It always seems to happen like that, doesn't it.
Everything falls apart at once. Anyway, I have gas after having had electric for 15 years. I love my gas stove. The stove top is much faster, saves a lot of time. In the winter, when I'm done with the oven and turn it off, I open the door and it heats up the kitchen so nice and toasty. I would not go back to electric if I had a choice.
Even though it used to happen, doesn't make it right.
Honestly the humilitation of being paddled by a man in front of my mother would have sent me into hysterics. I was paddled a couple times in school, and yes it hurt a LOT, by a principal and a teacher but it was always in private, but even with the witness it was always really embarrassing. I hated it, sticking my be-hind out for all the world to see so someone could try to get me to cry.
I don't think humiliation is a good punishment, don't like shame. Pain isn't either.
he may love the dog and doesn't want something bad to happen; he is 14.

Maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but it can happen
Don't let this poster discourage you. Maybe that's her experience, but but it can be done. My sister-in-law and her ex-husband (as well as my sister-in-law's current husband) are all friends. Even though they've been divorced for years, my kids still call him Uncle Tom and he is invited to all family parties and always spends the holidays with us.
Ok, I just asked my husband, and he doesn't do it anymore because it stopped working
He said that he kept e-mailing them to get a new scanner, but they never sent him one, and their customer support is horrible. He said that he finally stopped doing it a few months ago because he gave up on them.
Hey, have at it. If you want a lazy, apathetic, not affectionate, doesn't listen, doesn't make
can reach him!!! Let me know if you're interested.
It doesn't make me mad but it doesn't sound intelligent either (sm)
I am sure if all of those people who were aborted were living, some would be good and some would be bad, in the same proportion as there is good to bad now. Your statement makes no sense. So somehow the babies who were aborted were meant to be aborted because they were bad seeds? Whatever. Sorry, that's just silly.
It doesn't always work that way though - some give but it doesn't come back like that nm

It used to be that way, but not anymore. sm
In order to maintain a roof over our head and food on the table, etc., I finally put my foot down with my "spender" of a husband. His check (around half as much as mine) is now directly deposited into the checking account that he has no access to period.
If there is money left over after bills are paid and he sees something he absolutely has to have then I buy it.
I know it sounds like I "wear the pants" in the family, but we wouldn't have any pants if I left finances up to him. This man could spend his whole paycheck in a half an hour and just bring home "stuff" because it was "cool." We have been able to buy a house and we haven't had the power or phone shut off in over 5 years.
If I hadn't done this, we'd have been living in a shack with no running water, but you can bet your paycheck that we'd have a big screen TV. 
NOT ANYMORE
The book is also cancelled!
That is great and I am glad. Judith Regan decided not to publish it! Hooray for her!
I won't say anymore...
Didn't mean to almost spoil it for you. I wasn't thinking.
Don't use it anymore, but when I did...
cleaned the thing each and every time. I won't even use a frying pan for making grilled cheese or something without cleaning it out each time. My MIL does that stuff and it grosses me out. :/
She may not want to do IT anymore, but you can
x
I can't get into it anymore...has it changed?..
I just get "picture of the day" and not the live cam I used to see. ???
she's not a girl anymore though
She's 21 and sadly makes her own decisions. She's too addled to know enough to hire someone to watch over her. Coke gives you a feeling of invincibility. Mom's a mess and so is Dad. She was so darn cute in the Parent Trap too.
What is a holiday? I don't know anymore. NM
xx
Not anymore than a ESL dictation does.
.
They're not RNs anymore, so it's more
than just the appearance that's changed.
I only go when I can't see out of my glasses anymore.
Or when I accidentally sit on them and break them.
Actually, Jon said last season he did not want to do it anymore -
Jon clearly said this year that the stay at home dad thing was not for him, that he wanted and needed to go to work, and that he was tired of this life and the show -- but Kate is not and insists "the show must go on"...
there is really no bed rest anymore -
I went home from the hospital 12 hours after my son was born and had no problems whatsoever. I was at Wal-Mart shopping that night because the doctor told me it was good to start walking and just not to overdo it.
I don't remember there being any pain after he was born, just soreness all over really.
If he wins, definitely not watching anymore!
There is no way he even compares to Melinda or Jordin. I was not too happy with Taylor Hicks last year. So if it happens again, I'm done. : )
I think you're right - I did tell them not to play that way anymore (sm)
I told them they could hurt her and that they can't play rough with her like they do with me. I do wish she would understand that they are kids though. They haven't intentionally been mean and if they were, they would be in trouble!
Gosh, I did that for years, can't do it anymore nm
x
I'm not even motivated by the lines anymore! (sm)
I have done this work for about 11 years. At first I loved it. I still do love it in a way...I mean I would not mind doing it every once in a while LOL! But I just can't stay focused on it anymore. And I have been having anxiety and panic too and trouble sleeping. I think it is because we don't use our bodies or brains in a normal way and things start malfunctioning. LOL! I don't know! I just know it's making me nuts to keep sitting here all day every day! I got a chance to go with a friend today to walk, have lunch and go shopping. The pure ecstatic feeling I got just at the thought of taking a walk in the daylight and eating lunch out was amazing. That's kind of a problem....it's not that exciting!
okay. Willl not respond anymore. Thanks. Nm

