In Reply to: Suspicious Minds? - InquiringMT
Which I've never done. I was ironing a shirt and was holding down the hem flat and ran the iron over my thumb. Gotta nice blister and everything! Then my dog tripped me with her leash on the way to the mailbox. So I would say as far as Friday the 13th goes, I'm not having much luck.

no. not superstitious at all. nm

my rule of thumb has always been--sm
if the critics hate it, I will definitely go out of my way to see it. If the critics love it, to me, it is usually the most boring movie I will have ever seen. I don't understand it, but it works for me! lol.
Thumb sucking
I sucked my thumb for many, many years and did not need braces. My teeth are still perfectly straight at 51 years. Lucky me:)
and neither one every sucked their thumb though - sm
my youngest (7) does now in times of stress and when she is upset, started this about a year ago; luckily does not do it much though (once a month maybe) so I don't think it will ever become a habit for her. Both my kids will probably need braces just due to some slight crooked teeth on the one, and my other is missing 2 teeth (the ones on either side of her top front teeth) so there is a gap between the front teeth and the canines, she looks like a little vampire. I know 8-y/o that are getting braces now but I think that is too soon as the 12-y/o molars will probably just screw up the alignment all over again and they will have to have braces twice (my neighbor's kid will have them 2 x but she already well aware of this). What a racket the dentists have going now.
Not really superstitious, but my mother is very much so (sm)
She calls me on New Year's Eve and makes me promise not to do laundry because if you do, "someone in your family will die that year." I usually do not do laundry because she asks me not to, but I believe God controls these things and it has nothing to do with anything I do.
Laughing at myself...I saw a UFO, but not superstitious! LOL (sm)
just suddenly struck me as funny :-)
Not terribly superstitious, but...
I have dreams once in a while (couple times a year maybe) that tend to freak people out. I keep them to myself most times now but if something happens related to that dream, I say a little prayer.
Nope, not superstitious at all
I even have a black cat. I have a friend who's freaked out by the number 666. We when bowl (in our league) if one team comes up with a total of 666, and crosses herself and generally freaks out until the numbers change.
Not superstitious but did you see this?? Ghost? at gas station

Not particularly superstitious but beileve in karma!
I hate flying too so might try that M-n-M trick! LOL!
One superstitious thing I do is "knock on wood" to counteract some kind of jinx. My mom (Irish) has a bunch of them, especially the ladder one and umbrella one...
That's often a great way to get your green thumb on. sm
I did it for a couple of years in Minneapolis (and I lived in the middle of "Concreteville" downtown). A grassroots (no pun intended) organization got a local company to donate (temporarily) their vacant lot next door, just outside of the downtown area, and the organization collected some ridiculously small fee from each gardener (like $15 or something) for the season, and then we each had a small (8' x 10' ?) plot to do with as we wished. It was fenced in, and locked (we had the combination) just to keep our produce from being stolen, and the plot was just a short bike ride away for me.
It's a great way to meet others in the community, as well. I'd be surprised if your city doesn't already have one in place, if not a number of them. I'd suggest calling one of the food co-ops (as I don't know how one would find the plots otherwise unless one stumbled across a notice about them), and they likely will know of such efforts near you.
Iron Man was great!! and you are right RD is very hot! nm

Centrum (with iron).........nm

I have a lot of pain on the fatty part of my hand just below the thumb. Anyone have that? nm

Sore thumb joints from hitting space bar (sm)
They are sore on the opposite side of the thumb, not the underside that hits the space bar. Does anyone know anything I can wear on my thumbs to prevent this from getting worse? I'm afraid I'm giving myself arthritis in my thumbs! Thanks
used to have an old iron claw foot tub
in my old house, worked really hard to keep it, replumbed entirely and it was the most comfortable tub I have ever had. That said - others may not appreciate. The people who bought the house ripped it out almost immediately. I was sick when I drove by and saw it sitting in the driveway.
What zoo still has iron cages. Most have huge

Just to let you know, wills are not iron clad
and can be broken. If that was her child, the one who was written out supposedly, he would come before grandchildren and others in a court of law. Did you visit your grandmother in the nursing home and was she of sound mind? My great-uncle died and did not have my mother, his niece and another niece, in his will. Made no difference. They hired a lawyer, went to court and actually wound up with $7,000 each even though not even mentioned in the will.
I'm not working either; it's a good thing, since my thumb feels like it will soon fall off - n
:)
Wills can be changed, they are not iron clad
I know because my mother and her cousin contested her uncle's will and each came out with $7,000 from their contesting.
....as hard water would have the minerals and iron dissolved

Made to order waffles? If you have a waffle iron (sm)
you could have fresh blueberries and strawberries and cool whip and all the waffle fixings, let them each choose how they want theirs and make it right there at a decorated table! Also bacon and eggs and maybe some hasbrowns? What a great idea!
Alton Brown. I like that show, too. He also hosts Iron Chef America.

