Use of emergency contact info
You know how when you go to the dentist office, enroll your child in day care, fill out a job application, everyone wants contact information "in case of emergency." Maybe I'm different from everyone else, but I consider an emergency as defined by my falling to the floor clutching my chest while my lips turn blue and I can't talk, or falling down 5 flights of steps, or being hit by a car...you get the idea.
I no longer have a good relationship with my mother (75) because she is getting senile. I can't trust that anything she knows about me won't make the gossip curcuit as the truth or something totally different, plus she wants to die on her own property without anyone else another and be found days later by some unknown stranger who notices her body out in the yard...so I don't visit, either. Last time I visited, her whole face was black and blue because she had passed out and fallen face down on a concrete pad where she stayed until the next day when she was finally able to stand up and go inside, then hide from the world for almost a month...I happened to visit her within a week of it happening. I don't want to be the one who finds her dead on another visit.
The reason this is important is because of a legal situation that I am in totally unrelated to her and I have a gag order on me...and she can't talk to me without taking "no" for an answer when she quizzes me about it, which she will do every single time we talk. So, I've just had to say, have a nice life, love you, let instructions to my sister to call me if anyone needs me.
Now it comes back to those old applications I filled out. My phone number changed and my dentist used my mother's "emergency" contact information to try to reach me, going into great detail the nature of why they were calling. It was just my 6 months cleaning, but I didn't even schedule it because I was moving and changing jobs and couldn't predict if I could keep an appointment 6 months in the future. So my mother calls my ex-husband, my ex-mother-in-law, trying to reach me for this "emergency". My ex-hubby called me.
This is so embarrasing to me. If someone dies, let my sister call me. I don't know what to do or how else to get across to her that she doesn't have the right to interfere in my affairs. The dentist office made the first wrong, and her trying to "save" me was the next one. I'm almost 50 years old and I think I can take care of myself, thank you very much. I let the dentist office have it with both barrels. That was abuse of a reason to call my mother as an "emergency" and they have taken her info out of their system. I have even had to change physicians because my mother and I had the same primary care, and all my visits were relayed to her by the staff..."oh, your daughter looked so good when she was here last week!", which prompts a phone call to my ex-hubby. ARRRGH!! Violation of HIPAA!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this? I'm almost at the point of having a lawyer draft a letter to her. I'm past the point of feeling bad about hurting her feelings as she shows no consideration for mine. 
you are absolutely correct..
What organized religions see as divine revelation and holy books, most deists see as interpretations made by other humans, rather than as authoritative sources.
Thank you for that. You are absolutely correct. I saw him SM
in an interview and he cried when they asked him what he misses most. He said he missed the ability to play the piano more than anything. Some years back they said that Estelle Getty had the same condition.
Absolutely correct!!!...Joe Pesci

you're absolutely correct....very small...
At Bahia Honda....you have to get there at the crack of dawn to get in and get good spots. I live right by Hollywood Beach. Been to Sanibel and you're right about that. Captiva Island is great too!! Went thru St. Augustine but not to the beach. I love Florida!! *S*
I specifically request the same info as you did, but I rarely (and I mean rarely) SM
get a response as to when the item will be shipped. I've probably done about 100 transactions and only once did I not receive the item and had to dispute it.
I'd just keep trying and be very persistent. Maybe you will get a response
The meeting had not started - was at a meeting due to start
there was no one around. I know the moderator on this board takes offense to others pointing out spelling errors to others as well as calling other people names here and you will be banned for doing what others are doing with what I posted. The meeting had not started. You do understand now, right?
Well, with that info you just gave it does make it different! (sm)
Now I can see his point..before it just seemed trivial...some people do just change their name to "Sunshine" for no obvious reason.
absolutely classless! you make the time to
Absolutely, but I shake myself out of it quickly to make it a happy time for my kids and hubby. nm

Thanks I believe she's meeting
with the teacher today and we told her also to speak with her counselor.
No, they will support you in meeting your needs
Some kids just need to nurse longer than others. Sheesh.
meeting the neighbor
One thing I don't see that really will matter especially with these more agressive breeds...are they fixed? If one or both of these are intact males, all bets are off. You do not want to attempt to bring them together if they are intact males because that will change everything.
IMO, you and your neighbor may want your dogs to friends but in all likehood they don't. They are each used to their own territory and if they have not been socialized up to this point, then bringing a strange adult dog into their home will only set them up to fail. In all honesty, your dog is probably going to be happier staying at home without you then going with you to the neighbors.
I was in a meeting that had not started
Not in front of others, she was across from me, 1:1, not on a stage, no others around.
From my notes at the meeting.
in America. Category 6 is 4% or 4 million people dead. We have a stock pile of Tamiflu/Relenza which is about 50 million. I may seem like a lot, but, how many people live in the United States? By the way, the people who are sick get Tamiflu first and then government people and all their families, then second group are doctors, pharmacists, health care workers and their families and so on.

