In Reply to: I don't believe in heaven either... - Hayseed
My beliefs are similar to yours - I do believe that their is something within us that lives on, but I don't know in what form or how. I have studied many religions and I think there is some truth in almost all of them, but none of them have a corner on THE truth - if there is sich an animal.

AWW thanks for putting that up I love cats but son's allergic
I don't think I will be able to have a cat for at least 10 years. He's on shots but I don't know if he will able to tolerate them. He went over to a friends's house last night that had cats and he didn't have hives but they made him sneezy/sniffly.
Anyway thanks for showing us those beautiful babies!
Hayseed I usually love your posts but (sm)
I don't have any health problems from my weight - it is just an issue of attractiveness for him. And he is almost never home so I can't go exercise because I have to be here with the kids. It is just an issue of control with him. If I would just do things exactly has he says to do them he would be happy. The hug this morning was BS - sorry, but it was.
not Hayseed, but I LOVE my Steelers (3-0 as of 9/23)

I think I'd love to live where you do Hayseed
When you describe everything in your posts it sounds beautiful. I live in Upstate NY and we always win the award for most snow ever in Central New York. What an honor. LOL. I have to go out in the mornings put my daughter on the bus, but that'll be the only time I'm out unless I have to go to the store. I don't like ice either. I have a four wheel drive Jeep, but I'm still afraid to drive when the roads are icy.
Let your heart heal. I love Hayseed, but I am the same sm
exact situation you are in right now. Someone in my family did the same thing - then I found out it was extreme jealousy on her part, but she tore into me out of blue and for no reason when I've always been kind and sweet with her. The first time I forgave her, 3 years later she did it again! It was like a rabid dog that I didn't know was rabid. It's just pure hatred on her part. I've done nothing wrong to deserve this kind of treatment.
But then there are birthdays and holidays and this past year I haven't gone to any of them because of her. My stomach cannot bear to see her or be near her. Everyone is upset over this broken relationship - Some say that I should suck it up and go to functions where she is at and be sweet so she doesn't have the upper hand. I can't even do that. I apologized via email a few months back because I am a Christian and felt that was the right thing to do. I got no response.
I really don't care that my mom and mother in law are upset over our relationship. I can't help it. It sounds like this person who did you wrong is a fool, just like this other family member, and we need to guard our hearts. Don't go. If you don't feel in your spirit that you need to go,then don't. I avoid this woman like the plague. I don't care what anyone says because I hear a lot about this like, "Oh, just ignore her." or "When you don't go she wins." Well, my life isn't a game and this isn't a game. she hurt me beyond words, I don't want to see her or ever be close to her again. I can't allow that. I must protect my heart. It isn't that I don't forgive her, but like my pastor says about a guy who stabbed him in the neck 20 years ago and lived to tell about it, "Hey, I'll never ask that guy out for a steak dinner but I do wish him well."
Good luck, hon. I feel for you. I truly do.....
Hayseed has my vote too!!! I'l love to see her on the debates!!

Preserving planet earth
I've begun my own conservation program this week in honor of earth day. I'm starting small...bought my first fluoroscent light and it's not too bad. REplacing my kitchen cleaning products with things like baking soda, whie vinegar, lemon juice and club soda as well as borax. These can be used for various things around the kitchen/bathroom and are much cheaper than store-bought chemical things. Not much but it makes me feel good that I'm doing my share little by little. For simple ideas do a Google search. There are plenty of sites that come up with simple suggestions that we can all do and benefit from.
Happy Earth Day..we should do this EVERYDAY!
We should be caring about planet (mother) earth EVERYDAY and not just on April 22nd.........
If we do not, someday there will no longer be a planet Earth......
Probably here on earth longer than you, but what I am talking about
is the fact that young females can have WITHOUT taking antibiotics. The post above me seems like it was set in concrete this was the problem and fabric softners. There are so many scare tactics here in the US and it just continues and everyone things the sky is falling, oh my!

