, great credit score and we live below our means. We still take vacations, eat in restaurants, etc. Our circle of friends don't seem to have any problem with this economy, other than investments. We are in our late 40s, early 50s, kids grown and gone, we don't pay for college. DH drives 66 miles round trip to work, but has an economical commuter care. Our SUV gets about 20 to 24 mpg, which compares to some newer ones out there.
My DH has worked for the same company for 25 years, however, layoffs are coming, and he is putting out his resume just in case. He will get a nice severance package, etc, if it happens, but we are planning in advance just in case. House is up for sale, a few very interested people, and if it sells we will make enough profit to buy a house free and clear.
We have always lived below our wage and I think that has helped us tremendously. Do we want new cars, TVs, etc, sure, but why bother, we don't want the payments that come with them. We are happy with what we have, don't have a lot of the gimmes or wantitis that has a lot of Americans in debt up to their eyballs with no way out.
Mine hasn't, but I went and got a
IUD (5-year Mirena, not copper) put in because I, like you, did not want to make that decision to never have kids again even though I am happy with the 2 I have.
The doctor and information they give you says that the IUD is as effective as getting your tubes tied. I have had no side effects and really almost don't even have a period now. If he decides against getting one, I would really suggest looking into something like this. It only cost me my co-pay of $20 to have it put in too.
If it hasn't faded yet, it probably won't but
the shades are usually based on your natural shade, not what color it is at the time.
The dark blonde should be fine, but just make sure to keep checking it because the longer you leave it in the lighter it will get. If your gray is already covered then you can ignore the extra time you are supposed to leave it on for that. Hope this helps!
P.S. For anyone who hasn't seen him perform sm
Check it out.
I know, she hasn't been on here in about a month or so
Hope she's okay.
It hasn't been long
No, I gained the weight during the time I was in pain and my uterus was swelling out of control (hormones), so most of the 3rd year post ablation. I had a lap supracervical hysterectomy with left oophorectomy (ruptured large complex cyst) on a Monday- up shopping in Walmart on Wednesday, taking care of my kid at home, too.
Since the surgery (which was only a few months ago), I have been able to change my diet and have lost 1 dress size, but haven't added exercise. If I did that, I know I could get the rest of the weight off. I'm moving next month to a place with walking trails built into the community and I hope to take advantage of that.
I do honestly believe the ablation accelerated my hormones, but like I said, everything about my body is extreme, so I'm the 1 patient in a million you hear about. When my doc first offered me the ablation, she told me that in my case, I would end up needing the hysterectomy anyway, but because I was so young the ablation would buy some time. She even said it probably would only give me 3 years before needing the hysterectomy, and her timing was exactly right.
Oh, and I have not had a need for HRT although I do have 3 hairs on my chin now (groin).
If this hasn't be mentioned before (sm)
Chances are the school has a policy regarding this. If not, the child/parent may have some recourse.
Generally school policies supercede general law and rights, i.e. search and seizure regarding lockers (they can go in them as they please).
I'm thinking if they imposed such a stiff penalty, they can back it up lawfully. It really matters not if we think it is right or wrong. If it's school policy (approved by the school board) and stated in the handbook every student gets at the beginning of the semester, then that's the bottom line.
Actually I do this already :( hasn't worked (nm)

Neither do I, but it hasn't stopped me ;)

If you mean Britney Spears, who hasn't? lol
Sorry, I just saw the most recent article and pictures of her. My oh my.
I don't know. My husband hasn't told me yet. nm

Exactly - why hasn't Richard aged?
Or did they think showing him with longer hair when Ben was young would make him look young, too? Well, it didn't. He looks exactly the same. And does he wear eyeliner?? (Richard)
Ben is definitely twisted. I am sure Juliet is aware of his history and that is why she does not like him and shows no loyalty to him, other than just enough to keep him thinking she is still on his side. I don't know why she and Jack had to keep that secret from the rest of the group, though. If they had just said, hey, Ben is a psychopathic megalomaniac and he would kill Juliet in a hot minute if he thought she had turned on him, so she's playing along until we can take care of him, well, I think the group would have supported them. Now there are all kinds of hurt feelings and jealousy and divided loyalties. But I guess that's the point - drama, drama, drama.
And what kind of hold does Ben have over Richard and the others? It sounds like he is as afraid of Jacob as everybody else.
This just occurred to me - a lot of Polynesian islanders believe there is a god in volcanoes that makes the lava spew out when he is angry. What if there really is one? Named Jacob, maybe?
Just a WAG. 
Time to see the vet, especially if she hasn't had initial

I don't know. My husband hasn't told me yet.

