Stores closing..
The stores did not close for Chanukah...my son had to work 6 out of the 8 nights of Chanukah. I would have loved to have him at own each evening for prayers, but he was there after and we still got to enjoy the Holy Days together. Compromise people, compromise! Life is too short for such frustrations.
automotive stores sometimes - hardware stores
whatever is close - advanced auto, napa, whatever. It was rubbing alcohol by the way.
Are you serious? What bride pays for the dresses? LOL

any insurance co that pays preventative???
I am seriously thinking of switching from BC/BS as i'm so aggravated that they don't pay for preventative exams/procedures. You'd think it would be to everyone's advantage to do so. If you know of a major insurance company that i might look into, please let me know. thanks.
Think about who pays for public school.
People in the local district pay school and property taxes, so they pay for their schools. Or, more precisely, they pay for the young people in their district to be educated, since it's not just parents who pay these taxes.
So, no. Students may not freely transfer to other public districts, because their parents or guardians have not paid taxes in other districts.
In our district, we paid the taxes before we had children. We paid the taxes while our children were growing up, even though our children attended Catholic schools and we paid tuition. Now that our children are grown, we continue to pay taxes. I don't mind paying the taxes, because it's part of my civic duty to help to educate ALL the young people in our community.
I hear you on that one, and it DEFINITELY pays to check out the US educated M.D.'s as
well...some of the horror stories I have heard from OR nurses give one pause to check out any MD before ANY SURGICAL PROCEDURE!
My company pays double time, so I work
4 hours spread out through the day on those days, maybe a few in the morning and then a few at the end of the day. There is never a shortage of people wanting to make double time on these days. At the places I have previously worked, we did an every-other-year thing for both these holidays unless people didn't want to work them, and nobody was forced to. If you don't want to work a certain day for religious beliefs, you should state this up front, otherwise ask them their policy and whether or not that is something that would work for you. You always have a choice not to take that position.
Ours isn't due until July, and since DH is self-employed and pays quarterly tax estimates...
the "stimulus" is going toward the tax bill. Ironic, huh?
Oh, and if you want to get mad, listen to this. Our former foster son's parents are Korean citizens. They have green cards and are considered permanent residents of the US, but they live in S. Korea. They travel here twice a year but live and work in S. Korea. They do file US tax returns, but they don't make enough there (or they don't report enough!) to actually pay much in taxes. Yet, they are getting a stimulus payment. Now tell me why that's fair?
That's garbage -
I have never had an accident and never had a ticket. I have been driving since I was about 5 years old, starting out on farm equipment, to help on the family farm.
It's a bunch of bunk in my opinion
Garbage
It sounds like you and I have the same printer! I have had problems with the paper feed since day one. It drives me absolutely nuts.
I don't think it's garbage...
Just like every other platform, it has a few bugs that still need to be worked out but for the most part I like it.
I've been using it for a few months and the only problems I still have are with Java (can't get Pogo games to load for the life of me) and the Rhapsody music service. Everything else turned out to be "administrator" issues and were easily solved. Vista has some pretty cool features too, so it's not all bad.
closing a pool Help!
I just purchased a home with an above ground pool and have no clue as to how to close it for the season. First of all, the water is a yucky green because I didn't add shock (I think?). Is that what I need to do? 
I said closing the bank...
…NM
Closing letters
How about "Kindest" or "Kindest Regards,"?
A coffee pot. No more instant coffee!!! :-) nm

