Did you try Replacements Limited to search for your pattern pieces? Or even an eBay search? ..sm
Replacements Limited has been very helpful to me in the past. If you're determined to paint your own, go into Michael's and check through all their paints for those made especially for glass and ceramics. You'll end up having to hand wash and dry your item since the paint can't be fired on, but it should work, even if you have to keep touching it up as the years go buy. But do a search first and maybe you'll get lucky that way! :)
Report him to the police, let the police...
help you solve the problem.
It is obvious that you and your mom alone cannot do it on your own.
You are much too lenient, if you let it go on, it will not end well.
Many of my age retired by now
I have absolutely no problem in telling my age, none because people usually taken aback in the fact cannot believe my age (65 next year), don't go into detail about that face lift. Anyway, I cherish the age I am, wish I could have gone back a few years and made a few changes but life is great at this age, no money problems, don't have to work 2 full time jobs (only part now), take nice trips when I want, kids out of the house, and the deals you get - reductions on property taxes, movies, meals. More money now and less to pay out. I love it! Got retirement funds kicking in next year and still able to work so that is the icing on the cake for me. The 40s were not particularly good for me - hopefully better for you but Happy Birthday and live it up!
I don't think she ever WAS retired. sm
And for the record, I am way closer to Ms. Knowles' age than I am to Ms. Turner's, so don't go assuming I'm some old housewife who can't hear through my hearing aids.
Beyonce is so incredibly boring and UNoriginal I can't even stand to pay attention to her through a full song. And WHAT is with the underwear outfits. Those gargantuan thighs should not see the light of day.
And she has the WORST verbal skills, girl cannot pronounce a word properly to save her life.
as I understood it when my parents retired--sm
and were on social security, they could only earn a certain amount above that social security. anything over that, they had to file. they may also reduce ss benefits by the amount earned. I may be wrong, but that was how I understood it. My mom is 78, completely on ss, has no other income, and does not have to file income tax.
I'm pretty sure it is allowed - my mom is retired but (sm)
She is still on my stepfather's insurance and not Medicare. I don't think it is required at all. You may be able to use it as secondary, though, I don't know. http://questions.medicare.gov/cgi-bin/medicare.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?
Retirement and info on MTs who are semi-retired
Ok, fellow workers, MTs has answered questions in the past for me. I am almost 64 and would like to be a part-time employee and get my social security; however it is of concern to me about how much a person can make a month and how many hours you are allowed to work. I hear money is taken from your SS check if you make over so much a month. I would get now $1500 plus a month from SS but I enjoy working and even work some overtime so just concerns. Anyone out there with any thoughts about this, sure would enjoy hearing from you. TIA
retired homemaker for social history -
most of us know that would mean dead!!! Like Social Security comes in and does the dishes for us?

Rescue has a dog that needs
fostering, and I have said I'd foster it.
It's a Siberian husky, a lovely young adult, judging by his picture. If he hasn't been named I'm thinking of Juneau.
I'm excited, but DH is not happy, which I don't get at all. The rescue organization pays for vet fees, so all we have to do is love him, do any training, feed him, walk him, socialize him, and keep him safe. I'm hoping he and Sasha will make use of the back yard. Our CJ was a snugglebug, but had no use for outside play, and Sasha expects me to play chase with her through the house 3 times a day.
I would definitely rescue him if you like...sm
him. He would be much better off on your screened porch than out homeless. At least he would have a place to sleep and food. He would also have vet care and someone who gave him attention.
Is there a dog rescue in your area?
I would call them ASAP. They will probably know exactly what is going on with her. They may have meds to treat her too.
rescue remedy
Yup, it's good for animals in distress too - my aunt carries it in her car in case she finds a critter that's been struck by a car or something! It calms them right down.
Maybe a cat or dog rescue group needs help. - nm

I have 3 rescue meals (sm)
1) Southwestern Chicken in a crock pot - 4-5 ingredients
This works either with or without the chicken. The chicken can be breasts, tenderloin strips, or legs, doesn't matter.
2 cans corn
2 cans black beans
1 large jar salsa
sour cream or cream cheese to taste
chicken if desired, as explained above
Toss it all in the crock pot, set the crock to low. Come back 3-4 hours later and eat.
2) Chicken casserole, Easy Style
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of celery soup
Mix the above up with 2 cups of instant rice on the bottom of a casserole baking dish. Top it off with chicken breasts or strips. salt and pepper that chicken to taste. Add whatever other seasoning you want to the chicken while you're at it.
