Here's some info you should pass on
Posted By: New Englander on 2009-01-09
In Reply to: I worry more being home alone working all day. - That's when most burglaries are done -sm
And to all who read this. I received an email from my cousin (of course one of those forwarded emails so you don't know how true it is, but I could imagine it could happen). Anyway...the email said that when people come up to you to hand you a pamphlet or brochure do not accept it because what they are doing is putting some chemical on the paper that makes the recipient feel faint, disoriented, and then they come back and rob them. After reading that whether or not it's one of those "email hoaxes" my DH said that it certainly could happen expecially with all the criminals we have today. We don't open the door for anyone, even though they can look in the window next to the door and see me sitting here working. Anyway...I don't answer the door and tell them to leave the information at the door - then I let me DH get it :-) Now if its a little kid or whatever I of course will open the door, but here at our house we had a cop show up and wanted to know if some guy was here (don't know what that was about), also we kept getting a something in the mail from the police (who happen to have the same address as the water company and I thought it was my water bill) and I opened it and it was someone who had registered a weapon and they used our address. Also, we have a lot of "undesireable" little gang punks who are now hanging around with the degenerate bully teenage kid next door, a couple houses down some there was a vacant house and squatters came in on it, and the store around the corner has been robbed I think for the 3rd time in a couple years. So, this is a horrible horrible neighborhood. Oh, and twice now we've had unknown guys come up and knock on our door (and I mean not the kind of people I would want to talk to). We want to move, but right now we are "just making it" and most all other places around here are more expensive unless we go to an even more undesireable neighborhood. So we just hope things go okay. But it doesn't help when the PD applies for more funding to add another patrol officer for the town (we now have only 2 or 3 in a town of about 50,000), and they ask for more money to keep the jail open and fire department and it's all voted down. What in the world is up with this town??? Well they'll sure be screaming and yelling when they need someone and nobody comes because they didn't want to pay any more taxes to have a little more safety. (BTW - we sleep with a bunch of tools - you know things with sharp edges that can be thrown if needed, in our bedroom just in case).
Anyway, please pass on to your mom that she should never open the door for anyone she doesn't know (I'm sure you already have) and tell her never accept any paper of any sort. If it's legite they will leave it and she can pick it up later long after they are gone.

This, too, shall pass. I went thru the same
issues with my now 18 year old when she was 15. I was not pleased, but did my best not to show it - it wasn't easy, mind you. I see that Ellen DeGeneres ad where the raccoon did her eye makeup and shudder - that's what my daughter's eyes looked like! But I tried not to make a fuss - I only drew the line at the jewelry that looked sadistic/maso, and refused to let her wear that, really explaining to her what it meant and stood for. She got the picture. Any how, at 18 she has forgotten all about her "dark days", and looks normal - whatever that is...but no more goth!
Thank you, I will pass it on. nm

Do you actually pass out?
I had it happen a few times, but only actually passed out cold twice. It has become less frequent over the years. My episodes usually had hot/cold triggers. First time I had a bad sunburn and was putting ice on my face and ended up on the floor. Second time I got out of a hot shower into a cold bathroom (pregnant at the time) but didn't actually pass out completely. Third time I was feeling sick anyway, laying down covered up with a blanket, then got up and got something cold to drink and dropped like a rock.
I think staying hydrated is a big key. However, if this is becoming more frequent, it's time to go back to the doc and start the tests over. I myself would never want a tilt table test since I have motion sickness and know it would make me sick as a dog.
Funny! We have one that we pass around. It got
duct taped his head back on! LOL It's even funnier now!
Yes, a woman can pass it to a man, it is just like any other STD.

