In Reply to: i disagree somewhat. i don't think this particular issue needs to become a race thing, but sm - tired of violence
While it's politically incorrect to even mention race (other than ''white'' as the other poster mentioned) or country of origin (other than American), the families of the slaughtered students probably don't think this is the time for political correctness. It is naieve to assume that everyone who comes to this country does so out of love for this country or respect for American culture/way of life. It is also foolish to assume that parents do not impart their own beliefs to their children. And 8 year-olds are not just hatched from the egg--they HAVE been to school and HAVE been somewhat influenced by their families and culture by that age. And they CONTINUE to be influenced by their family. Some immigrants are motivated to come here strictly for economic reasons but hold onto the cultural attitudes of their country of origin. A love for one's country does not necessarily occur by osmosis -- it is shaped and influenced by family attitudes and home environment no matter what the country of origin. A recent NY Times article cited a poll taken in which a majority of South Koreans expressed trust for the North Korean president more than the American government. While, apparently, nobody anywhere has any use for Pres.Bush anymore, that's still some gratitude after so many of our soldiers have died over the years defending their country. No, this political correctness and assumption that every person who relocates here does so out of love for the USA is sheltered, naieve and damaging to our country.

good post
I adopted shelter pets....my daughter and I both wish we could bring them all home and donate to humane society. If I had the money, I would buy a ranch and take in neglected animals.
good post..sm
I wholeheartedly agree with what you just said 100 percent, except that God also wants us to live by his commandments, which means Thou Shalt Not Kill; and also taking one day a week to honor only him, to sing his praises, and to rest. So many people think of the weekend as their time off from their duties in life, but forget to honor god. He also wanted us to honor the original religious holidays, and I am not referring to Easter and Christmas, which are man made holidays, not holy days. God was referring to the religious Holy days written into the Torah. A lot of people have no knowledge of that either. I also agree there are going to be an awful lot of ticked off people when Jesus returns. I only hope, and I mean hope, that I will be counted among those he receives as his own. I try my best, but I also know that I am a sinner, as no man is exempt from being one. I have been born again, but sometimes fall short of what god wants us all to be. Bless you for having the courage to say what you said.
Good post
I had a panic attack in February, my first and hopefully my last. I agree that medication is not a good long-term solution, but my doctor gave me about 14 days' worth Klonopin. Just enough to give me a chance to catch my breath (literally). Then I started exercising again and did the deep breathing he recommended. When I went back after 6 weeks, he asked if I wanted any meds to keep on hand and I told him no. If I needed it, I would call him.
I hope your doctor can help you like mine helped me, because even though my attack was a one-time thing, nothing chronic like you seem to be having, I know it wasn't anything I want to go through again. Good luck to you!
good post.

Good post
What I'm thinking is.....it does not matter if you are black, white, pink, purple whatever....people grieve in different ways....and if somebody falls out....starts screaming......it might be the fact that they are finally realizing that this is a loved one that they will never see again....
Thanks for this post OP; all in good fun.
We go with not so traditional and I think it's great! Thanks again! 
good post
I agree with everything you said... life is too short to sweat the small stuff. . My mom used to call me at times when I was trying to work and I would get a little aggravated but I always talked to her - I remembered the song that said "don't rush off the phone when your mama calls- you ain't that busy". . anyway, she has been gone nearly a year and I would love to have her call me again. . . There is nothing wrong with taking time for yourself but you are the only mother your children will ever have and they do need you, even if you (and they) think they don't. .
good post
good post - I think you were very wise in handling your teen driver the way you did - looking back, I wish we had done the same with our daughter. . We bought her a very old car and she was responsible for the gas - we paid insurance - rules were if you get a speeding ticket, the car will be taken for a period of time - didn't say how long - that never happened. . if caught drinking in the car, keys taken away forever. .that didn't happen either. . She did have a couple of minor accidents - the first during a rain storm at a very low speed, the second was when a deer jumped out in front of her car. . no injuries either time - except to the deer! She was allowed to have one other person in the car with her for first 6 months. . I believe that was probably not a good thing - should have had no others with her for at least 6 months - they also need all kinds of driving experience, night driving, inclement weather, etc. . It takes a while to get the experience they need to react correctly. . it's hard, because they are so eager to drive and so sure they are good drivers. . but it is our job to protect them. .
Good post - sm
I was fearful of owning a pitbull until I got mine too.
I have also learned that, by the majority, the pitbulls that tend to be aggressive are usually the females.
The same is true with a lot of breeds of dogs. Cats too. The females are more aggressive.
Good post again Misha.......no msg
amen! good post.
I agree -- you wrote what the Bible teaches -- and i too am sure it is more than we can imagine or understand now. Why the OP would be so interested in opinions rather than the truth is rather curious to me....
good post Misha!!! And to OP, know you're a better
My mother's floors you could eat off of back then - and we all were scared (terrified) of her.....my house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy...*S* .....I think Misha's post said it all and by all means, she posted it for you to utilize when you decide to confront hubby on these issues....
Best of luck.....from an equalist who, when my ex did a white glove test, I got so mad, I handed him the dust cloth and product(s) and told him, if he wasn't happy to do it himself..........'nuff said....*lol*... and him being the passive-aggressive a** that he was - I ended up divorcing him after nearly 14 years and thinking I should have been sainted for staying THAT long....never regretted one minute away from that either........been nearly 16 yrs....
that's OK, it's only my 2nd post on this website, I need to think of a good moniker!nm

That was a very good post. I wish more people shared your opinion-

This post made me laugh and then brought tears to my eyes...good for you!!!

