I had something similar happen to me but it was a phone call. Would never have suspected it but it turned out to be true. It is much better to know than to be fooled. Check into it and you will find the truth. I found proof from the cell phone numbers. Very easy to find a pattern. Good luck. I truly hope it is just a prank. Not a fun thing to go through.

Agree...and the gang mentality thing is often quick to surface when challenged. Ignore these

Don't ignore it
How close are you to the niece? I have several nieces and nephews that I am close to. They aren't teenagers anymore, but a few of them went through similar situations.
If it were me, I would first talk to the niece and ask her if these stories are true. Explain that she needs to protect herself - not use birth control pills and condoms but staying away from alcohol and drugs which put her in a dangerously vulnerable situation. Does she understand how many young people will spike her drinks just to see her get loopy?
If you thought she was playing Russian roulette, you wouldn't hesitate to get involved - talk to her and then talk to your sister.
Best of luck to you - I really do understand your feelings.
Please ignore the meanies
You obviously needed support/comfort today, and I'm sorry that certain posters who did not have anything nice to say would not just skip your post.
I do hope your ex will change his mind and let your son visit, for you and for him. If not, my hope is that you will be able get through the disappointment and try to look forward to the next time he is able to visit. It sounds like it is best not to "argue" with your ex on this, and perhaps by "turning the other cheek", so to speak, and not letting him know you are upset with him personally about this, just disappointed, he may let your son visit for part of the summer??
Whatever happens, try to keep your chin up and look ahead.
Please ignore the above post
My hubby often does not listen to me but I know for a fact he is not having an affair.
I have just quit listening to him as well. It has become a joke in our family. Not to make light of your situation, I know yours is more serious, but don't assume he is having an affair. I guess it is possible, but how the above poster "knows" he is having an affair is ludicrous.
why not just ignore my post and be on yours

a little too coincidental to ignore...

My ignore list.
Any kind of meat
Sweet Potatoes
Yams
Pizza (sadly, that is a recent addition. My stomach can't handle it)
Raw eggs
Plain iceberg lettuce
Plain hazelnuts (which I just recently discovered are aka "filberts." Ha.)
Unsalted peanuts
Boca burgers
I'll only eat tofu if it's in a very spicy Thai dish
Totally inappropriate, but I think I would probably ignore it.

Ignore the trolls....they are just looking to cause a stir.
I wish everyone could be guaranteed the day off from work to do with as they wish.
it IS MOST rude to ignore any RSVP....got it?
I would totally ignore them. Difficult as it is
if you do not give them a moment of attention or let them know you are offended - they will eventually stop. Why play their game - stoop to their level? Then they have won
She's just trying to stir stuff up - ignore her - sm
Notice she didn't mention having to chase after and care for children.
Maybe her kids are grown. I don't know about you but I am always on the go with the kids. My mom rarely had time to do stuff with us when we were kids and WE cleaned HER house too.
KitKat sounds like a troll.
oh, it occurred to her, she chose to ignore it...
and these people had to pay $7000 income tax on these vehicles so most of them sold the vehicles instead. However, giving a car isn't as bad as a plasma TV in my mind for the homeless because at least they could sleep in the car(s)......cellphones and plasmas for the homeless made no sense whatsoever to me.
I would just ignore and move on, she sounds - sm
a bit confused, is dementia setting in both mom and the grandma, or are they just drauma queens? As for both of your kids going to a birthday party, who cares, if only one is invited what is the big deal, maybe the kid inviting is not friends with the brother, or there is a big age difference, etc. I have 2 girls and don't take both of them to the party that only 1 was invited to, very bad manners as you point out to invite your other child so they "don't feel left out", which sounds like your mom and grandma think. Maybe your younger son is more spoiled than the first one (hard not to do) or is more social and has more friends. Totally screwy. I'd just invite her, not ask her about it, and just go on like nothing happened.
If you're sure it isn't true, ignore it
It's certainly an easy way for someone to try to make trouble for your husband. I wouldn't pursue trying to figure out who sent it. Don't give them the satisfaction.
I was taught to "always ignore the ignorant."
Unfortunately, I've run into people like that before, and I just ignore the comment, make nice chit-chat for a few minutes and "see you later alligator." At least, I demonstrated what my values are and did not degrade myself to their level. The main word here is "ignorant." There are so many people out there that are ignorant of their own manners, ignorant of other people's feelings, just tactless mules.
I really think a lot of it is just to get a response. Ignore the unfounded remarks and let's SM
just go on as usual praising the dogs and all the things that make us smile!!!! 
it seems awfully hard hearted for people to say to ignore him...
After all, he is your dad. I do not know what you should do, but I don't think that cutting him out of your life is going to help him any. Sometimes, I think people do things for attention because they need attention.
Quick!
Introduce this witch to a different guy with more cash before it is too late. See if she goes for it. If she doesn't, then I guess you are stuck with her. This seems to be extremely weird, considering their ages and since my husband is older than me at 65 I asked him wht he thought and he said he knows of no guys his age who would agree to this huge wedding thing at that age and wasting all that cash, it is like "Look at me, look at me." So, why does she need all this attention at her age? Something is wrong here, and I wish you well. Does your dad have a buddy he would listen to?
Wow that was quick! Thanks
so much Hayseed.
a quick suggestion
when i was a kid, i got a thrill out of stealing dumb stuff, pens, markers, etc. When my mom found out, she made me take my stuff back to the store and hand it back to the owner, and apologize. I was quaking in my shoes at that point. Don't know if that would help in your situation or not...
tell me quick what this says, don’t have the time
right now to read this. Biting my fingers because cannot read until after work at 8. Thanks
Quick note sm
I think he is incredible, yes, but he is a bit of a perfectionist and even loveingly complains when we don't keep the house "clean enough" or "yardwork needs to be done". I have always said he will either make a wonderful husband or drive his wife crazy. LOL!!!
quick, someone! we need a new survey or
fill in the blanks list to have fun with !!! Anybody? I so bored.
Hmm, I have a quick answer to that one.

