mixed drinks . summer or winter?

Both my parents took it early but I mean 5 years early - sm
as you are only talking a year I would wait as you will get more money in the long run, versus taking it a year early. Remember it stays at whatever it will be when you take it early the rest of your life. So if it is $500 at 65 but $600 if you wait, I'd wait. My mom started drawing it at 62, she died at 68, so if she had waited she would not have made up the difference; so in her case it paid to take it early, but most of us don't plan on dying shortly after retiring.
My dad drinks a lot...or at least I think he still does...
but I am not really sure now because I live so far away...and I miss him terribly and I worry. Sometimes, just from my point of view, I think that we might not fully understand what makes people do what they do and we need to love them anyway. It doesn't make the bad things they have done or the disappointment go away, but it does make me feel better. Also, with the health problems, you might not have that long to see him, so why not take advantage of every minute. He couldn't have been all bad. I'm not saying you should buy him a 12 pack, but maybe try to accept him as an imperfect man. Everyone has faults, even our parents.
Drinks for the team
I brought drinks and snacks for the team and my son got his drink and snack, as well. It is not my fault that you MTs do not understand what is natural and insist on the status quo. My kids are better off for the choices that I made
but I don't like sweet drinks, have sm
always been interested in the enhanced ones, and read the labels. Too sweet for me. This is their Smartwater (same company, Glaceau). It is unflavored, just electrolyte enhanced. I love it.
I want one of those drinks with a little umbrella!

Kids and diet drinks...
My son is having some dental issues and I would like to switch him over to sugar-free drinks...anyone know of any contraindications to an 8 YO consuming artifical sweetners? He doesn't drink many soft drinks, mostly Gatorade and sweet tea, milk and water, but I'd like to put Splenda in his tea instead of sugar. Thanks, y'all!
yeah, the kind that come in drinks. NM
.
Try the Starbucks bottled drinks at various vendors.
Really good and I don't care for coffee at all.
Ok, sounds good, but what about the warm drinks? nm
..
Oh please, a few drinks occasionally never hurt anyone, and may even cause some 'fun'
gosh forbid! I think those of you with these totally one-sided bad attitudes about alcohol have just had some very bad experiences with alcoholics. Most responsible adults can have a couple of drinks. Give me a break! We're all grownups here.
I need recipes for pretty, fruity, fun drinks
or coffee drinks. My sons, their dates, and two other couples of coming to our house tonight after the senior prom. They plan to play Dance, Dance Revolution and watch movies on the big screen. Of course, they asked me about it only an hour ago! I'm happy to have the kids over, but wish I had a little time to plan. I will stay up when they are here and will make them breakfast. I have one of those waffle makers that you see at hotel breakfast buffets, so they will have waffles and other breakfast goodies, but I thought it would be fun to serve them some pretty drinks in some of my fancy glasses that I never use. Nonalcoholic, of course! I think I'd like to make up two pitchers, something fruit-based and something coffee-based.
Does anyone have any good recipes?
None for mixed breeds willing to help.nm

Mixed feelings
I had extremely harsh and unforgiving feelings toward ANY sexual misconduct/abuse situation.
Then, one of the young boys in my family was found guilty of such.
It has split and torn my entire family apart.
The agony of loving this young man and despising his act is killing the soul. His parents are especially suffering.
Before I was in this situation, I simply felt we should put them all to death. Now, I'm not sure what to believe.
I do believe he should pay his consequences and I am relieved that the court has to do this terrible job. They can be objective. It is harder when you know the individual.
I want him to suffer the consequences of his actions. I want him to rightfully bear the conviction, the shame, the social retribution for it.
At the same time, I want him saved, rehabilitated, redeemed.
He is mortified of how he will be treated for the rest of his life. I remind him that one reaps what they sow.
I have great sympathy for him, for his victims (this was sexual misconduct, not rape), for all of us in this situation.
I'm not sure why I'm even posting this other than remind everyone: The persons who commit these acts are someone's child, too, regardless of age. Someone loves them, too.
Sorry, got your post mixed up with sm
I read another post where a vet was involved, sorry. I do have experience though with depressed family members (some vets) and my parents would get depressed as well over money, so I know what you're going through. The sad thing is they didn't try to help themselves and I let it weigh heavy on me and like you, I could not enjoy things myself sometimes. I know what you're going through. You have to tell yourself, you didn't cause it and can't change it, as much as you want to. Just keep praying, it does help! Pray that they "get the message."