Grandparents are Heaven on Earth
I have no kids so can only give you a viewpoint of how my grandparents shaped my life. I grew up very close (personally) to my grandparents (grandma was my second mom). My grandparents (moms side) lived up the road from us (about a 5 min walk with an open field between us). In the mornings we would walk outside and if she was out we would yell "hello up there" and grandma would yell back "hello down there". She took care of my sister and I during the day while mom worked. We went everywhere with her every day (hairdresser, butcher, stores, errands, church activities, her friends house, etc). She taught us how to whistle with a blade of grass, play "here is the church & here is the steeple, open the doors and see all the people" with our hands. We ate every Sunday supper with them and then she and grandpa moved the living room furniture and taught us how to polka to Lawrence Welk. We also ate there often during the week. Once a week we would spend the night at their house. Grandpa had a lawnmower repair and sales business but anytime I was having trouble in school, he would come in and after supper sit down and help me (mostly with math), but he didn't even think twice about not helping. He was the most unselfish person in the whole world. When I was feeling down about my grade on a report card or test (I was a C & D student, occasionally a B and very rare an A) he would ask me if I did the best that I could and I said I tried really hard but I just didn't understand. He told me as long as I tried the hardest I could he was proud of me. We grew up in the country and g'ma taught us about wild flowers, quilting, and other country type stuff. During the winter we would have sled parties at her house for my girl scout troop and she would bring out hot cocoa with mini marshmallows. Just a couple years ago my best childhood friend was telling me she had just been thinking about that sled party and my grandma bringing us the hot cocoa, and I just have so many wonderful life memories the list would go on and on. She died when I was 16 (30 years ago), grandpa died a few years ago. I miss them so much it still hurts. My dad's grandparents lived 15 minutes from us and we spent every Sunday afternoon with them and when I was old enough to drive I would go up on my own during the weekdays and sit at the table and talk and talk with grandma for hours. I miss them both so much too. I think grandparents are the most wonderful gift a child could have. I was blessed to have mine live so close to us. They spoiled us rotten and we loved it!
Oh how I dream of being young again and having my grandparents to talk to. I'm now 48 and live alone with husband. All my grandparents and mom are gone, dad lives across the country and I see him once every 3 years. I sure do miss them all. I hope all kids have a chance to be close to their grandparents the way I was.
My mom (when she was alive) and dad all have fond memories of their parents (they both told me they had the best parents anywhere).
So the only way I can sum it up is that "Grandparents are Heaven on Earth".
Earth Quake...NC Indiana
I live in north central Indiana, and slept right through it. When my sister got to work her boss was talking about it. What was it rated? I haven't heard.
Ain't no way on this earth I am going to live in fear
You all are really lacking a lot to have this man rule your lives. If you were a man I would tell you to man up but both of you lack a backbone.
Earth in proportion to Sun, other solar systems

We had an astronomy presentation for our Girl Scout troop Friday by one of the girls' dad. The above web site is just a few pics of the size of the Earth in proportion to the rest of the universe that we know about. I never knew this. We really are like the speck in Horton hears a Who!!
why on Earth does the guy mowing his lawn at night
not sure why you live in suburbia if you can't handle it. Sounds like you need to be in the country!!
why on god's green earth are 8 jumbo crayons
a pack of 8 regular sized crayons is 2 for $1. I can get a pack of TWENTY FOUR crayons for 17 cents. But a pack of 8 large sized is $1.50 a pack at the cheapest. I found them at winn dixie for 2.99 a pack. I need 2 packs. Six dollars for 16 crayons?? That's highway robbery...geez

I've heard good things and about things about taking prednisone. My mom was on it for SM
for awhile and it made her look so swollen. I sympathize with you.
If I got rid of my land line, how on earth would I be able to call my cell to find it!
LOL! I misplace my cell all the time. I use my land line to call my cell so that I can find it.

