Final installment - You need to read what I said again -

In Reply to: Sorry, I did not miss the point.. - My concern
I said NOTHING about getting back together or a fairy tale ending. This is about HER being able to move on 4 years after someone beat her. It is about being able to say what needs to be said and letting the chips fall where they may. I get it. Seen this in action in my own family. I also know that often without help these ladies often choose the very same type of men over and over. Everyone deserves better in life. I hope she finds peace.

So - here is the final story (sm)
The insurance company is givig them $1250 towards carpeting. They were told their premium will not increase now. However, if they were to have another "accident" in the next 3 years, their premium will increase 10%. So, that's the deal.
After a divorce is final...
After a divorce is final...what are your thoughts on the mother and her child requesting that their names be changed back to her maiden name?
"Traditionally, courts ruled that a father had an automatic right to have his child keep his last name if he continued to actively perform his parental role. Although there is still some bias in this direction, it is no longer strictly true. Now a child's name may be changed by court petition when it is clearly in the best interest of the child to do so. When deciding whether to grant a name change, courts consider many factors, such as the length of time the father's name has been used, the strength of the mother-child relationship and the need of the child to identify with a new family unit (if the change involves remarriage). The courts must balance these factors against the strength and importance of the father-child relationship. What this all boils down to is that it's up to a judge to decide which name is in the child's best interest."
What would really be in the childs best interest if he doesn't grow to know his father anyway? keep the last name? or change it?
It started out with the final four SM
Katee, Courtney, Joshua and Twitch. Then they did the first elimination, which was Courtney and the second was Katee.
Then down to the final TWO: Joshua and Twitch.
JOSHUA IS THE FINAL WINNER!!!! $250,000 PRIZE!
I dearly loved Twitch too! When Joshua won Twitch hugged him and he held up Joshua's arms!!!
But now they may make less on the final movie (sm)
 I personally may not go see it just in protest of the way she went about all of this. It was strongly marketed to children and I see no reason that Dumbledore, a fictional character who was given no sexual orientation throughout the books, now needs to be deemed as gay. Who cares one way or the other? He's not even real! I suppose it is because she wants her books and movies to become a cultish type thing that will continue to produce money for her for years to come as people pore over her books trying to find clues that evidence Dumbledore's sexual orientation. It strongly discredits her in my opinion and I am sure in the minds of many other parents of her child fans.
Final place, unless we win the lottery! (nm)

Divorce is final insurance is gone
Once you are divorced, you are off of his insurance unless you COBRA over but yo have to do that immediately. He cannot add her without being married and if he does this under the table, it is insurance fraud and both of them can get into trouble. If he is behind on his support, don't trust him on anything else. All she has to do is to call his HR department or if she knows what insurance they had while married, call them. Beware of him he does not sound to be above board and legitimate.
Divorce final today
Just feeling a little down, as my marriage is officially over as of this morning. I'm okay; just a little sad. Any of you "been there, done that?"
Adam and Gookey in the final
,,,,,,,and Adam to win!
I agree with I think Melinda & Jordin will be the final 2 but...sm
would love to see Blake go next. I'm tired of hearing these guys who don't sing better than you can find at karaoke keep singing week after week. It's about time Phil & Chris went home!
Thought Idol final excellent
I had never been a Tony Bennett fan- think i have changed my mind. What a performer! Loved the Reuben and Jordin duet, wonderful! What about Gladys and her backup group? Unbelievable! Kelly looked far too punk, ugh, did not like her getup! I think the public finally got it right in Jordin. She will do great. Overall show gets the thumbs up from me.
great final show as was DWTS also....
Final season of Battlestar Galactica!
Heck of a ride that series has been! 
Yes it was gone during sentencing and REALITY final sank in
He has gotten away with too much, road rage incident, a domestic situation when his daughter called the cops on him and others. He is a loose cannon and finally got shot down.
Our little burg here in lower NY state does this, too, and the final concert is usually
s
OMG I so agree!! I had hoped for Zack/Dick final
I HATE THE FACT THE DONATOS WON - I want to vote at cbs site for Eric to push Daniele to win because then she and Dick will be at each other's throats once again - because he'd probably want half the $$ if it all goes to her. *LOL* - money matters and family often cause problems *laughs*
Why not give him some rings to choose from and let him make the final decision?
Some guys want to say they picked it out. Makes them proud to say they did so. Ultimately, it is not really about the ring, the wedding, or any of that. It is about how you two will live your lives together. Congratulations!
Kim is great... I wish she could come and decorate my home.. Loved what she did on the final challan