Because Americans want a quick fix
>>I don't understand why people will take a med if its something that will run its course and your body will take care of.
They don't want to suffer with ANYTHING - illness or otherwise. It's all about instant gratification. Fix me now, with the least amount of effort on my part. A pill for weightloss, a pill for depression - suck out my fat. How many people take drugs for diabetes or high blood pressure or cholesterol - when diet and exercise would fix the problem? I understand that not everyone with those problems can be fixed without medication - but many, many could be.
we also make a quick
salmon soup....drain most the juice, add about 2 tbl of butter to the meat in the pan, salt, pepper, and then add a can or so of milk and heat. eat with saltines crushed in it too. lots of omegas, warm, quick and tasty.
Quick Wii question...sm
Okay, I've looked all over the boxes and i've even asked the guy at Best Buy who was obviously hasn't worked there long. Anyways, we got a Wii for my son for Christmas - once he takes it out of the box, can we just plug it in and play or do we need batteries for any of the remotes?? If so, what size and how many?? TIA
my quick question..
Why do you think it is okay for someone else to make decisions for this mother and her child. She is not refusing treatment, just seeking a different treatment. That is her right, not some judge. Whether we agree with her decision or not, it is still their decision. this is just one more govt intrusion into our personal lives. Any time the govt makes decisions for one, it is just another step closer to controlling us all. I would most definitely not turn this mom in.
Oh my you're quick!
(), what in the world is that?
if you hit *post quick reply * - sm
at the bottom it gives you an option to create/edit profile id. click that and profile away!!
The quick and easy way to find out is to do it - sm
Go get one and fill it up, count them and then give away all the chocolate. Or you could be cheap about it, go into Wal-Mart or wherever with the PM box, fill it up with the bags of Kisses and see how many bags fit, and figure it out using the servings per bag, adding a little extra of course since your test run was in bags. Good luck.
Don't watch AI, but have a quick ? What's going on? Are you guys saying sm
that there are "false" voters out there? People voting for the worst as a joke or something? I've read all the posts about AI and it leaves one confused who isn't following the show. Just curious as to what is going on and why people are saying it's ruined. I don't know a thing about this Sanjaya guy (kinda glad I don't either!) from the looks of it.
I, for one, the romantic that I am, will be watching the new season of the Bachelor which started again Monday.
Ooh that doctor is HOT, HOT, HOT!!If only I were single again.....just kidding......
I use only for emergency and quick calls. Pay $100 for yr.

