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.
I don't automatically think spanking is abuse
said it was okay to give 'em the belt. That is abuse, plain and simple. If you feel a need to spank your child, then do it with your own hand, not another object. It's too easy to hit too hard with an object because you're not feeling the pain you're subjecting them to.
As for the gov't interfering, they have to because there are too many wackos in this world that do beat their kids to a pulp. If they all parented with a little more sense, like you obvioulsy do, then I would agree that the gov't shouldn't interefere, but unfortunately the wackos of this world don't care.
It sounds to me as if you're raising some wonderful children. You've definitely offered up some very good advice. I saw no where in your post where you said that you've used a belt, and I'm not saying that you did. I'm simply referring to the OP that started this thread that beating with a belt is abuse.
when I removed IE 7 it automatically reverted back to IE 6...sm

Dang vet.
So they sedated her, shaved her and THEN found a faint scar they are 99% sure is a spay scar so they aren't going to spay her now. She was almost bald on her stomach the first time they checked so I don't know how they missed it last time. Her knee joint is swollen so they are putting her on meds for that. They didn't check anything else I asked about so when I go pick her up we get to do that then. No results on the blood work yet either, if they even drew it. I'll be happy when we can go back to our regular vet.
I am so dang frustrated!!!!
Whatever happened to the customer is right and we will do whatever it takes to make you happy?
I have now been on the phone with Vonage for 30 minutes and this is my 3rd phone call in as many days. I changed my billing information this weekend and when I did they put 2 test charge holds on my account of $15 each. Now my bank says they cannot release these holds, that it has to come from Vonage.
The first call, they told me within 2 hours they would have it released, to check back my account. The second call, the same scenario. Let them check with that department, please hold..... yes, they will release your money immediately. Now, third call and I have this very irritating woman with an American name (which of course is not her name since I have to listen very carefully to understand a word out of her ESL mouth) who keeps informing me there is nothing to be done and she is sorry but a supervisor is not available and she is so sorry, but no supervisor is available and if they were available they would still tell me that there is nothing they can do for me... put me on hold, play elevator music, answer again and say, I am so sorry, miss, there is noone available to take your complaint other than myself and if there were,,, blah...blah... blah
Even if.... even if.... I am sorry... as much as I want to....
No...worked it off playing my son's dang (sm)
My son just got the Nintendo Wii. If you're not familiar with this contraption, you actually go through the motions.
I played tennis and bowling all day long TG and I am SO sore!!! My right arm feels like it's about to fall off. Every time I reach for my mouse, I wince...
Yeah, been doing my fair share of grazing... will work it off at the mall lol ;-)
Dang flies won't sit down to get swatted!
What do y'all do to demise the flies short of never opening a door?
Dang, I wondered why it hurt so much
sharper scissors, huh?
dang! am I glad I'm single!
What are you doing putting up with this!?! WOW!!! Are you kidding?!?! Abusers isolate their victims, cut them off from their family and friends. Climb a giant ladder and STAND UP FOR YOURSELF!!! You and your sister are free to do as you please. This piece of work you are married to (and whose emotions you have obviously tip-toed around for ages) is going to have to get over it. He's obviously ashamed of something, his home, his lack of employment, himself. I cannot believe you have put up with this for ages --- grow a set and use 'em!
I hate it when the dang computer wants to....sm
show its a$$. I have had the same issues with either the computer or internet connection. Sure does put a damper on your income.
I know the fustration of a car not passing inspection. My previous car, a VW Beetle, had tinted windows, and they were over the legal tint. SOoooo, nobody would give me an inspection. I paid $250 for that tint job and I loved it and said I am not taking it off. My bug was white and the dark windows just set it off. So finally we found a place that gave me the sticker. YAY!! But I don't have that car anymore. Last year I got a new car and I just sold the bug. I don't have tint on the new car though. And if I do I won't be getting past the legal limit.
Look at the bright side, at least the car is paid for. No note. It does suck you had to take it out of retirement.
If I can recommend one thing. Read The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. It won't solve your problems overnight but if you follow his advice it will in time. I know people who have and it works.
Vent all you want. I know how it is to need to vent. But beware some people on here can be pretty rude sometimes. I have experienced it myself. ;)
I meant "they're" - dang it!

