Anybody hooked on the PBS War series?
it's so horrifyingly fascinating and sad. It has a way of taking you back to that time. I had no idea how much the public was lied to by the media about what was going on. I hear it's doing great in the ratings.
HBO series on addiction sm
HBO had an excellent series on addiction.It may be available on the Net someplace. They have what is called the *go* factor in the brain, etc. which stimulates the need for alcohol or drugs. I have attended many different lectures on this and it is very confusing. All I know is that it happens in the very best of families, drugs, alcohol, any feel good addiction can happen to anyone. I have a hard time dealing with it myself since some of my nearest and dearest have problems. All one can do is take good care of themselves and lead by example. This time of year seems to bring it all out - I used to dread Christmas and the loose lips that sink ships, one too many drinkers can ruin a holiday! It's funny in the movies but not in real life, it is a disaster. No one needs to apologize, glad the subject came up, it's a good *remember when* for me. I stopped buying booze several years ago and it is surprising how my guest list has shortened, thank goodness! I feel my life has improved for the better since alcohol is not on my holiday menu. You have to start someplace, why now with your own home sweet home? No more booze served here. A lot of us have walked that walk, it's a tough one.
twilight series
Isn't this really popular right now with teens?
Amen Sister! She is totally unrealistic! Totally. Loved your post! sm
My grandparents (from VT), will tell you that my grandfather began farming at 6-7 under the supervision of his 10 year old brother. haha No major incidents - his mother tended the home and ran a nursery and she did have the siblings watch over each other. I didn't even think about all of this until you mentioned the farming post. I loved it!
I, for one, need plenty of sleep - so I must work during the day while they are here...Oops, I gottah go! My 2 year old just fell off the kitchen table.
just kidding
Cost is approximately $300.00 for series.
Have you read the G.M Ford series with sm
Frank Corso? His very last book "Blown Away" was a cliffhanger, too. I keep looking to see if there is sequal to it, but I fear there isn't one. His other books were fantastic but that last book left me feeling like I need to write the author and beg him to publish a sequel so I know what happens to the main character. Just a warning, if you decide to read his books, read "Blown Away" last. 
Life, partly, is a series
of reality checks that feel sort of like a slap in the face. Our society plays up fantasy big time.
The older you get, the more you realize it really isn't what you thought it was, but you eventually also realize that even if it were all that, the importance all comes down to caring about and being cared for by other people (and animals of course) and the other stuff is kind of empty. :)
I would tell your husband you are feeling like you need a little excitement in your life, and maybe he can come up with something you can do to jazz it up a bit. Even little adventures (like tubing down a river, etc.) can make a world of difference.
Maybe they will create a series! Full House

Anyone else doing Oprah's Best Life series w/diet? sm
I am trying to follow Dr. Bob Green's advice, he said first 30 days of his diet are free, however, others have said, you have to give your credit card # so they can start to bill you after the first 30 days, I refuse to do that. I have been discontinuing the 6 bad foods, however, and doing more of his suggestions. Also, I loved the spirituality 101 workshop and it gave me some insight. I am not weighing myself, notice a little difference in my waistline, not much, but I do feel better and am hoping I can stick to it. Anyone else doing it? Perhaps we can support each other. They said to avoid "sabotage." My husband means well, but I have to keep reminding him and saying "NO" to some things he offers me. He means well, doesn't want me to get sick, but I'm trying very hard to stick to it. I could lose about 15 lbs., but it is sloooow, although this is the way to go, used supplements in the past and it plops right back on you when you least expect it? Anyone else???
Ow about your bite. (sm)
It was confusing to me that when I shrieked with pain, the next thing I heard was DH asking what was wrong and then cursing like a sailor. I thought he was mad at me for shrieking, not knowing he had hurt himself!
I was relieved to know he was just hurt, LOL.
DOG BITE
I find this whole complete thread disturbing. This woman was coming here to vent her frustration and was basically attacked. How sad!!!
I am sorry for your child. It is a terrible incident that I hope you win in court.
Dog owners have a responsibility to take proper care of their dog along with keeping it on a leash. When you take on a pet you take on ALL INCIDENTS that this pet causes. If this dog had torn up property, not a child, and they just offered a couple of dollars for repairs, I would hope that something would be done to get the full amount. yes this is a child which to me seems a little bit more important than property. I would think they should be responsible for the whole $800.
I want to know why who ever it was stated that she should get a fence in her yard? It is not her responsiblity to keep this dog out. It is the owners responsibility to keep their dog on a leash and under their control at all times.
My suggestion would be EVERY single time this dog is loose you call the police or animal control until something is done. In Indiana there is a three strikes and your dog is out law basically. Call animal control and tell them about this neighborhood dog and your daughter. I would really suprise me if it is not picked up.
Good Luck.
Also, in the US, you can sue anyone for anything at anytime. That is the law. It is not like this woman and child are suing over nothing. A dog bite is a serious incident. This dog could potentially kill a small child.
A friend of mine's mom has small dogs (under 10 pounds). One recently bit her child in a serious bite. The dog actually went for her 4 year olds neck!! Her mom was right there when it happened. The child did nothing wrong but bend down to pet the dog. Small dogs can do damage too.
Reading series - Brides of Lancaster County
I love to read!! I like Christian fiction and these books are about the Amish and are soooo good! Author is Wanda Brunstetter. My husband bought me about 60 books for Christmas. I have about four left to read!
That is, Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Series - nm