Book-in-bag still hasn't moved.
Except now it has a drillbit sitting on top of it for some reason....
She needs to apply for scholarships if she hasn't already.
My daughter did that and with the multiple scholarships that she got it covers nearly all of her cost and I pay the difference.
Mine's almost 47, hasn't changed. nm

He hasn't hit my child in 8 years, because (sm)
he knows I would turn him in. Has not hit me in 3 for the same reason. My pastor is giving me some resources and contact people to help me get out, not encouraging me to stay by any means. I don't go to that kind of church.
It hasn't effected by routine....sm
Not like a do a lot of beauty routine anyway seeing as how I work at home, but when I do put on makeup and stuff I haven't changed anything.
Why hasn't that hospital adopted the *Time Out*
The entire surgical team is involved in the *Time Out* and *Pause for the Cause* (called different things in different states). All involved in the surgery standing in the OR at that moment must be in agreement on confirming the correct patient, correct procedure, correct site of procedure, correct position of the patient, etc.
I went in for surgery and they asked me multiple times to repeat my name and the procedure I was coming in for as I went through multiple rooms on the gurney.
That is really scary that these types of errors are still going on.
Obviously, that is a hospital I wouldn't even take my dog to.
He hasn't lost a thing! Awesome performance!
I've always loved Prince and was not disappointed by his performance at the Super Bowl. Best halftime show I've seen in a long time (blew out Janet Jackson AND no wardrobe malfunctions!)
Hayseed, it hasn't changed my mind about little dogs
At the moment I am considering a one-year-old Papillon/Pomeranian mix that someone is giving away because she has a toddler and two dogs and lives in an apartment. It will be about a month or so before I will even begin the process, because we have to get my son settled at his new college first.
What Fox's health problems have done is made me aware of what to look for in a small dog, and what to have a veterinarian check for before I choose another dog. Fox was so stoic - he almost never complained, despite all the surgeries and pain he went through. I don't want to see another dog go through that kind of pain. It just breaks your heart.
If a person hasn't had a period in 13 years, doesn't that

Happens a lot apparently
One time I bought a Coleman camp stove at Wal-Mart. Got to the camp site and went to set up my "kitchen area" and opened the box and SOMEONE'S OLD CAMP STOVE -- still with grease in it. I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO mad.
When I got home I took it back to the store and asked to speak to the manager, explained the situation and they took it back.
I hope they believe you. It is a shame to have to live in a world with people who not only want to screw Wal-Mart but also their fellow consumers :(
Apparently so
I send my niece a birthday card with money in it every year. I always have to ask my brother if she received it or not. She doesn't even come to the phone and thank me for it, and he doesn't ask her to. That's why for a couple of years I quit sending it....but I figured hey, they can be rude but I'm not going to.
When my son graduated high school, he verbally thanked the people who were here who gave him gifts and/or money, and he either hand wrote (yes, I made him) or emailed distant relatives to thank them.
Oh, by the way - my brother hasn't sent my son a birthday present or card since he was about five years old. I love my brother dearly, but sometimes I just want to smack him.
Apparently not.
Looks like mod fixed it anyway:) Unbelievable that they have that much time on their hands....must be really boring over there:)
Though I am not apparently old enough
to be "older than dirt" I do remember quite a few of the things you mentioned.
Mostly because I grew up in a poor family, and because my grandparents raised me. Many of the things mentioned, they still had and used when I was little.
They lived in a very rural area, and believe it or not they still had a "party line" until the 80s!
My grandparents kept a lot of things even as they became obsolete. I think it was a great history lesson for me.
I remember by grandpa told me he bought a ཾ Chevy Impala brand new from the factory for $6000. That was the biggest amount he ever had paid for anything. He bought it that way of course because it was cheaper. It was even more discounted because back then you could buy a car without seatbelts installed. They were still in the box they came in and in the trunk of that car when he gave it to my uncle in 1989. The car was still in mint condition.
I remember when my brother turned 13 he got an 8-track tape player for his birthday. We thought that was state of the art. Back then I guess it was.
I still prefer a lot of old things. Did you notice that people just don't fix things anymore? We live in a disposable society nowadays and people act accordingly.
Apparently!
I'm from SE Pennsylvania about 50 MI W of Philly. I didn't think I had an accent at all, but on a trip to Alaska TWO different strangers were able to tell where I was from. One girl in Alaska said I sounded like her father who, as it turns out, lived in a town only 3-4 miles from where I was brought up. Another woman recognized it from living in another town only about 10 miles away.
And I don't sound like Philly, really! (At least I didn't think I did!) YO! ADRIAN!
well I don't have snow, but apparently from the looks of it-
not much grass. This time of the year it is easy to tell that I have a bumper crop of wild onions and they are a lot higher than the grass that is greening up. I have daffodils, hyacinths and crocus. How long until you see green?
Apparently you are not tired enough of it
As you are still letting them out and expecting a different result. You can only truly control YOUR actions. Keep the cats inside.
Well apparently he does more than just dancin'!

