Pantry full and freezer full...but will NEVER eat Spam!
//
Pantry full, 2 freezers full.
Only need to get paper products and fish. I have lots of tuna, Spam, canned chicken, sardines, corned beef hash, etc.
Got our veggie seeds last week.
Stocking up on more canned veggies and fresh veggies, mostly potatoes, as soon as I can. Potaoes last quite a while in our cold room, which is an extra bedroom with no heat. Also want to get extra bread. Love homemake bread, but DH doesn't like it for sandwiches, so I have to get store-bought bread for that. I can still buy bread at my local produce store at 2 for $1.75 and it freezes very well. In spring, it used to cost 2 for $1.25, but that's still cheaper than other places.
I'm not doing this because of what's coming. I'm doing it because I've done it for years, but usually in the fall. This fall I could only buy a few things at a time because DH not working, so I figure another month, I'll be back to normal.
I think you should be more honest with him.

Be honest with him and
upfront with your feelings. It's not fair to you if there is no attraction and it is not fair to him thinking you are interested. Who knows, a great friendship might evolve. Just be honest with him right away before things get out of hand. Good luck with dating!!
There is an honest way of doing it as well.
H went to a farm sale and they were practically giving away scrap iron. He bought me an exercise bike for $2 and they threw in a bunch of it in with that exercise bike. Someone came by and asked if they can have it for scrap and H gave it to them. A person can find stuff on the side of the road like hub caps, car batteries, copper wire. I saw a mattress laying out on the side to the road as well. H has a lot of scrap in the backyard he needs to take down.
Unfortunately, there are some that make this a dishonest business. It has been rumored that the city has had missing sewer caps. Someone took that down to the scrap yard. Gosh, what people won't do. 
to be honest
I would just stand there with the hose when the were out and bust up the fight. I am totally serious. If you don't want a fence, get 100 foot hose.
Be honest about it. I really don't think it will be as bad
xx
You have to be honest with him, but you do sound a bit. SM
codependent on him. Something to think about. I've been married twice (once for 10 years and to my current husband for 4 years) and you cannot change people. You have to work on things together and try to change things together. I man will never read your mind and do what you want. You have to be very blunt with the male species and tell them what you want and need, but be careful about being too needy as that could be a turn off.
You must love him for who he is.
Good luck! I wish someone would have told me some of this stuff 15 years ago, but I'm in my mid 30s and still learning.
Both fixed and he is gay, honest!
He just does not try to mount, goes further than that. He is my youngest son and I still love him although his brother has to run from him sometimes. He is unlike his big brother, very sensitive, coy, tries to keep his weight down (for the other guys, in case he meets some) and I thought maybe seeing about getting him in some decorating classes.
To be honest, that was 100% lies...or was it? nm
....
My honest opinion...
After learning this, my husband talked to the security office at his job and was advised that he should request our child be transferred to another team b/c it was considered a breach of ethics for my husband to fraternize with an ex-inmate.
Why did your husband run to his job and tell? Did he not want the ex-inmate working with the team or what? What's done is done. Sounds like you'd better switch leagues or build a bridge and get over it. JMO.
To be honest, I think I had cable when my little ones were
--
how about being honest and telling him the truth..sm
imagine how he will react when (and he will) he finds out you have been lying to him. Just tell him. His reaction may be less than when he finds out about a total lie!
To be honest, when I was pregnant with my 3rd child, ,sm
I developed, around the 7th month, a nesting instinct where I could NOT sit still. I went from a couch potato to cleaning freak. I also began to drink tons of water for the first time and cut my cola consumption in half and then went completely to diet drinks, which I will have 3-4 per week now (no more colas). I found that just moving, piddling around, bending and stooping over picking up toys and clothes A LOT during the day has helped greatly to tighten up my stomach muscles. We live on a hill and I like to walk it 5 or 6 times a day.
The key to my weight loss was not sitting in front of the t.v. for long periods of time. I know that 99% of the people on this website work many hours a week and spend a lot of time sitting down in front of the computer. To you I say, get up, get moving all throughout the day, even if it is just 5 minute intervals at a time. It took me years (4 or 5), to keep my weight down like this, but I'm not a size 6 anymore. I am very comfortable with my weight, but it is the daily disciplines that will help you. Start now. Drink plenty of water, walk, take care of yourself and know that you are worth it!
Oh, one more thing! As soon as I get up in the morning I put my socks and tennis shoes on. Always. This helps me to move around a lot quicker and motivates me to do so much around the house. Good luck. Baby steps.
Here's a compassionate but honest answer
You are *not* in love with him.
Please don't dismiss this: You need counseling to undertand the dynamics here. How could other strangers (on this board) possibly help you with a "relationship" you have developed with another stranger? I belive you are looking for someone to say this is OK, and perhaps even give you hope things will work out. It is not OK, and it is unhealthy.
He is *not* interested in continuing your relationship, or else he would not say "you are strong, you will make it..."