Just got a chance to pass thru - let me
know how your appointment goes. I know exactly what you are talking about. I have to go to sleep on my side or I get ill. I am rather large in the upper department also - would love it if insurance would pay for a reduction. I haven't ever mentioned it to my doctor either - mainly because for each test that they decide they will run, I see another bill I would have to pay.
Can't you see it all coming to pass? sm
Everything we learned would happen is happening right now.
Just thought I pass it on...
Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in this country lately: illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida ... Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It's a win-win situation.
Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.
Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levies.
Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.
Any other problems you would like for me to solve today?
Think about this one:
1. Cows
2..The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
C O W S
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.
T H E C O N S T I T U T I O N
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq .... Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
T H E 1 0 C O M M A N D M E N T S
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this:
You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians...It creates a hostile work environment.
I pass on chitlings, no, thanks.....nm

that is - half the girls - also if they do pass this - sm
how long do they "have" to watch it, 1 minute, 5 minutes, what, a half hour until they change their mind? Once they get this passed, believe me, they will try something else, give an inch, they take a yard.
I know all about that bill they tried to pass and failed so far,
I am against it being mandatory, and yes, I am part of the breed/show world, and did mixed breed rescue, volunteered in a few shows for a long time and it is heart breaking. But, in all the years I volunteered in them, the pedigree cat was rare, I only saw a persian once and a siamese once. I am not out West though. Mandatory spay and neuter will only create a black market. In CA there is already a problem with smuggling puppies in from Mexico, imagine how much worse that will get. And yes, breeders can get a license, but not everyone will get one and unfortunately, it will knock out the good ones, the bad ones always find a way around things. The better answer would be low cost spay and neuter programs so that it is more affordable. I don't know costs in CA, but here in PA they are getting very high. My vet loves me, I spend a fortune there and if somebody gets sick on the weekend, I don't think twice about going to the emergency vet and paying extra costs. I do recall, however, in the pounds I volunteered in that there more pedigree dogs, particularly large ones. In these cases, it seemed people did not do their homework and did not realize the puppy would get so big.
As for pet stores, I would never buy a pet in one of those, nor would I ever let one of my kittens go to them. In fact, my breeding is very small scale, I am most definitely not making money on it, and I am very picky about who let have one of my furry kids, and I do have high quality within my chosen breed, good health and show.
Good luck in CA, but I don't think that bill will ever get passed. It is really not cost effective to the state and like you said, how could they enforce it? People find a way, sad, but true.
I like this idea! Will pass on to a friend who
s
DOH! I meant they would NOT pass judgement
...sorry. P.S. Just ignore those who are responding that you are selfish. They have not walked in your shoes!
Thanks Suzanne . I'm sure it'll pass
eventually, just feeling down lately.
is a pass at your 18 year old sister
child molestation. I think that is an insult to the real survivors of molestation.
Georgia schools also socially pass....sm
I had a prior foster child that came to me in the 5th grade that tested to be on the 1st grade reading level and 2nd grade math level. Her prior schools for the past 2 years that she was in foster care before moving to me had report cards for her with A's and B's all over the place. The school here refused to hold her back because she was held back on the 1st grade due to poor attendance while living with her birth parents, even though emotionally she was 8 in a 12-year-old body.
Fortunately for this child while she was living with me we figured out her educational deficits and that she had learning disabilities. We moved her to a specialized group home that has worked with her extensively and she's now in 8th grade and back in mainstream classes. She's making C's and earning them - not having them given to her. I shudder to think what would have happened to her if she hadn't come to my home to figure out she had more problems than the system realized and helped her get the help she needed - she probably would have ended up as a statistic. She still is emotionally behind her peers but hopefully one day will catch up on that aspect. Oh yes, she also went to summer school here and that was 2 weeks - what a joke. All they did was play games half the day outside and did just a little work on reading and math.
Can women pass it to men? Sorry if that sounds dumb.