I have mixed feelings on this subject. I think a lot of it has to do with the owners but maybe there is something about the breed too - not sure. But yesterday a friend of ours had to shoot his neighbor's pit bull. . The dog was known to be mean and is usually kept inside but it was out and came after our friend's 2y/o grandchild. He got the child inside and when he looked out, the dog was going after another neighbor's child. He got his gun and shot it. . However, I will say, the owner of the pit bull is a known drug dealer and not a very nice person, so that could be why the dog was so aggressive.
Is your pit mixed with boxer?
He looks like my boxer a bit
to me, the girl definitely looks mixed -
In the one picture I saw, the girl is mixed. the boy, I agree that could go either way, but I still say if he says it is his, then its his. Never saw the baby in pictures.
Or stand there with a sign *drinks on the blouse* - I mean house.....!? LOL

One year I mixed up all the 4 kid's names
example.. put Debbie's name on Scott's gifts, Scott's name on Mark's gifts, etc. Just let them keep shaking and guessing on the presents.. that were not even their own... It was a real payback for Mom and Dad to see the looks on their faces on Christmas when they recieved their real gifts, with the wrong names on them and they realized they put all that work into guessing and trying to figure out what was in boxes that were not even theirs! LOL
Honestly I have mixed feelings on this.
On one hand...I feel it is your body, you can do what you wish. Who should say what you do with your body. Providing it is willing, agreeing, consenting adults, that should be their choice.
On the other hand...I think some, if not many, who get into prostitution, it is a bad life...they have low self esteem, no respect for themselves...and they are at their lowest and do not know what to do or where to turn. Many times they are so involved with drugs and alcohol, they can not think clearly.
But at the same time...the ones who are "low", are going to do what they can to make money....whether it is prostitution, selling drugs, stealing....illegal or not, they will do it if they are that desperate.
Heck, there are women and men out there selling thier bodies, making good money...or at least money...why not make it legal so you can tax them!
I think I'd add some mixed shredded cheeses & scallions to this. Yum! nm

You are soooooo wrong, mixed marriage
mixed kid. I am saying we should NOT under any circumstances be paying for feet bath just because of their religion. We are not allowed to have anything religious put up, be it a cross, nativity scene at Christmas, the 10 commandments. Why in the crap should they be treated different. Wake up and smell that strong coffee that is brewing and I do not mean Starbucks.
Oops - got my name and subject line mixed up above
Guess its time to call it quits. :-) The two are backwards.
Whether full pit or mixed pit, loads of shelters will NOT
let them be adopted out. I was at a shelter the other day, lady came in wanting to retrieve a pit her daughter had taken from her home in a drug bust. The person was told could not let go, it was a pit and the woman said but it is not full and the answer was NO difference, mixed, full they are a danger to society and the people who would adopt know this. The shelter has sign on door (pits have green signs on their individual place) and the sign says no pure or mixed pits adopted out. Don’t you just think maybe these people who have had experience with the breed probably onto something? Naaaa, people just want to keep thinking otherwise. Your life, not mine.
I got a vase of roses and other flowers mixed in ...sm
delivered from the local florist to my house. It was sweet.
Years ago had a mixed breed (1/2 pit) and he was allergic to the carpet! sm
We tried everything and finally had to put in outside. My husband built this beautiful kennel for him. He actually thrived outside! I missed having him to snuggle with, but seeing how his health improved outside it was the best for him.
I love Bell's Seasoning mixed in with mine.
...along with the ol' standby's of mayo, onions, black pepper, and I line my bread with cranberry sauce.
Now I'm really really really hungry!
I think it tastes burnt. But I do like their iced coffee drinks, full of milk and sugar, LOL. nm

My son loves fruit juice with vanilla yogurt mixed in, over ice.

