He takes his cellphone in the shower????

In Reply to: My SO is staying here a while - Am I being paranoid?
What the heck does he do for a living? If it does not require constant use of his cellphone, then no, you are not being paranoid! Do you always hear him on his phone? Does he make it a point for you NOT to hear him?
I don't know you, him, or the situation but something about this is bothering you to the point of putting out feelers here. I would not let him know about your **paranoia** yet, but I would not let him move in permanently either. You need to take some time to find out about this feeling you have. Could be nothing, but you need to find out on your own before discussing it with him.

oops - baby shower - wrong shower!
Sorry, tired eyes here. The thank you notes envelopes might stand and you could make a puzzle with baby words.
Baby shower gift or shower
Anyone have some creative or unique baby shower gift ideas or shower ideas? or what is something that you couldn't live without when you had your baby.
I have heard of giving a book instead of a card and signing the book. Also heard of wrapping the present in a blanket or crib sheet instead of spending money on paper to throw away. I have heard of charging an "admission fee" of a package or diapers or 1 package of diapers buys a raffle ticket for a prize.
Could she use a cellphone?
Maybe one of those kid ones that only dials home, then she could just hit one or two buttons.
Only take a cellphone and computer away?
She would be sitting in a room without anything, no television, no books, no activities of any kind, nothing except 4 walls. She probably has been "mouthy" for sometime and it seems like she has gotten by with it. Sorta late in the game to rein in now cause at 18 she basically can be on her own. I would cut off any funding to vehicles, phones, etc., etc. if she completely go against your wishes. You have a child out of control but this has not just happened, right?
Not all of us ENJOY being cellphone maniacs sm
I have gone to a friend's house for coffee. Yes, I carry a cellphone and yes, I text frequently. I talk some too. Where I live we all have to have Verizon because nothing else works. If you don't have a Verizon cell, no one will talk to you. There are only about 15 land lines in a town of 1400 people. I carry it with me and I have a tone for the text messages so I know the difference. Do I enjoy this? No! It is necessity and I consider a cellphone a necessity, but not a toy.
Back to the story...at this friend's house, her daughter is there and so is another adult. That is 4 of us. During the hour I was there, each of them had more than 2 calls and many texts. They interrupted our conversation for EVERY SINGLE CALL AND TEXT. I found it very disruptive and RUDE.
Your so-called friends were RUDE. If they really wanted to include you, all they needed to do was actually call you and ask you to come to them. Instead, they tried to show up by using a text when you are not a texter. When I add a new friend to my cellphone, I ask if they are text capable because you'd be surprised how many people are not. They don't understand that no everyone is a fanatic about texting or technology.
So how many times did they interrupt conversations for the stupid cellphone?
One way to turn off people from texting you is to use all your Expander shortcuts and all the weird stuff they use on IMs and texts. R U hom? hv u got cof on? cmg ov nw. Gets them every time!
Is Sprint the cellphone provider? Thanks for responding!

Is cellphone bill of close to $400 a month typical?sm
I'm curious to know this. It isn't mine nor DH. I find it very high, but DH says it may be from texting or whatever. Person has state of the art "phone", which does many things, but $400?
Thanks.
It only takes once.. and it's too late
Children have been severely injured and decapitated by passenger side airbags even at low-speed accidents. Google airbag, child, decapitation. I wouldn't chance it even once.
Well, now that just takes care of everything
The g'mother said this lady has had trouble getting pregnant and thus the treatments? I mean, does the g'mother not realize that 6 is entirely too many and should have been on birth control rather than getting in vitro. This woman apparently smart in some ways as she has degree and said working towards masters but needs some real psychiatric check- I am obsessed with stromboli but I don’t have them 24/7. The g'mother recently filed for bankruptcy- well that takes away what the g'father said about being able to afford all, right? G'mother also stated when the mother got home from the hospital, "I will be gone." I would not be surprised to see some kind of intervention from the state here. I know not the reason but the state swooped in and got the kids in another state that were named after Hitler and some other cracked-up name, forgot the others, seemed bordering on KKK or something to that effect not sure though.
My husband never takes his off.
I never wear mine because my fingers swell. He has bought me 3 wedding rings over the years, different types, different sizes. It all depends how swollen my hands are as to which one I wear or whether I wear any of them.
Well, that sure takes care of everything
Just a yes, gonna take that and run with it.
Yep, I do too. I really do it up for Christmas & it takes a lot of time to put
enjoy it as long as possible! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So, it takes 32 years of training?
Which training method yielded results so quickly? (I'm nearing 16 years, I might need to refine my technique)
Does he get a diploma, or a certificate? Or a ribbon?
That takes some nerve in my opinion.
It is not like you have any say so in your son's graduation, and in my book that would be more important to me than my nephew's wedding. It if interferes with the wedding, so what. There is nothing you can do about it.
one way to find out, don't contact him, see how long it takes
maybe he does not want to hurt your feelings by saying helikes to hear from you; however, he is not contacting you, so stop contacting him and you'll get your answer.
that's the viral load - takes 2 weeks I think....sm
That's the one i was talking about - the hep C HCV-RNA....that's the viral load and as I recall, I think that's a 2-week test, but I could be wrong...(I am the one from the prior threat who has it and was posting with you last week and have this test yearly) - anyway - try to relax and perhaps the nurses/assistants don't even know this test takes 2 weeks IF THEY SENT IT FROZEN...I remember they couldn't do the test because it was not frozen.....at one point. Now, when I go, I make sure to ask *does that go frozen or not?*

