and someone knocked out the lock on the passenger side with a hammer or something (dented above the door handle) and took my Dooney & Bourke purse my mom got me as a gift. I LOVED that purse. But here's the good news. The only thing they got was my bag and a bunch of make up because I had my wallet with me!

We had dinner at a very nice restaurant sm
and then went home and ate the top of the cake....not so great, but it was fun. We also watched our wedding video. We had a very small reception, no band or dancing, but the song I had the Time of My Life (from Dirty Dancing) was played over and over on our honeymoon, so danced in our living room to that song and well.......one thing led to another. It was very romantic.
Maybe a nice garden/gazebo/outdoor wedding at a club/restaurant etc nearby? Get

This native NYorker agrees! Nice restaurant meal & clean sheets

Hehe, I run and hide also and
tell the kids to be really quiet. I even lock the door like they're gonna try to open it!
If she lied, she has something to hide. SM
First, she was YOUR friend, so if she is dating your ex behind your back and is lying to you about it, she has a reason to lie to you. What would that be? Probably that she was involved long before, as you already suspect. Sometimes it pays to listen to that small still voice inside you that tells you something so ludicrous that you just don't want to believe it. But still, there are people who do that. Your husband is right. She does not deserve to have you for a friend. You are too good for her. I would love to have a friend like you, with morals and ethics. It's also a shame that you would think people would be upset with you because you choose to love somebody who has a different skin color. I don't care if your husband is purple Peel off all our skin and we are all the same. Good luck to you. Looks like you got rid of two burdens and took on a wonderful blessing in a new husband. !!
Do us a favor and hide the phone, please! : (
And can I ask why? Is it just because he is a "male" or what? Unbelievable.
hide it and give them a pirates' map or
give them a note in a stocking (or whatever) with a riddle sending them somewhere else where they would find another note and riddle sending them yet another place, and so on, and so....until they finally get the gift card!
then you could put the card in a really funny place like the frig.
You know what kind of chaps my hide? The fact that the right of parents have been stripped and some
of these kids flaunt it in the face of their parents, i.e., 'you can't spank me, you can't do this or that'. I had a friend some 15 years ago who had a daughter that called CPS out of spite and lied on her mother because the kid didn't want to listen; said that her mother 'abused' her. They came to my friend's place of work and arrested her, led her out of the building in handcuffs. The kid was placed in a temporary foster home; the mom was interrogated by CPS, had to go to court - come to find out that this child lied on her mom, almost ruined her financially and shamed her, all because she couldn't hang out in the streets with her so-called friends. Her mom was a good mother and loved her kids but the relationship after that with her daughter progressively deteriorated (at the time this girl was eleven years old). It just irritates the dickens out of me that some of these children are so manipulative and hateful towards any form of authority.

I live in Houston
Houston 1.79 nm

We live in Houston and
I searched at www.har.com for the house we ended up buying.
When we were looking to move to Florida though, which didn't work out, I put the city and state name in Google and searched by what came up first and just went down the list. Assuming you don't live in Houston, does the city/state have a site they list homes in that people more often use? Other than that, see what comes up first when searching for homes on google in your area. Just a thought. This was our first house, so I'm not really experienced in all that, but thought I would offer you my opinion by what I did.
Good luck selling! :)
Anyone in the Houston area? sm
I've been wanting to share this story with you guys for a while now, but just haven't. Anyways, as a mom with young boys, this breaks my heart. A local 15 year old boy was diagnosed on June 1 with a brain stem glioma. He is the son of a local pastor and their family is just precious. They are believing that their son will be healed, but he's got such a long road. He's undergoing experimental treatment in Houston (they just arrived tonight) and will be there for 3 weeks. Insurance won't cover this since it's experimental. He was such a lively young boy before all of this. Anyways, if you are in Houston I'd love to chat with you - maybe if you belong to a large church or something like that - you could help me in some way. Thanks!
Swine flu death in Houston. That's
too close for comfort for me. I'm not far from Houston. It's getting scary now. They're saying it may fizzle out & emerge stronger in the fall like the flu of 1918 did. Yikes!
I've lived in Houston my whole life and I
love it. I like living in the city, although we actually live in the burbs, but close enough! I've never been to NY, but really want to go myself.
99-cent stores in Houston sell milk....
any fat content, 2 gallons for $3. Might be worth a shot if making cheese, though I don't know what the yield would be when converting liquid to solid. Sure beats the $4+ per pound price of cheese in the grocery store.
News says was young child brought TO Houston