She is still herself...she is not putting herself out there (sm)
for a beauty contest, she is an entertainer, looks the best for herself. She cannot become someone else. She still has a right to perform.
Are you putting down a lot, like half?
I don't understand how you can even get such a high mortgage. Is that really possible? My husband and I make over 100K and have great credit and I know for a fact the most we MAY get approved for is 300,000 and that's with a lot of luck. Please enlighten me!
I was actually out putting trash out when
the police car got there. The neighbors, as I said before were not home at the time. The officer asked if I was the caller and when we were talking about the problem the neighbors pulled up. I was not about to wimp out and act like it was a big surprise that the police were there. I confronted the issue and was not two-faced about it. Since I worte this morning I found out that this guy went to the neighbors and complained about me and asked if they had any problems with his dogs barking. Each and every one stood up for me 100%. What I don't understand is why he didn't apologize to me after driving me crazy for so long instead of being rude and acting like a two-year-old. The police agreed and told him so. Also, as I stated before I was not sad about the neighbor. I was sad about the dogs. Their barking was not their fault. They need supervison and the neighbor needs to know that each of us in a neighborhood needs to be mindful of others. I am glad I did what I did now.
What I am doing is putting vinyl down...sm
that looks like wood. It is in vinyl planks. Do it yourself easy. Me and my mom put it down. My son's room cost about $80 to put down in there. My hall floor is only costing $38 and is looks very nice. I don't care if it is cheap it looks much better and is lots cleaner.
I don't see a problem with putting that on there, but...(sm)
Maybe it's me, but I don't see why it has to be addressed at all. Just put the start and end times of party on the girls' invitations and the sleepover thing on the boys' invitations. It certainly would be acceptable to put the explanation in the invitation if you feel the need to. I don't think the girls' parents are going to be upset either way. I certainly wouldn't let my girl stay at an allnight sleepover with a bunch of boys or vice versa -- no matter the age LOL :)
The car isn't worth more even after putting in a
you might be able to call a local automobile salvage yard, auto recycling center, or junkyard place to see if they would come out, look at it, and see what they would be willing to pay you for the parts....
Try putting up some aluminum foil.......sm
to see if that will work. I know that for woodpeckers doing this scares them off. If this doesn't work, iF you have a county extension office office call and ask them what they recommend. Otherwise you can call a wild life preserve in your area for advice.
Good luck!
Well that makes me laugh, because putting

she keeps putting obxious instead of obnoxious. Tsk,tsk.

I see from your answer why the friend is putting you off.
No one posting has gotten anywhere close to what you are suggesting in your language. Shame on you.
Because you keep putting xx inside your email. That is your name. nm

I plan on putting them in a crock pot with
the roast and potatoes to cook all day. so maybe they will be okay. Thanks!
How about putting your hot water bottle/bag in SM
the microwave to just get the chill off ot it before you apply it. The house was frigid cold and I wanted to warm up. Kept it in for a little two long and the whole microwave and kitchen smelled of burned rubber for I don't know how long! TOP THAT, why doncha! 
That's not a bad idea. he's forever putting
a few $$ here and a few $$ there in his gas tank and he has a steady girlfriend. Maybe a gift card to the movie theatre too! TY!
Anyone not putting up Christmas lights?
I usually make a big to-do out of having the house and yard lit up, but this year I don't think I'm going to. The few hours they are on a night sure packs a punch on the electric bill. How bout everyone else?
Although for different reasons, I'm putting mine up
later than usual. I usually have them up by Thanksgiving, but this year I think I'm going to wait until the first weekend in December to do the outside lights. We don't usually light them every night. I'm going to start my indoor decorations then, too, but holding off on the tree until a week or 2 before Christmas.
Our current house is a little small and the tree really clutters it up. We're moving in January and have a lot to do before then. If I didn't have kids, I probably wouldn't put the tree up at all. I love Christmas, but things are just too hectic and cluttered right now.
putting up Xmas lights
Sorry if this may seem really dumb but I've never done this before - how do you attach the lights to siding on a house around windows and doors? It's not wood siding, it's an older home with aluminum siding.
This person is putting it harshly but ...
the message is correct. and I just came in the middle of your conversation so sorry if I got it wrong. However, this is a sore subject for me. I wish I could counsel people before they get to this point.
but I was with my now husband for 8 years before marrying him. My daughter, our daughter was 4 when we married. I say my daughter because I felt like a single mom the whole time even after we married.
Looking back and I am now past my prime, I am 45 and with a chronic illness, but looking back I wish I had just taken my special needs child and moved on with my life. but I stayed out of fear of being alone, fear of raising a special needs child on my own, fear of getting a disease, not being in a monogamous relationship, etc. and even though he eventually married me, I do not think he was nor is he now marriage material. I have stood by him, followed him from state to state with his work, helping him get through college, waiting on it to be my turn and it never is. So these days I have taken the attitude that I am on my own even though I am married. I do blame him in a way but I also blame myself. but he could have just as easily walked away too.
Rule number one take care of self first, be it school, career, financial independence, etc. then get married. Not the other way around. Some people form attachments with their long-term mates but some NEVER do.
Start now. Start today. Enroll in a school, train for something you can be financially independent doing, be happy with you first and the rest will follow later down the road.
(((hugs))) I wish you the best.
Not putting you down, but do you honestly believe Danny

Well, 10 years+ MTing, so kind of new...I see what you are saying about putting in a few sm
hours, etc. Can I be honest? I like working on holidays. I really do. BUT, that was not my point. My point was that I don't like other MTs telling me that I SHOULD work that day. And that is my obligation. Because to that I say, no it isn't!