No--- bodies pass out of rigor mortis - sm
after so many hours and become normal/rubbery again so to speak, so very possible for his body to bounce at that point. Plus the skin color would change, he is dead, and most likely become darker especially with all the work they did on him. No hoax, he is dead.
hydrogen peroxide tips - received via email and thought i'd pass on. see inside.
* This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana (a doctor's wife), and I
want to share it with you. She was over recently for coffee and smelled
the
bleach I was using to clean my toilet and counter tops. This is what she
told me.. I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little
ole
bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store.
What
does bleach cost? My husband has been in the medical field for over 36
years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide. Have you ever
smelled
bleach in a doctor's office? NO!!! Why? Because it smells, and it is not
healthy! Ask the nurses who work in the doctor's offices, and ask them
if
they use bleach at home. They are wiser and know better! *
**
*Did you also know bleach was invented in the late 40's? It's chlorine,
Folks! And it was used to kill our troops. Peroxide was invented during
WWI
in the 20's. It was used to save and help cleanse the needs of our
troops
and hospitals. Please think about this. *
**
*1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle)
and
hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when
I
bathe.) No more canker sores, and your teeth will be whiter without
expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. *
**
*2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of
germs. *
**
*3. Clean your counters and table tops with peroxide to kill germs and
leave
a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or
spray
it on the counters. *
**
*4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to
kill
salmonella and other bacteria. *
**
*5. I had fungus on my feet for years until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of
peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let
dry. *
**
*6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes
several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal
with
any medicine but was healed by soaking in peroxide. *
**
*7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and
keep
it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system
like
bleach or most other disinfectants will. *
**
**
**
*8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture
whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill
the
bacteria. Hold for a few minutes, and then blow your nose into a tissue.
*
**
**
**
*9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right
away,
put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes
several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly. *
**
*10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the
50/50
solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will
not
have the peroxide-burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages but more
natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or dirty
blonde.
It also lightens gradually, so it's not a drastic change. *
**
*11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils,
fungus,
or other skin infections. *
**
*12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of
whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing,
pour
it directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and
rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary. *
**
*13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors. There is no smearing, which is
why
I love it so much for this. *
**
**
**
*I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be
without! With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way
to
save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner! *
**
*This information really woke me up. I hope you gain something from it,
too.
Pass it on! *
Nah, and I NEVER pass on those round robin letters for good luck, money, love, etc. if passed on in

Oh, the memories......I can pass for Italian, but I am not Italian. I got my heart sm
broken in two in Rome, NY. I was so in love with this guy up there....and when his family found out I was not Italian he had to break it off with me! I was devastated. haha
Would LOVE to take a trip up there and drive through the Adirondacks, visiting family near Lake Champlain...I would love to take hubby there and the kids. Wow! Now I'm really missing the place!!! I think I'll try it this summer! Keep in touch ladies!
Thanks! That was enough info for
me to find the sheet music :)
Some info for you

Thank you for the info.
I just registered and I appreciate your response. I'm sure my husband would love for me to have more of a sex drive. ;)
Gee. thanks for the info! I appreciate it! nm

info
Needing this information depends on if you need to use both of your incomes. If not, i would not worry about getting this letter. All mortgage companies are different in what they require. I would just try to use your previous 1099. I am sure the company would not have a problem writing this letter though if needed. If you just explain to them what it is needed for. I am sure you would not be the first person to ask of this.
I don't own a TV but get info from the net

Thanks for the info but not really getting that much
No matter what the cost of the property sold, the rate I am paying (as others would do) is less than $3,000.00! When you take into consider the previous realtor I had was charging 10% of the total amount, I am coming out smelling like a rose. I tried to tell my relative the earnest money was like down payment but apparently not being believed. Their son was selling some property without a realtor and they got up front and got to keep around $500.00 from a sale that did not go through but mine, I told her, was different. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the info!!

Thanks so much for this info..
am sitting here wondering why did I not think of that! I think there is a new walk in really close to me, in fact. I have fibro, like I said and I am 1 big ache to start with with pain in the legs, arms, shoulders but this most excruciating pain right now is in the ribs, not more 1 side than the other, almost unbearable. I once again appreciate so much the helpful thought!
Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info..
Going to try it out.