Bake at 350 until the chicken is done.
3) If you have an Aldi, their stir-fry chicken or shrimp in a bag for $3.99 is really good. If I'm feeling extravagant, I toss in an extra bag of jumbo shrimp for another $3.99. Cook according to package directions in about 10-15 minutes total. Cook a cup of instant rice to go with. Feeds 2 adults easy, sometimes we get the kids to take no-thank-you-bites of that one (they're not big fans of veggies, LOL!)
I am a member of a rescue
Wow. What it sounds like is your "friend" is a lazy good for nothing.
I belong to Ohio Pug Rescue. It is a volunteer organization but we do have fundraisers, yearly dues, take donations, etc. and four times a year, the money we take in and the money that goes out (and what it went for) is published for all members to see. (One year, I couldn't think of a thing I wanted for my birthday when the girls at work asked, so I asked them to buy dog food, dog toys, dog shampoo, *anything* dog. I ended up with a great donation for our rescue). We ask no questions when someone wants to give up a pug and nobody makes any money. We constantly have pugs coming in and they are automatically spayed or neutered, have any health concerns taken care of and have a teeth cleaning with possible extractions. They are sent to foster homes until they are found a forever home (and believe me, we're strict about who can take one in). Yes, there is a fee for the rescue pug - around $200-400 depending on how much vet work had to be done, etc. But again, we all do it for free. Any money left over, if there is any, is kept in the account because there are always new pugs coming in that need something.
Our volunteers volunteer in different capacities - some travel to pick up the pugs, some foster, some do the fund raising or whatever. My name and phone number are with all the local animal shelters and with the local dog warden should they have an unclaimed pug they're going to put down.
Is there a way you can get completely out of this thing you started with her? To me it sounds like she started making money on it and just squeezed you right out.
You may just have to cut your losses and maybe consider starting another rescue. Or, do a Google search. Perhaps you can join an existing local rescue. Bless your heart for caring. I walk our dogs in a field and around a plaza and there are about a dozen cats (I'm not saying this to be funny) that live behind the Chinese restaurant part of the plaza. Someone feeds them, has provided shelter and water. My neighbor took one of the cats in several years ago (it wandered up onto our street). Last year, we took one in that followed me home from a walk. We took it to the vet, got tons of mites cleaned from his ears, got him all his shots and had him neutered. I made him stay inside for a week (he loved to follow us on our walks, staying just a yard behind). The firt time I let him out after his surgery, he was run over by a car. How does that go? Que sera sera? I won't take anymore in. $300 in vet bills and a dead cat. He grew up an outdoor cat, there just wasn't any way I was going to be able to keep him indoors.
So, pugs it is and pugs it always will be for us. :-)
I work in animal rescue. sm
The best way is to run an ad in a newspaper. I always use the neighboring bigger city newspaper and have had wonderful success. I also run what we call 'e-mail campaigns' with pictures and information, also with success. ALWAYS ask for a reasonable fee. Our adoptions are $90. There are good people out there looking for older, settled dogs...just got to get the information to them. If you do go this route please really listen when you are on the phone with them. If they start talking about having wanted a young dog or puppy, they are not the right choice. State in your ad the age and temperament. Also, the prospective adopters come to my house and visit the animal first with the knowledge that it is a meeting only....to see if they like the dog and if the dog likes them. Again, it has never been a problem. Good luck.
Calling Animal Rescue-sm
I only have a couple minutes here since I am working but will check responses later today. I did something today I never thought I would do, called the police and animal rescue on a dog owner. I've been kinda watching the family that owns this golden retriever not far from where I live as he gets tangled on bushes and cannot get out of the sun and today I went to untangle the poor thing from a bush and noticed he seemed very sick. I figured he was nearing heat stroke as he was panting very, very heavily, glazed eyes and unable to stand so I called the police and then called animal rescue. I think I may have been too late. The police tell me he may not make it. They came with Animal Rescue, took pictures and took the dog with them. I'm just sick over it. We have a golden and he simply cannot take the heat at all. The breeder said for us to keep him in AC for the summer so we do. I plan to call Animal Rescue later to find out how he is. I wanted to take the dog myself from the house but figured I could get in trouble over it. I think I did the right thing. The poor guy was just flopping around and could hardly hold up his head let alone stand up. I hope they get charged with animal neglect. It's a young family, work all day, couple of kids who hit the dog and they tie him out at 6 am and bring him in at 9 pm. No life for a dog. 
how about a Yorkie rescue organization
Most breeds have rescue operations for their specific breed. I wish I would have known about breed rescues when I got my dogs. I would have definitely gotten them from the rescue instead.