Go today. Right now. Go to ER and tell them about bite.
zz
yep for up to an hour they can still bite you- sm
there was a story on TV a few months back about some guy in the middle of no where, staying at a remote cabin for a week (was getting picked up at pre-arranged date a week after his drop off there), on day 3 or 4 killed a snake by the house by cutting off its head, and then for some foolish reason decided to pick up the head which is when he got bit. By some miracle he did not die, came darn close though, if his ride hadn't come he would have died though.
All Dogs Can Bite
All dogs can bite. Breed has nothing to do with it.
Your "nice" breed of choice chewed it's owners face off while she was unconcious.
Miss Dinoire, 39, left hideously disfigured after her pet labrador savaged her while she was unconscious after an overdose, said: "I can feel just about everything as I did before. It may be someone else's face, but when I look in the mirror, I see me.

I'll bite
But first I will have to point out the differences between this and a gay person going about their every day life. No gay person is standing on the corner collecting anything, recruiting, or taking one nation under God from anything. They (we) are simply asking to walk our own paths unassaulted. Period. Don't put your hands on us in anger or hate, keep your discriminatory legislation out of our lives, don't key our cars, don't burn our houses, don't threaten our children or have your children threaten our children. If you don't like who we are, don't associate with us. It's that simple. Leave us alone.
With that in mind, no, you would not be shoving anything down anyone's throat unless you're pushing your belief on people who don't want to hear it and who tell you they don't want to hear it. This is fundamentally different than being gay, obviously. Any person who wants to hear a sermon can do so. Any person who wishes do donate money can do so. That is not a lifestyle. That is religion. Gay is not a lifestyle either. Where to people get that crap? The clothing you like, what you prefer for breakfast, the car you prefer to drive or can afford to drive, the type of dwelling you prefer - that is "lifestyle." WHO you are is not a lifestyle.
dogs can bite
ANY dog can bite, and there are attacks that happen that AREN'T pitbulls, so do those breeds need to be put down as well in your mind???
Happy Watching! I'm buying the whole series for myself as a Christmas gift.
Clan of the Cave Bear / Earths Children series
There are now five in the series - Ice Age story thoroughly researched by author Jean Aul. There is a website about these as well. Ayla is one of my favorite characters.
I also am a big Nora Roberts fan.
Spider bite question sm
I've looked on the internet and found the brown recluse spider bite pictures and 2 or 3 match what I have on my legs. Have an appointment tomorrow for the doctor to look at it. My question is: Has anyone had a brown recluse bite? Does it hurt? Does it itch? Did you hot pack it until you were seen? I know-dumb questions but let me tell you, THE ITCH IS DRIVING ME NUTS! I swear, it itches to the point where I want to lance it myself-without pain meds. I'm trying Benadryl cream, Bacitracin, Neosporin cream, hot baths and now a heating pad. They only helps minimally. The one larger lesion has a real dark, dead looking area in the center with red and white around it-it sort of hurts along with the itch-and the other two areas are only red. What to do in the meantime until my appointment?
Possible spider bite update sm
And the diagnosis is (drum roll)----staph folliculitis. I had no idea at all it was so prevalent in this area and due to the fact that I have been on immunosuppressive therapy for years, the bacitracin just wasn't working. Came home with a bottle of Bactrim DS and triamcinolone cream for the itch. Good to know it wasn't a bite.
duhh, dogs bite! lol

I bite my nails, so I get them done short..
they are really not too long, but look better than when I have chewed them all off. Terrible habit, I know, but a very difficult one to break. I quit smoking and didn't really think it was that hard, but I just cannot stop chewing my nails!
Yeah, the True Blood series is basically like soft porn...
definitely not advisable for a 14 year old!!!
mlstoo, update on spider bite please. nm

