First, take a deep breath - sm

In Reply to: Advice needed - school incident - sm
Yes, the school should have called you, but they did not and you cannot control the actions of others, just your own. You also cannot control whether the other mom calls you to apologize. Should she have? Sure, but again, what you do is NOT necessarily what someone else would do. Set a good example for your son and let him see this for what it is - a small incident in the big scheme of things. He will likely not even remember this in a few months unless you harp on it endlessly. I would definitely let the school know about my displeasure at the events of today, but after that just let it go. These things happen. You cannot protect your son from life.

Take a deep, deep breath...sm
and slowly exhale. Phoooooooo. Feel a little better? You may have been venting, but you still kept your sense of humor. I do sympathize, though. My brother did not think he needed pain meds after his vision-correction surgery. I kept telling him the anesthetic would wear off. I picked up his meds without him knowing. He was so grateful later that night. Chalk one up for little sis. BTW, I hope your hubby gets better soon.
Yep. Normal. Just take a deep breath and
They'll probably make peace in a few short years (when you're old and grey-headed and senile, lol)!
:)
Are you ready to be brave? Take a deep breath...
Then do it and close your eyes real tight and be glad the minute you have done it (calling to have him picked up for psych eval) Then once you have him out of the house you can keep him out with a court order. Your life will improve. Are you Ready???? Be BRAVE! I was!!!
Thank you for the breath of fresh air
and the very nice comment to both of us. We really have hurt no one and have found someone who mutually shares the love of animals, as I am sure so many of you do. I spoke just last week to a lovely MT who has a little Pekinese named Sophie. We had a great conversation about that. With an elderly very ill parent this board has given me something to focus on and relieve some fear and tension. Thanks again. You comments are truly appreciated.
me too! breath of fresh air.
except for maybe the typo-gestapo. but even that has faded.
BREATH OF FRESH AIR
I think MTStars is Breath of Fresh Air after change in administration. This thread is staying on board is proof of it. MTStars was personal forum rather public board beofre.
I was sick of HER, deleting every other thread and banning those who expressed their opinions that wasn't acceptable for her.
I get it but you are wasting your breath on them...
xx
Oh yes, so nice this morning to breath
in that crisp cool air. Glad that awful HUMIDITY is gone, and hopefully won't be back until next year. I enjoy this time of year too. Have to get my McIntosh apple candles a burning. Getting ready to decorate my front porch for the fall this weekend with mums. What part of the Northeast are you from? NJ here.
Talk about having the breath knocked out of you,
to have your child tell you something like this is devistating. I never let her sleep around, tried talking, telling her about things going on with a disease you could not get rid of. A parent can only do so much. I had started typing on this disease before it had a name, before anyone knew what was going on- early 80s and the reports were horrible, bleeding from every orifice, Kaposis, the Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, everything and then your child tells you that? Almost more than a parent can hear. That was in 1992. She has since married and so far, so good, thrived but the least little anything sends me more into a tizzy than it does her because like I said, I used to type 1 after another report day after day. She is in her 30s now and I try not to hover but she is still my daughter. When first diagnosed I could not even talk about it without crying. Bought loads of sweeets and fattened her up as well as myself - heard about failure to thrive and not really thinking, that was what I was doing. I tried talking, I really tried- I do not blame myself nor do I have guilt feelings because I could not have talked more.
Mine's 43...don't hold your breath ;-) nm

