You certainly weren't lying after

All we can do is speculate since we weren't there
Whatever happened or didn't happen, a young child is dead. Of course I've heard the opposite that he was loved very much by his family and that he was very close to his father. Again, that's speculation on my part since I don't know them personally.
They said they weren't available in my area...
I don't understand that at all!
Again!?!? Weren't they recalled once before during the
Nutro *Max-Cat* used to be one of the *good* varieties of cat food. (Had been recommended when I adopted my 1st Persian, who got diarrhea with canned food or fish-flavored dry food).
Oy, VEY.
And I bet the divorces weren't her fault, either.
f
I had that problem with a neighbor, only they weren't caring
constantly barking. I would put water out for the dog and sometimes feed the dog because it was being neglected. Finally, when no one was looking I had the dog come with me and I took it over to my moms house and found the dog a really loving home. My bad? I don't care, I knew the dog was being well taken care of. The lady I gave him too just doted on him and he was no longer neglected.
Even though a dog is being fed and given water doesn't mean it isn't being neglected. Animal neglect is a form of abuse. If you call anyone, don't call Animal Control. Call the Humane Society or some other entity who can take the animal so it won't end up being put to sleep. It's not the dogs fault that the owner neglects him.
I don't think she was being curt. We've all eaten when we weren't hungry. SM
I don't think diet pills are the way to go. And I could never understand paying big bucks to Jenny Craig or NutriSystem for food when you can learn to eat healthy all on your own. I agree exercising and portion control are the way to go. I also don't think cutting carbs entirely out is the answer either. Carbs are brain food and energy food. Sure, you don't need go overboard on carbs, but your body does need them.
I used to do diet pills and stuff like that, but I had trouble with my heart racing (as high as 130 bpm!) and my BP skyrocketed and then I had a full blown panic attack because I freaked that something was wrong with my heart. After I finally got my panic attack under control, I realized that I was just poisoning myself with diet pills and diet soda. Even though I had lost weight on them, I cut it all out of my diet. I will not ingest artificial sweeteners at all. I do have an occasional Coke - Regular Not Diet, but mostly water and juices. I've lost about 30 pounds in the last year.
I need to exercise more, though and I just bought the Core Rhythms DVD. I haven't gotten it yet, but it's on the way and I can't wait. I love to dance and I think this might be a good way to get into exercise. I've got about 40 more pounds to lose, but I'm getting there. The big battle for me is fast food. It's so convenient and easy and when I'm getting the kids something, it's easy to just order me a little something, just this once...
I used to be slim and trim too, back in the day. You know, before the kids and 17 years of marriage. In the 80s, I was an aerobics queen! Remember when it was really popular? I had leotards with matching leg warmers and sweat bands, and had my ponytail on the side of my head! I look back now and it was hilarious!
well maybe if health care providers weren't flooded
you wouldn't have such a long wait time and wouldn't need more doctors. I would hope the government would crack down on such things like smoking and fast food if it took over the health care industry.
I see by your birthdate that you weren't trying to raise a family during the Regan years -sm
We were lucky, my DH never lost his job, but the town we lived in had about a 75% foreclosure rate with vacant houses and most of the businesses closed down.
We ate a lot of Hamburger Helper, mac & cheese, Rice A Roni, and Top Ramen. My 3 kids got their clothes and shoes at thrift stores, I went without. DH went without. We would have qualified for food stamps, but the state couldn't afford to have a program. Oh, and after Regan failed to get the school lunch program dumped completely he wanted ketchup declared a vegetable.
There was no question of me working - first there were no jobs, and second anything I earned plus some would have gone to daycare. Doctor and dentist visits were just about nonexistent because we couldn't afford insurance.
After that hellish 8 years things slowly got better until W, and wow, it's like Deja Vu all over again! Ain't it great?
As far as I am concerned, that was the
She was a terrible mother, a drug addict and general white trash who screwed her way into some money and fame. I think that putting her son on that reality show was akin to abuse and the daughter might now have a chance at a normal life, money or no. Everyone on the news is acting like she was Mother Theresa, when in truth she made all of her own problems and problems for everyone around her. I have no sympathy for anyone involved, but do hope the best for her daughter. As far as those 2 screwballs who claim to be the father, they both probably see $$$ signs. The baby should go to an actual normal and loving home to be raised as a normal child! I am sick of hearing what a great gal she was, because she was not and her being dead does not change that!
Very concerned about you....sm
There is nothing "cool" about an eating disorder! You may want to lose weight, but that is not the way to go nor would it get you the attention you want. I think you definitely need to seek some help. Why don't you talk with your family doctor to start.
I think she is concerned because she is trying to get - sm
pregnant, and if her periods are irregular it will make that much more difficult.
No one will ever by more concerned about your/your
x
If you are really concerned,
which I would certainly be, you could call Patient Relations at the hospital and set up a meeting to discuss things. That is a huge mistake and according to HIPAA I would think it should be reported and documented, not necessarily by you but the staff. It's not as if you are trying to get someone "in trouble" but you could tell them you are concerned and want to make sure the opposite doesn't happen. What if someone would have authorized comfort measures for your father instead of real treatment? That is potentially a very serious matter that I think the hospital would want to know about, if they don't already.
And I don’t consider you concerned....