actually changed to satelite and don't get FX anymore
so i will have to wait until it comes out on DVT. I'm going to start a new thread about N/T...you inspired me!
Anyone know why I can't get those little emoticons on my posts anymore?

I am with ya. Having a hard time doing t his anymore.
I could not put a word to it but "fruity" describes it perfectly. My brain is just fried after 26 years. I cannot see myself doing this until I am 65, 14 more years. Holy Cow. No way. Gotta look into something else. Have to wake up my brain. Good luck with the billing job.
I am watching right now so I won't share anymore
but she is drinking this in front of the whole room. I think this is just a mistake with the props department.
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.
how to handle a pet you do not care for anymore
In October we got a 7-week old cat from a local vet. We loved her, she was a sweet ball of fluff. She is mainly an indoor cat but does like to go out a few times a day. A few weeks back she started eliminating (both) on my down comfortor, which is a PITA to wash!!! I thought it was just the comfortor so I would just put it away every day after i woke up. I thought maybe it was the litter so I have changed the type of litter I used and that seemed to help. But last night she peed on the bed itself, not the comfortor. The mattress is only about 6 months old, i'm very upset about this!!
Consequently to me disciplining her for this, the cat does not like me anymore. She does not allow me to pet her, she will no longer sit in my lap. The only time she is friendly with me is when I am making food in the kitchen and she comes and rubs on my legs because she wants food. The only thing I did was take her and put her outside when she eliminated on the bed. I use a spray bottle to keep her off of the table and now to completely keep her out of my room. She does not eliminate anywhere else in the house but my bed and the litter pan.
Besides this she plays rough. She is always biting and scratching. Maybe it has just been too long since I had a kitten and forgot but do they normally do that? she is not very loving. This makes me sad as I wanted a lazy Garfield type cat LOL. I know it's not fair for me to expect her to act a certain way but I can't help being dissapointed. She is ruining my bed. I have started putting her outside more but my youngest gets sad when I do as he thinks she won't come back and that is a battle.
Anybody had problems like this? I know there is a spray you can buy so they will not eliminate on certain places but won't she just find somewhere else to do it?
who really cares anymore? My SO and I will never get married
marriage is a dying tradition
I used to be afraid of spiders, but not anymore.
When you fight for space in a home, you get over the fear. If they aren't too "fast", I catch them and put them outside. Not afraid of anything else except heights. Can't even get on a step stool.
I was a tomboy growing up and played with all kinds of insects and bugs except spiders. Even brought home a garter snake, bat, and mouse as a house pets. Can't imagine why my mom was so upset.
There is no more home ec in schools anymore,
x
None anymore. No wait. Let me count!
I was so busy working that most of my friends gave up and I can't blame them. My closest dearest friend of 30-some years died 2 years ago. We only kept in touch by phone in the past 5 years prior to her death.
I have 2 internet friends, one the wife of my boy friend (not boyfriend) from elementary school and one who shares genealogy family with me. He was the brother I never had.
Oh, and my husband. We've been best friends for 40 some years.
I would not call her anymore until she called...sm
me. When she called me then I would call her. If she didn't call me then I wouldn't call her unless I needed something.
No worry here - all I ever do anymore is work.