I asked a very simple gift for Mother's Day, should have saved my breath
I was going to visit my aunt out of town this weekend and my daughter wanted to go with me. The only thing I asked for Mother's Day was that my daughter behave (she is in her 30s understand) but what I meant was getting along, if I should say anything she might not like to smile and say yes. I just wanted a little peace and quiet but I wasted my breath. She said she felt like she always had to walk on eggshells around me. I told her she does not know me at all, never has and I don’t think she cares about me at all. I have been asked loads of time if she is an only child. She is not but that should tell you what others think, just a me type person. I paid for everything, the gas, the motel, the food, everything and thought I could ask for something that she would not have to spend money on. I am thinking seriously about throwing in the towel on her, just giving up. I am too old to fool with her me type stuff any longer, I really have been thinking about doing just that. A simple request, not 1 that I could not pull off if my mother had asked me to do. The last thing before we got home, I wanted to stop at 1 of my favorite pizza places, get a pizza, we could have called before getting home, could have been ready (left out earlier coming home) and she just wanted to grab something quick, so we got a hamburger. I really do not like her and I am sad because I would like to. It has been impossible for me to really love her like I should.
Oh no, now I am in deep......
Hubs out of town, returning tonight. I told him I had bought something really good for him today, some succupnongs and got me some home-grown tomatoes. Well I never thought he would do that but then said how he loves those kind of tomatoes, how many did I get? I lied, yes I did, if I have to eat them all tonight before he gets here. OMG I probably have a good dozen left but I don’t want to share....I did buy him those others, why are men never satisfied?? I am so full right now I do not think I can eat those other 12 just yet.
I know deep down in my heart that this is wha I WANT to do. But, I'm not sure sm
how difficult it would be to get back into MTing/QAing after a year or so. It took me a long time to get the job I have now (QAing/MTing).
Thanks for your input! Will keep everyone posted. I hate doing QA right now and typing!......ha
Do you need DEEP POCKETS to buy them?

Deep down inside what we all really want is to be.........

I have never seen Deep Throat but know I don't want

Still waters run deep and (sm)
Anyone who thinks introverts or shy people are slow or retarded is just ignorant. I'm sorry, but racism is ignorant and judging people without knowing one thing about them is ignorant. This person is double-ignorant.
Can't give you advice, but my son is a lot like your husband. He is incredibly intelligent and the wheels are always turning, he just doesn't spew out every little thing that comes into his head. He listens. He learns.
All I can say to you is thank whomever you supreme being is that you have the pleasure of this darling man in your life. I'm not sure even if you tried to explain his nature that she'd understand. Not to mention she knows everything.
Deep south - only hog I know is as in
pigs.
Deep Freeze !!!
Holy icicles batman ! It is -8 here in New England !
How about where you live?
Deep Purple Dress
Bridesmaid dresses in a deep purple. Not sure if I should go for metallics- gold or silver or stick with black? The wedding is in the afternoon in church and a reception at a golf course. What do you think?
12 inches is not deep pocket--sm
12 inches is barely even standard these days. Mine is 21 inches deep. I need 22 inch deep sheets to at least stay on. You shop around and see where you can find that size for under 200 dollars. If you do, let me know!
Recommendations for deep friers sm
Need some recommendations for a good quality deep fryer. My third one just bit the dust. Have used Rival and Presto in the past both only lasting 1 year or less. I don't deep fry a lot but get a hankering every now and then for chicken. None of the fryers I have bought in the past last more than a year, they quit right in the middle of frying. I sent one back to Rival, it had died 28 days after I bought it. They sent me another and it died 1 year later. On the hunt again for another and don't care the cheapies anymore. Give me your recommendations. 
Deep south, Virginia, nah I never
thought of that as the deep south. We think of it as the northern most of southern states.
I really can't imagine how deep this sorrow must be. (sm)
I've only lost pets, and it rips my heart out to lose one of those special ones. The loss of a child would be absolutely unbearable. Time can only round off the edges of the pain a little, but never take it away. Not until you see him again in heaven. At least we have that hope.
True, but I doubt Britney is that deep! - nm

I was in a wedding with deep blue dresses.
We had the shoes dyed to match the dress from David's Bridal. They have a big selection of styles to pick from and then you dye them, relatively cheap too.
If not, then I would go with silver, just something simple though. JMO, but I don't think black would look great.
Deep dish; Romance or comedy? nm
Same problem for me. Deep pockets - Wal-Mart and Target have them.

People are more polite in the deep south. There is a sense of decorum.
q!
I say silver. Will they be playing music by Deep Purple at the wedding? lol

I am in a biracial marriage, not thick skinned, live in the deep south, have
a mixed daughter who is 32 years old and she told me going to school she had the best of both worlds. Live in a very nice mixed neighborhood, just don’t know where this person lives who has to be thick skinned. Has never happened to me.
Think what you need are called deep pocket sheets. Try Linens n Things, Bed and Bath, JCP. nm

Gotta put deep wire fencing around next years' crop, underground,