He has made you NO promises at all - and you are hurting yourself if you choose to continue to believe otherwise.
I truly can feel your pain, but you have the power to control it - please consider getting help right away.
Good luck to you.
to be honest...all my posts have been 100% lies -nm
x
love it. to be honest, I wish we were way back in -
the days where people gave things like a made from scratch pie and the recipe, a promise on a piece of paper, donated hours devoted to a project of your choice, etc., and kids made crafts.
Not being able to post your honest opinon and
experience speaks volumes about the place. The way the economy is and how hard it is to save money for a vacation, I certainly wouldn't want to waste it on a glassy beach and rude employees. TY.
Pssttt....locks are for honest people
nm
It is Lent so I am being honest - potty mouth without the kids.....sm
in private, I let RIP at times, it just feels good and releases a lot of tension, and of course right after I say a "forgive me god," which is so hypocritical, but he made me Latin and with a simmering temper, so what else can I say. Never in front of kids, my elders, mainly alone.
This was simply an honest post/poll made by a regular poster.

Indeed, why would he??? Hmmm...nm
s
hmmm
I haven't heard that he is going to come back as victor jr. i dont think i would like that either, but i wanted him to come back and be with phyllis. sharon gets on my nerves, and i think she will end up with brad, and i dont like him too. heck, why do i watch the show haha.
also if you havent check out www.yrnews.com. its a great website, and has spoilers sometimes.
Hmmm, another one? lol

Hmmm, will try again

hmmm, that is too bad...
I feel that way about my mother - I love her but I don't usually like her that much! She just acts so childish and selfish most of the time, but she took good care of me when I was younger, and I definitely respect her for that. I know she'll always be there for me too, which is a wonderful thing. I guess I do like her half the time, but she really drives me nuts!
How old is your daughter? Maybe you could sit her down and explain to her that while friends come and go family is forever, and you are the one she will most likely come to when her life falls apart or she just goes through hard times. Tell her you would appreciate it if she would compromise with you on the dog thing - tell her it is her business, really, but you just want to help and purchase a doghouse for the dog. Apologize for maybe coming across the wrong way, but let her know your heart is in the right place here, and maybe you can't save the world, but this is a situation you can help with and that's all you're trying to do.
She may just be hypersensitive when it comes to you and might be holding onto old grudges or trying to get back at you for controlling her when she was younger or something - I don't know. Obviously you know her best, and if you think she'll freak out about a doghouse then maybe you're right, but I think it would be sad to ruin your relationship over a dog (my mom didn't talk to her mom for 2 years over a dog, and it was hard on the whole family!) Sometimes I think difficult people are put into our lives to make us stronger, better people, and it definitely sounds like you two are pushing each other to change/better yourselves. Sorry, I'm rambling, and I definitely don't have all the answers, but I wish you the best of luck with the situation!
N/T - hmmm let's see
They haven't shown Kimber and/or Matt in a while. Kimber is on tonight's episode. She got involved in porno again and is divorcing Matt. She told him she never loved him. The baby is with her and her new boyfriend (Bo Duke a/k/a John Schneider, who is the head of the porn studio). At one point Christian said that he wanted her to give up the baby, and she agreed, but of course the next thing you know she changed her mind and no one is doing anything about it. Matt blew himself up in a homemade Meth Lab and now he's getting clean. Julia can't decide whether she wants to be a lesbian or be with Christian although they supposed now love each other. The only problem is, Julia hasn't told Olivia yet. She hasn't been on in a really long time either.
Sorry so long. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me. Oh, and next week is the last episode for a while.
Hmmm
"I always have the mentality of not having enough money although realistically this is not the case"
You know...most people who feel they don't have the money don't generally take three vacations in one year. Just a thought.
hmmm
Whether or not they have insurance, if I knew they were taking a trip under the influence, I would make a call the local police department. They could kill someone.
Hmmm
From this post, my reaction is that she doesn't sound self-centered to me if she offered to take him in her house. That can be some hard work to take on. It sounds like she has the way she would take care of him and you have the way you would take care of him, and both your ways are different. That does not make her selfish, IMO. She is contributing the way she sees fit, and you are contributing the way you see fit.
Unfortunately, this is a pickle. If he is unable to care for himself because of all his conditions, there has to be some sort of compromise with his situation, meaning he will have to change his living arrangements in some way with home health or something along those lines OR change where he is living. I am not sure what his level of disability is from the post, because while blindness is a disability, it does not mean one cannot live by himself. I don't know how far the RA or heart problems are from your post.
You can take him to his PCP and he or she may have some ideas for you and some decent referrals as well.
Hmmm
She usually drinks the sparkling water with lime if I remember correctly but she has been eyeing the alcohol lately. Catherine has seen her and is the only reason why she hasn't drank since this whole David thing so maybe she fell off the wagon again. I bet David tries to say she was committing suicide.
Hmmm....
