Happy Hanukkah by the way!
Does it start today or tomorrow? I have two calendars that conflict each other.

Probably the statement I made saying I'm wondering if this is all there is to life would be sounding like I'm depressed, but honestly I'm not. I've been married for 25 years and I'm a very optimistic person. So much my sister-in-law once told me - "can't you ever be upset about something without trying to find the good in it" LOL, and I do laugh a lot during the day. That's not to say I don't have an occasional "down" time, but in today's world who doesn't. I'm just tired of being "dumbed down" by the news and now especially with all the election coverage. Just getting tired of our news media whores not giving us the truth. That's why I feel like I'm living in a Matrix and this all is not real. I think I will follow the advise of one of the posters and turn off the news for a couple weeks and instead turn on the Food Channel and pet my cat. :-)
EXCELLENT! Whatever you do, please
dont mutilate their claws! I have adopted two lovely males who were butchered in this way and they are OVER-aggressive to compensate for their lack of natural defense.
And this solution really does work. If you say HEY loudly while you spritz them eventually just the HEY will work... they are trainable to a degree.
If you can't get a scratcher box, even a sheet of cardboard will do - good luck!
There is an excellent one, but I don't think

Wow - those are excellent
If I was really into music and guitars or knew anyone really into guitars I'd definitely buy one. The quality of your craftsmanship is excellent!
Hope you do really well with them.
Excellent - way to go for your mom

When my children were teenagers they did not drive at all. Even tho I worked full time, I took then where they needed to go & picked up to return home. Explained to them that if I could not take then, they did not need to go. This included the prom....No discussion, no argument. They understood that I am their parent, not a friend & besides, I was not going to pay insurance for teenagers. My youngest twins graduated in 1986 and after their freshman year in college (no car) I had them take defensive driving. They purchased their own vehicles. The year they graduated high school, several schools in the surrounding communities lost, if I remember, around 10-12 teenagers in car accidents......The twins I am referring to are now 36 years old.
Thanks for your reply.........sm
I understand what you are saying and I was not physically forced, no. But I failed to mention that while I was telling her I was really not comfortable with what she was going to do she sort of got angry and said, "just let me do what I do"! At that point I thought, well I must be completely wrong, after all she is supposed to be the expert, no? I am not yet gray and my natural hair is dishwater drab blonde which is why I do only highlights and not color as I mentioned. And this has never been damaging to my hair. But when I do go gray, I may keep it natural as well ;)
Thanks for reply
Please keep me updated on how things are going for you.

OK--number one, since no one knows me, you don't know that I am interfering, or will ever interfere, just came here to "vent," since this board is anonymous. Have been nothing but supportive of my daughter and kept my feelings about the ex to myself--never say anything critical to my granddaughter. Number two, Emily DID get an Easter basket from her mother--just not a huge one crammed with candy, toys, and unnecessary cr**. My former son-in-law needs to pay his back child support before he buys this type of thing. Number three, my GD's father is the one who has always spoiled her, and my daughter has HAD to be the disciplinarian and "heavy." Finally, for those who said to be more conscientious with dental care, my daughter, who is self-employed, had to beg him to carry dental insurance with his company after Emily was born--he said it was "unnecessary," since he has false teeth and would never benefit from it personally. This is the kind of father he was/is.
Thank you to all who offered kind advice and sympathy.
Thank you for your reply!! sm
I am with you - I guess not many people here scrapbook. It is my passion - and the only thing I splurge on.
I have not tried any of the programs because I usually like to do my own thing, but I have seen some that looked kind of interesting at Target and Wal-Mart. I can't remember the brand. I have been tempted to try one just to see what they had to offer and maybe some more ideas. Thanks for the website - I'm going to check it out.
Thank you for your reply. NM

To which I have to reply...

Thanks for your reply. I could not
agree more. The problem here was not, and I emphasize was not socialization. I know this dog, I know the history and I know the people. Any Rescue group thoroughly checks UT homes before placement. These people in her former placements simply did not know what to do for her after giving all the love they had. It took a long time, and it has been recommended when a dog has this amount of fear to actually lie down on the floor face down so the dog does not fell threatened, let it slowly come closer to you. My friend cried herself to sleep and many days over frustration. She is the one who did not give up.Unfortunately, as you pointed out, money is the bottom line mass breed these poor animals and have them packed in filthy cages with wire bottoms for profit. It sickens me.