I have an odd request.
THIS POST HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE NEW MT BOARD
GAB BOARD IS FOR NON-MT TOPICS ONLY
PLEASE SEE NEW MT BOARD FOR THREAD
Request it, you just never know...sm
 I have been Freecycling for about a year. It can be fun. Just be prepared to work kind of fast if you have something someone wants (and you want to get rid of). Someone requested a mini trampoline, which I offered to her, and she said she had 8 offers within an hour. Believe me, you will have no trouble getting rid of your unwanteds. As for those 10 Magic Fingers...
I have seen people get married from meeting..nm
Have seen it both ways, have seen marriages bust up over people meeting OTHERS online and I have seen people meet and marry from meeting online but I must say the former (marriages busting up from meeting OTHERS online) far outweighs the latter......been online nearly 13 years now.
I would have a meeting with principal or teacher.
Wow, how inappropriate of that teacher! I would definitely talk to the teacher's higher ups or to the teacher personally. That is unacceptable. Your poor daughter! Could she possibly be switched to another class instead of swimming for now? That gym teacher seriously crossed the line into territory that was none of his/her(?) business and will probably continue to do it to her and others if no one stops him/her(?). I would be very upset if I were you too!
whichever one is lying will be the one to resist the meeting nm

I would have a family meeting with kids and husband.
Your husband should be able to have what he wants and he needs to voice this to his children. It will make it a lot easier for you when the time comes if everyone is on the same page.
You were correcting her in a meeting in front of other people?
You said this was in the course of a meeting, which leads me to believe you were not only correcting her, but doing it in front of other people. OUCH.
People using terms like "learn-ed," "ex-cape" and "axt" make me break out in a nervous rash if I have to listen to them for too long, but I would never correct someone for it.
ESPECIALLY NOT IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE.
Request for Advice
Hi,
First time here. I was reading through your posts and thought I could get some none biased advice on my current situation.
I am married for almost three years now, we dated for 4 years prior to our marriage, 27 years old and no children.
Here is my little excerpt on my situation:
During the end of our first year of marriage my husband’s drinking began to be an issue in our marriage, and has progressively gotten worse. At the worst point he would get drunk and pass out at his friends house, received a DUI, he would lie about his drinking, spent two nights in jail, passed out on the floor of the house and in the bathroom, we would fight constantly and of course his addiction cost a small fortune (not including the DUI fees). We went to counseling for about six months straight and all the while he was resistant. I left for a week in October, and came back under the impression that he was going to stop drinking (at least work on it). Things, supposedly, were getting better. He has gotten “drunk” twice, started going to AA meetings, reading the AA book and is thinking about getting a mentor to help him through this process. Well tonight he told me that since I came back (in October as stated above) he has been stopping at the liquor store every day after work and any chance he could on the weekend.
My first reaction (as I have had in the past) is I have to leave, and for much longer then a week.
My dilemma is that he will be alone and depressed, and I will be the same. I just started at a great firm with many people who have their lives “together”, and may not understand if this results in a divorce. I am 27 and could be divorced by the age of 28, and who would be interested. I am religious, and the terms of divorce is pretty much accepted for adultery. He mentioned that the reason that he told me that he has been lying to me is because he is taking the first step which is being honest, but he had just drank so he was loaded.
Sorry for the length and I am sorry if anything I have written above is offensive to anyone, that was not my intension I just thought I would express my feeling on the matter, and I am also a little confused right now.
Thank you and any advice would be appreciated.
You could just request a diamond solitaire
That's how my husband and I did it. We picked out a nice diamond together, but if your man wants to surprise you you could just tell him what kind of cut you want etc., and he could pick it up himself.
Is that what the prayer request board is for?

It was a prayer request; put it on PR board, please. NM

She can request emergency leave.
My husband is active duty Air Force, so I know a little bit about the military. As far as I know, she can request emergency leave because of the situation with her infant. Also, I do not think they just give military mom's a year off because they had a baby. I know several women that are active duty military that have had children, and they are given the same amount of maternity leave as a civilian.
Anyone have any suggestions for meeting nice fellows more middle aged. I have tried
the dating sites and am not too impressed with those people. It seems like most of them have serious cash flow problems from so many divorces, etc. Not looking to support someone for sure.
We have a Prayer Request board - it belonged there. NM

they always request more to cover what others don't send - plus what their budget won't buy -

A child's prayer request from our kid's choir last night....sm
Matthew, age 6, during our children's choir prayer time last night asked for us to pray for his dad, who was just arrested. When I told him that hopefully his dad would get out of jail soon as I'm sure he missed him, his response was "I don't think so. My dad goes to jail a lot." He wasn't sad when he said this - just said it matter-of-factly. All I could do was tell him that he's not the only child who has a parent in jail and that we'd pray for both of them and his mom.
he didn't bring back Nelli cuz he knew he was wrong for just sending those 2 in the meeting.

i got CT scans in the ER. why the need to wait? assuming they had to wait on orders. does he have a PCP? i'd call the PCP if so and explain the situation and what has transpired and see what he recommends, i.e. jump someones tail or transfer. their should be neurologist on call for this reason. they should make rounds daily whether it is the weekend or not. i'd definitely be there waiting on that neurology consult and fill his ear full and find out what his future plans are if you don't transfer to another facility.
call back and request an appt sooner. Since you are paying for it, they should have no problem

