Thanks for your insight I hope he continues to - sm
get better and has no lasting liver damage. I will just have to keep an eye on him and if I see worsening (i.e. jaundice), get his butt kicking and screaming to the doctor.
The contractor saga continues..
Okay, so basically I came on here to vent again! LOL So, after the contractors were basically bathing in our pool and sitting on our vehicles and leaving about 20 nails and lunch trash and vinyl siding on our front doorstep....
Today, they were to send out another crew of 2 guys, instead of the original 5. The owners wife was to come to supervise all day. So, they show up about 11:30 with their kids and the wife and her two friends all hanging out in my yard...okay fine at least shes supervising....She then proceeded to sunbath in the backyard while smoking about 3 packs of ciggerettes...um, okay..then, you guessed it, left all those butts all over our yard!! She also never apologized to me personally. Later in the day, my window is cracked and I can hear her over my typing, so I stop to listen. LOL She is complaining loudly on her cell phone how she has to babysit all day because the renters b*tched about the pool. She was also saying it was only a 1000 galloon pool, so who gives a crap, whats the problem!?! The pool is actually a 16' pool. My feelings are that it does not matter if it is a baby pool or an inground pool you do not go to someones house and wash the sweat and dirt off at the end of the day in their pool!
Let me know what you all think! Do you think I was being too hard on them having a problem with this? Ugh one more day of work left for them to finish I think. I'll have to see what happens tomorrow. 
Nope, I'm afraid it CONTINUES with MT Stars
:(
college freshman saga continues......thank you for everyone's words of advice...sm
I really appreciate everyone's advice regarding my son and what I should or shouldn't do. We have had a really interesting weekend. Not fun interesting. There was a football game this weekend so he was busy Friday night and Saturday and Sunday he had free. I offered to let him come home for the day but he didn't want to. That was fine.
We went about our day and something told me something was wrong. Mother's intuition I guess. He took his car (which is our car that we are making payments on and paying the insurance on and is in our name) and drove it through one pretty darn big city without our permission to his girlfriend's college 2-1/2 hours away to see her on a Sunday afternoon. It is his car to drive but we had already told him that we were not ready for him to drive that trip. The car would be signed over to him when and only when he successfully completes college. We have told him two or three times since school started that he was not to make that drive. Since he knew we would say no, he just did it.
Well I texted him a twice and he didn't answer me. My husband texted him a twice and he didn't answer him. About two hours later he answered. So when I got home he texted me with this elaborate story of where he was about to go and why he would be out of pocket for awhile. Alarms went up. I called him and asked if he was in his room. He said yes. I asked him to get on his computer. He gave me a cock-n-bull story about being on his roommates computer. I said get on your own. I see his girlfriend's messenger name sign off immediately. He said what do you want me to do. I said I want you to log on your screen name. He told me that his computer wasn't working, he'd have to restart. Meanwhile I could see while he was restarting his away message was still there. He restarted. I said I want you on your screenname. He signed on. I said, OK I want you to put up your "I'm in calculus message" (knowing he couldn't duplicate it). He tried bless his heart but I knew where he was.
I asked him if that is where he was. No mom. I asked him if his roommate was there. He said no (previously he had said he was there). I said if I'm wrong I am going to owe you a real big apology but I want you to find a payphone and call me from it. Figuring I could figure out by the area code if he was lying or I was wrong. He said OK. Well immediately I could tell he knew he was caught. I handed the phone to his dad who he admitted it to. His dad is going to get the car tonight.
I am so upset. I am not mad. I am disappointed. If he had told me the truth right when I asked I would have been a little disappointed and a little proud of him for stepping up to the plate. He is going to at the very least not have a car for the rest of the semester, and I am pretty sure he won't do that again. We called the girlfriend's parents to let them know what happened too. We know them fairly well and I felt that they needed to know. She doesn't have a car because they don't want her driving to where he is. 
where is the halloween spirit???
The person that I rent my house from made me take down my Halloween decorations... to me that's sad!!! all they were was just a pumpkin door cover, funky caution tape on the porch posts, and 3 tiny inflatable pumpkins on string. She said the caution tape made people think it was a crime scene, which is resonable if people were that gullible..... baahalloweenbug! To me it is just a holiday that makes kids happy and that is good enough for me.... HAPPY HALLOWEEN MTs!!!
I think my spirit is broken also (sm)
He said to me this morning "You can't take care of yourself, you need someone to take care of you, you don't make enough money." Well, I would probably have to work more but the fact is I make pretty darn good money considering I do 99.9% of the taking care of our children and everything around our house. Just another way to degrade me I think.
Hopefully it's a benevolent spirit! Acknowledge it and carry on. :) nm