What you need to do is take the ink cartridge out of the printer and very carefully shake it gently so the ink is spread evenly. The reason it is not printing uniformly means it is getting low on ink.
thanks for your reply (please see msg)
I hope you don't mind, but I just pasted your answer and sent it to my husband - he is staying the last two nights of the campout and will get my email that is printed out by the staff at the camp facility. I also know that the leaders read the emails before distributing them and I thought your answer was awesome! I want my son to enjoy scouting, not be miserable. If he is going to be miserable, I would rather he not do it at all. I am a Brownie leader for my daughter and have a full-time job so I don't feel I can dedicate a lot of time to Boy Scouts as well but I think I am going to tell my husband and the other leaders that if things do not change, and my husband insists on making my son go to the campouts, I will be going as well.
Thanks for your reply--
-- if you can't understand why I'd be offended by his comment, then I cannot explain that to you. You may be right, he probably knows he would not be my first choice for my daughter and no one is really--she and my granddaughter been hurt enough--I want to tell him (and may yet) that I would die for those girls and I hope he would as well. But he makes them happy, I can accept it.
I second the reply that
was posted in response when this was on the main board . . . the Bisquick recipe is great, although not truly made from scratch

Well, Tooki has a "tude" and " I want it now or ELSE I will be a brat bird -- hence the "Paris name"

I'm 55 and have the same symptoms you had... glad to hear it was successful...
ok, thanks for your reply
he did clearly say 'met,' he was very easy to understand. maybe his tongue slipped and he meant to say meal or something else.

I understand that it is a poor state. It also has no state income tax. I've done as much research as possible for discovery, but I certainly appreciate any and all input. I'm told it's very beautiful. He wanted to go where he could do cross-country skiing, etc.
While all divorces are different, if I mentioned his last name it would stand out big-time. He comes from money, but has never been materialistic (but I was fortunate to have the same situation).. I know he's a saver big-time, so that's my aim. His mother bought a house for him for $130K, which he admitted. It's not revenge, either. I wish him the best. Like Donald Trump says, "It's nothing personal, it's just business." Oh, survival, too!
The irony is that both our families are just about identical. My brother is paying for my $300 per hour lawyer. Full disclosure here...
Thanks for taking time to provide your 2 cents, when you could have been making huge bucks from the Q!

We have tried the kindness thing as well this did not work. The situation at school, at least with my child, was a threat on a child's life and not being sent home right away as well as some other threats about having to eat bread and water due to low $$ in account. It is has to stop. Our children should not have to go to school in fear. They also should not have to worry about eating!! The last one is a real biiggie as several mothers have reported this. THanks all
EXCELLENT joke! *LOL*.........
 
Excellent!!! More women should do this....
    
This is an excellent post.
How awesome that you took so much time to reply to "exhausted" and yes, it's all very good advice. I've been there, done that also. I wish I had this board to come to years ago, but the advice here is right on the money.
I have an excellent recipe if you want it. sm
just make a note under this message, I'll check later and type it in.
that is excellent advice. sm
i guess my will power just isn't very good right now. we have five acres and i try to get out every day and walk our fenced area, which about five or six times around is a mile. i guess i should put up a picture of myself when i was thinner and have that be a motivation
Excellent suggestion

Thank you all SO MUCH for your excellent info!!! sm
I knew I was doing the right thing to ask you gals. After telling my hubby everything you all said and researching online a bit, he and I agree that - although we THOUGHT we were going to DISNEY WORLD, our kids would actually probably like Universal and Sea World. (And my youngest is 48 inches and rides every roller coaster Six Flags will let him on). Looking at the TV/Movie themes between Disney and Universal, I hate to admit it but they all seem to have outgrown Disney a bit. Is there any sense in staying in the Disney resorts for the specials/perks but mostly going (DRIVING) to other parks? Or if just staying off would be better? I just want to spend the money wisely. ![](http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smirlove2.gif")
Excellent post...
This is the same thing we have done with our 19YO...he's responsible, calls and checks in, and is home at a decent hour, so he does not have a curfew. Although, most of his free time is spent with our local Sheriff's deputies...he's yearing to be a deputy one day. Thank goodness he's not quite old enough yet though!
The book was excellent!...sm
I read that when I was around 16 and couldn't put it down. Check it out!