What do you think of the quality of clothing today. What I looked at shopping today in nice stores
the stuff wasnt even sewn properly. Do you have to look at everything you buy or just hope it lasts a year.
Added fresh chives today. to the egg today.
and a SMIDGE of soy sauce.
How is she today?
nm
She seems better today
She seems better today, sort of. She hasn't eaten anything since 12 or so last night, but she didn't puke or have diarrhea that I've found anyway. I'm going to call the vet and see about doing some IV fluids if she won't drink something pretty soon. She's just all sunken in looking from dehydration.
She is a very high stress dog. She's trying to sit even closer to me than usual and even tried to get under my legs while I'm typing but I kept stepping on her. I'm hoping this isn't going to be a long term issue for her  Poor dog. I'm wondering if maybe this is a recurrent thing and she was so stressed by her prior unknown situation that is what caused part of her being so skinny when we first got her.
how are you today?
nm
From what I saw today, I do not think
Noah will make it. Does not look good. Not sure about Jack since he is trapped with the methane gas and it looks like he was injured too after getting Sharon and Nick out. What a story line. I guess some people want to leave or are being fired.
I have today off....
Just started FT with a new company last week. I don't get paid, but I don't care. I actually have a holiday off without having to use precious PTO, like at my old job at the Q. I'm doing laundry this morning and then having lunch at my sister's with whole family. Can't wait!
Today is my day off......
normally I try to catch up on cleaning, laundry, errands, etc. Spent 2 1/2 hours at the doc's office...DD has strep. Sigh! Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans.
It was on today. sm
Only a couple of mins on the Toys for Tots. Most of the program was devoted to the studio audience, victims of the fire in the Santa Monica Mountains. Lots of gifts. Only a few mins devoted to Toys for Tots, but the kids looked really happy. Merry Christmas to them.
So OP, how are you today?? Are you ok? nm

Now, maybe, maybe not...44 for me but today...
I feel like I am maybe 64? Been working since approximately 3 a.m. and still a couple of reports left to do before a close my eyes tonight. So, what did you do for your B-day....
Got ours today
I'm happy about it, but it's going to help pay off a credit card so I'm trying not to think of what I really wanted to do with it.
Sorry-- Not with it today-- been ill
Please forgive me. I've been fighting a bug all week. 
I saw it today
I thought it was absolutely the sweetest thing and it made me cry a little tear also. It was heartwarming.
What I am doing today
I had meant to buy my husband and my daughter some cheese and crackers (they are getting other things) and almost completely forgot so went to the store earlier this morning and got 2 of each. Straightened up in the house some as having company over tomorrow. I am going to fix a picnic ham but hubby wants to be here when I start that later on today (he does not trust me much in the kitchen- goody for me). Much of the day is pure leisure- no more shopping, just relaxing. Nothing special for later on tonight.
I took her to the vet today...sm
I wanted to make sure of what the problem was. I took her and he examined the leg and said that she sprained it. He said there was no serious problem in it. He said that with her weight, she is a beagle who weighs 40 pounds, that by jumping on the couch and bed she probably sprained it. She is pretty fat to be jumping around. I said well have you ever seen a beagle this fat and he said oh yes I have seen quite a few. He said she is spayed isn't she. I said yes and that is when she got so fat after spaying her. He said sometimes that happens. The medicine starts with a P but it is the same basically as Rimadyl. It is for pain/inflammation. He said give her one every other day for 2 weeks. She had been taking one every day. He said since she seems to be getting better change it to every other day and then in two weeks just stop giving it. She is back to her old self so I guess her fat butt sprained her knee jumping off the bed or couch. God love her.
my b-day today
Today was my b-day. 49 years old. I handle my b-days really well. As my grandma used to say one year closer to taking a nice long nap. HA HA. B-days don't really hit me, but sometimes I just feel like I'm falling apart. Losing hair, now have rosacea (at least I think its rosacea), and these whiteheads like I had when I was a teenager, and i've got one of those nice nasty yeast infections. Started taking Monostat and now I've got my period. Then I go to the eye doctor and he sits back and says - so tell me about your family history of eye diseases. First thing I think of oh, this doesn't sound good (dad has macular degeneration - he said right away I don't have that). Well I'm on the watch list for cataracts. He said I'm not old enough for that, but it's upper high pressure (or something like that). Oh and I've got some membrane dystrophy syndrome where at night time the membrane doesn't attach to where it is suppose to attach and causes me eye pains for about 10-15 minutes every morning. Oh isn't life grand! javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
My ER report today -
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Difficulty pooping. 
Anyone else waddling today?
I feel like I have been soaked in turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, and pecan pie. I glanced a rear view of myself in the mirror today and said WHOA, love handles!!  Today and yesterday we have all been grazing on all the great left-overs from Thursday.
Anyone else feel full and ready to go on a diet??
Go today. Right now. Go to ER and tell them about bite.

Who has snow today? sm
Big snowstorm here in Ohio! It's been snowing nonstop since early this morning and isn't going to stop anytime soon. My husband's job even cancelled today! We probably have 4 or 5 inches already.
None today but everyday is like
Valentines to me, no difference, love, smooches, sweet talk, hugs, kisses and just everything I need in my man.
Today, 55 is the new 35; and @ 55 I still live like a 25-yr-old.
Haha... maybe the doc is in his 20's and right out of med-school? Or else really old, from a time when 40 was considered ancient?
You're only as old as you act and feel. So that makes me physically 25, and mentally 16. ;p
What is better than getting you pay check today?
Getting your tax refund also. I am now making plans for my vacation trip this summer out west!! I am so excited. I will use a tour company as my dear hubby and daughter neither one want to travel with me. Oh well, their loss and Yellowstone, here I come!
Thanks everyone! I'm convinced! I will buy one today! nm
Alice - how is your cat today?

While out today, I was so tempted to
stop and get a pack!!! This is so hard, but I am doing it.
I cannot drink a coke though. It tastes really gross and I love coke. Dr. Pepper tastes gross too, but not as bad as coke. I've just been chugging water every time an urge hits.
Well, thanks for nothing! What is with you people today?!
All I asked for was a little help. We're actually going to see if the builder will put the fence up if we give a full price offer, but I have NO IDEA how much something like this costs INCLUDING labor in case they try to say it's some crazy figure! If they won't do this, then we're going to offer around $4000 less than the asking price, but I wanted to know if this would be equivalent to building the fence or not???
