Miami Beach (South Beach) or even the one in Orlando or New Orleans - but I doubt he's at the one in MS at the moment.....

BUT ENJOY!!!  He's terrific!!! 

Doug kissed me in first grade and then ignored me forever after that.

Tilden in 5th grade - he picked me to be his square dancing partner.

Lyle in 6th grade - had all the makings of an abusive husband, but didn't realize it at the time.

Tilden again in 7th grade - didn't last too long.

Had a HUGE nonreciprocated crush on Dan in 9th grade.

Bill in 10th grade - he was a Sr. so got to go to prom.

Dumped him for Chuck not long after prom.

Met Tom at church camp that summer - long distance thing.

Tim when I was a junior, who introduced me to his friend, Jerre, who ended up being my husband till this day.

That was fun!

Seriously, she was supposedly a well known and well respected pet psychic.  My dog was elderly and in poor health.  I'd adopted her at 10-11 years of age, and now it was 5 yrs later.  Her owner was not entirely honest with me about her background, so I was curious about that, and her current state of health. 

I saw her flyer at a Pet Expo, so I gave her a call.  I took notes about what she said.  Some of it was accurate (if obvious/generic), and the rest was... well, I wouldn't say *wildly* off base, but it wasn't accurate and/or I didn't believe it.  I don't believe she had any kind of gift, though it was an intersting conversation and she was very professional. 

I do think some (very few) people do have abilities in this area that most of us don't have, but I also believe most 'psychics' are full of it and just do it for the money.  I've never wanted to see a 'people' psychic, and I wouldn't try a pet psychic again either.  JMO. 

the complaining.  Like previous posts have stated, at least your daughter calls you.  You should be glad to have a daughter who thinks enough of you to call you and cares enough to ask if you are upset.  It may annoy you now, but what will you do when she stops or isn't there to call any more?

Yes, you can "take care of you" and let this be "your time," but your kids will always be your kids.  You can take care of you and still have time to pick up the phone or return a phone call.

My father used to tell the same stories over and over again.  Did I always like hearing the same stories?  Of course not.  But you know what.....I've give anything to hear one of those stories from my dad's lips again but I can't because he passed away last year.  The things that annoy us today may be the very thing that we miss later.  We just don't stop and take the time to be thankful for what we do have. 

Be thankful that you have money and are content with your life.  Be thankful that your daughter still cares enough to call.  When you count your blessings and focus on the good things, petty things like this won't get you so upset.

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.

wearing that distinctive jacket.  And inform you child to  bring her stuff home with her.  She learns a valuable lesson here.

I have tried this off and on for a few months and every time I chew gum all day my line counts go up.  For some reason they say spearmint is the best.  I find that it increases my focus and keeps me alert and helps me type faster!! 

Current studies are looking into three areas of potential benefits, the company says:

• Stress management: What's behind the common practice of chewing gum to relieve tension? Wrigley cites research showing that it stimulates certain areas of the brain, but wants to go further. "Consumers tell us they use it for that, and yet we don't understand how that comes about," Kumar said.

• Weight management: As a 5- to 10-calorie substitute for a high-calorie snack, gum could obviously reduce caloric intake. But does it help suppress appetite? "It's not that chewing gum has any particular magic, but it can be a useful behavior modification pill," said Gilbert Leveille, executive director of the Wrigley Science Institute, which held its inaugural meeting in Chicago in December.

• Cognition and focus: Is gum-chewing a way to increase focus, concentration and alertness? Wrigley points to studies that show that it increases blood flow to the brain but would like to see it linked definitively to higher concentration levels.

for answers!  Thanks again. I had that terrible question rolling around in my head all day and worrying myself to death. 

This will be a lesson well learned in the future.
