Doesn't sound like my idea of a great community when your neighbor hears you whisper

I'm with you. Love the country. Most of those homeowner's associations (at least here in Texas) are power mongers.

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.
Doesn't sound right
under those circumstances. Then whenever someone wanted new wall-to-wall they could just crap it up themselves and submit a claim and get a new rug.
At any rate, even if this is somehow true, the insurance company will only jack up your rate or drop you all together, so you're going to pay either way. And then you'll have a claim history and no other company will want you either.
Ugh, doesn't sound
too fun! Don't want to go to the hospital. That's why I figure it's past time to quit. My son is scared of me dying anyway. I told my husband no need in making his fear come true!
whisper whisper whisper COUGH! COUGH!
Ow
Doesn't sound like it is agreeing with them.

Doesn't sound normal to me
If my kid said that, I'd tell him to forget the movie.
Why do so many parents tolerate hate and abuse among their own children? If the kid next door said that about your daughter, would you let it pass? And the fact that you asked him what it meant - as if a 10 yo wouldn't understand hate - and he told you he wants her to disappear, spells troubled kid to me. I'd take him to a therapist.
Doesn't sound like it is time yet.
As long as she is not starving herself and the fact that she is purring seems to show she is not ready yet. Still sending prayers.
Yikes! Doesn't sound like a do-it-yourself job! /nm

that doesn't sound very positive!!

It doesn't sound dumb...
...at all. I miss my Noni girl every single day. She was the light of my life, my soulmate who happened to be a different species. I have gotten 2 new dogs, but my heart will never feel the same.
It doesn't sound like he's very happy
about the separation/moving at all. IMHO, he's taking his anger and frustration out on you...trying to get you to let him do stuff he didn't do before. He's crying out for help...get him some!
Doesn't sound like he's lying, just sounds like you have different wants.
You're comfy in your life as it is. It's one thing to gain love again, it's a whole different story to gain love along with a roommate and all that comes with that, including losing some sense of freedom and space.
Doesn't sound like the ideal situation for
a child; however, there are many reasons a child can have caries. Because of the drinking by mom, the child may have something wrong with her teeth. I didn't drink and did everything right and one of my daughters had several baby teeth come in without enamel. There is a whole possibility of things that could cause this.
Probably anything from the top of the "pop" charts that doesn't sound too dirty. Or just as

You're worried about the mother? Doesn't sound like she did a very good job herself! nm

Doesn't sound very joyful. Find someone to talk to, counselor, clergy,

All of the dips sound great - Tx
going to try them all (but one at a time).
Thanks.
You sound so strong. Truly sorry for your great loss. What a
wonderful tribute you described of your precious Misha. She was VERY blessed to have had you as her owner. May God give you rest and peace right now.
Wrist bands sound great
I'm going to look into those.
Your decorations sound great. He has no business telling...
you how to live or how to decorate. Comparing Halloween decorations to the Amish shootings is more bizarre than your decorations could be. I would definitely not take it down. Just because he does not celebrate Halloween is no reason to ruin yours.
Abreva. Works great, but it doesn't really
make the ones there go away. It'll stop new ones from coming out and will stop current ones from getting any bigger. You have to use it consistently though when you have a break out.
Thanks - great idea!

GREAT IDEA!

What a great idea!
Hooray to you and your daughter. I hope you start a trend. There is no just no substitute for the written word - it will pay her dividends in a richer life.
Great idea!
There are more tricks to this trade then one can learn in a lifetime! 
What a great idea!
That is the voice of experience talking! 
Thanks for the great idea!
I'm going out soon to get my supplies! lol
It's a great idea!
And I have no problem with government saying that it has to be done. It's in the same league as government setting emissions standards, and other pollution-limiting standards. Because so many people don't want to be bothered, it has to be mandated by the government. We've been recycling here for more than 20 years, and it's a good thing. In the old days, there were a lot of rules about sorting, etc. Now, everything goes in one can, glass, aluminum, paper. I voluntarily compost green kitchen waste, and use the nutrient-rich mulch to feed my garden. Our township also sucks up fall leaves, which we need to only rake or blow curbside. No bagging! They pick up the leaves with a big vacuum, compost them, and provide free mulch to everyone. Recycling has also saved and earned money for our township. It's a very good thing to do. And I have no problem with making people do it.
This is actually a GREAT idea. Thank you. nm

This is a great idea...
I too threatened my daughter with this same punishment and it worked, just threatening! I've seen this tactic somewhere also, Supernanny I think. You must be firm, yet gentle, with kids at this age. I have an 8 YO son who's trying to get a mouth on him, but we're doing our best to keep it in check and nip it before it gets bad. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Good luck and God bless 
What a great idea!
I really like the idea of 3 gifts each. My kids' most expensive gift was a shared gift at $80. Most gifts were between $5 and $20. Candy and dollar store stuff in their stockings. I believe that if you start buying iPods and game systems for them when they are young, what are they going to want when they are 12, 15 years old? They will have all the "toys." The cell phone is a great way to keep in touch and know where you kid is, but my kids won't have phones until they are older and prove to me that they are responsible and will take care of them. Plus, they will have to help pay for the minutes. (My kids are 3 and 5.) I guess my kids are spoiled, but they do not act spoiled. I will not buy them something just because so-and-so has it, I try to teach them 'don't worry about what he/she does or has, worry about yourself.'
great idea! ...sm
I'm so old...I taught the kids (17 of 'em...2 were mine) how to make rice krispie bars from scratch and let 'em pick their own food coloring to jazz it up. They loved playing with their food. Icing and decorations were optional.  Cat
What a GREAT idea! Thanks for that tip!
I would have never thought about shopping on line for candles...and I buy almost EVERYTHING on line these days! ...and they do make terrific gifts for any occasion! Good to know, thank you!
Oh, what a great idea!! thank you - nm
:-)
that's a great idea
I wish we had something like that around here - I would love it!
Thanks! What a great idea.
I will try it! I use dishwasher detergent to clean a lot of things that otherwise are difficult but never thought about laundry! :)
Great idea!....nm