Upper Texas coast, Houston area. sm
Now living in Austin near my daughter and grandson. God bless Texas! :)
That gargling, bargling "I WILL ALWAYS LUVVVVV YOUUUUUU" by Crackhead Whitney Houston. sm
ugh. That song makes me SHUDDER.
Did you see that OJ got kicked out of a restaurant
He and his attorney are saying it was race related. Could it be that he's just an asz?? The owner was just on Fox and Friends and said it was because of the book OJ was going to put out.
Hopefully, some great restaurant here in...
Phoenix. DH is on a business trip for 2 weeks and me and my lil' ol' laptop are here too! Nice to work with sunshine and a warm temperature all right outside the hotel door!
One I was at a restaurant waiting
in line for a bathroo stall. Finally a lady came out of onel and I went inside. There was urine ALL OVER the seat. I was just livid. Okay lady, if you are too scared to sit down to pee because of the germs, then for crying out loud, WIPE UP YOUR PEE so it's not there for some total stranger to have to deal with. Or hold it until you get home.
Gross, gross, gross. 
Not sure if still there but the Hoop-De-Doo-Review/restaurant was a lot of fun!

I cannot shut up *LOL* - JUNIOR's restaurant..sm
which is ON Flatbush Avenue when you first get into BKLYN.....it's on the right going towards Prospect Park - it's been there for 50+ years and has some of the best food in NY......Junior's......(remembering all kinds of cheesecake....*lol*).....
A local restaurant had on its sign outside
AYCE DailEy specials...it was there for a while, but someone finally got smart and changed it. This is a pet peeve of mine, too. It drives my husband crazy at times when I start pointing out all the mistakes I see. I saw one on some papers from school, but I can't remember what it was...but from SCHOOL...hello???
what ever the Japanese restaurant is cooking up
A GREEK restaurant with no lamb???--sm
not really GREEK then. geez. I LOVE real greek gyros!! yum!
as far as venison tenderloin, it depends on the age of the deer that was killed, how it was dressed and how soon, and most particularly on the COOK! The best meal I ever had was venison stew by someone who KNEW how to cook it!!! y'all made me hungry now. thanks!
niece and restaurant -- are those right? can't get 'em
just hate that. i've added those to my Expander so they correct themselves... i know there's more ...
ignoring grumble = enjoying restaurant

Dog found in the freezer at our fav Chinese restaurant sm
well what used to be our fav. Now closed. This happened in the 80s. We still love chinese food though. Have it almost once a week.
you went to a Greek restaurant and they didn't have souvlaki?
You should've asked for your money back!
I've met folks from all over the world and learned different types of cooking here and there...just home cookin'...nothin' fancy.
They're are so many different varieties of southern cooking as in every other part of the country. I'm from NY and didn't know squat about jowl meat in the beans and the greens....salted everything...fat on top of fat...or deer for that matter. I was voted least likely to ever whack, hack, pack and stack a deer for the freezer...and name the parts (including making deer sausage and bambi burgers with an old-timey hand grinder) and deer jerky.
Lamb would be a delicacy on anyone's table these days and isn't usually used in southern cooking.
Don't get me started on seafood...lived near the ocean and bay and I didn't realize how expensive that stuff was until I moved inland 'cause I just went out and fished or harvested it.
Now, give me a bambi burger and I know what to do with that!  Cat
Yes, just like hair salon, restaurant, and facials, etc. nm
Chicken quesadillas. Mine are much better than any restaurant...nm

Ah, that is sorta taking advantage of a restaurant
in fact might border on theft. I don’t think quirky, would be embarassing to me to have your family heist any and everything they could when going out. Do they go out other times or just on a special occasion? Rather than run the risk of someone in management asking me to pay for their "treats," think I probably might make them a dinner at home, then you could make sure to tie down anything valuable to you.
restaurant certificates? movie passes? Isotoners? nm

I live in Louisville and restaurant owners all over town are
applauding him for having done it. The restaurant he went to right after that was just around the corner and the owner there said he didn't have guts to not serve him.
Not the OP but good ideas, have you tried DiMillo's Floating Restaurant?
Deep fried lobster tails with that sweet dipping sauce and the lazy lobster where they clean and cut it all up for you and serve it floating in butter?!?!?! And my husband loved the lobster rolls they had everywhere. Gotta get back there :)
On our takeout Chinese restaurant menu - We delivery! lol

Speaking of Gladys Knight. She has THE BEST restaurant on Peachtree St. sm
called Chicken and Waffles. The BEST RESTAURANT in the area. I love it! Of course, that is my opinion. Good soul food. Love it there when I'm up there
In our town, the Chinese restaurant has a painted sign on window: Hot Wing sold here. nm