If I don't read before I go to sleep I can't fall asleep. I will read sm
until I begin to fall asleep. They say reading relaxes you fully and it works wonders for me.
I used to suffer from insomnia, but not since I've been doing this - about 5 years now.
Plus, I've grown so much and have gained wisdom by doing so. I enjoy Christian books and reading the Bible.
Has anyone read
I read it last week and just wondering if anyone else has. I thought it jumped around a bit but it was interesting to get to know more about her and I enjoyed hearing about Dr. Phil. They seem genuine.
I just read, it's $360................
@
read again
You were so quick to respond and try to tell me my daughter WILL have bad behavior that will make her in danger for STDs that you didn't even read, I said he told me the NEXT day. Just because some people have no control doesn't mean we all don't. There are still virgins on their wedding day out there....even though that may be a SHOCK.
I have read and re-read --sm
my posts and I seriously wonder how you ever got that I thought surgery was the only way to go when all I said was that some of these reports were *created* by insurance companies who do not want to pay for ANY care concerning carpal tunnel if it was an over use issue. But whatever...that is not what I meant. All I meant was than insurance companies tend to manipulate reports to THEIR benefit, not the patient's. Surgery or no surgery...that is the individual's choice and not my concern. Sorry you did not UNDERSTAND what I was saying.
you believe everything you read????
/
I have read all of them...sm
and there was one person who said many times that they believe he did this because he was taught anti-americanisms while he was in school in korea (kindergarten, first, and second grades) or had been taught it by his korean parents. Hate has no nationality. That's all I am trying to say.
Sorry, should read
do that....
I read this in SOD, but (sm)
I thought they only tape about a week ahead, so I thought since it's been a week, he might show up today. Oh, well, I can wait.
Did not read below but if you have an outside - sm
box on your house, anyone can creep into your yard and plug in a computer and go to town. You can put a lock on it, ours looks like a small gray box attached to the house about 8 x 8 inches or so, open it up and you will see phone jacks, it is how the repairmen check the lines, etc. w/o coming inside. Anyone could just run a long line and sit in a car nearby and do it too, but depending on where you live I think this would be noticed. If it happens consistently still check it out, see if some kid/night owl is hacking in this way by getting up in the hours it happens and see if someone is doing this, if so problem solved (call the police obviously if you see this happening); if this is not the case, then maybe take your phone off the hook at night, I would think then they would not be able to hack into it w/o a dial tone. I hope you get this resolved quickly.

that Maine has the highest consumption of Allen's in the 48 contiguous states.
Never heard about Allen's and milk, but I'm from away, too. I learn new things all the time up heyah.
Lobstah, blueberries, pahtatahs and Maine's champagne: Allen's. Gives new meaning to "The Way Life Should Be"!
Can you read
any words like Budweiser or beer? There is certainly nothing wrong with the draft horses working with a cart, and your kids really aren't going to think "beer" when the look at it. If people are going to be over and might think about it, or if it bothers your husband, maybe there is a wood filling product that could fill in any words that refer to beer or pictures of beer bottles, etc. Maybe you could then use stain or a rosemaling (painting technique) design over it, or whatever would complement the style. It sounds really cute to me.
EVERYONE PLEASE READ - SM