May his amazing spirit live on - see message -
The point being lost here is that they could have euthanized him months ago because it was obvious he was never going to race again and make them any big money. They chose to try to help him heal, which I can imagine cost thousands upon thousands of dollars and would be of no financial benefit to them because he would never be able to race again. I think the owners went above and beyond in trying to give him anything they thought was a chance at a happy life back on their farm. He seemed to have an amazing spirit and seemed to be recovering well for the most part. When he took a recent turn for the worse again they made what I am sure was a difficult decision to let him go.
Although I disagree with you staying, I admire your spirit :) nm

You're free to pray, but not free to discriminate
It's as simple as that.
I love having a Mary Spirit in a Martha World
I am reading the second book it is called having a Mary Spirit, love it!!!!
In the spirit of Halloween - favorite scary movie?
I'm too chicken to watch scary movies most of the time! I though Sixth Sense was good, but I guessed the ending half way through. Stir of Echoes scared me pretty good. I thought The Ring was horrible until the very end when I just about peed my pants! How about you all?
Well, isn't that what she was hoping ; ) lol

I'm hoping for the best here . . .
also agree about the lay-out, I like this board.
I am hoping you get the help you seem like you need
You have yelped and yelped about something you know nothing about. It sounds as if you were missing some money. My brother's wife remarried 1 YEAR after brother's death in 1973 which was 31 years PRIOR TO my father's death. His wife WOULD NOT HAVE ANYTHING for her. SHE WAS NOT AN HEIR. Last known living in Knoxville in 1973 - has someone wronged you on inheritance that you are so absorbed in what has gone on here. Please try to relax and get the help you need. Take a chill pill.
Don't have whole story...was hoping
some of you guys did!
Most are just hoping to have some joy for their kids sm
We're all in a hurry trying to get our work done so the kids can have a nice holiday. Perhaps we are hasty and hurried, as well as tired. Look at what we're going through. Some little kids only have the Santa thing to look forward to, even though the rest of us know it's all fantasy. They do put it together at a certain age and it's all a personal family decision what to do regarding Jolly Old St. Nick. We had an older kid who spoiled our Christmas party because he thought it his business to "out" the Santa thing to the younger ones as he was, bless him, highly intelligent and was told the truth from birth. Had some kids crying at one point. I think the point is, do what's right for your own family and try to have something for the kids to look forward to in these hard times especially. There is no right or wrong, just all interpret things differently and we're all very tired of all this bad news going on in the world. Have to look forward to something! Happy Holidays, no matter how you celebrate! We adults know the reason for the season. Bottom line - be happy! Life is temporary, imagination is wonderful, it takes us away from the bad news for awhile. Joy to the world and to each his own. As long as the older kids keep the secret to themselves, they also should enjoy the excitement of watching the little ones have fun with it. It's all good.
Hoping they all get arrested
Easter Sunday here in major city 5 people killed in an accident, 3 children and 2 adults with the person causing the accident leaving. There has been an intense manhunt since that time with a tip coming in yesterday about the vehicle involved. The vehicle had been hid in a home gargage since the accident. A 22-year-old lady now arrested but 5 counts of homicide by vehicle but get this- her mother and grandmother were advised what had happened 2 days after the accident and they did nothing about calling the police. I hope now they have to pay the piper because they were involved in a coverup.
Hey, all of our central FL MTs out there! Prayers for you and hoping sm
ya'll are doing fine! I just heard that some twisters produced winds of more than 300 mph. Unbelievable. Even stronger winds than a cat 5 hurricane.
Lots of people out there need our prayers and supupport. Let us remember them today at all of their devastating loss. May God give them rest and peace today........
The part about you hoping never have same feelings about your son
I would have never thought in a million years I would ever be alienated from my son but am and it has been at least 3-4 years since I saw or talked with him. He tried and I say tried, to say things that he should have never said against me. I wish him the best but I would never stand by and hear what came out of his mouth to come out again. I cut any and all ties with him and his family.
We were hoping she would've moved them by now
Because I was in and out of the car last night counting little furry heads but I guess it didn't bother her. Guess I'll go find a box. Thanks!
I am so hoping something finally brings this
case to an end, and those who loved her can somehow go on. I cannot believe that Casey Anthony continues to rant on and on with the same stores and act so concerned, saying all she cares about is Caylee. Dear God, help the parents when they get the final news if this is Caylee. I believe to her dying day Casey will never admit any wrong doing. Everything she has said from the beginning has been a lie. If my dog, literally, were missing I would be a mess and unable to work. Her child was supposedly taken from her and she is out shopping and partying and draping her naked body in the American flag. She makes me ill.
I am hoping to find out the answer to this soon - sm
Now that we are not using the heat much, and it is getting warmer outside I will be hanging out the clothes. Electric $150 a month November thru April, but jumps up to $250 when using the AC, which I suspect we will keep rather high this year in order to save some money. So my hanging the clothes out will help offset the AC as well. If I can keep it at about $150 a month with the AC on I will be quite happy.
Hoping you had a great 1st date and wondering if you are still on it???
Details! lol
Thanks for the update! Hoping the meds work
for your pooch! 
Apparently, producers are hoping Sanjaya