Glad to hear that it was not a spider bite. I was concerned
x
I'm so happy it wasn't spider bite. Been concerned about you.
a
Doesn't give the dog a right to bite her??? It's a freakin animal.
It doesn't know right from wrong. Geez lady! Doesn't give it a right...lol whatever.
The duhh part was not necessary. My dog doesn't bite. Properly trained
People who have dogs that are not trained shouldn't bring their pets to malls and department stores. The purse dog that barked was misbehaving and needed to be removed and gotten under control or trained better before being allowed to come back into the environment. This does not change the fact that times have changed and pets are being allowed in area that you otherwise wouldn't expect. For many of us who have purse dogs or other types of dogs, we train them right before just taking them to the mall. I've never, ever had a problem taking my dog to the mall, Dillards, Penneys, Sears, the video store, and a whole host of other places. It's commonplace where I live and most people do it so it's really considered normal.
Bite the bullet and go to good salon for recolor. Leave it in

Totally, totally agree.
You feel inadequate and no matter what you do - you feel like it is not enough - and that is depression. Get on some medication, or get some therapy and start taking time for yourself and enjoy life. Been there and done that myself - STOP FEELING GUILTY - you deserve better!!
Superbowl Champs and World Series Champs in Pennsylvania,,,
Way to go Steelers!
And dogs don't bite right? Love my dogs but I

Totally against the war
said it right from the start, told my husband the war was of no use, more and more that is being proven true, hate that young guys are being killed there day after day, the middle east never had as many bombings as they do on a day to day basis now, blood being shed all over the place, the house not wanting to give more money for a no win war, I lived through Viet Nam, no difference here, just different land. Mark my word, different president, the war will be a thing of the past and yet all these fine lives lost.
I am totally
terrified of the draft. I posted earlier about my son wanting to go to Africa next summer and me not really wanting to let him go. I guess you know what my answer would be to the above question so I guess I shouldn't say anything at all.
I was totally going to say
me too!
Oh, but what I've gained ...
(I'll think of something).
Totally think it is really none of your
business that they are working. You don't have any authority and your supervisor is the one to tell them NOT to work. If they have been told not to work and they are, that is between them and the employer.
totally.
My imagination is way too fertile. When someone tells me they are "trying to get pregnant" or they remember the moment their kids were conceived, it's exactly like showing me photos of the deed. Photos I'd way rather not see. ick.
I totally get what you are saying sm
and feel 100% the same way. If I had the means financially, I would help whomever and whenever, my hubby feels the same. However, to not respond to someone who is reaching out to you, I feel, is unforgivable. I would also like to say, give it some more time - you don't know what the situation is and I feel someone who has as big a heart as you obviously have, should hold it open just a little longer.
Totally agree. nm

Totally agree with you!
Santa Claus was a wonderful time for me and my children. I did not suffer any ill effects from knowing the truth. This is a magical time for children. They believe in goblins, ghosts, the Easter Bunny, play friends that only they can see and talk with, fairies among lots of others. Why in the world would anyone want to deny a child the pleasure of thinking they are that important that this man in the red suit is coming especially to give them presents. It really made me feel special but I guess other parents want to cut some of the fun time from the child's life.How sad....
I totally agree with you, well said.
I find that others think since I work at home, they can interrupt me any time they want, I am expected to cover things while they are at work, etc. I want to be left alone during my work hours to do my work. I have worked in offices where you were not allowed to have personal calls during work hours, which is fairly common. I think I am going to disconnect my phone during my work hours. Sometimes I feel by working at home I don't get the same respect for my job than others in my home that work outside the home.
Totally inappropriate.
He sounds like he's good at his job and also at flirting. He is interested in getting to know you better? Why doesn't he just come out and say - hey baby, how about a roll in the hay? Keep us posted if you pursue this. I'd like to know how things go. Believe me, he knows he's good looking. Good Luck and be careful.
Oh, I totally agree with you there...sm
these are the kids my daughter deals with every day, but she understands at their age, they didn't ask for their circumstances. No child at age 8 or 9 should know anything about sex, using the B word, MF word, and other stuff. They can't write a sentence but they can tell her how to get more food stamps, how their older sister had another baby so she could get more money in her check....the stories go on and on. But the point we started out with was GI upset...they can't help being made take meds that make them physically sick.
I am totally out of debt -
house, cars, motorcyles, credit cards. Everything!
It feels great!
I totally agree with you...
Just a curious question. We are only as young (or old) as we feel, right! I am 37 and feel (most days) much, much younger...like I said before, it is a relative question...thanks for your reply!
Totally agree. nm
x
lol, totally NO CLUE..
I'm sure all the neighbors talk about that nut job around the corner who breastfed her very large baby at the ball park! C'mon now...can't even give the kid a juice box or something at baseball time? Something wrong with this picture. I seriously hope she's joking.
