why do people go door to door to talk about their religion?
arent they settitng themselves up for confrontatoin?
We normally do have the door locked but the garage door was open...
and my husband did ask them to call first and they still didn't listen...they never do...I think they think they don't have to call...
Hang in there and stick with it, be consistent, .just like children.....

Door to door sock salesman
Okay, so yesterday a little old man shows up at my door. Now let me say that I do not live in a neighborhood, really. I live on a major highway so you actually have to drive into my driveway and you can't really get to the next house without getting back in your car and driving there.
So I open the door and there's this little old man there with pairs of socks in large ziplock bags. He says:
"I'm raising money for a cancer operation to get cancer out of my stomach and I want you to buy these two bags of socks."
I say, "I'm sorry, I don't have any cash in the house, but good luck."
"How can you not have any cash in the house?"
"We use credit cards."
"You can't just use credit cards. Doesn't your husband live with you?"
"He's at work. Good luck, have a nice day."
"Well when he gets home he should have cash on him."
"Nope sorry, we're not interested. Have a good day."
I closed the door and he left.
Odd....very odd. But here's where it gets even more odd.
Today he showed up AGAIN. Only this time he didn't come to the door. He sat in his car in my driveway and beeped his horn. My mail lady does this when we have a package so I opened the door to go out, thinking it was her. The dog scooted out and while I was trying to get him back in I realized it was this man again......BEEPING for me to come to his car to sell the socks, I guess. I was so mad that my dog got loose I looked at him and yelled "WHAT DO YOU WANT??? I don't need any socks today!!!" Picked up the dog and went back in the house and slammed the door. He didn't get a word in edgewise. I'm hoping he won't be back.....I was down right RUDE to this man. I never speak to anyone that way. Hopefully he won't be back. Steve is concerned that he showed up a second time and even more concerned that he wanted me to go to his car this time. He wants me to get a plate number if this man comes back.
Do you have temp agencies near you?
no one wanted to hire him. He was a steel mill worker that was laid off when the mill sold to China. I was in 8th grade. I remember he went to a temp agency and they found him quite a few jobs.
Can you call your Dept. of Labor and ask if there are temp agencies or anyone who has posted work there?
God Bless you and good luck...
okay, curious here -- what's the current temp outside
60 degrees inside, freezing fingers. headed for a steaming hot bubble bath, then back to work.
What is the best temp to cook fish at in the oven. nn

Sounds great..Question about baking time/temp..sm
How long do you bake the muffins and at what oven temp? These sound wonderful & so much easier than making pumpkin bread. Thanks!
Might try coconut oil from the health food store. It's solid at room temp., so you can rub it in

A lady I know tried to pull this
kind of scam years ago. Her neighbor turned her in and she never even knew it. Still doesn't as far as we all know.
Her neighbor (friend of mine) called L&I (industrial accident supposedly) and reported that she was lifting, driving, going to the kids soccer games, driving them back and forth, doing yardwork, even waterskiing. She told the insurance that she did not want to be identified because they lived next door so they sent a private investigator to watch her for a few days. That's all it took.
I had a tubal with my second c-section sm
i had a c-section with my second baby and while he was in there i told him to do a tubal. he cut and cauterized my tubes. i haven't had any problems since, that's been almost 6 years ago. when i'm ovulating, i do have some pain on my left. i don't know if that's due to the tubal, but i don't regret getting it done. good luck!
I also had a tubal during a C-section
I healed up OK, but have very painful cramps every month ever since. Other people who have had tubals have told me its a very common experience - nobody mentioned it prior to my decision. I'm talking 10 years of such awful pain I could not work during my monthlies without serious pain killers - worked my way up through every strength of ibuprofen, scrips included, until finally was prescribed a psychotropic drug that turned me into a happy zombie that barely noticed the pain. Finally around the 11th year the pain has slacked off enough I can get by on 2 regular strength ibuprofen every 4 hours, as long as I'm very careful not to get much strenuous exercise during my period - that brings back flareups of mega-pain. I had no warning in advance this was a supposedly common result of a tubal so I wanted to warn you to ask around and talk to as many people as you can that have had tubals and see if debilitating cramps have been their experience. Good luck in whatever you decide.
I also had my tubal after my second C-section
And it was incredibly painful. It took me way longer to recuperate from having both of them done at the same time. After my husband saw how bad it was for me he had second thoughts about me having the tubal. Even months after I still had slight stabs of pain in the area.
Oh - but still wore pull-ups at night - until 5!! (nm)