I think that is a weird attitude to have toward your child. Unfortunately, he is going to be out there is society doing these behaviors that make him so intolerable at home. It is your responsibility as his parent to ensure that he is fit for society so that he can be accepted and successful. Kicking him out on the road when he's 18 is not the answer. I have a 19-year-old and there were days that I was counting down until he went away to college, but no matter what, he's still my son. He is actually starting to act like a human this year, so there is hope. Just make sure you keep your heart open to him and not just wish he was gone. He can feel that from you and will resent you for it. You only get to do this once, so do your best, not just enough to get him by until he's 18. I don't want to sound judgmental, but your post does sound a bit harsh. Beleive me, I have also had my moments that I was more than harsh with my son, but make sure you give a lot of love too. 
Hmmm
I read the book also and never thought of that but that is a very good point!
I would not call it life-changing for me more thought provoking.
Hmmm...there have been so many
In high school I worked for the summer at a greenhouse. I was hired to clean it. We all know how much dirt plants have, but would anyone imagine how much dirt gets up in the support beams to the roof of a greenhouse?
I used to be a dogsitter and a house sitter for about 6 months when I was 18.
I worked in a college cafeteria.
I worked in a laundromat cleaning machines...that was kinda gross.
I worked 5 years as a CNA/CMA.
Oh, my most interesting one must have been when I worked for a year driving an 18-wheeler. You see just about anything/everything doing that. I can't tell those stories on here.
Hmmm, let's try it
Frontwards: SIS
BACKWARDS: SIS
Upside down: SIS
Doesn't matter I guess unless you turn the S backwards too. Upside down S is still S.
Hmmm ...
I don't think there is anything wrong with questioning God. He did give us minds and feelings after all.
It seems you are also being a bit self-righteous in telling someone if they don't believe in God it is the least of their problems.
No one knows for sure what the truth is and plenty of "God-fearing" people have huge issues ... of course they get Heaven as their consolation prize, don't they? Well, if they believe in the Christian God that is.
Not that it matters, but I have been a vegetarian basically since I was 15 (give or take a few smokey links in the few years after). I am now almost 50.
The meat I do think sounds good once in awhile is bacon. Seems like an odd choice, but it must be the texture and strong flavor.
I must be lonely, as I want to tell a little story. Some friends once rescued an ill runt from a litter of pigs. The husband made my girlfriend agree they would nurture it to healh and raise it to eat. She agreed even though she would have rather kept it for a pet.
When it grew up, they butchered it and put it in a big freezer in their basement. One day they noticed something smelled really nasty. Come to find out, one of their sons (whose room was in the basement) unplugged it for some reason, and all the meat was ruined!
The really sad part is that one of their dogs had made friends with that pig when it was little. They used to lie together and play. It was so cute.
Let me see, hmmm
No sweetners, no soy products, use sea salt only, not the blue box lady under the umbrella type, have filter on the water. No weight loss, still hair loss, dry skin. Glad it worked for you.
hmmm... I'm right along with ya..
as if all the junk he's putting your daughter through isn't bad enough, the part about him asking for money before he could pray for this lady.. apparently he is doing this for all the WRONG reasons.. I think he has major problems in more ways than one
With a body like that, hmmm you could also do
porno but just not the way I would want others to see me. Sorry, I have family that I just would not want to shame them much less myself. Just not an exhibitionist here.
Hmmm.. what good is
being skinny if you are confined to your bathroom? Yuk.
Hmmm, disrespectful?
Maybe it runs in the family?
You post in one paragraph about your 2 cousins, in their 40s yet, dropping dead of MIs, one just last night?
Then in paragraph 2 you joke around about dating.
The least you could have done was make two separate posts.
Tsk, tsk.
Hmmm.... you and Jan have exactly the same picture and
scripture at the bottom of each page. Let me see- are you the same???
Hmmm,,,use the guy only for his money so...
one does not wind up destitute even if you don't love him...Wow, you've come a long way baby! How feminist of you...There are good guys out there, prince charmings too, Wow, you must have really got burned at one time. Life is too short to be unhappy.
Hmmm, some people really like them
NM
Hmmm, I'd say probably a thief...
I agree with what you said, too...that's probably how I would have handled it!
Hmmm, a Dexatrim candle?
:
Hmmm...shows up for me right under the MQ board. nm
s
Hmmm, could make some type of
shutters too like the white boards but have them open like the old fashioned shutters. thanks
Hmmm, I don't think that would work for my situation
because it's not a civil split. We both want the dog and I think it is going to come down to the Judge's decision, just not sure what criteria they base it on. Thanks for all the replies.
Hmmm, wondered why they had the cap on that baby
in the Bahamas? Did anyone else notice that? Baby mama drama continues.
Hmmm, rather than warm weather, could it be
menopause? I don’t have the sweating during the night. As far as the weather, my grown daughter told me one time if she had been born where there was snow (as you are talking about) as soon as she grew up she would get outta there- it is just what you prefer. I have only been snowed in twice in the past say 15 years and that is fine with me. Oh, I do enjoy the soup and salad at Olive Garden- and eat without sweating.
