Tell her to forget it.
It isn't her wedding. Plain and simple. Stick to what your son really wants not what he may be pressured in to.
Don't forget though
that while you can get outside help, a restraining order will not necessarily save you if the guy won't abide by it. I don't know anything about this woman or this case, but I'm just sayin.
Don't forget the pig (sm)
You can dress him all up in leather and boots as your "assistant".

I confess I adored Clooney back in his ER days. Thought he was handsome until just a couple of weeks ago when I saw him with his Oceans 6,279 or whatever number it is gang promoting the film on a morning talk show. He looked like a little geeky guy sitting in his chair. The hair, skinnier, I don't know but something was different and it wasn't good.
Tom Cruise was great in his Risky Business days. He'd be better off now in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Josh Holloway, Liam Neeson, John Cusack and OMG I can't think of any more...any ideas?
My list
Who could only have one? They are like potato chips. All the Harry Potter Movies - do you have YOUR ticket for Wednesday?, Where the Red Fern Grows, The Big Chill, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill I and II, Better off Dead, Gone With the Wind, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Casablanca, Driving Miss Daisy, Rear Window, Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Passion of the Christ, School of Rock, The Crow, Braveheart, The Secret Garden, all the Jason Bourne Movies, The Labyrinth. I have to stop now and go watch one before I fall asleep! I am glad to see all those wonderful movies on here. Now I am reminded of old favorites that I want to watch again and ones I don't own for my collection I share with my daughters.
How Could I Forget !?!
I also love Piglet from Winnie the Pooh, and Dorie from Finding Nemo. My friends laughed like crazy when we first saw that movie, because I totally AM Dorie.
thanks..trying to forget it lol
i might give it a try. I just wish I didn't have to pay shipping!
I tried the Physicians Formula version of bare minerals and thought it brought out the lines in my face too much so I swore off those powder-type foundations. I have heard a lot of good things about bare minerals so I guess I should try it!

the melted Crisco, about a tablespoon or so melted in the cast iron skillet, then poured into the cornmeal mixture...mmm good!

Viagara, Cialis, retirement villages, multi million sports figures stating they drive a Buick or a Ford. Insurance salesmen with one foot in the grave themselves, on-line schools with degrees in 18 months guaranteed, mattress ads, especially designed by designers, you sleep on them for ,,,,sake, you don't wear them! teeth whiteners, wrinkle removers, energy drinks, hair growth products, More - breast enhancers, jewelry that is overpriced, self-help videos, miracle sponges and mops that clean by themselves, Chia, free-trial money-back guarantees (you never send them back), anything with 12 easy payments, no money down; free stuff where you just pay shipping.

There are on-line courses for this, just send them your credit card number and they will make you a college grad in no time!
Your welcome! Don't forget to
check the theater website for coupons or a frequent visitor card. He probably wouldn't fill one out himself but you could fill it out and include it in with the gift card. Usually you can get free drinks, etc. and it will really stretch the gift card.
We did a "movie pack" for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law last year. I found a plastic popcorn bucket at the $1 store and wal-mart had candy in the boxes (like at the movies) for a $1. Turned out to be a very cute gift if I do say so myself. We through the giftcard in there instead of buying a $3 card to go along with the giftcard.
Top of my list...
Friday Night Lights, finally back on NBC after being on Direct TV only since fall.
2-1/2 Men
The Office
Grey's Anatomy

sounds fun!
Now to find the time to do my own.. LOL
going to add to the list
One thing that I did when my kids were growing up in the80s was to make a "garbage omlet" (sorry for the typos working up until recently -- but what I did was if there really weren't enough leftovers in the fridge to make a meal, meat, veggies, etc, I would beat eggs up and combine everything along with cheddar cheese and I am on a very frugal budget right now as well -- our local Publix has had Hillshire Farm lunch meat on sale for several months at $4/for 2 packages - I clip the coupons which are $1 of for 3 -- I buy things on special when at ALL possible -- went shopping the other day and spent $200 but the freezer and fridge are packed and that is for me and when S/O is here for 3.5 days -- I basically "create" and one of the things I do is make my own wraps -- buy tortillas on sale, again, Hillshire Farm and for S/O'S lunch, wrap in plastic wrap to hold together -- he will also take leftovers.
One experiment that I did the other day and was great, but I made macaroni salad with no mayo -- took Albacore tuna -- a large can, cooked and drained macaroni, italian dressing, 3 hard boiled eggs -- 3-4 greek olives and your own "seasonings to taste" but here in FL with hot weather or any place NO mayo -- I can only give basic ingredients because I have SELDOM followed a book as far as making anything and this is from someone whom from back in the 70s couldnt even make Jello :) -- go for the roasts, chicken breasts etc -- but try to think too, of meals that rather "prepared you can make from scratch" A pork roast, beef roast, chuck roast, ham, can be sandwiches, BBQ, chunked into salads etc. Sorry, EXHAUSTED after working all day but trying to help -- OOPS forgot about this -- a PREPARED fruit salad with "lunch meat ham" shredded up makes a quick -- hot weather fix as well -- be CREATIVE and good luck
Don't forget................ sm