my brother used to pull that crap. SM
My mother tried everything with my brother. Finally, one day, while the brat was in the middle of one of his fits, my father came in and was shocked at what he saw. My father went outside, got a bucket of water and threw it on my brother right there in the floor of the kitchen. Needless to say, my brother NEVER pulled that crap again.
This is not a specific section of the country
Born in the south, raised and living in the south and always told and taught how to send thank you notes, tried to teach my children, 1 does and 1 does not but they are grown now. I went to wedding in California, no thank you note per se but tacky printed generic note which I wish now I had not taken the time to shop for a gift I thought very nice. Happens everywhere....

I knew of a pit pull rescue that does background...sm
Checks on potential adopters, an will only adopt to women - no men. My hat is off to pit bull rescuers. Must be very tough...

I'm short so I always have to pull my straps double all the way
I get mine at Walmart and Target. but I was thinking maybe if I get a few good bras they would stay. So I went to VS and holy moly...$50 bucks for a bra? I'll stick with my slippin straps!
Ol' Charlie the Tuna was in the fish section.
I used to have a Charlie the Tuna watch when I was a kid, and so when I saw him there I snatched him up!
I still think you're ahead of me, I STILL can't figure out how to get the smileys in my posts!!
Oh, I see now you got it to work! Now you ARE ahead of me!
I agree; that isn't feasable cuz they can't be born at the same minute, even with C-section it

Hey, J, check out today's Parade section in the paper (sm)
It's by Jeff Foxworthy on why "real men" barbecue. Because of the danger - LOL - and I bet they do it with their wife beater T's on too!! YOU ARE HYSTERICAL!
I've heard in Calif they pull from both DMV and voting records
probably to widen the pool - so no help from me - sorry!
Can you describe the scrunch you do. Do you mean pull your toes and ball up your foot or what. nm

Look in the local freebies section of the paper or Craig's list
Sometimes a stove is free or really cheap. Look to see if anyone has one listed under appliances. Next, get a CAT! I have one who loves to mouse. He started when he was just a couple months old. He would rather catch mice than anything else in the world. I have never had a mice problem and I live in the country. Now the only thing is they're very proud of themselves when they do catch one and like to share it with those they love!
My 2-year-old twins are potty trained. (1 wears pull-ups at night).

Most larger wine stores have a whole organic/vegetarian section of wines. Good stuff! nm

if you cover it, it will be much less dry!! *S*
HOmeowners may not cover
Sometimes if it is a motorized vehicle it will not be covered under homeowners insurance since you are supposed to have insurance on those independently. Most of the time boats, motorcycles, scooters, cars are not covered but each policy is different but don't be surprisied if they are not. Usually it is the home and contents. Again, I feel for you but if you did not want them stored at your home then your husband should have followed your BIL home to take them off the trailer and see that they are stored in a safe place. Especially since you know them and describe them as such and they have already had a loss. But I guess this is a situation in which everyone learns a question, an expensive lesson but a lesson. Am not sure if you would even win in a court of law as it was not an intentional act and you did not carry insurance on it.. Also with regards to their home owners it might not be covered as it is not theirs. When my niece was borrowing a computer from me and they had water damage because the computer was mine and not theirs it was not covered. Good luck but to me this looks like a no win situation for anyone.
I believe the tip goes to the franchise to cover --sm
the amount of gas prices, etc. I would continue tipping the driver the same amount, if I were you, and no, I would not tip any higher amount on Superbowl Sunday...it is not a holiday. lol.
If it is like my bank they will cover you up to $500 -sm
and you have 3 days to payback the bank, which you already did. You did not have anything bounce, so no one will have notices saying not to accept your checks. The bank will be charging you though for their service of covering for you, so you may need to put in another $100 or so to cover that before Friday, check with the bank. You can probably manage your account on-line, check into it, great way to make sure you don't over draw yourself. I try to keep $1000 in the savings account for such emergencies, also with my bank they will automatically transfer the money in from savings to checking if I do overdraft for no charge since I have the money there.