Wal-Mart to the rescue...what we found...sm
ring just like she wants for $124.99. The exact same quality and design of ring through the school contact? $335. Someone's getting rich off of students if allowed! The best part is she'll have the ring within 2 weeks from Wal-Mart versus 3 months from the school vendor.
At the rescue where I adopted my cats, they have - sm
volunteers to clean cages & feed kitties, and one day when I was there they had a girl (about 12 years old) who was actually getting some kind of school credit for coming every day to socialize and play with a large litter of kittens so that they'd be adoptable. It was so cute to see her in the kitten-room playing with the little feather-wand with them. They were jumping all over the place, climbing in her lap, etc. They LOVED her! They ALL got adopted, (and they were all BLACK kitties, too!) So that girl did a wonderful service to all the kittens.
Animal Rescue Organization
My son forwarded this message to me. I checked it out and it is legitimate. All it takes is a click - no cost to you at all. Let's help these animals!
Animal Rescue
Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple...
Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is
having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their
quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected
animals.
It takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site
and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals'
for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate
sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to
abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com
There are greyhound rescue people who SM
help get them adopted after their racing career is over. The ones I have seen are beautiful and well-behaved. You could look into that.
I'm a cat lover, but I have been very impressed with these beautiful, well-behaved dogs.
Do a search....
Vista has been a topic at least 10 times in the last month.
got these off of a search
applesauce
pureed prunes
apple butter
fruit-based fat substitutes
ricotta cheese
bananas (mashed)
butter
So glad to hear Shasha is a rescue....
i have a special place in my heart and life for rescues and feel the need to speak out on their behalf. if dh passed by them all, then this must be the dog for your family.
good luck with whomever you choose...your dogs are very lucky to be part of your household. 
Have you looked for local rescue groups?
Sometimes local rescue groups will help you to get your pet placed in a good home. I would do this before sending her to the pound or placing an ad.
Just got a foster dog from a local rescue group
Very sweet, but has a bad cough that's been going on for over a week. I've been asking the rescue group if I can take him in to the vet, but they keep saying no. I don't have a job, so I don't have the money to do it myself (I do have the time). I'm certain the rescue group is concerned about money, but this seems unfair to me and the dog. For all I know he could have any number of things wrong. They are telling me it's a cold, and to just wait until he's better before he goes in to be neutered.
What's the right thing to do? What should I tell the group's organizer?
Suggestions?
Thanks.
I knew of a pit pull rescue that does background...sm
Checks on potential adopters, an will only adopt to women - no men. My hat is off to pit bull rescuers. Must be very tough...
I hope you get him! I just adopted a 2nd rescue kitty - sm
on Thursday. She's a 7-year-old Exotic Shortnair Persian with the cutest little personality and face! Her tongue sticks out all the time (VERY flat face!), and she's tiny, only weighs about 5 or 6 pounds. She looks a little bit like "Yoda" from Star Wars. My other Persian is interested, but still feeling threatened and hissing a lot. But today, only 2 days later, they're at least coexisting peacefully. Hopefully in a few weeks they'll be FRIENDS.
aussie fires and animal rescue

Vote for Hans and benefit Siberian rescue
...Southern Siberian Rescue may win $5,000 in free food from ProPlan. http://www.rallytorescue.com/more_for_pets_voting.aspx Please crosspost and pass this email to any and everyone you know as well!!! I attach a flyer in the event you would like to post at your vets office, your work, local pet stores or anywhere you deem appropriate. :-)
Some of you may remember Hans, the 8 y/o boy we pulled out of Franklin County, NC in August of 2006. He was beat up pretty bad with infected holes in his head and face, teeth hanging horizontally in his mouth, fractured jaw, emaciated, heartworm positive, etc. etc. We did an ebay Auction to raise monies for his medical treatment. Well, Hans was adopted in March to a wonderful couple in Raleigh with a 7 y/o silver and white female Siberian. They just adore him and he is the perfect fit for their family.