She's been on BCP for around a year now...not for contraception initially...for dysfunctional bleeding. Thankfully though, she's somewhat protected. But you know, pregnancy isn't what scares me the most, it's a deadly disease that she could contract...it's a disease that could leave her unable to have a child when she does meet the man she wants to marry. I just feel like crying, she's my little girl...
You don't need a cop to get that info. - sm
It can be found on the internet (for a price) if you know where (Florida) and how to look.
Hey, thanks for all the info
I especially like the part where you say, "I'll be firing AT&T for the phone service." . . . sounds REALLY good about now. Have had a few problems since "the change", and seems they always want to have me try to discuss the issues they are causing with their employees overseas. All I got ta say about dat is . . . taint gonna happen.
Huh? What was that? I need you to transfer me to someone in the United States! LOL!
Thanks again!

My son is 8, he's in 3rd grade.
He can concentrate for hours on videogames. We spend all of our time together, except for the hours he is in school. Of course, I'm a SAHM MT, so that makes for more time for us. He talks nonstop to everyone, everywhere, all the time. However, my dad and my DH's dad do the same thing, so that could be inherited!
I'm not sure if ADD is the right word here, but don't know how else to describe it. He's not behind by any means in school, however the thing is, it takes him twice as long to complete *jobs*, as his teacher puts it, than the other kids. I know from my experience with him and homework, and it's like pulling teeth sometimes to get one worksheet done. He's just extremely social, I guess. He can't sit still. He has a hard time focusing, I do know that much.
Medication is the last thing we want to do (yes, his father is VERY involved in his life...we are an intact family). I'm thinking about taking him to his ped's office just to talk about some things we can try. I don't want him labeled with anything unless we know for sure he has it. I'm just exploring options right now.
Thanks for the advice and responses y'all, keep 'em coming!
Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info!
I thought there would be more restrictions but I guess it is more or less common sense.
Thank you for this info!
We have been tangling with FAFSA since my daughter graduated high school in 2004 but the school that she goes to is less than helpful in giving out information. I have learned more from you than all of the financial "experts" we have spoken to. Thank you for posting!
More info...
He's worked for this company for 11-12 years, however they just moved across town in July, so he's been driving since then. He absolutely hates the drive, comes home tired and cranky every night. And by apartment, I did mean one of those weekly hotel-thingies.
thanks for the info
Thanks a lot - I am kind of leaning toward the Monte Carlo but will do a lot more checking before deciding. . I do think it would be best to stay on the strip.
thanks for the info
Thanks guys. Glad to hear there are some happy people out there. I'm looking forward to knowing all there is to know and getting on with the every day stuff. Happy New Year.

I definitely need to lose the plastic hamster cage. It has metal slats on the sides and all of their bedding gets pushed out all over the floor. Who ever thought that was a good idea. I wish they would have warned me at the pet store.
BTW, three days after we got them, one of them chewed its tail off or one of the others possibly did it. Ever heard of that?
More info...
The dinner is going to be at a 5-star resort in CA. Of course, he hasn't gotten me much info yet. He'll wait til the last minute, as usual. I don't know anyone else to call that may know for sure what this event is like, but it sounds maybe *swanky* but not black tie...thanks for your response though!
Thank you for the info...
Her mom called me again a little while ago. Just wanted to chat. I know she will come around on her own. I will respect her wishes to be left alone. It just baffles the heck out of me.
more egg info
I had a friend from England and she always stored her eggs in an egg basket on the kitchen counter! She said that's always been the way they did it in England. I was amazed she wasn't dead of some kind of horrible egg bacteria poisoning.
Thanks for the info!

Thank you so much for the info..sm
This little one is just a sweetheart! She is an absolute doll. I just feel so bad for her when she cries and cries. When we first brought her home she was given an anxiety medication to help her calm down and to help her deal with the coughing. She would cough so much she would get out of breath and then couldnt get enough air in. At one point she was in ICU for respiratory distress. We have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and he just loves his basset sister! He is always trying to love her and make her feel beter and they sleep together all the time. My daughter made a sign over their pet bed that says King Monroe and Queen Zoey sleeps here!
Anyway, thanks for the info. I appreciate it!!
Thanks for all the info cat, unfortunately
it is snowing here and the entire sky is gray. I doubt we will get to see anything but we are certainly going to try.