Should I be concerned sm
My 9 y/o son tells me that a boy on his bus (we'll call him Joe) who my son doesn't like him because of picking on kids i think, had been suspended from school for pulling a knife on someone. This boy is in the 5th grade. I asked the bus driver about this and she said yes he did do this but "Joe" wasn't the instigator it was the other boy who said to "Joe" that he was going to kill him and I don't know what else this other boy said. So this other boy was suspended for the rest of the school year. Now, should I be concerned that the school didn't let us know anything about this incident, or am I overreacting? I don't know the whole story, but this "Joe" rides the bus with my kids and supposedly pulls a knife on someone. That worries me. So I just don't know if I should say something or not. I'm glad the school suspended the boy for the rest of the school year. It's just kind of scary, this is elementary we are talking about and it's K through 6th grade. The bus drive said they are supposed to be "hush hush" about it. Obviously it got out somehow because my son told me about it.
Thanks for listening and any input you might have.
If you are concerned about not seeing GC
look into grandparent's rights now. Lawyers do not have to cost a lot of money either. Search for legal aid and your county online. From what I understand GP rights are pretty cut and dry, usually 1 weekend a month, and your son's visitation has nothing to do with your rights as a GP.
I'm more concerned about
the bussing issue and the younger kids being exposed to the older kids. My kids have learned so much. I'm not saying they don't watch TV, but I monitor what they're watching. My kids watch primarily Disney and Nick. My younger ones certainly didn't know about sex until they changed the bussing issue.
While childcare is an issue for a lot of other parents, fortunately for me I work from home. I actually don't mind sleeping in an extra hour or 2. My concern in this regard is the fact that they're tacking on all these extra days at the end of the year when it's hot and we don't have central air for these kids. I know that we didn't have A/C when I was a kid, but the weather has changed a lot since then. We actually had to dismiss early last year because of the heat.
I really think that this superintendent has too much power and is making changes that the parents are not in agreement with. I know there is a school board election, but I don't know much more, like when the elections are, etc. What's the timeline for school board members, i.e. how long do they sit and when are they elected? Do they have to be re-elected or do they get to stay on until they decide to leave? Is there a parent advocate to help mediate some of these situations? I don't usually get too involved in the small-town politics, but I think it might be time to at least go to the meetings and see what's going on. I don't want to wait until it's too late and then sit back and complain because I didn't do anything.
Thanks for responding!
I would be concerned but
I have stayed there numerous times in the past and never had a problem. They have an emergency number to call if there is a problem but I've never had a problem. The only reason I am concerned now is because my fiance is concerned - he's never been and thinks it must be a dump if they don't have a 24-hour desk clerk. I have always found it to be clean and well maintained. It is a small, family owned hotel, the price is excellent but there are drawbacks - no 24 hour desk clerk being one of them. To me it is worth it, but I'm not sure the fiance is going to think so. I hope this vacation doesn't cause us problems. He left the planning to me and was quite happy when I told him the price of the room.
I'm only miserable as far as he is concerned....sm
because he is drunk 99% of the time I get to see him. It's a Merry go round we can't seem to get off. Every day ends for me with a drunk SOB picking a fight and every morning starts for him with me being PO'd at him for whatever he did the night before. The rest of my life is actually great. I have great kids, a career I love, lots of family. There's potential for wonderful life for me and the kids if I could just remove the daily alcoholic part.
Trust me, I've supported DH for 15 years. Took him to marriage counselors, begged, pleaded, tried to be understanding. This last year we risked our financial well-being to support his dream. His end of the deal was he'd have something to work for and wouldn't drink anymore. He's still drinking, and we're still waiting to see the outcome of his dream. Luckily, he and his partner just refinanced under the new corporation and we are able to pay back all the personal funds he borrowed. I've tried it all. Give him some time to go out with the guys, do activities he wants, take the vacations he wants. Doesn't matter how much I support him. DH is a taker, and he will continue to take until I literally have no more to give financially, emotionally, or physically.
It's high time I lead by example and teach my pre-teen daughters that women deserve respect, honesty, common courtesy, and contributions from their partner that contribute to their well being and well being of their family. My biggest fear is my daughter's are just going to repeat the cycle because it is all they have ever known. I am totally at peace with the fact that I have done all I can to support my husband and help him overcome his addiction. Bottom line, can't help those that don't want to help themselves, and I will not sacrifice my children to keep trying.
Oh, I would suppose they would not be concerned but
if they had a touch of this (if this is what is going on with me) the pain is almost unbearable. I did take 1000 mg of ibuprofen yesterday along with Hydrocodone, nothing helped, in agony really. I am thinking possibly my fibromyalgia has converted over to this now. I could not get in to see my physician today- know if this is what is going on not life threatening- only can cause so much horrific pain hard to make it through a day. I hear sitting exacerbates- great for a transcriptionist, huh?
re: lunch while typing
Just FYI....NEVER try to eat ramen noodles while you are typing!!! Not a pretty site...LOLOLOL...just a thought to lighten the load!!! hehehehe
typing stand
Does anyone have any idea where you can find a typing stand like the ones we used for typing class? I'd like one with a ruler or something attached to keep my place on the document. I'm having a really hard time locating this item. Any clues? Thanks!
It's not the noise I'd be concerned about
Is she wearing a helmet that fits? There are daily accidents with children on ATVs. I'm sure she's probably not going fast, but an accident can happen even at 5 mph. If she should happen to flip the ATV, which can happen on an incline at any speed, your daughter could be killed. I don't mean to sound so grim, but it's something to be aware of.
We have an ATV. My 3 boys do ride with their dad and do wear helmets, but it's something I wish I'd never allowed to start. Every time they get on, I feel like I have to hold my breath until they're off.
as i am typing, i bet it is getting deleted
I cant believe it has been on here this long! I am quite sure that it is going to go fast. By the way, look up the EU, European Union. Go to Google and Images and check out the building. In front of it is a statue of a woman riding a beast. Also, their seats for the congress/senate or whatever they are called are numbered, going up to 800 or something. all filled up with the persons name, except number 666 is empty.
I have had a drink while typing but ....sm
usually just one and I don't get drunk.
typing speed
Go to Google and type in typing speed. There are a bunch of things under google. You can take typing tests to see how many words per minute you are typing.