Is it something you would read again?
I was just thinking that I could just go to the library, but sometimes I like to read books over again - after waiting a sufficient amount of time so that I forget all the details! Is the series something you would go back and read again?
Yes, I will probably read them again
Loved the books better than the movies, but the movies were okay.
OK, read it again and again, still don't get it...
Must be me...oh well!
I read that to mean
there should be no drinking age like in Europe. Not that there should be no drinking. My two high school kids went on a school trip to Italy and Greece in April. They said the only teenagers getting obnoxiously drunk were the Americans and the Canadians teens were drinking but not to excess. Also all the Canadian kids smoked cigarettes too.
I just read about that!
All sorts of elements when combined or heated will cause noxious fumes and those symptoms. Even some welders have to wear respirators and breath canned oxygen when working with some metals. Can't wait to hear more about it though!
Er, um, that should have read....
"Having your own teeth SHOULDN'T have to be considered a luxury." I'm sure you knew what I meant though. Frosts my tuckas it does.
from what I have read this is an
"emotional affair". You are better off letting it go and finding a friend that can talk to you without it being a secret.
Would you read....
your spouses/SO diary? Or do you consider that an invasion of privacy?
What if you suspected your spouse/SO was involved in something (drugs, cheating, theft). Would it make it ok then?
Read into it what you want
To your email- I was not suggesting anything- was telling like I said. End of story.
I have them too - read something
cannot remember now - big help, I know. Look on the internet.
Before looking at a used car read this...sm
Look at Consumer Reports April issue - it should be available at your local library for free. They have information on cars as to their reliability and value for the past several years, as well as recommended vehicles for various price ranges. Be sure to have an independent mechanic check out the vehicle thoroughly before making a purchase. Pay $10 for the CarFax report to make sure the vehicle hasn't been previously totaled.
Good luck!

You need assistance and support.
He is young and does not understand why you are right there but not able to spend time with him. Quality time.
Put him in a mother's day out or a daycare program so you can concentrate on the homeschooling for your others.
Then, when you pick that 3-year-old up, make the next 30 min to an hour quality time for the 2 of you together.
You're pulling a lot of weight here with homeschooling then working at night at home. He probably feels neglected.
If I were you, I would reconsider the homeschooling, put those boys in public or private school, put the 3-year-old in a daycare, work during the day and have a normal, peaceful, quality night with my family.
The kids will grow up but work will always be there.
Do not continue spanking him -- I'm not an anti-spanking person -- but he does not understand and you are hurting him with no outcome other than simple pain and humiliation.
Yes - please do read that! (nm)