Why are you an audience for this garbage?
How about respect for one's privacy? Or would you be OK with us listening to the worst things you've ever said?
WHY do you people listen to this garbage?
I use the twisties that come in your box of garbage bag.
I tried cable ties, but they don't come apart very easily and I ended up cutting a cable trying to get one off. So I swear by twist ties. Helps to reuse, reduce, recycle. LOL.
Vista is garbage
My husband is in IT and he installed Vista when it first came out. He very quickly uninstalled it. It has so many problems, causes so many problems and he pointed out that there are security issues with Vista. I don't see XP going anywhere as many people who are in positions of powerin companies, like my husband, refuse to use it. I wouldn't bother wasting your money.
don't listen to this garbage
No, no, no. Do not listen to this. Someone is making a play for your guy. Don't doubt it.
How weird, was it closing time? 9:30 pm - sm
or was that morning. Why didn't you ask him why? I certainly would have wanted to know why I was being kicked out. 
Same here - closing on house end of next month
and these ideas are great. I did craft projects for Christmas last year and was a bit overwhelmed because I started to late, so this year I'll need to get started earlier. I love the family tree idea, as well. I may have to borrow that one. Thanks!
stuck garbage disposal
Never mind, we were able to crack the glass and then get it out.
Works for garbage bags too
If you have 2 or more kids who have to take turns taking out the garbage, assign each a garbage color - you can get them in white, yellow, green and blue that I know of. When the blue kid takes out the garbage, s/he puts in the yellow bag, or whoever's turn it is next. Believe me, they don't forget to change the bags.
Credit Score will hardly be touched by closing them
xx
we are closing on a house next month and mortgage
need to come up with some cheap ideas too!! I have several baskets that i have collected over the years and plan on going to the Dollar Tree and getting "girlie" stuff and filling them up for around $5-10 each, depending on size. My family knows this year is going to be hard on us, so that helps!
Closing an account affects your score because
if you carry balances on other cards, by closing an account you instantly increase the percentage of available credit that you are using. An assessement of the percentage of use is a significant element in your credit score.
If you have other cards with high limits and low or no balances, closing an account will have only a small, probably temporary, effect, unless you are closing the account with the longest history. As another poster mentioned, length of credit history is another significant element of your credit score.
If you have high balances on other cards, leaving open an unused account will make those balances a lower percentage of your available credit, which can boost your credit score. However, in that case, paying down the balances will have a much larger positive effect on your score.
Pack them a decent lunch. That is garbage.

Wash your mouth out! Tiffany's is not garbage!
!!
This is common sense, stop posting this garbage!
The only thing worse than chain emails, is people who pass along chain emails!
Wal-Mart does offer health insurance to their workers. Wal-Mart pays part and the employee SM
pays part of the premium. Just like other companies do.
Why does closing a credit card account negatively affect your credit report
Especially when I never use it anyway, and really never wanted it?
With all the bank rearranging going on in the past few months, one of my accounts was tranferred to Bank of America. I was sent new cards and a new agreement, new interest rate etc...
So I called them up and cancelled but before they did, I had to listen to a spiel about how this would negatively affect my credit report.
Huh?? Why is that?
The worst one yet (sm)
DS first grade teacher, teaching them the difference between their, there, and they're. Had them copy sentences off the board, something about daffodils, and it said, "they're little petticoats in the breeze" or something like that. I called her on it, and she was nasty to DS the whole rest of the year (not kidding).
That's not the worst
She told me that she knew I had been trying to have an affair with her husband (yuk and ewww! - oh is that anything like shock and aww. Ha Ha), She said she knew what my game was etc, etc., oh yes...and I should go back to my home state where "my kind" belongs. All the meantime with her finger pointed in my face. She is much larger and stronger than I am and I was too shocked beyond words to comprehend what was happening. She also stood leaning against the door so I had no way out. It was a nightmare. It took me 4 months before I stepped foot in her place again or said a word to her. Slowly we became on good speaking terms. Never did trust her after that. Now we get along okay. I eventually forgave her (she was having her problems), but I wish someone had spoken up on my behalf. I did learn at that time that blood is thicker than marriage (unless you are lucky to have a partner that loves you so much they would do anything to keep you from being hurt). Anyway...I have moved on and don't think about it as often but there are still some times when it is in my mind and it does hurt, but gotta move on.
my worst was 25
Absolute worst was my 25th...my stepmom died from an aortic aneurysm. She had just gone up to change clothes for dinner and we found her dead within 5 minutes. I think dinner stayed in the oven for 3 days afterward and I have never eaten stuffed shells again. I haven't liked birthdays since. As my dad said at the hospital, Happy F-ing Birthday, and he was not one to curse.
But, a better one was for me was 29 as I got a belly button piercing in memory of my cousin and met my DH on that birthday. Now I just try to ignore them, though 40 is rapidly approaching and I find myself feeling stuck in a rut...work to pay the bills and for gas, eat, sleep, and do it all again the next day. I wish I could go back to 21 and do it all over again!!
Worst best man ever?