LOL
In charge of nothing, apparently.
That kind of power is too much for most people.
Statements from ones who know apparently not much about
the south. Her comment I do not consider a political one. She stated how we in the south have some sort of culture where dogfighting just goes hand and hand with being from the deep south. Where she ever got this idea- she is not from here and apparently has not been here much to have made such a statement. She tried to retract her statement about Vick but to me that was not the problem- if she wants to condone someone who would treat animals like that- her business- but we in the deep south really offended by people like Vick and her also.
Not taking up for her, but apparently being
mentally challenged, to her it was like when you see someone you know and popping them on the shoulder to say hi. Granted, she actually hit instead of a pop, but take into consideration her mental condition. She was not meaning to hurt you and I am glad it was only a bruise and nothing more serious. Hopefully, mgmt knew her and her family and will get in touch with them.
apparently, you are not the problemo

Apparently you did not read all of her posts
either.
Missed a lot of the discussion apparently - sm
What I don't understand is where you get that all unwed mothers are drug addicts or alcoholics.
That is not true at all. Sure, it happens to some but for you to lump unwed mothers into that category is terrible.
You don't know my personal circumstances. I don't know yours.
I'm just saying that I would like to help others that are in the same situation I was in way back when. Hopefully I would be able to help them so they don't have the struggles that I had.
Thankfully, my child and I were never homeless but I worked my tail off to make sure that didn't happen. I sometimes worked 2-3 jobs.
I also worked my way through school. I didn't get hand outs, didn't expect them either but it really would have been wonderful if someone was there to guide me to the things that I needed to do. Maybe it wouldn't have taken me so long to get to where I needed to be.
Absolutely nothing is free in this world and that would not be the point.
However, this is a dream we are talking about right? This isn't about socioeconomic dysfunction. It's about someone wanting to help someone else.
Your dress code is not being followed apparently,
because you yourself state your neice wore shorts too short and your son had to change his shirt. If your school had uniforms, these would not happen. Any disruption, such as having to pull this child or that child out for breaking the dress code or other things disrupts your educational system, understand?
It's apparently one of *those* emails - it's not true...

I check everything out on Snopes :)
yep - apparently - and he's on many talk shows..sm
This dude spews on certain talk shows and certainly on his blog and I just don't like him and then he never shuts up either........*lol*
Apparently she's never been to Newport News, VA!!
I cracked up laughing when I read what Whoopie said about the so-called deep south! I just moved back to the midwest after living in Virginia Beach, VA, for four years. Newport News is right next to VA Beach and they are definitely NOT the deep south or even really the south for that matter. There's a lot of crime there and poor folks, but it's quite a large city and not country unless you go WAY out of the city. There are actually a LOT of New Yorkers that live there and a TON of military people.
Apparently so many confused on this issue!!
His aunt, who died, knew him by this name. His brother does not respect his new name and has been asked to call him this PRIOR TO ANY FUNERAL. Friend apparently does not think silly after having asked before to be called that - numerous times, not just now. Most women when they marry have a name change- would most of them want to go by their old names? Most, underline that- so it is not taken out of text, would want to have their new name. Why is it different for a man?? His family comes around his new stepdaughter and son-in-law and calls him by his old name which they stepdauhter and SIL DO not know him by. Those are his wishes and here in America, I think most of us want our wishes to be observed. Oh about who cares- he does.
Apparently downies are plentiful
this year - have had two different bird feeding stores tell me that. I had 2 brown creepers! Only once - but quite a sighting along with my now pair of red breasted nuthatches - one of which stayed about a foot away and watched when I filled up a feeder. I think I may have had a hairy once - he looked a little larger than my downies but he flew just as I realized he might be different.
Apparently they are setting a certain amount you can use and if you go beyond that they can
either disconnect you for a year or charge you for the extra that you use. This is Comcast. I expect all the internet companies will follow suit so many are saying the internet as we know it is now going to change and become more expensive to use and we will only be allowed a base amount of usage for our flat fee we pay and beyond that we may have to pay extra for however much more we use in increments. Time will tell what happens I guess. What can you do.
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.
I enjoyed that. Apparently my brain is
26! That's 14 years younger than the rest of me! LOL
I was answering MTRobin and apparently
you did not read my answer well. I said I did not have to use my credit card. I am not broke. What do you not understand about I could have used the CDs if I had wanted?? I have 401K and 2 others. I spend because I can. I have money in the bank. I can pay my accts on a month to month basis and ahead. I have no companies call me dunning me for payments. I paid an additional $15,000.00 more on my home last year on the principal to get the payments down. I would like to continue working but I am not having to work. I work now because I love my job. My husband is teamster and I can be a happy homemaker if I want. Years ago I struggled to support a family but I do not have to do that now. Just because others are hurting does not mean everyone here. I use my CC because easier than me going and cashing in the CDs and having several thousands buried in my back yard. I will have the CC paid down/off, have my 3 vacations planned for this year already and do perfectly alright if God lets me live and thrive as I have been. I have written this in as plain English as I can. Off this subject now.
I have read your responses and apparently
we transcriptionists have really become stuffy in our profession. I thought being anonymous we could tell others things about our own selves and had no idea it would cause such ruffled feathers. As to the person who talked about my eating bread and milk, no have not lost my teeth and I think I said had done this all my life. Sorry others did not find this different but back to the grudge of your everyday life. Just forget it, alright.