Please excuse the typing errors...
All I have heard today is "The patient had a giberishgiberish condition that includded gibberish, cough, hack, sneeze gibberish." You get the point.
what happens when you stay in typing mode
Had to share. Friend of mine has two sisters 1 with a 2y/o and a 5 mon. old and the other with a 1 y/o. First one thought she was pregnant again. Second is just a snooty lil'heifer. Anyway she was IMing me about an hour ago. We were talking about her new job and right out of the blue said..."brb phone". Then came back with "my flu infested sister calling to see what I got for VD".
I had a fit and said. "Serious VD? OMG your mom will die. Why drive 80 miles for some medicine, why not go to the doctor...I cannot believe she of all peope has revealed that information."
She cracked up and came back with
"No stupid...Valentines Day!"
Priceless... I would have never gotten Valentines Day from VD...Maybe VD on Valentines Day! Sometimes you've just got to give it a rest! Must get more sleep!
I also watch while typing or at least try to eat lunch then
I read that the audience will slowly find out who all is in the accident. Like yesterday just about Nick, Sharon, and Jack. I know Cane, Katherine, Lauren, Paul, and the lady cop (can't remember her name). also Victoria (we already know this), JT, and I suppose Adrain. What about Amber? Not sure about her. I think I saw her with blood on her in a preview.
You're more concerned about how much it cost