What a great idea!
I don't live where I grew up and now live in the boonies with no pizza delivery or anything. Thanks for the idea ladies. I never thought of having something shipped to me. I'm sure my family could probably do it and save a little on shipping costs too. It's certainly less than planning a trip home when you really want something you remember. :)
Great idea!
Hubs and I were talking about this last night. It's getting to the point where neither of us wants to cook any more!
I'm thinking of making lasagna tomorrow night for dinner and tortilla soup for Saturday. I roasted a chicken day before yesterday so that will do double duty for the soup. Chicken parmesean is a fairly easy change to regular old spaghetti. Sloppy joes are something we forgot about for a while and are new again for us. Oh, and shish-kabobs but I'm just plain tired of grilled food. Bought some shrimp the other day and did a shrimp scampi fetuccini - very fast with just a few ingredients. I can't wait until it gets a little colder just to be able to get back into the soups and stews for a change.
I think it is a great idea.
It is intended and designed for human consumption, and likely will better than that stuff made for bovine.
great idea
I love that idea but I think the grandchildren are doing that for them.. I know they are gathering up as many pictures as they can find. . I'm not sure what price range I'm looking at - my fiance hasn't told me yet.
I think it's a great idea . . .
to host Christmas dinner for everyone. And, I also think you should not apologize or feel you have to make excuses for no gifts. This is going to be a lean Christmas for everyone, and you providing and cooking the dinner is a lot of stress and everyone needs to understand that and be appreciative!!
Great idea
Hi there. I think your daughters will love getting a massage. I used to be a massage therapist, & what I can tell you is that a good masseuse can accommodate anyone's comfort level, from performing a massage with the person fully clothed to all clothing removed and having the person covered by a sheet. There are techniques for maintaining a person's privacy, such as allowing a person to turn over without being seen by the therapist, allowing the person to undress privately & knocking before entering the room. If the masseuse does not do these things, it is extremely unprofessional & you should go elsewhere.
If you have concerns about any of this, you should just talk to the masseuse a little bit beforehand & ask if these are things she can do. If you get the sense she thinks it will be a hassle or will be unable to accommodate your daughters' needs, I would find someone else. No licensed massage therapist (& you should check this as well) should EVER do anything remotely sexual--EVER--& they should always be sensitive to people's levels of comfort. Also the place should be squeaky clean.
What you can expect is a massage that lasts for an hour or whatever you have paid for. You will be shown to a room (a lot like going to the doctor), & the table should be ready with clean sheets. The masseuse should leave while you undress and/or get on the table. She may have a "routine" where she likes to start with a certain side (back or front) first, but she should always ask if the person has any specific parts that need attention, & my suggestion is that if you have a really sore neck or whatever, ask that this be given extra time but don't have the masseuse start there. If she starts on the back, the masseuse will do the legs, back, arms, neck. Very soon into the massage she should ask if the amount of pressure is okay. DO say yes or no. DO say ouch if you have to! Everyone is different. DO say "I can handle more pressure on my neck," or "my back is too sore for that much pressure."
The masseuse should not be yakking during the massage.
Around halfway through she will ask you to turn over & she should hold the sheet up in such a way as to shield you while you do this. Then she will do the front, which is usually legs & arms, possibly upper chest, and neck. I normally did not do anyone's stomach unless I had massaged them many times, & I never touched a woman's breasts other than to move very large ones out of the way while I did her sides, but I did do the axillae and pecs above the breast. After she is done she should leave quietly & give you a few minutes to stay relaxed on the table & get dressed at your own speed.
This is pretty generic, but more or less what to expect the first time.
In the name of due diligence, you can get yourself a massage & try it out! If you don't like the massage, giving a gift certificate for a facial is another way to go that is equally wonderful.
NO! Great idea and this is sm
I think it is VERY RUDE to expect people to take their hard earned money and be EXPECTED to go out and BUY you something!!!! I think it is shallow, selfish and certainly NOT in keeping with intent of the season. The intent of Christmas, in my book, is to be with people you love and celebrate that love. I can't think of a more lovely way to bless the season and those you care about than taking the time to make a lovely meal and a setting for memories...the greatest gift of all.
Great idea!...nm

That's a great idea actually! (sm)
I agree! Even though I don't get along all the time with my extended family, it would beat being alone all the time. You may have to break your lease, oh well. It is happening everywhere right now. You can only do what you can do.
YES! Great idea! (nm)
Great idea! We have not ...
tried that. We've used it to house break dogs before but I never thought of it for this situation. Thanks so much. That idea seems so obvious now that you suggest it.
We'll have to get a huge kennel for him - he weighs 80 pounds.
My idea of a great gift would be a really
nice pair of socks, LOL! You know, a little wool and some weight with some Spandex - mmm. Instant winter comfort.