I don't think he lives at home anymore.
I usually take the woman's side with this kind of stuff, but can't do it with Kate. She has changed big time. Jon said a long time ago he didn't want to do the show anymore but she's really into it. I think she is only doing the show for herself, not her kids (as she says), and she is willing to put her marriage on the line. In my opinion, she has never treated Jon very well. She's very overbearing. It's her way or the highway and he chose the latter.
I hope they take the show off the air.
I lymphedema, so don't wear mine anymore.
I had a crush injury of my left hand years ago, even before we were married back in 1985. (Smashed it between two canoes as we snagged going around a river bend.) It healed, and I thought everything was good until about four, maybe five years ago. I camp a lot, even in the winter, and I think I did some more damage with some minor frostbite. First the swelling came and went, but now it sticks around. I have to wrap the hand and have compression garments to wear. I can't type with those things on, tho, so I'm really pretty noncompliant!
Anyway... I can't wear rings on my left hand, and I just find they get in the way on my right hand. So, no rings.
I haven't heard anymore about this-maybe they were stopped
They came here to PA to protest a soldier's funeral this winter. The only thing they hadn't planned on was the fact that the town where the funeral was held was so small, there was one main street in and out...and that was blocked by the Harley riders and others, so they didn't get in.
And Canada would send him back. Can't do that anymore!

If we are not supposed to say "Merry Christmas" anymore then
what are we supposed to call Dec. 24 and 25??????
American Idol - anyone watch it anymore?
I thought the rocker chick was monotonous and so was Brooke who I previously thought did great last week. I also thought the rocker guy (forget his name) is getting very cocky even though I like him. I think it's time for the Australian bloke to go, even though he's cute, just don't think his voice is that good.
I am out of the closet now, just don't have the hair to sling around anymore!!
nm
we dont have small kids anymore
so when people come to visit I find it easier to just follow the child around/keep a close eye on them for the first hour or so. They are so quick, it doesn't take long. They will show you all the things to move out of the way. lol
I agree with you...I don't watch the show anymore.
I used to, but first I got sick of how Kate treated Jon and really the lack of respect they have for each other...now it really makes me sad that the show continues and their family/marriage is falling apart. How can Americans watch a show where a family is crumbling before our eyes! Is it the morbid curiosity of it all? I cannot morally watch it anymore. I feel very sorry for the kids and have no respect for Jon and Kate who are still wanting to do the show because now they have a taste of living high on the hog and won't give it all up for the sake of their marriage and kids. They definitely had a price and were bought, in my opinion.
Well, what does 'til death do us part' mean anymore then? If you take the oath, sm
loser or not, you are husband and wife and I certainly don't take that lightly. If he didn't cheat on her or vice versa, then he and she should have done everything in their power to make it work for the children. She's probably post-partum, humiliated at his 'lack of success,' and after 2 years of marriage, according to prenups - would have been ordered to pay and astronomical amount of money and they were just approaching their 2 years. Talk about timing!
I think it's mostly her fault. She should have never married him. She probably has been thinking about the prenup and money over the past 2 years.
Party was in a small town in southeastern PA. Better not say anymore! LOL

Well said, everything. I am tired of feeling like I don't even live in America anymore. sm

I have to have a front tooth removed because it cant be fixed anymore and has had all it can have
done to it. It was damaged when I was young along with the one beside it. Has anyone had a front tooth removed and instead of an implant had a partial or something put in for 1 tooth. What do you recommend other than an implant. I have lost a lot of bone with this tooth so it would be a very long process for an implant. This tooth has cost me a fortune so far.