I have bifocals for reading & typing, and although - sm
I'm perfectly fine driving without glasses, I have some driving glasses, which just makes it a little easier to read street signs from distance. It's to correct astigmatism. I could also have gotten trifocals, but someone I knew with them said he had them and never could get used to them. I also chose the bifocals with the line, rather than the lineless ones. There was supposedly a good reason, although I don't remember why!
Happy Birthday...keep on typing
I'm 72 and still typing..:-)
No kidding. I'm not typing my fingers
to the bone for a week or two straight just to buy a freakin' purse! Maybe if I was a CEO or something, but not on my MT pay. Or maybe if I was an MTSO, LOL...
Can't afford to be hooked to anything, except typing right now!!!

If you are that concerned about a potential love interest
check out abika.com. There are a million ways to find information on someone - for a price. There is no such thing as protected privacy anymore. Remember, though, saavy suitors can find the same information about your mom in the same way. She doesn't have to know you are doing it either. They have one section where all you need is their screen name from one of maybe 3 or 4 of the major dating sites to start a search.
I don't know the answer about the SS benefits.
Studies show typing doesn't cause it, but
the mouse isn't great for us. But you can protect your median nerve by using typing gloves like SoftFlex, which have little pads that protect the nerve when you rest the heel of your hands.
But you are more concerned about her feelings than the life of your cats
Sounds like you care more for her dog and her feelings than your cats. Sorry if your feelings are hurt for people getting upset with you but that is a lot less than what your cats felt. There is no suggestion you can give her as it is apparent that she will not take them. Plain and simple -- it will not stop and if you get more cats you are asking for it. So either accept the situation as it and beware that it may next be you or your child or your dog or do something about and that is getting rid of the dog or keeping it in a fenced situation.
Because it seems as though you are more concerned about her feelings than the life of an animal
Since you no longer have any cats there should be no problem until they attack a member of your family and then we can go through all of this again. Why are her dogs more important than your cats -- because she treats them like children -- come on get realistic. Not only were your cats providing a service for your family they were older and had been there longer and deserve better treatment and loyality than what you are giving them. Again, since you no longer have cats and do not expect to get any more why do you need any solutions until these dogs do it to someone elses animals that will take action against them or your SIL. And putting them in a 8 x 12 foot run is not that bad -- lots better then letting then "run at large". Again I am just going by what your attitude --not much concern about the death of two cats but really concerned about hurting someone's feelings. Good luck.
I got to get back to typing her but need special prayers
my DIL and grandson are in flight from Hawaii to LAX to be with her mother, his grandmother in the last few days of her life. Her name is Pat. She lives in Placentia. She is in the hospital right now but wants to come home when they get here. My son also in HI, scheduled to leave within 10-12 days to Iraq but he is having some medical issues. Please pray they will not be of a serious nature. Please pray, he is thinking his men will think he is faking this. It is just all the stress he is under....Thank you in advance
Hopefully you use an expander, and aren't typing it all from scratch? NM

I'm getting concerned. I've had a muscle spasm under my left eye
At first it was just an annoyance even though it was constant, now it's really worrying me because it does it non stop. Any thoughts? Thanks

Write an anonymous letter. Type it up if you are that concerned, although I sm
am a big fan of minding my own business. You need to talk to her first instead of about her like this. Tell her your concerns. Be real and up front. Say, I don't respect you for this because you seem to be able to do such and such and I should turn you in. Don't be scared to do this. But if you are afraid, then write a letter since you say you know the insurance person and secretary.
Yes!! I get extremely bored and have trouble staying focused on typing. sm
Some days I am so bored I dont know how I am going to get through the day!!