Last week a little girl in my community was having a snowball fight with her friend. Her mom was clearing the snow from the driveway. The little girl slipped and fell and her jacket got caught in the auger of the snowblower. She was without oxygen for at least 11 minutes (that was response time for emergency workers to make it to her house). We don't know how long she was trapped before someone called 911, mom was hysterical (obviously) and kept screeming she was dead, she did not at that time try to get the jacket off of her. The little girl has so far made it but she is still on life support.
I am asking for you all to do 2 things:
1. Keep this little girl and her family in your thoughts and if you are spiritual then please keep her in your prayers and let's hope for a miracle.
2. I am asking that you please don't allow your children to be anywhere near you or anyone when you are snowblowing. Things just happen too quickly.
I know my kids are always playing outside when we clear the driveway and we "shoot" snow at them from the snowblower but that will not happen again. This poor mother has to live with what happened for the rest of her life and I can't even imagine the guilt and pain she must feel but she has to keep going because she has 3 other children at home.
I'm sorry to be a downer on Christmas Eve but if a miracle is going to happen it will be today.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all.
Before you do anything - please read
A few years ago, my husband went absolutely crazy with credit cards. I have always been very frugal and careful with money so it was pretty devastating to me. Especially since he kept it a secret until it was way out of control.
You can try the same thing I did to get us out of this mess he created.
Hopefully you have made some effort at payments or at least have kept in touch with your creditors. If not, it might be a little tougher but you can try.
Call the card companies and ask to speak to an account supervisor. Don't speak to someone answer the phones. Trust me. You need to speak with someone who isn't going to waste your time. Explain the situation and how you are trying to fix it now that you have steady employment.
Call the one with the highest balance first. Ask if it is possible for them to lower your APR and consider giving you a much lower FIXED rate for at least up to 1 year if not for the life of the balance if you also include a balance transfer from another account to this one. If they say no. Big Deal. That's all they can do and, you can call back in a week or so and do it again, maybe not get the same person.
Make sure when you call that you write down the date, time, who you speak to, and make notes of every conversation. Keep these separate for each card.
If you are granted the request of extended credit for balance transfer and lowered fixed interest, make sure you request a letter stating these changes. Write that down too and make sure you get that letter. If you don't get it.. call them back and go back to your notes from the original call so you have all the details and GET THAT LETTER!
Remember, you do not want to max out any of the cards. If you can do the above with at least two cards and get everything down to 2 cards or less, you will be doing okay and you will see the debt going away a lot faster.
If you can swing it, make DOUBLE payments on at least one of the cards every month. I know it sounds painful but, believe me, I did it even when things have been extremely lean around here and I am so glad that I did. When you get one of those cards paid off, you aren't done yet. Put the entire payment you were applying to that card to the next card. Every time you pay something off, you move that payment plus the minimum to the next one and the next one until you are all paid off.
When you get one card paid off, make sure you call the company after the first statement you get that says ZERO balance and cancel that card immediately.
Remember I said my husband's credit card debt was around $28,000.00 - That was just a little over two years ago. I have one card left and the balance on it is $7000.00. The minimum payment on this card is $143.00 per month and I have taken all of the previous payments from the cards I have already paid off and am now applying those to this card too, totalling about $600.00 per month so I will have this one paid off in about a year too.
You can do it. Don't take no for an answer. Just be patient, wait a week or so, and call again until you get what you want. They WANT our money and they want our business. They WILL give in eventually.
I also found that a little hard bargaining sometimes worked. If someone told me they could not grant my request for a lowered fixed interest. I would tell them that I am prepared to do a balance transfer today and close this account unless they could give me a better deal. That usually worked the first call.
Good luck.
Just now getting to read this
I actucally did make the spinach dip LOL!. About 4 minutes before the game was over my mom decided we should clean up the kitchen. I am a giants fan and didn't get to see any of the excitement. Oh well, at least my team won and my DH chile won.
I also read that (sm)
I also read that they are tunnelers, diggers. I think I'm just telling my sis to give to other girl - by all accounts, she would be a responsible pet owner. I'd like a mid-size dog for the backyard - what kind of dog would be hearty enough to withstand that environment. I just cannot have an inside dog, period. I have a garage that the dog will go into if it is too hot, too cold, rainy, etc., but majority of time would have to be outside in backyard. Thanks in advance.
That's a lie, too. Do you believe everything you read?

Sometimes they want you to read it!
I don't think you did anything wrong. We need to use all means at our disposal to know what's going on in their lives.
During my oldest daughter's senior year, she was having a hard time, but I was not aware of the half of it. She was an honor student, on the debate team, always very responsible. She started getting very irritable and would fly off the handle at everything, but I chalked it up to typical teenage behavior. One weekend she went away for the night and I went into her room to get something and saw her diary right smack in the middle of her desk in plain sight. I read it. I found out she was using alcohol and was depressed to the point of being suicidal. I confronted her about this when she got home and she admitted it was true and willingly accepted getting help with a counselor. She never asked me how I knew. I'm convinced to this day she left the diary there for me to read. She wanted me to know and didn't know how to tell me. We got her some help and now she's off at college, doing much better. Parents, sometimes they WANT you to read it!

The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Sun are the best I have ever ever read. You have to stick with them though. Terrific read.
Have you read....sm
the book about Lord John Gray? I never thought he was that interesting a character to warrant his own book.
So #7 might not be the last? That would be wonderful! I remember I started reading one by the fountain outside the bookstore before I even got it home and another one in the car on the way home from the mall and DH said, Well, guess I won't be seeing you for awhile.