Just one question. Do you ever forget anything and
have to go back and get it? I do.
I will NEVER forget what I got for my 16th...
My mother wrapped a box, and inside was a telephone. I was a little confused, as this was WELL before the days of cell phones. It was my own phone line for my room. Now in the day and age of kids having cell phones, that isn't probably a wonderful idea, but it's certainly cheaper than a cell phone, you have more control over it, she can't lose it... And if your DD doesn't have a cell phone of her own, it's still a pretty durn cool present.
But what do I know? I haven't been cool since about 1989...
I have more pets than 10! Not one on the list!
Dogs - Ziggy Stardurst and Mello Yello, and Moe. Cats - Michael Jackson and Dr. Finkelstein (daughter's fave dictator), Rabbits - Dobby, Lupin, Binky, Marshmallow, Snitch, Fleuffer, George and Fred - are you sensing a heavy Harry Potter theme here?? Pumpkin and Radad. And my 2 black bear hamsters - guy and girl - Joey and Zora...Now does anybody remember that pair?? Other hamsters Bob, Faramir, Oompah and SweetTart. Any donations will be gladly accepted for my zoo........
Do not call list
 There is a national "Do Not Call List" that you can put not only your home land line on but also your cell phone number on. You sign up on-line via the Internet and you remain on the list for 5 years at which time you have to re-enroll your phone numbers. It is not enough to "ask" to be put on the "do not call list" you must go to the national website and sign yourself up. If you are called by a company after you have put your number on the national "do not call list" you can call the Attorney General and the company will be fined $1,500.00. Hope this helps! We have all our numbers on the list home phone/cell phones and our numbers are unlisted as well.

Restrictions you list..
All of the above restrictions are things that any one with a little bit of sense would WANT to do. They are meant to protect, not restrict. I gladly wear a seat belt, riding motorcycle helmet is for the person, not the government and the transfat---- that should have been banned years ago along with other food addictives that do nothing for our health and only hurt us. In my home we only use olive oil in cooking and do not frequent the fast food joints. We try to buy good food that is as pure as we can get for our cooking here. I do not care to have other folks smoking around me, definitely not in my home. I think what you named above are for our health.
I thought you were going to have a list
About the divorced men with kids living at home with their parents...I can understand their situation. After I got divorced, my kids lived with my ex and I paid child support. It was impossible for me to live on my own and pay CS, even when I got a job that doubled my yearly income. The more I made, the more my CS payment went up. I respect someone whose priority is being financially and emotionally responsible to their children after divorce, even if it means being judged a "momma's boy" for living with his parents for a while. On the upside of that, too, is the fact that not just any old new woman in his life is going to be brought home to meet the parents (usually). They usually wait until they find a special someone to bring them over to meet the family. Remember, I doubt that the ex-wife is just sitting at home twiddling her thumbs minding the kids. Most ex-wives DO date after divorce (otherwise there would be fewer blended families/second marriages), so I don't see any difference between the ex-hubbie and the ex-wife. JMHO
Don't forget the next generation
will be at it sooner than you'd think, LOL.
I go out and forget to lock
the door when I come back in, have left the keys in the lock. I hate it when husband sees that.
Anbesol is on my list....