I cover mine at 350 and put
a teaspoon of olive oil on the bottom of the pan first. I happen to use a clear glass or ceramic dish with a tight cover. It seems they turn out more moist with that type of dish. I know you don't want to add anything, but I like to sprinkle a dash of salt and pepper on mine and put some finely sliced garlic (not much, a small clove) in the olive oil. That way the flavor from the garlic circulates around the dish and adds a hint of flavor, but doesn't overwhelm it. I can't tell you how long to cook it, but I can always tell mine is done just by the way it looks. It does shrink a good bit.
Did insurance cover this or how much?

Keyboard cover?
Does anybody use a cover on their keyboard (while working). I dumped tea all over mine the other day, and had to buy a new one. I always wear the letters off the keys within weeks, and thought maybe a cover would help. TIA
Implants they do not cover any of the
cost as it is considered cosmetic. The denture they will pay a portion but not much sorry to say!!
I doubt homeowners would cover this, but
to do? How would the carpet store fix this? Just wondering....
She's using her tail to cover the delicate
parts, hehehe. That's more than my dogs do, course they have a lot more fur-clothing on.
he needs to be taken out, quietly, under cover of darkness

A "fee" to cover their time.
It's a fee for the time they took calling the police and looking at video tapes. The probation officer said that stores rarely do it but that they can. I guess we're just extra special.
We go before a special youth council next week....and revisit with his doctor about the Respirdal and the hair pulling, etc...
You can never judge a book by its cover, can you? sm
Simply amazing. Gave me goose bumps. Her voice is pure joy. Love it every time I hear it!!!
Obviously didn't cover many details in a post.
I am not emotionally selfish. Heavens. And I am a Believer, while they are not. I am an animal lover, not above humans. But when I have gotten together with my family in the past, they have chosen those visits to ridicule my family and our love of animals - family get-togethers were nothing more than lets bash the youngest over her love for her animals. Its a bigger picture than I am comfortable to explain here - basically even covers the hunting versus anti-hunting personalities, etc. I have never ever pushed my philosophy on them - its always been vice versa. As an animal lover, I can sense disdain when I am around others who are not as close as family, but who believe animals are worthless - the old dog belongs outside in a dog house philosophy, or the only good cat is a dead one. We can discern these types and I would certainly rather not spend my time in their presence. While you are feeling the need to explain that you don't disapprove of your mother and her choices, your whole theme has honestly been one of disapproval of her and her choices. You don't need to speak those words to her. She can discern your real feelings, but perhaps you are not discerning your mother's. Just a thought from one Biblical Christian to another.
Dr. Phil DID cover this very topic a few months ago...
and there was a guy who supposedly went to Africa and needed all this money to eat, get out of prison, get home to see this woman he was chatting with and told he loved so much. She fell for the whole thing until Dr. Phil exposed the whole story on his show and had other women there who had also fallen for this guy and sent him money. I don't know if you can get a DVD of the show or not, but it might be worth it to try.
Did insurance cover prophylactic mastectomies? (NM)

no, nobody knows but the bank, they will cover checks you wrote

I bought Cover Girl's and I love it too
In time I'm sure all the cosmetic companies will have this type of make up.