Mazel tov! Hoping it really is a dream come true for you! :)

I think she is hoping to help save his political career so (sm)
she tries to appear supportive - for future money for herself probably. To keep him from going completely down the tubes so he can support his children. Won't work in this case I'm sure though. But it also could be that they feel sorry for the guy...I mean not only does he have to deal with his betrayed wife, he has to face the entire country and lose his career. He's probably near suicidal. I would probably have to feel sorry for my husband if he were in those circumstances, just a a basic human compassion.
Hoping for some words of encouragement on 16 YO daughter. sm
Hello everyone. The saga continues. We have had her grounded since Friday and I saw her Psy.D. yesterday who gave me some advice. She said the best thing to do is to try to be nice and try to work with her in a positive manner, but in small steps. She said that if she decides to leave, there's nothing we can do about it, which I already knew. She said to voice that to her and let her be the one to make that decision, but supposedly that would take the power away from her. She also said that it was useless to try to keep her away from her friends, as she would do whatever it took to be with them. So I came home and told her that I loved her, did not want her to go, but the ultimate decision was hers. I gave her the cell phone back and told her that for her to be able to keep it, she needed to be civil so we can keep a civil atmosphere in the home and no more call me names and cursing at me. She agreed. That was yesterday. I told her that we would take things slow and she would have to earn back her privileges. Well, that's just not good enough for her. She wants it all right away, her way and when she wants. Wants to go out as many nights as she chooses and since it is summertime it is not fair that we don't let her go out. Unbelievable. I told her that we were unwilling to do that and the grounding stood through to the end. After that we would see how it went and start with one night out a week. She can't seem to grasp the concept that at 16 she cannot make these decisions.
Bottom line, I think it will be inevitible that she will at some point leave. I made her an appointment to see this Psy.D. on Friday, but we'll see if I can keep her here long enough for that and whether she will be willing to go.
I am at my wits end. The counselor said I needed to be patient and to continue to be nice. I think that would be easy to do if I saw that my daughter was willing to do her part, which she is obviously not keen on. I almost feel like I am wasting my time and I am so discouraged by her lack of wanting to participate in this.
I guess I have to prepare myself for the worst. This is so hard.
Thanks for listening.
I'm starting my own line of kid's soaps, hoping it will take off
:)
I was hoping I heard wrong this morning.
I was watching The View where they were showing some previews of the interview with Ryan that is going to air tomorrow night and near the end of the show, Barbara W. stated it would be a tribute to her.
It was the same at our school with the boys and the pictures and girls with the hairdo. Nothing like being an individual back then. 
What's even sadder is that she finally said yes to getting married.
Are you hoping to milk a sexual harrassment lawsuit out of this?

I would like to publically thank my son for his 17 years in the military - his sacrafices in Bosnia and Iraq. I pray for ALL of the families who have relatives serving that make this the good old USA!
Lilly
AMEN
I, too, have been in similar situation, is actually an ongoing thing. Niece goes from one loser to the next because she gets an SSI check - refuses to listen to anyone and if I say too much, they keep the babies from me. Best to just let it ride, enjoy the little boy and pray for Stacy.
AMEN
I agree. It will be Merry Christmas for me until I die, hopefully not at the hands of Christian persecutors. This world has gone absolutely bonkers - make my sick to think about it. Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and yours and everybody else on this board.
Amen to that! nm

This was exactly what I was trying to get across, but a lot longer and more informative. Thanks for posting this.
I wanted to add that I have known tons of aggressive cocker spaniels. One even attacked my friend's golden when they were walking the other day down the street. They have a lot of pent up energy and they just go nutso some times.
My point was that it can always be any breed and that the media has made people believe Pits are dangerous.
Amen to that! NM
