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.

Yes..wrong setting
Did you make sure it on the right setting for viewing pictures? I had mine set for some movie thing for a while and thought it was broken.

There's a HUGE difference between *not being an animal lover* and being a PSYCHO.

I think you are setting yourself up for a lawsuit
What gives your son the authority to check on someones records and then to tell someone else? That sounds like a lawsuit just waiting to happen. I think you probably are very na�ve also if you expect your daughter to follow through on what she has said. I would really watch my steps if I were you. It happens all the time. I do not see where you should have any access to medical, jail, and so on records.

Setting up papers we need right now
In our state we have to be incorporated, have agricultural license, etc. so right now waiting for all that to come back but keep none at my home, have fosters willing to keep. I am financing the costs, including the above, plus food and medicine for injections and the like. I only want 1 thing and that is to go get the doggies and/or cats- the others may want to charge a fee "once" they have their license- until then they can rescue but cannot charge a fee. We have rehomed several older doggies as well as puppies and I am a happy girl. Just holding those little babies this morning makes everything all worth while. I will just have to work more hrs, I guess!

I would use it more wisely than setting up unwed facilities
there are so many people as well as animals in this world who are in dire shape without it being due to something they have done. You have children with cancer, people with hardships, say someone's house burns down, animals thrown by the side of the roads. There are endless ways to spend money and I would never spend in a rehab for people who could have, should have chosen a different way for theirself. This applies to drug rehab as well. I would be very liberal with money gotten like this but not for any wrong reasons such as things that people knowingly bring into their lives. Too many good hardship stories out there.

Can anyone help me with info regading setting up a service?

I am at a point in my life/marriage, where I need to start my own service rather than working as an IC. I need info/guidance on getting my own FTP site, whether I need to provide a system for docs to dictate to (handhelds?) etc. If anyone would be willing to help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Teen girls accused of setting kitten on fire (sm)

This article made my stomach roll. Maximum penalty (yeah, right) is 3 years in solitary confinement. Personally, I think they should be publically whipped until they scream and then whipped until they stop screaming...but that's just me.

"A boy and his friend said they saw the smoke and heard the cat shrieking while the girls laughed."

For that small amount, can't you take
xx

Such a minute amount but what I was
saying anyone who has a huge amount on their card really cannot stand to take a chance with not paying on time- I am sure would not have a problem having it written off- they love me because 2nd time I have paid off totally and always on time (not this small amount though) and the last time over 10 thou paid off. I will probably call them anyway.

Would never give this amount sm
withot consulting my spouse. I think it's kind of sneaky on his part, that's a large amount to keep from your wife. I would be fuming and think you have a right to be flaming mad. I don't know about the cheating aspect, she probably found an ear to bend and drives him nuts but he won't admit it. She found herself a Santa and he's probably sorry he did it. See how it goes. Next time he has an appointment, if it were me, I'd hang around the parking lot, but that's me, I'm not sure it's something you would want to do. I certainly would!

Re the amount of effort
OMG - I had two teenagers who were 19 months apart. Yes, it was hard and sometimes I just had to turn my head and pretend that was not my child. The effort and sacrifices are great, especially at prom time and when they start driving. I am glad I had mine young. I think it helped me get through it. I do believe that kids/teenagers are going to get in trouble for something. That's their job and it is a way of life. I just tried to put myself in their place when I was that age (I did much worse things actually). That is also another reason why they could not get by with much. I had done it all and knew what to expect. Even so, no matter what my kids ever did and whether I trusted them or not, I always let them know and told them I loved them more than anything all the time (even if they had hurt me). I gave them my all and taught them to appreciate it. I put them through college and they put themselves through grad school. I was not sure the youngest would even graduate high school. They always knew I loved them with all my heart and I believe most of the time that pays off. One day all that effort and sacrifice will be worth it.

Yes. The formula is you say, "You have X amount for
When she runs out, she does without until her budget allows more entertainment money.

It isn't about the money, though. Her issue is with learning priorities for needs versus wants.

You've waited a little late if she's 22. My boys budgeted their money as mid teens and as young men do great.

Kids usually learn spending habits from parents - by example or by allowance.

a question of amount of effort
If I had to do it over again, yes.

But I am having a hard time seeing where the amount of sacrifices I made is paying off in these "teenage years."

I think the payoff for being a good enough parent just might be raising "good enough" kids who become "good enough" parents, so you don't end up raising your grandkids....(and end up with a second chance to get it right).

Two months is quite a short amount of time....
You need to take your time and keep YOUR options open! You may meet Mr. Right while you're seeing this guy. In two months, you probably don't even know his favorite color yet. Don't rush these things. If he is the one, he will figure it out and not want to see anyone else. Good luck! I hope this works out for you.

Maybe good money for the amount of hours sm
but no enough for what actucally goes into the job.

Smaller total amount of more feedings?
Have you tried feeding him more than 2-3 times a day and just putting a smaller overall amount in the dish? He might think he's actually getting more.

Do you have dirty dishes or excess amount
of trash that needs to be taken out?

We did lose some money, but not a huge amount
We have three different ones that we've been keeping an eye on.

When amount of this for social security people and when?
Do you have a link for this info, pls.

Try Alton Brown's suggestion for the amount of

grounds to use. As he points out, you can always dilute. Here is the article:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/true-brew-recipe/index.html

a small amount of chocolate is 2-3 squares, not more.
Portions sizes are always very small, see below...

The Look of Normal Portion Sizes

1 oz. meat: size of a matchbox
3 oz. meat: size of a deck of cards or bar of soap�the recommended portion for a meal
8 oz. meat: size of a thin paperback book
3 oz. fish: size of a checkbook
1 oz. cheese: size of 4 dice
Medium potato: size of a computer mouse
2 Tbs. peanut butter: size of a ping pong ball
1/2 cup pasta: size of a tennis ball
Average bagel: size of a hockey puck.

great post! - only a difference in amount of melanin

the only difference I see is the amount of melanin in the skin........BEST of luck to you - Enjoy it while you feel it!!!

It's ALL good!!

We didn't even spend half that amount on each of our kids.
Of course, our kids told us about their spoiled rotten friends who all got electric guitars, multiple gaming systems, flat panel TVs for their bedrooms, cell phones, mp3 players, etc. Then the little boy from across the street came over and told me what he got for Christmas, which wasn't much at all. I felt so bad for the little guy. If I had known they didn't have much, I would have bought for his family instead of my 25+ family and friends who don't even need anything. I refuse to buy into it all for my own kids. If they want all the electronics, they can work and save up for it, and then only with my permission. No unlimited Internet, no texting, no M, R or T rated movies and games. I just don't believe children need all that junk. DH and I grew up just fine without it.

i know it is wearing on you but the recommend amount of timeout is 1 minute for each year of age.

Larege amount of horses at packing plants/feed lots
coincidentally happen to be TBs. They are a huge throw-away market. Once they are done racing, unless they are one of the incredibly lucky few to be adopted out to knowledgable homes for other careers or are of breeding quality, they usually don't wind up in too good of a place afterwards. I'm a nobody, and I've had 3 of these throw-aways land in my lap. Yes, there are some responsible owners/breeders who ensure these animals are taken care of for the rest of their days, racing career or not, then there are an awful lot of others who see them as the cash crops they are and nothing more.

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'!

Jumping Banana Skiing Banana Cheering Jumping Guitar

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 MS hasn't seen the Mac
commercial making fun of Vista.

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...

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.

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.