Contact
the attorney general in your area. You should not be responsible for these charges. You are a victim - not the bad guy. Find a new phone company if this one will not work with you to resolve this. Good luck!
I would contact them...
and talk it over. Banks and finance companies will say that the worst thing to do (in most cases) is file bankrupcy right away without talking it over with them first because they do want thier money. The majority of places will try to work with you. Been in those shoes. I consolidated mine, took me a little longer to pay it off but it was easier to pay 1 amount than all 3 and not cringe each time the phone rang. Had one card that said. Okay pay this amount for 3 months with no late fees (virtually nothing)and then pick up from there. I will live to regret that I'm sure but it helped me out at the time. Sometimes you can call and ask to skip a payment. They tack it on the end and charge you but if it helps it helps. You will sometimes find that if you ask a loan company for a "consolidation loan" they will say they don't do those. Instead give the amount for payoff of total bills or darn near it and try to go from there. I think the best thing is to explain your situation to them and ask for options or ideas or at least try to.
Maybe you should contact your vet
and ask if anything unusual happened (not that they would tell you a horror story if it did), but maybe something small happened to trigger it that they would recall.
Aside from that they might have come across this type of thing and know of some ways to sooth the puppy.
Your son doesn't have anything on him that a dog might smell and freak out about, does he?
This will sound corny, but maybe your son could think of something really sad and lie on the floor crying. Maybe the puppy would see his vulnerablility and empathize with him and lose fear.
Probably not but maybe they'd contact them to be on the show! ; )

I would say either try a contact person where the
contact may be someone in the Social Services for your state. Maybe even the Division of Child Welfare. I would look in the phonebook under government agencies. I bet a social worker may be able to help or guide you in the right direction. I knew someone who had a child with cerebral palsy that took the insurance offered from the employer, but was able to get Medicaid for the child as a supplement for things the primary did not cover. I am not sure if this is state-by-state though. Hope this helps. Good luck to you and your daughter as her children do need health insurance.
Maybe you should contact the company...

I would contact you doctor.
.
Definitely contact your doctor sm
You didn't mention where on your back the mole was, but particularly if it was on your upper back near your neck, I would be concerned about the swollen and tender lymph nodes.
Regardless, you need to talk to your doctor. The lymph nodes could even be a completely separate issue, but it is definitely a sign that there is a problem.
Good luck!
it's better for us not to have contact with people like that
stay away from her, don't comment much to family members about it, eventually they'll get used to the way things are now.
Contact your local ACO....
Call your local animal control officer, or if you don't know the contact info for them, the police should. It's their job to calmly address the situation. It's not fair to you to listen to this poor animal all day long. I would also mention that you fear for not only the animals safety, but also your own. I'm sure it is on record anyway from the prior incident but wouldn't hurt to bring it up again. I would definitely not approach the people one-on-one, especially given their past behavior.
I'm sorry you're going through this.
I would contact a hospice...
My grandmother just passed away, and for her last week she was at a local hospice. They were so wonderful and caring there and really helped us all deal with her dying. Even if your mom doesn't go to hospice care (which I highly recommend when she is very close), I would call a hospice and ask them for recommendations for grief counseling. I can't say enough about how wonderful they were, and they really helped my mother deal with the loss of her mother. They also provided morphine so we could rest assured she was not in pain once she wasn't able to communicate any longer. I am sorry that you are losing your mother. I am sure it is difficult at any age.
I would contact everyone on the IEP team (sm)
and let them know you are not being informed as you should be. Also, if they cannot handle it at your school, then he could be transferred to another school (at his current school's expense; they would also have to provide transporation). You do have a lot of rights here, and this is federally mandated, not state. Good luck.
Maybe try limiting contact to
just phone calls. That will let her know that you are cooling off the visitation with her but not make you look ungrateful. If she brings up never seeing the children, I would let her know politely that you thought she didn't care to have them visit since they always seem to "act up" at her house. If DH wants to see her DH, then let him visit him alone. Is there a close neighbor or friend that could keep your girls while you visit your aunt once in a while? I take it she lives nearby if your boss has contact with her. If she asks why you didn't bring the children, again - say that you thought it would be better for her if you didn't bring them anymore since their behavior doesn't meet her standards. She should get the hint pretty quickly.
I definitely agree with you that she should not be pushing her discipline methods on you. You are the parent and only you and DH should have any say in how you choose to discipline your children and whether or not they even need it. I will say from experience that the previous generation seems to think we don't know how to handle our kids. I think a lot of that has to do with the state this country is in, but I don't believe it falls directly on our shoulders. Afterall, our kids weren't even born when things started to go downhill. Maybe it's all the hairbrushes and flyswatters that are causing some of these problems.
It is already from a safe contact
I can open all mail, but where pics should be (and were before hotmail changed the look) are just boxes. It isn't just from one contact, but from all my contacts that I used to receive pics from. Now what? I sent an email to the contact site, but they have not answered me yet.
Contact Ebay again.
It may just be delayed shipping with all the holiday rush. I haven't shipped anything this year but in the past the post office has told me they don't guarantee the same as normal.