Too early for me
not an entire hair but head-full of hair.
Get up early
I have a 20 month old and a 4 year old and have been doing this since they were born. I have their toys in the same office and have them confined to a couple of rooms of the house. I get up early and get a good part of my day in before they even wake up. Then, I take a break for lunch (breakfast, get dressed, etc.). Then I finish up the rest while they play or watch cartoons. It really works out pretty well, although at times it is trying. I just try to remind myself it is better for them to be home with me.
It was in the early 90's
And that hospital was known for its psych ward, and just happened to be the closest one to where I worked. I don't recall what tests they did (but they didn't want to do many on an ER basis, I remember that, so they were pushing me to become an inpatient). Mostly they just sat and asked me questions, decided it wasn't life-threatening (and possibly not even "real'). Maybe I sounded crazy because I was scared enough by it to go there in the first place. As they took it so lightly, and I realized I could function with it (though it was distracting), I decided to just let it be. I was embarrassed because nobody I knew had ever had something like that, and it did sound "crazy" when I started telling people it felt like there were worms or bugs crawling beneath the skin of my scalp and face...and now the ER thought I needed the psych ward....so I decided to quit talking about it. Which turned out the be the thing to do, in my case.
Early as possible
Consequences of choices should be taught as soon as they can hear. This is an important concept in so many ways. It is basic and teenagers grown-ups who have not learned it in childhood don't usually commit suicide over an insult even though they may have major problems with "shaking it off." I believe, again, that there was more than meets the eye in this case. If you never learned in childhood you should make it your priority to learn it now and share it with everyone you know. This was not a "gesture" of suicide, which is often a reaching out for help and/or attention. The method chosen was lethal.
Thank you - can you tell me what the early (sm)
signs or symptoms were? I do let my son pretty much wear what he wants and have his hair how he wants. I have been asking him to get it out of his eyes and I don't want to let him wear old shirts with stains but I'm very lenient with him. When the clothes are in the laundry though, there is not much I can do. I guess I could put him in charge of making sure they are clean? As far as early symptoms, was it anything like this? My son would get very upset if I moved any pictures on the walls or rearranged any furniture and he had a fit if I got my hair cut enough that he could tell a difference, this was up until he was about 5 or so. But he is a very good child, never really gets in trouble, has friends though he is very selective about them so has just a handful.
No, she's in her early 30s.
I love Grey's, too - Thursday nights, my work has to wait until it's over - completely addicted!
Through the rumor mill, I also heard that Patrick Dempsey was going to leave the show because he wanted more time with his family and to further his movie career. If that happens, I'm not sure I'll still be into it as much, but Eric Dane would still be a pretty big pull.

We usually go end June or early
July, but this year we waited until the first week of August and was already better on crowds!
Early August in AL
August 7 in the Prattville AL area.
Absolutely no way. I am in my early 30s and......
have a secret crush on my dentist who is in his 60s. Younger guys are too immature and don't know a thing...
Yes I am sure, retire early and take your - sm
benefits at a reduced rate. This is from the yearly SS Statement I get in the mail. Also in teh "Before you decide to retire" section; "If you choose to receive benefits before you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be permantely reduced. However you will receive benefits fora longer period of time." (in theory of course). This is from my statement dated August 20, 2007; I kind of doubt it has changed. I remember when my parents decided to take it early; they did not really need the money but figured what the hey, and in my mom's case it worked to their benefit. You need to do the math and figure out the year to income ratio of the difference, etc. In my case, if I take it at 62 I would get $640 a month, wow; but if I wait until I am 67 I get $914-- $274 is not a huge difference but it is to many; and a fair amount to me even now. If I wait until I am 70, I get $1134 -- $220 more a month; now I doubt I'd hold out for that, but I guess it will just depend on my health and financial situation at that time. In order to make that money/break even on my benefits I'd pass on until I was 70; I would have to live until at least 82 to have made the 32K I would have gotten had I taken the $914 at age 67. ---So in my case I sure I will take it at my specified age of 67. I like working and keeping busy. Everything will be paid for then, so I am sure I will be able to live on earnings from a PT job until I decide to collect SS. But I have a ways to go as I am only 42!
No wonder I got my period early!!
:)
My doc says it's early hearing loss. sm
I went in 2 weeks ago for my check up and complained about the ringing in my right ear. He said it's early hearing loss and if it bothers me to see the ENT and get a hearing test done. LOL-like I have time for that right now.
Central PA ~ It's been snowing since early a.m.
Could get up to a foot at least from what I heard. So don't like hearing that!
I am talking very early 60s and only available for married
then, was told that by a physician who said could not prescribe UNLESS married, in fact the year was 1962. I have no idea when Planned Parenthood started but as a young girl had no knowledge about that. Things have changed for females so much over the years.
Have guy cousins in early 20s and my nephew
is 17. They shop a lot at Macy's. We're in the NY area. Apparently certain brand names are "in" like Ecko, Sean John, Polo, etc. but can be very expensive. As far as hairstyles, maybe check out the hairdos on some of the clothing/store websites. Here's one from Macy's. If I lived near you; I'd help with the makeover :) Sounds like fun. lol