Good Fences make good neighbors
You can get premade cedar fencing that comes in sections. You dig a post hole at the appropriate distance and fill with a bag of quick-crete. Alternatively, you could buy a used fence from a place that hauls away.
You could also get an electric fence, just hook to a battery and run the cord (for retraining purposes) it would not hurt your dogs.
I feel your pain. Roll up your sleeves and pray for some digging weather!
Hey hon, you can have one. There are tons of good ones out there looking for a good woman. They ain&
doorstep. Seek and you shall find. So, if you 'really' wanted one, me thinks you would have one...
a good movie with a good lesson

Good for you! Keep up the good work!

Yes there are some that are good. This wasn't about one that was good.

Well, you post with something that is going to --sm
get your *butt jumped* and then you cry when someone does. judgemental of everything, huh? don't get your halo in a twist. geez.
your post says *they*...
Is more than 1 of your children living with this person? Just curious...
Thank you for your post....sm
at least YOU seem to understand the concept of what a thyroid problem can do to a person...unlike anon poster below, who has a very closed mind about ANYthing she does not agree with.
My thyroid problem is quite bad. I HAVE seen an endocrinologist who explained that thyroid disease is an autoimmune disease, where the body attacks certain organs for no reason. I did not do well on synthetic thyroid replacement and switched to a *natural* form. I am currently taking 120 mg daily and that is a lot. The endocrinologist said that my thyroid was barely functioning at all.
I feel very bad for your brother in law, as I truly understand how he feels. Thank you again for your understanding support for my problem, rather than attacking me with being a food junky, being paranoid, needing a psychiatrist, telling me I am nuts, and to pursue bariatric surgery, which all tends to lower my already low self-esteem. thank you for your courage to post. It is nice to know that SOME people understand.
was the *duh* in yer post necessary?.....

better post than your first one *LOL*
I like what you said there - you have had a GOOD solid thing for 41 years now.......or thereabouts with your husband -
Doing this to him, even surreptitiously....do you think this is what HE deserves after you having a full life with him? Do you have a conscience? Even if you don't see this guy from 900 miles away - YOU'RE STILL CHEATING, you are carrying on a secret relationship in a secret email account behind your husband's back.........
I ain't judging.........but points upward.........towards G_d.........
jes' sayin'..............
how did this post above from 1/16/07 end up

All prayer requests belong on the Prayer Request board. You access it by going to the Gab board first, then clicking the Prayer Request link just above the posts.
I have not received any emails from you regardnig your post.
Sorry to post again about this but (sm)
Divorce is a huge decision - I have been talking to family and friends but this is the only place I can get anonymous opinions from a lot of people, and it is more likely that someone here may have been through something similar. My husband now is asking me to not go. But he has already told me just a few nights ago that he was never happy with me, was always disappointed and frustrated with who I am, and that this is probably the reason he hit me a few years ago. He went nuts a few years ago during a very minor argument (children were not present), and now says that it was probably because of years of frustration. But now he is once again asking me to stay. Because my parents are divorced he says that "divorce is the only thing I know" when faced with conflict. I have been here almost 14 years and he has never been happy with me. Even when I was young and thin and our house was spotless. My question is - if he has never been happy with me, and I have always been a source of frustration, why should I stay now and expect things to improve? We have been to 4 marriage counsellors in the past. I am scared about leaving and I still do love him deep down, but why continue to stay if I will never be good enough?
I should have put LOL after my post
about the fancy car. My parents and my MIL drive "fancy" cars. I agree that wasn't a nice thing to say.
Well, here you can post what you think
Well, here you can post what you think is an awesome idea or might we say lame... (Creativity is the key)
I'll start with:
Awesome:
Water powered cars...
Lame:
Really cool stuff that is ridiculously expensive(i.e. PS3)
Please do post a pic of your pup
if you haven't already. Hayseed knows how.
Was this post really necessary?
Why bother reading a post that doesn't interest you just to post something rude and totally unnecessary? I for one love hearing about the good things in life. It's not just all work, work, work.
see my post sm
Would anyone who has used Cymbalta please reply to my post on the Mental Health board. I think this is suitable for "gab" but only one answer on that board. Thanks! BTW, I don't think exhaustion and pain from this profession is all "in our mind." I hope you agree.
Post her pic?
//
I saw that post too
I'm glad I wasn't the only one confused. This is a gab board and that's what we're doing gabbing about cats and other animals. If he/she isn't interested, just don't read the posts. By the way, I have an all black Halloween cat and the kids get a big kick out of him when them come to the door.
I think your post is right on
My hubs and I have separate and I trust him beyond belief, would never know what he made a year except at tax time. I think it is great to have hubs you trust and can take care of things like yours does. Seems like a dream deal to me. I could care less for doing anything when it comes to financial deals but sometimes have to fool with that. If I had a hubs that dealt with everything, I would be more than happy. You are blessed.
Just saw this post
Yes, his anal glands were really impacted- the post below this 1 helped me tremendously. Never knew felines got that way. He went to the veterinarian the very day I learned about the possibility of what it could be, the vet expressed the glands and relieved that problem. Yesterday my big boy (20 and a half lbs) went to the groomers to get him all cleaned and smelling good again. One more thing I learned- he is double furred boy and hair was even growing over his anus which had to be shaved. He is quite the handsome guy today!
100% right and that is my post
Give varied foods to be served but can you just imagine if 10 or more kids would not eat and demanded certain foods for their own eating? Did not say kids should be forced to eat anything but definitely needs vegetables in their diet. Sit foods on the table, not much fuss and let the child eat and eat good, no junk stuff, no Cokes, no sweetened drinks, no overloading on the chips, cookies and other sweets.
By the way, there is a second pic in that post above. (nm)