Good luck to you. It takes patience, but
you will have better credit. Some people think it's no big deal if their credit score or credit report is bad, but in this economy financial institutions are really cracking down on who money is lent to. I read that GMAC isn't financing anyone whose credit score is under 700 credit score and if they do, it will be at a horrible rate.It's only going to get worse too I'm sure. Long ago I was in your shoes, so I can relate. My DH and I have a credit score of over 800 now and believe me, it's worth it to have a good credit history, it just takes one day at a time.
My family takes pictures of the open
casket. When my dad was still living and someone was showing these pictures, he would go through and take them out for me because he knew I could not stand looking at them. When he died, my mom had pictures made and had a copy made for me. That was 12 yeras ago and to this day she still has those copies, I really don't want them. She even had us stand by the casket and had pictures made (her, my sister, and me).
Takes a total of about 10 seconds to click
on every site. I sincerely hope anyone that visits this site would want to help all of them.
Wait a minute, Pinky! It takes two....sm
...to conceive a child, unless you're the Virgin Mary 2000 years or so ago. Calling the young woman a sl*t, a very shaming label, just clouds the issue. And yes, adoption is a viable option if the girl and her parents are neither willing nor able to keep the baby, financially and emotionally. But it has to be their choice. I hate abortion, but that's not what we're talking about.....anyhow, shaming labels don't help the discussion. I'm too old to even remember having the natural and normal desires of youth, LOL, but these things happen. Even back in my day, some young couples, as we put it, "had to get married."
They resent anybody on aid, especially food stamps, and have no clue what it takes to get them.

He just got over a bad bout with bronchitis so that is why he stayed home. Dad always takes sm