By anonymous I mean
"not face to face." I know it's not completely anonymous. I just mean that people say things in writing that they might not say in person.
Sex toys - embarassing & anonymous
Hi - I'm serious - anonymous embarassing question for anonymous answers! I am 39 years old and my husband recently found out that I have a sex toy I bought about a year ago. He is furious and is acting like I am a really bad person. I think these things are way more common than the thinks. Just looking for opinions?
you'd bet your first born on an anonymous post
I think YOU might be ill and need a therapist. I'm not that poster but I think your response here is assumptive and presumptive and you *seem* so much smarter than this.....you cannot assume anything on a public board online....and you said YOU'D BET YOUR FIRST BORN on your thoughts about that poster.....I think you need to recheck your priorities...........
JMO..........
I would make an anonymous call
Just say you are not sure if the information will be helpful, but it is just something you noticed. Of course in the case of a fire they will do an investigation, arson and such, and it is very rare for a house to burn to the ground and everything in it turn to ash before the fire gets put out. I think they could tell if it was empty or not. I used to type up forms for a college fire department, and they are very long and detail-oriented, nothing is left out. On the subject of home insurance, I myself am tired of paying higher premiums because of just this kind of thing. They won't get away with it if this is the case. People are so afraid to report anything illegal these days. I live in a cul-de-sac with the nosiest bunch of neighbors I have ever encountered, they know who did what and with whom at what time, but nobody seemed to know who stole my car right out of my driveway a few years ago. I guess I'm just tired of honesty NOT being the norm.
Anonymous question regarding abortion (sm)
With this being a major factor in the political arena right now I wanted to ask this:
For anyone who has ever had an abortion (and there are many of us), were/are you ok with it still or did you have a period of extreme guilt/anxiety over it? I had one and did not terribly regret it, other than a short grief period, until I actually had children. I went through about two years of horrible guilt and remorse. I am now pro-life. I feel an abortion kills an innocent child and causes emotional scars for the mother that will never go completely away. I feel that I am not deserving of complete happiness in my life, ever, because I denied my child the right to have a life and attempt to find happiness. I know my reasons at that time and I know I felt like it was something I had to do, but the fact is many of us had them to avoid the shame, embarassment and/or financial burden that we feared. We thought we couldn't give our child a decent life even if we had him/her. The thing is, for the small price of some embarassment/shame and inconvenience, we could have given a family without a child a chance to have a child to love and raise, we could have given that child an opportunity to grow and seek happiness, even with obstacles to overcome. Instead, many of us chose a more selfish route, convincing ourselves it was less selfish. Anyway, that's how I feel about it. How about you.
anonymous herpes survey - sm
How common do you think it is? I think it is very, very common. Statistics show it affects about 1 in 3 people. Do you know anyone who has it? (self included?)
I know a few people who have it.
If receiving anonymous help, prayers,
painting him out to be a monster, talking to parishioner or WHATEVER contributes in any way to get her one more step toward out, then she should try it all. Things are simply not as cut and dried in the world of abuse as you would like to think. You never know what turn of a phrase or sense of inspirational support (even if it is coming from strangers) is going to do the trick, so anybody looking from the outside in should try everything they know. Also, especially with kids involved, this is no time to throw caution to the wind in such a volatile and potentially violent or, God forbid, fatal situation.
maybe it's anonymous because the person knows you would say Not True.

I used star77 to block anonymous
callers but it doesn't work for those who put the phone number on caller ID. It has really gotten bad in the last few weeks. I work nights and they start at 9 am and go on all day. I'm on the no call list but really would like to block all toll free numbers. Any one know how to do that? I have digital phone through Time Warner.
Can you do an anonymous call rejection on the cell? nm

I doubt a guy would send an anonymous letter- sm
it is mostly likely a woman sending it, possibly the girl in question if there is a girlfriend. I would not blindly accept it as untrue but then again I would not let it wreak my marriage as it is quite possibly the work of some sick individual out to cause trouble. I do trust my DH, but he will never cheat as he is terrified of getting a STD and of getting someone pregnant as well, and I do keep him happy as well. But I would just be a bit more aware of things, if any red flags pop up, then maybe have him followed by a PI for a few days to see if there is anything to it. If they find nothing then I would not worry about it. One of my good friends had her DH followed, though she could not get any proof as he was pretty slick and suspected he was being followed which did not help, but he did give her crabs which is what led her to use a PI, he had some lame excuse as to how he got crabs too, really makes me wonder at how dumb men think women are. They divorced in the end of course and she (and the kids) are much happier today.