Quite the contrary, it's an excellent and (sm)
proven way to reduce weight and improve your health. There are different phases to low carb. Not all do it for the weight loss, in fact, but the energy and good overall feeling that comes with eliminating processed carbs. If you've never tried it, don't knock it. Once one has achieved their desired weight loss with low carb, they can still maintain a low carb lifestyle without further weight loss. It works and it's proven. The energy that you get back is the biggest plus to this LIFESTYLE - yes, it's a lifestyle, not a "diet."
Wow -these are excellent suggestions
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am 49 years old (feel 69 right now). I'm 189 pounds and lead very very sedentery life. No kids, no activity. I know I need to do some activity but I just can't get motivated. However, I do have an exercise video called Callanetics...very low impact aerobics (slow movements with very relaxing music), so tonight I pulled it out and starting tomorrow going to do that at the end of the work day.
I too have to have my caffeine and one day without it I sure can tell. I'm what you would call "semi-organic" (at least that's what I call it). I refuse to take any medication (not even aspirin when I have a headache). I'm trying to go vegetarian (or more vegetarin) but I do like meat. Just got to lose weight and a bit more exercise.
I'm also ticked as I'm 48 and haven't hit menopause. Bummer big time for me. Just ended my weeklong visit with "my friend" and I can't tell you how much I hate it. I have no kids and don't want any kids ever. Had ectopic pregnancy years ago so only have one ovary and tube and I'm thinking...I'm not a "baby producing machine", yet I'm cursed with these blasted periods. Okay - sorry, that's more of my own emotional problem I have to deal with. I just want the periods to end. Your suggestions of herbal supplements are most interesting and I will be looking into them. Thank you again for your post.
yup it is excellent and dependable
Never had a problem with it in the three years I've been using it.
Oh you wouldn't believe all the free stuff that is available. Whenever I'm looking for something there seems to always be something you can get for free that is equal in comparison (well except a foot pedal and head phones that is. HA HA)
Here's another funny fact - has nothing to do with MT, but DH just found a website and you know all these courses they teach at the big wig universities - you can watch the classes online for free. These are courses from MIT and really expensive universities. So if you were interested in getting your degree completed you could watch the courses, take a test and get your degree for a tenth of what it would cost you to sit in the same lecture class at a fancy university.
That is one thing I love about the internet. There is a wealth of information and knowledge all for free. Talk about living in a great country!
Excellent point!
Excellent response!
Short on time and brain is toast but hey, want to know, keep me in mind and I'll answer too tomorrow probably. I enjoy conversation, even at odds with someone, that is not like what I see up a little further on this page. Thanks.
Excellent post!

But, she and her ex are on excellent terms
They see and talk with each other every week, no animosity there so that is not a problem. If fact when she was here Thanksgiving she had invited him if he were going to be in town.
excellent post.

Thanks everyone - every one of these ideas are excellent
I'm printing them all out and anything that maybe added later.
I'm so used to just going to the grocery store and buying what I need/want. Gone are those days after going to the tax man. My taxes doubled this year and also I'm now stuck with a tax bill for last year, so have got to keep food to 100/week cos that's all that's left. With all these suggestions I know I won't have a problem.
I love the idea of making my own bread. Used to do that as a kid with my mom and also my own pizza dough. Looks like all these suggestions will make meal times fun too.
These are excellent suggestions!
Good suggestions for others who may be facing the same situation down the road.
thanks for reply, but no, not using headphones now.
in fact, i did test the speakers on my 'job' computer and they do work. but i cannot hear sound on a video my daughter sent on my personal machine...so am not sure if i have some settings messed up or if my sound card is gone...or if possibly it is just that video. but i thought i remembered before hearing sounds when you go in and out of e/mail and web pages etc...?? don't want to test for this other job and then find out i have no sound...
Thank you so much for you reply. That sounds

Thank you for the reply and the tips.
Been thinking of going the natural route myself. There sure do not seem to be any good diagnosticians around today like there were years ago. Nowadays, most put the symptoms into the computer and see what comes up. Well, I can do that too!
I've been reading up on the many diseases and syndromes that affect multiple body systems that often go undiagnosed or are treated separately for years, probably partly because everybody is a *specialist* these days.
But the last two I saw actually called each other, so HEY maybe they're finally onto something! lol
Gotta have a sense of humor or it'll make you insane.
Sorry to hear of your problems. And I'm glad you are doing better!
Thanks for the reply..I actually put a "V" on my calander for her. sm
She was actually mortified that I was "signaling" to everyone what was coming, but no one else has noticed it but us. Anyway, I figured with three girls, plus me I needed to start doing that to keep track of everybody later on when they have all started. My husband thinks we should by some stock in Tampax! LOL. Thanks again for your reply.
Standard reply, it seems, but...
I would take her to the vet. When my cat stopped using the litter box, it was because she had cystitis and associated the pain from the infection with the litter box. It might just be because your cat has been outside, but better safe than sorry.
I don't usually reply to things like this, but I have to
with you that even with you he'd do the same? He's not a nice man or he would have told you from the start he was married. He sounds like scam artist, and if I were you, I'd get away from this weirdo.....