Book of movie passes? Gift card to a popular restaurant? Ice or roller skating

What a nice response by a nice mom
What a gracious, well-adjusted response to a rude, obviously maladjusted poster--Hard to imagine someone with such an empty life and such a petty spirit that they would take the time to post criticism about a kid's feet! (Some people really have major issues, LOL!)
it is the same in summer or
and we don't have fleas where i live - i was surprised when the vet told me this and said i dont need flea treatment for the cat and dogs.
we did do the oatmeal shampoo which didnt help.
and she only goes out in the backyard where we have no grass, only dirt. new housing and havent landscaped the backyard yet.
thanks for the ideas tho!
I am 37 and went through this the summer before
I have lumpy or fibrotic breasts too. A lump was found on the right side. I also had tender breasts with some pain once a while. The lump I had was excised and completely benign. I've been right where you are with two children and a husband that was worried to death. We got through it together and it turned out benign. I had three opinions all stating it needed to be biopsied. The images are to try to delineate the mass. You'll be in my prayers, but I decided to see a different surgeon because the surgeon that excised my mass had a terrible office staff. The surgeon I see now states that lots of women have lumps and that if they excised every lump from every breast they've palpated, there would be a heck of a lot of women walking around with surgical scars. It is better to be safe than sorry, but I wouldn't worry too much if I was you that this is a malignant mass. However, if God forbid it is, then you have found it early. Take care and God Bless. Feel free to e-mail me if you have other questions.
It has been summer here but
we've been under tornado watches and warnings (central Florida)for 2 weeks now. Even my children have to undergo tornado drills. We went out to eat last night for the first time in months and on the TV, all they were talking about was the severe tornado warning and watches. Brother, when I moved to FLA to get away from the cold, I did not know I was moving to the land of OZ! LOL. I'll switch back to cold for a bit as long as my son's grandma does not have to keep evacuating her mobile home down here!
oh summer!!
and thank you!
That was this past August and I can't wait to get in the Atlantic again!!
This morning it was 27 degrees, hopefully will warm up to 40 today. I know it is still way colder in other parts of the country but I'm sure staying in with the heater! :)
I still haven't spent a summer here, that pic was taken when we were over here visiting when my niece was born. I'm a little nervous about the humidity... but I hope it's not super super awful like ive heard...
Stay warm!
Last summer s/m
My daughter (age 17) and I stayed at the Hotel at Times Square. It used to be a Super 8. It's a couple of blocks from Times Square, Rockafeller (SP?) Center. There's also a Comfort Inn that's about a block closer to Times Square. Check the Apple Core web site. Have a great time. We saw a few plays, walked everywhere, and I never once didn't feel safe. We also took the subway down to Chinatown for lunch. I'm jealous.
Summer
Why not make him get a job at McDonalds or somewhere like that. Tell him if his grades don't go up that's what he has to look forward to for the rest of his life.
My kids paid their own insurance. If they didn't have the money for that then they didn't drive. They kept up the good student discount because they didn't want to pay the higher insurance rates.
We normally don't do too much over the summer - sm
but this one is quite busy so far. They have art day camp one week (June) and drama day camp (August) another. They will do swimming lessons too (2 weeks) if I ever get off my butt to sign them up. They have bikes they can ride, a trampoline in the backyard, a new slipe-n-slide to play with (Intex pool died this year, will get a real nice above-ground next year, we want to do it right so need to get our ducks in a row first), of couse my older daughter will try to be on-line all summer which is not happening. I am sure they will still complain of being bored when we are home of course. We have a weekend at the beach planned, a weekend camping and a weekend family reunion, of which the only thing costing us is the camping fees and food for each outing (DH get hotel points so staying for free at the hotels, yippee), and will probably have one more weekend (hopefully 3 nights instead of 2) at the beach in August, he is building up our points now so we can do that, so only weekend "vacations" for us this year. My DH is taking our younger daughter on his guys weekend to a car show as well. Our money is tight but I think the kids will have a fun and busy summer. I am trying to find time when I can visit my dad as well, but our schedule is so full don't know if it is going to work out, can only lean on everyone so much at work for time off, but as I never take time off normally they know in the summer I do want to have some fun with my kids. I usually go on working vacations but that has grown really old and no longer want to do that. Plan to relax more than usual this year!
I still like him, but I want him with Phyllis and Summer.

This happened to us last summer..sm
We had no idea and then one morning we found six babies! Make sure you take the male rabbit out of the cage and away from the babies or he will kill them. Also, they are tiny now, but they grow quick and will need to be separated by 6-8 weeks old! I thought that was too young, but we had a vet come out and check them over and stated they will start to reproduce anytime after 6-8 weeks old! Sure enough at about 7 weeks the male babies were starting to show signs of...well you know! Anyway, we got them separated and kept them all. My kids loved watching them grow into adult bunnies. You have to put the males in separate cages or they will fight. We kept the mom and girl babies in one cage. Some females are okay with other females and some will need to be separated. Good luck and congrats!
It should be out next summer -- staring
Cameron Diaz or maybe Christina Applegate. LOL!