Write an anonymous letter. Type it up if you are that concerned, although I sm
am a big fan of minding my own business. You need to talk to her first instead of about her like this. Tell her your concerns. Be real and up front. Say, I don't respect you for this because you seem to be able to do such and such and I should turn you in. Don't be scared to do this. But if you are afraid, then write a letter since you say you know the insurance person and secretary.
She is still herself...she is not putting herself out there (sm)
for a beauty contest, she is an entertainer, looks the best for herself. She cannot become someone else. She still has a right to perform.
Are you putting down a lot, like half?
I don't understand how you can even get such a high mortgage. Is that really possible? My husband and I make over 100K and have great credit and I know for a fact the most we MAY get approved for is 300,000 and that's with a lot of luck. Please enlighten me!
I was actually out putting trash out when
the police car got there. The neighbors, as I said before were not home at the time. The officer asked if I was the caller and when we were talking about the problem the neighbors pulled up. I was not about to wimp out and act like it was a big surprise that the police were there. I confronted the issue and was not two-faced about it. Since I worte this morning I found out that this guy went to the neighbors and complained about me and asked if they had any problems with his dogs barking. Each and every one stood up for me 100%. What I don't understand is why he didn't apologize to me after driving me crazy for so long instead of being rude and acting like a two-year-old. The police agreed and told him so. Also, as I stated before I was not sad about the neighbor. I was sad about the dogs. Their barking was not their fault. They need supervison and the neighbor needs to know that each of us in a neighborhood needs to be mindful of others. I am glad I did what I did now.
What I am doing is putting vinyl down...sm
that looks like wood. It is in vinyl planks. Do it yourself easy. Me and my mom put it down. My son's room cost about $80 to put down in there. My hall floor is only costing $38 and is looks very nice. I don't care if it is cheap it looks much better and is lots cleaner.
I don't see a problem with putting that on there, but...(sm)
Maybe it's me, but I don't see why it has to be addressed at all. Just put the start and end times of party on the girls' invitations and the sleepover thing on the boys' invitations. It certainly would be acceptable to put the explanation in the invitation if you feel the need to. I don't think the girls' parents are going to be upset either way. I certainly wouldn't let my girl stay at an allnight sleepover with a bunch of boys or vice versa -- no matter the age LOL :)
The car isn't worth more even after putting in a
you might be able to call a local automobile salvage yard, auto recycling center, or junkyard place to see if they would come out, look at it, and see what they would be willing to pay you for the parts....
Try putting up some aluminum foil.......sm
to see if that will work. I know that for woodpeckers doing this scares them off. If this doesn't work, iF you have a county extension office office call and ask them what they recommend. Otherwise you can call a wild life preserve in your area for advice.
Good luck!
Well that makes me laugh, because putting
waste their time clicking!! See below.
she keeps putting obxious instead of obnoxious. Tsk,tsk.

I see from your answer why the friend is putting you off.
No one posting has gotten anywhere close to what you are suggesting in your language. Shame on you.
Because you keep putting xx inside your email. That is your name. nm

I plan on putting them in a crock pot with
the roast and potatoes to cook all day. so maybe they will be okay. Thanks!
How about putting your hot water bottle/bag in SM
the microwave to just get the chill off ot it before you apply it. The house was frigid cold and I wanted to warm up. Kept it in for a little two long and the whole microwave and kitchen smelled of burned rubber for I don't know how long! TOP THAT, why doncha! 
That's not a bad idea. he's forever putting
a few $$ here and a few $$ there in his gas tank and he has a steady girlfriend. Maybe a gift card to the movie theatre too! TY!
Anyone not putting up Christmas lights?
I usually make a big to-do out of having the house and yard lit up, but this year I don't think I'm going to. The few hours they are on a night sure packs a punch on the electric bill. How bout everyone else?
Although for different reasons, I'm putting mine up
later than usual. I usually have them up by Thanksgiving, but this year I think I'm going to wait until the first weekend in December to do the outside lights. We don't usually light them every night. I'm going to start my indoor decorations then, too, but holding off on the tree until a week or 2 before Christmas.
Our current house is a little small and the tree really clutters it up. We're moving in January and have a lot to do before then. If I didn't have kids, I probably wouldn't put the tree up at all. I love Christmas, but things are just too hectic and cluttered right now.
putting up Xmas lights
Sorry if this may seem really dumb but I've never done this before - how do you attach the lights to siding on a house around windows and doors? It's not wood siding, it's an older home with aluminum siding.
This person is putting it harshly but ...
the message is correct. and I just came in the middle of your conversation so sorry if I got it wrong. However, this is a sore subject for me. I wish I could counsel people before they get to this point.
but I was with my now husband for 8 years before marrying him. My daughter, our daughter was 4 when we married. I say my daughter because I felt like a single mom the whole time even after we married.
Looking back and I am now past my prime, I am 45 and with a chronic illness, but looking back I wish I had just taken my special needs child and moved on with my life. but I stayed out of fear of being alone, fear of raising a special needs child on my own, fear of getting a disease, not being in a monogamous relationship, etc. and even though he eventually married me, I do not think he was nor is he now marriage material. I have stood by him, followed him from state to state with his work, helping him get through college, waiting on it to be my turn and it never is. So these days I have taken the attitude that I am on my own even though I am married. I do blame him in a way but I also blame myself. but he could have just as easily walked away too.
Rule number one take care of self first, be it school, career, financial independence, etc. then get married. Not the other way around. Some people form attachments with their long-term mates but some NEVER do.
Start now. Start today. Enroll in a school, train for something you can be financially independent doing, be happy with you first and the rest will follow later down the road.
(((hugs))) I wish you the best.
Not putting you down, but do you honestly believe Danny

Well, 10 years+ MTing, so kind of new...I see what you are saying about putting in a few sm
hours, etc. Can I be honest? I like working on holidays. I really do. BUT, that was not my point. My point was that I don't like other MTs telling me that I SHOULD work that day. And that is my obligation. Because to that I say, no it isn't!
Putting in middle initial so can differentiate
the difference is that apparetnly this law is to have women see a fetus growing and thinking this will change their mind by seeing the ultrasound. My heart told me what to do and my mind certainly was such that I had more sense than to bring a child into the world I could not possibly care for financially to start with. I never worried a minute or a day with my decision. I can live with most all decisions I have made in my life very easily.
Okay, which caption are you going to steal, and what publication are you putting it in? LOL