We are signed up with ProPlan's Rally to Rescue Program and in February they asked the Ambassadors to submit up to two stories on our rescued pets for their Doing More for Rescued Pets Contest. We submitted Hans' story and they selected him as one of the top 10 finalists. YIPPEE. As a top 10, Southern Siberian Rescue and Hans's adopters win a year of free food for one pet and a 3 day/2 night trip to CA in October for the Rally to Rescue
Ambassador Party, where they will announce the winning pet. They have listed the finalists at http://www.rallytorescue.com/more_for_pets_voting.aspx and voting will go through September 30. Please take a moment and vote for Hans. It only takes a second and costs you nothing. :-) You can submit one vote per email address so if you have multiple email addresses, please vote under each one. The winning pet/rescue will receive $5,000 of free
food and we could really use that food. If you would like to see his transformation pictures you can go to www.southernsiberian.com and his personal website and full story can be seen at http://www.southernsiberian.com/foster_dogs__hans.html.
What a great journey for Hans. It's a true rags to riches story. I can't believe he's a star and going to CA!!!!! He is also a TV star now too as NBC 17 did a story on him June 22. It was a fantastic story. What a great adventure for a boy that had such a rough start.
Thanks.

The purebred was a rescue. The others are half-husky. I respect
several books on wolves. They're not "pets" like most people have, she has a sanctuary.
You should search for the cause of your anger. It may be deeper
!!!!!!!!!!!
Could not even find it on google search. ?? sm
what is it?
Search Bake-able paints...
Here is one site with some info Carol Duvall.

What is your pattern name on back? I bought a magnolia pattern several years ago, actually paied $72 for an 8 piece setting from ABC Distributing. Gold trim with wine and hunter green stripe on outside with pinecones, magnolias and Berries, Magnolia pattern from Tienshan China. Curious if it is same set. Later I meb my best friend of 10 years now. We are so much alike and were stunned to know that we had the same set of china. Identical pattern. The only difference was that hers had a gold, wine and then deep blue band where mine was green. Hers also cost several hundred dollars and was a Savannah pattern or something of the like. What if you got a solid color gravey boat other than white, to match the set and maybe trimmed it with gold. Would still like to know that pattern.
I just did a quick search and everything I read--sm
says anemia, pica, or low iron...of course it also mentioned pregnancy cravings...so, ummmm. LOL
Can you get a copy of the lab results? A search is..sm
showing that quite a few bugs can cause those rare infections including E. coli 0157:H7, the Listeria family (listeriosis), Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella typhimunium, and the funguses from the mycoses family, but you said this was a bacteria, just to name a few. And there's always MRSA and MRSE, too. Ask the doc for a definitive diagnosis so you can be more informed, and my prayers are with you and your family. nm
Good Search engine
Hi Folks,
I am wonderng how many MTs know about the search engine Good Search. This is a search engine like Google but it is really neat because for every search 1 penny is donated to the not-for-profit group of your choice. You can pick out the group you would like your donations to go through by clicking on the letter of the alphabet and searching for your charity.
Of course I hope you will choose the group I volunteer with which is Pet Rescue By Judy, http://www.petrescuebyjudy.com
At any rate, this is a wonderful way for MTs to donate money to charity without any real effort on our parts and since there are so many of us we really have a great opportunity to help these groups. You can still use your other search engines but any clicks for charity over on GoodSearch will help! You can also use it when you do online shopping, say for instance on eBay. If you go to GoodSearch and just click on the shopping icon and then on eBay, you can shop as usual but a percentage will be paid to the charity of your choice and it does not cost you anything. They have many places participating in their shopping program.
Thanks for considering this

College search - For those of you who have had experience -
In your opinion, is it more fruitful to go on an open house when all the departments are out there with handouts and such, or on individual or small group appointments with maybe a little more one-on-one?
I'm overwhelmed already, and we've only been to two colleges!
I just did a very quick google search and...sm
several people said scrubbing nail polish remover worked for them (not for others). Unfortunately, you seem to have quite a mess to deal with. IF it does work, maybe you could get the girl to come back and help clean it up? A good chance to teach the girl that inappropriate behaviors bring consequences, a lesson she does not seem to be learning from her parents. Good luck with that carpet.
Good luck in your search...
Also remember, anything that says is is like 10k gold--especially white gold--also has nickel. Be very careful with your skin!
I am one of those people who belongs in a bubble almost literally.