Worst job..(sm)
Sonic rollerskater girl. I just didn't know how to rollerskate. There were a few accidents...LOL.
Churches are the worst.
I have more people trying to convert me to whatever they are come by my house uninvited than I do people I know. Now I open the door, tell them I'm happy where I am, I'm happy for them that they are happy where they are and that I'm working and can't be disturbed. Then I shut the door. I actually don't go to church anymore. Pretty disgusted with the whole idea really lol.
In your case, I wouldn't let them in. I think they are being extremely rude to you.
Worst one I have ever endured was...sm
At a psychiatric facility - a dictator actually dictated in the bathroom stall while having a bowel movement... actually grunted and laughed into the dictation equipment (hand-held obviously), and then finished his "big job" and then flushed on tape. I complained to the MedRec Dept head, she approached him about it, and we actually referred to him as "the Royal Flush" after that when we got his dictation...Needless to say, we didn't enjoy his transcription or his surprises. He's a big psychiatric research guy here now. Sheesh. ICK indeed. What are they thinking?!!
WHAT?! Some of the worst criminals...
at least money-wise, as in stealing church money and money from little old ladies, are the big time evangelists on TV!! Do you think these people have "lack of God"?? I personally think it's lack of values/morals in this country (and other countries of course) that cause people to commit crimes, and of course lack of conscious! It has absolutely nothing to do with lack of God! I can't count how many times I've seen news reports where people commit a crime and everyone that knew them said what a great person they are and how shocked they were that they committed the crime - plus, a lot of these people go to church and actually believe in God and it still doesn't phase them to commit the crimes. I don't know, maybe it's because they believe in God that makes them think God will save them or forgive them, so it's okay to commit the crimes?? I'm not an atheist, I just live in the same town at Pat Roberts and where that whole network of his is located and I'm sick of these people living like kings with their multi-milliion dollar homes, helicopters, vacation homes, etc., while there are people in our country that are homeless, without insurance, and starving - I'm sorry but I don't think this is the Christian way to behave and I'm sick of people saying that God is the answer to everything! I really don't think this has anything to do with why these people commit crimes.
What's the worst that can happen; you buy a new one?
I have heard people clean them by running them under the shower and letting them dry in the warm outside air. I'm going to try it, I have a backup cheapie to use if it gets ruined and I have to buy a new one.
My worst Thanksgiving
I remember the date well. It was Thanksgiving of 1978. I had made the Thanksgiving meal and had invited friends. We were living in Wisconsin away from family. Well, some friends and I were putting the last minute touches on the meal, when I heard my dog going crazy outside. I opened the door and in she came, smelling horribly of SKUNK! Needless to say no one could eat anything, as the house just "STUNK OF SKUNK".
We did the worst Thanksgivings - how about the best?
My best one was 15 years ago. My daughter was born the night before Thanksgiving and we were ready to go home on Thanksgiving day.
My parents were having dinner at their house and a ton of extended family over who were all excited to see the new baby. We went over there (yes, before I had even gone home yet) for a couple of hours.
My husband's parents were also having a big family gathering at their place, which was closer to our house. They all wanted to see the new baby too so we went over there for a few hours too.
I was exhausted but it was still fun. Mom and baby were discharged from the hospital at 10 a.m. and didn't make it home until around 10 p.m. that night. The other kids were tired so they let mom and baby go right to bed without a fuss and dad went back to his folks for the holiday family poker match.
No one can be a worst cook than me
My husband asks me to stay out of the kitchen as he says, he and I both want to stay healthy! Ok, I do have a previous thingy I just made up, call it Spanish porkchops. How simple is this - I put a family size container of pork chops plus 2 cans of canned tomatos plus 2 large onions all together and cook over medium until the chops are done and tender- oh, I forgot the salt and pepper- but anyway that is something even I can do and I love it but then again I love tomatoes and we eat them all the time.
what is the worst song ever?
This was on our local news this morning.
My first thought was "Help me Rhonda" by the Beach Boys. Seasons of the sun is right up there for me also.
What's your 'worst song ever'?
worst song?
I have always hated "You light up my life". That was so popular years ago they played it constantly. To this day I want scream when I hear it.
worst thing ever huh? (okay almost)
I'm sorry I don't have suggestions because mine was due to my severe sinusitis as well as the prednisone I was on. You would never think that losing your taste would matter... but having to eat food, just to eat it and taste NOTHING... I tell you what, i dont take the small things for granted anymore :) (of course there were things i was happy not to taste and/or smell... nasal spray was one of them, because i knew my senses were back after using that one day and gagging!!!)
hope you get better soon!!
my worst fear right now is that even
if I have cash in my hand, it will be worthless, and might as well use it as TP.
worst = medquist
they suck
That's not the worst part. nm

this is actually the worst, I quote:
'.......Aren't boomer women great? They know how to solve a man's mid-life crisis without even breaking a sweat!'
This is so ridiculing and portraying the woman as cold and materialistic.
That's why we automatically think the worst
Everyone remembers the exceptions, rather than the vast majority whose ailments turn out to be minor.
In any case, there's no point in worrying until you're sure there's something to worry about.