Go affter it, doesn't matter how long it takes!
Doesn't matter if he loses his job, then it is in the 'system' and whenever he holds a job, he has to pay!
Good luck!
it takes 3 weeks for a baby bird to learn to
We have to watch the dogs and cats really close until all the babies leave the yard and it is a long three weeks. Our babies usually hide in the pumpkin patch during flight school with mama guarding from the fence.
shower...(OP)
Thanks y'all for all the great replies...apparently I am not alone in my feelings here!
Anyway, as I mentioned, this is my DH's family...the ultimate shower-givers. They give a shower for every baby (in my family, it's 1st baby only...unless--like mine--they're 8 years apart), every wedding, new home purchase...anything you can think of. BUT...the kicker is...if I don't show up to this thing, next year when my DD graduates and I have her grad party, they WON'T show up...that's just the way they are. So, I'm thinking of taking a "vacation" that weekend and just mailing a card with my "greenbacks"---BTW, love the fake money idea---after all, that's all she really wants, right?
Ah, families---aren't they just WONDERFUL---
Time. That's all it takes. I took in a recliner full of smoke and a few years later sm
looks brand new and smells like my own home now. It was really bad with smoke. Same with books. It just takes time. It will eventually go away. Unfortunately, nothing I know works for that without ruining the books.
My husband usually gets a 12,000 bonus every year in March and then takes home around 7 or 8. It IS
sickening - that the Govt. gets that much out of taxes. I hate it. WE are standing behind the Fair Tax for this very reason. Somethings gottah happen. Remember the Boston Tea Party? This govt is just out of control in its spendind. 39% How is one supposed to live when we only bring home 70% of our actual pay? Doesn't that anger some of you?????????????????????????????????????????
Shower curtain or not?
I have a bathroom that goes off my office and really not used but having a dinner later on and I do not have a shower curtain here. I had the bathroom painted and did not want to get a rod that would have to be on the painted part as afraid it would pull my paint off if removed. The shower/tub is a wrap around and being as I do not have another shower curtain in the house (enclosed showers) wondering if anyone can tell me, does the rod fit on the shower part or would it fit outside, that being on the painted part. I hope this makes sense. Any suggestions?
Wedding shower...
My niece is getting married in August and is having a shower in July. Long story short, they live together, have been for a looonnnggg time now. On the invite, it says "Money preferred" with a bunch of $$$ around it. They're calling it a "greenback shower"...Is it just me, or is this totally disgusting and greedy? Makes me not wanna go. Also, I am not even sure how much to give. We never see them, only at family functions (DH's family..... )...anyway, is it just me that feels this way?
wedding shower
I agree. I think they have a lot of nerve expecting guests to "finance" their life together. Are they getting married after so long just to make some bucks? Or are you supposed to help offset the cost of this wedding? Are they registered? I'd give her a gift (if that's what you'd prefer). If you feel you have to give money, I'd probably stay in the $25.00 range or whatever you feel comfortable giving. Of course, you could always make an excuse and not go. After all, they'll probably want money as a wedding gift also!
Good for you! I think a hot shower sometimes can
do wonders. I know what you mean about the flashing in the field of vision. My mom and I get that, too. She describes it as zig-zaggy lines. I only had that about 3 times, but was at the mall and was trying to read a price tag and could not understand why everything started to look wierd. You are right. . the headache came later. My mom said if she took something the minute she saw the flashing, etc. she was okay, but it she waited too long she got a terrible headache. I am glad you avoid that one! 
shower head
 I'm looking for a shower head that will help me get all the shampoo & conditioner out of my hair. I have one that allows me to adjust the settings and that helps. I think the problem is that I am so short that even with the high pressure it doesn't completely remove all the shampoo since I am so much farther down than the shower head. I want to get one of the removable ones but before I went and spent the money I was hoping for suggestions. Whenever I go to my hairstylist, my hair always feels so much better for a week or two after she rinses it with that high-pressure sprayer so close to my head. I'm sure her shampoo makes some diffference too, although I'm pretty sure it is just not being able to completely rinse my hair out that is causing me the frizzies. Thanks for any suggestions on a reasonablly priced shower head.
I moisturize right out of shower, then go sm
do other things getting ready, then do my BE. I think it is better if your face has dried.
isn't that a baby shower?

Try baby oil in the shower but
Also, only pat yourself dry after showering and make sure the water is not too hot, and then put the baby oil on.
My fav lotion so far and I've tried quite a few is St. Ives the one with collagen. It's not even that pricey.
Another good one is Eucerin as mentioned above, but also Avon has Moisture Therapy that is wonderful and hubs loves that one plus one from Bath and Body Works but it's pricey but he says it stays with him. He hates "the girly stuff" but he doesn't want eczema patches to form.
Does it clean the bottom of the shower/tub also?

Give 'em a shower! sm
I spray mine with 409, let it sit for about 10 minutes and then shower it off. Or, I stick them out in a down pour and they get nice and clean.
Shower/Wedding gifts
The only time that I give money or a gift card as a gift is if I am traveling to the wedding and then it is just easier than trying to pack a gift, get it through security, etc. When I take a gift, if it is something that is duplicated or something the couple does not want or need - I leave it up to them to return it - I let them figure out where it came from and how to return it with no gift receipt. Today's brides and grooms are a bit too greedy and ungrateful for my taste - I can't count how many thank-you notes I have never received - so I make them work if they want a return - which now days usually cannot be for cash.
After your shower, elevate legs
and rub lotion into your feet. The massaging action with your feet elevated really moves the blood out of them that collects during a warm shower.
why pay for him to have heat, bed, shower, food.

Run a hot steamy shower in the bathroom and
Put the baby in the bathroom alongside of you, of course, but not in the shower. Just try to get the baby to get the steam from the shower. I used to do this when mine were little, and it worked great.
baby shower gift
I see all these different gifts here and they are all just wonderful gifts. Something that we REALLY appreciated after the birth of our twins was a couple of friends paid for a housecleaning service to come over and do a one time big cleaning for us. We were a month early with them and while I really appreciated every single present we received, that one was a biggie. Also, your time. While the cleaning people came in, the hubby came over and helped my hubby get the cribs together and a dresser (we were not quite ready (lol)) . And the wife helped me with the children and picked up some food. Also restaurant gift card or now even a Visa gift card would be great. That way it can be used for anything they need, now or later on. Hope this helps. Main thing is, give it with your heart.