Oh God how could I forget when my husband and I first met sm
I was invited to the in-laws for Thanksgiving. I was SOO in love with my husband back then and wanted to impress his family so much! A few weeks before Thanksgiving I had found this yeast roll recipe TO DIE FOR! I would roll the bread, let it rise, bake them, and they would rise about 5 times it's size with a delicious, light, fluffy flavor. So, I told my soon-to-be mother-in-law I would do the rolls (to feed 25+ people).
Well, I prepared the night before but we had had a bad frost and the house was COLD! I woke up the next morning and the bread had risen just a little bit, but I thought I'd bring them anyway and bake them there. All 60 or so pieces! I got to their house (good thing they had a double oven) and began baking the rolls thinking they would rise with the heat from the oven. They never did! They ended up being as heavy as a hockey puck (I swear), gooey, chewy, and just plain bad. The only person that ate them was my soon-to-be father-in-law (whom I adore to this day!). This was in a pretty small town so the only thing open was the Git-N-Go gas station. I knew they didn't carry any bread.
Can you imagine how mortified I was???? The one thing I was asked to bring and BOMBED it. So, we all went without bread that year. Needless to say, they've never asked me to bring the rolls ever again. Come to think of it, they haven't asked me to bring anything since! I swear! haha
cookies...quite a list..
This will get you in an early holiday mood.... and if you don't bake...send the list to someone as a big hint!!!
JUST CLICK ON THE NAME OF THE COOKIE AND BAM, THE RECIPE IS THERE. GOOD TO KEEP HANDY FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
Disgustingly Rich Brownies
That is such a bad thing to forget, would you not say?
Then you kill yourself? I have a variety of medications for different ailments, things for sleep, things for pain- I don’t buy forgetting. I would buy if you are trying to dope up, that I would buy but oops,,, took too many, checking out time. If you cannot keep up with the dosages of medss, they have these separated plastic thingys you put your pills in day by day. No excuses really - except doping it up and ooops...
don't forget about your rebate too!
I think it's $600 per adult and $300 per child - if you're within the income limits. Most people are because it's designed for the middle class workers. To promote us to spend more. I think most of us already have it spent and are waiting for it to pay off the bills.
I'm with you - we always pay off the credit card or a large expense, like furniture. We do those 1-year financing deals. My husband said no more of those. We'd like to use our refund for vacation.
and lets not forget
 Beauty is as beauty does.
My 'to-do' list: -sm
1. The dishes: (No more clean ones left. Tired of pulling dirty ones out of the pile and rinsing them off.) But of course, am I doing them? NO! I'm reading & posting on MT Stars! ;D
2. Vacuuming: When a dark red rug is starting to look white instead, that's enough cat-hair to build yourself a whole 'nother cat!
3. Car-Maintenance: Poor thing is overdue for oil-change, tires, you-name-it. But I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and get it taken care of, if I'm going to be able to rely on it to get me 'over the river & thru the woods' to family Thanksgiving this year, 400 miles away!
4. Yard Work: My landlady wants me to keep the plants in the back yard watered. Instead, I keep hoping it will rain.
5. Laundry: I currently have a good excuse - washing machine is broken and I'm still waiting for the part that was ordered. But MEANWHILE, I'm having to dig back in the closet to my worst, oldest clothes in order to find something to wear each day. And I'm down to the underwear your mom tells you never to wear 'because you never know when you might be in an accident and have to go to the hospital, and then wouldn't you be embarrassed.' Well, actually I woudn't, 'cause I would be in the hospital, and I wouldn't care!
6. Replace missing skate wheel: I broke an axle on my inline skates 2 weeks ago, and had to 'limp' along for miles on 3 wheels instead of 4. That sucked.
7. Letters/Emails: I owe 'way too many people a letter or an email. i used to be so good about corresponding with friends and relatives, sending photos, news, etc. Now I'm totally negligent about it. If only I didn't have to work... ;)
Which I guess I'd better do now, in order to fix that car, buy stamps for my unwritten letters, buy a new axle for my skate, buy dish-soap, buy new underwear, and get the vacuum-cleaner fixed after it dies from vacuuming up all that cat-hair!
Ok then, list yours out for us and we will call them out for you (sm)
No one is without sin so I guess we should all go around pointing the finger at each other all the time and not worry about what we ourselves are doing?
I say forgive, of course, but forget, NO WAY......sm
To be a true friend and truly care for someone, you first have to respect them and honor their dignity....how can care for anyone, friend, lover, or whatever, if you cannot be TRUTHFUL? How can you say you respect someone whiile blatantly lying to them? As a Christian and hopefully good person, I belive we always have to forgive, but to forget as if nothing had happened, that is impossible, I would think. She betrayed you by lying, not by seeing your ex, that is HER problem if she wants a second-hand loser, but friendship is a sacred bond, I am sure you can forge some newer, better friendships, can you ever feel any confidence in this woman again? Just my firm opinion, I had this done to me many years ago when very young, and although we tried, the friendship was never the same, for obvious reasons. God bless in your decision!
I can forgive, but how to forget?
a few weeks back my youngest son was injured. My mother came by to bring him some ice cream. For some reason something i said or did made my mother angry. I did not know this at the time. My husband and I went to lunch with said child, my mother and grandmother the next day. I noticed they were acting rather stiff and one time hubby, child and I went to the bathroom. When I walked back to the table M and G promptly stopped talking. Confused, the next day I called and asked the grandmother if I had done something wrong. Out of the blue she stated that she didn't think i should not let one child do something without the other (speaking about a birthday party they were BOTH invited to) I laughed and told her they had both been invited, that the child invited all of his friends and their brothers and I would never dream of self inviting my child to a party!!! Anyway I called my mother and told her the same thing. They both still sounded rather stiff. Well along came Thanksgiving. My MIL came over to our house so we didn't go to my grandma's house. My sister in law then told me all the things that were said about me...that I treat my oldest like crap, my youngest is a spoiled brat, etc. and that my grandma was actually CRYING because she believes my oldest is treated so badly. I honestly have NO CLUE where they got all of this!! I was flabbergasted!!! I just wrote them both off and just never really wanted to talk to them. No confrontation, nothing. I didn't even return their calls.
So today my grandma stops by unannounced and begs me to forgive her and that she wants to see my boys some time during christmas. SHe won't talk about the incident, what sparked it or even what the heck my mom thinks is so bad about how i have treated my oldest. I'm at a loss. On one hand I really want to get together with her. She is just going on something that someone else told her about me. On the other hand I feel like my every move will be judged if I am around her with my kids. I told her I forgive her and I honestly do, but i'm not sure how to get past this. I'm having a Christmas lunch Saturday with my brother. Should I invite her or just say to heck with it and not see her?
Try Craig's List.