I just did a quick search and everything I read--sm
says anemia, pica, or low iron...of course it also mentioned pregnancy cravings...so, ummmm. LOL
Not hashbrowns but a quick dessert
1 box angelfood cake mix
1 15 oz. can of crushed pineapple
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with a baking spray.
In a mixing bowl, mix the cake mix (only) with the can of crushed pineapples. Pour into baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes - until top is beginning to brown. Let cool, cut, enjoy. This is a weight-watchers recipe, I believe.
Thank you so much - some of us are quick to judge and offer
I really appreciate those who have give good advice and hope to help my DD. To those who suggested it was too late, 22 is just the beginning of life IMO, especially if you have been in college and the like. For reasons I do not care to go into, my DD could not work while going to school and so now that she has her own money, well you can figure it out!
PMS & extreme stressors - any quick fix?? (sm)
I always have bad PMS but this time I am also having some outside stressors that are causing me a lot of anxiety. I am trying to work but I am so unsettled I can barely concentrate. If I had time to make a doctor's appointment and get some valium or something I would - but does anyone know any natural remedies I can use for now??
Ok, give me a quick course in texting
My daughter has gone to Mexico and I get a text message from her. Ok, i am 1 of these older people and have never sent a text message in my life, took a long time just finding out how to read hers. Now folks, tell me how to send her one back. She would be AMAZED as she knows I do not know how to do this. I could say ladadedada. thanks?
First off, don't be so quick to get meds. You just sound like a sm
disorganized person who finds it hard to concentrate. It's called stress. I think too many people are running to the doc for a cure all/fix all, when all they really need is peace of mind and a less hectic schedule. It can be done. As far as the disorganization, start one room at a time. One closet. One cupboard, etc. I had to do this. I was told I was "crazy," which is worse than someone saying ADD. I don't think I'm crazy.
Prayer and church is the one thing that helped me tremendously having never been to church growing up. I'm not throwing religion in your face, but something has to be said about these miraculous changes I've been through since "finding God." He's helped me in every single area of my life including the "craziness, disorganization, beating myself up for wandering when I should be working."
I think the meds suppress the actual symptoms. I've had to deal with much deeper issues and insecurities in my life - always chasing things I shouldn't be chasing after.
Anyways, the kids need me so I better run! I just don't like people telling you that you need meds. I've NEVER taken a medication for anything mental-related. Never. And I have never been happier and more accepting of my life - disorganized or not! The freedom it gives you to accept yourself the way you are is priceless!! it really is.
I just did a very quick google search and...sm
several people said scrubbing nail polish remover worked for them (not for others). Unfortunately, you seem to have quite a mess to deal with. IF it does work, maybe you could get the girl to come back and help clean it up? A good chance to teach the girl that inappropriate behaviors bring consequences, a lesson she does not seem to be learning from her parents. Good luck with that carpet.
Just did a quick check on ebay
On the completed listings from June 27, there were 16,806 items up for sale (not all sold). Off the Wall and Thriller albums (combined) sold for $62. Thriller alone sold for $55.
On the active items, there are 41,102 items up for sale! Off the Wall and Thriller (combined) is up to $202. Each single item is selling for $60-$80. It's crazy. A lot of these items are owned privately, but those that have a business dealing with music, posters, etc. would have to pay a royalty on those items to the estate.
Oh, yeah, one crazy seller was trying to sell a 45 record for $300! No takers.
Need gift ideas quick for my sister-in-law!
She is a huge wine lover and drinks mostly red wine. I had ordered her a wine bottle cooler that cools the wine quickly, because I thought she drank white wine sometimes as well. I just found out from my brother that it is only rarely that she drinks white wine and that most of her friends drink red wine too so the wine bottle cooler may not come in handy for entertaining very often. The cooler is already en route to my house, so now I am trying to think of something else to get her. She is very connected with her Spanish heritage, and she has extremely good taste in home decorating. She has almost everything she needs already, but any ideas would be most appreciated! Thanks!
Oh, your poor thing. I hope your cat gets well quick!

Quick and easy...tastes delicious, but
Start by boiling one box of Santa Maria pasta--or any kind that looks like a large piece of rice. Drain. Put in a large bowl and add one to two large cans of chicken. Drain some of the juice off of the chicken, but leave some also for the chiken salad. I usually drain the chicken and then use a fork to cut up the pieces in the can and that usually produces more juice and than I add it to the pasta. Next add one jar of Marzetti slaw dressing and 1/2 cup of Mayo. Mix well. This mixutre will look like a giant bowl of soup at this point. Cover and put in the frige over night, or if making in the morning put in frige for entire day until dinnertime. Take out of the frige and mix well. It will now be thick like chicken salad is supposed to be! At this point I usually add some almond slivers and serve on croissants or other yummy breads. I know this sounds really wierd, but it tastes wonderful and is so easy to make.
Too many factors to give a quick answer
Is there verbal, emotional, or physical abuse in the marriage? Drug or alcohol abuse?
How mature is your son for his age? How emotionally stable is he?
sometimes people are too quick to diagnose this as the problem (sm)
Sometimes it is, but sometimes it is not. I would hate for anyone to have their child wrongly diagnosed!
It might be Benny Parsons from doing a quick search. nm

Edgy posts are here, just have to be quick to read them as they

thank you so much for the quick response. Would this pose a problem for me in the future?? nm
not a quick fix, but get some progesterone cream and use it daily; will help PMS in the long run. n
