Hello everybody!
I posted this before but i wanted to repost and explain some things. First of all, i never ever receive any of the money when you donate it goes straight to the Walk America people. I just thought this was for a really good cause and thought maybe some of you would want to be included on this serious problem in our world. You can donate as little or as much as you want.
http://www.walkamerica.org/tanyabyer
That is the website they made for me. I'll be walking 4-14 in my hometown. Or if you know anybody that would want to be included let them know! Thanks so much for your time and i won't repost this again lol. Just thought some of you thought maybe it was a scam or something.
Thanks again.

Me? I'm a walking commercial for them! LOL.
Am still amazed at how well they clean! Also have a microfiber mop. I used to get on my hands and knees and scrub my floors, but after I found this mop, that's all I use! I have so many of these cloths around my house because I just don't want to be without them! Have given them to my DILs and my friends, and they love them too. I can just go on and on about them. I know it's crazy, but after all the years of scrubbing and hands that get cracked and dried from chemicals, I just can't say enough about them.
I have walking pneumonia
I was diagnosed Thurs. and have laid around till today and I feel better with the z-pak the doctor gave me. I am on day 4 with meds. I got up and did small things yesterday and today but I am so used to be up and doing so much more. I like to run 2 miles with my dog daily and go to the local Y to lift weights 3 x a week. I am no string bean by any means I just wish I would feel more awake and alert. Has anyone ever went through this crud? I am 36 and am wondering when I will feel back to my active self again. I just got up from an hour nap and still feel sleepy. I heard it takes some up to 10 weeks. My mom told me it stays in my system for 5 YEARS. Gosh, she was no help. Just let me know if anyone of you have any advice please and thank you!
Tips on walking my dog
This is my dog Kane, doesn't he look sweet?
He is not sweet on our walks, he is a big butt nugget, he pulls and wants to walk as fast as he can.
I try and wait for him to calm down before we leave for the walk but as soon as I touch the door knob he gets excited.
I am just using the leash as a collar and leash, I wrap it around his neck so I can pull it when he acts up, which is the enitre walk!
Any ideas on how to stop the pulling and make him focus and mind?
Yes, walking my dogs about 4 x a week.
They drive me nuts any day they don't get their walk. It's almost easier to just give in and walk them, and we all feel much better. A good one is closer to 3 miles I think. I am fortunate that so many new neighborhoods have been built around me, although it does mean the dirt roads/woods are disappearing, but those were too muddy a lot, so it's a tradeoff. I've lost 5 lbs since getting the new dog, CJ. He likes a faster pace.
Glad I could help!! Walking is the ticket..sm
and it doesn't have to be FAST walking - just consistent walking everyday and everyday doing a tad more in distance.....
I also wrote down what I ate during those 6 weeks and tried to keep everything under 1000 calories per day....but I forgot to protect my teeth/gums...and bottom gums receded (early)...take minerals/vitamins if you do this!!!
Good luck hon...*S* It can be done!
I'm walking in your shoes, but I walked further
There is only so much you can do. If she is a danger to herself or others, you can get an involuntary committment from a court to have her placed in a psych ward. It depends on your state how many witnesses you need and how far gone she is.
My dd stays with her dad (my ex) and I have had to cut off all ties. She finally got into a methadone program and got a job (which she quit when she got a garnishment on her paycheck for past-due child support) and is going to the local county health department where she was placed on a mood stabilizer. Every time I have talked with her over the past year, it seems she is worse than the time before. I don't think she is on the right meds. I have had to cut off all contact with her because I am raising her child and I just do not have the energy to be everything to everyone.
Like your child, my dd was depressed - I even saw it starting at about the age of 9 months. She was cycling in manic/hypomanic moods by the time she was 7 years old, only back then we didn't know what it was. We just thought she was high strung and spoiled. When she was 11, a close friend of hers from school committed suicide and she began self-mutilation. At the age of 14, she got kicked out of several psychologists offices because she lied and manipulated them. She lived on the streets in New Orleans at the age of 15 and it took us a year to find her. She finally came home with her boyfriend so she could get off the street and promptly got pregnant. She was "okay" while she was pregnant, but after the baby was born and the guy left, she got into drugs. OxyContin is her drug of choice. She chose that life including stealing her dad's credit cards and lots of other things I would be ashamed to post in public. She chose that over her child. I am now raising that child and I don't see things getting better even with all the "help" she is getting.
I'm sorry you are going through this, but one thing I do know is this: If you keep giving her money, a place to stay, food to eat, clothes to wear, she will NOT have any personal motivation to get better. She can sell the food and clothes for drugs. She can use the money for drugs. She will use you until you are all used up, and then what good will you be when she finds she really needs you for something important, like making different choices for her life? I wish you all the best. I know how heartbreaking this is for you. Funny thing is, I get okay with not having a relationship with her until I talk to her, then I fall apart for a few days and have to disconnect again to keep going ahead with my own life. So for me, I have to allow her to make her own choices even if it means that one day soon I could be attending her funeral.
Mine will just kind of keep walking as I am talking (sm)
he will just walk out of the room as if he expects me to get up and follow him and keep talking if I expect him to hear me. He is "in charge" of many projects in his profession. He has a lot of people who work under him and brings the same attitude home. I hate it too. Many times I have said to him, "Look, I don't work for you, buddy, I'm your wife." But he continues to do it. We get in big arguments about it. As far as the sex issue between you two - you don't go into great detail but I would say you are going to have to really have a major conversation about that and tell him that you no longer like playing that role. It sounds like he just expects to rule over you both in bed and out of bed. You are going to have to change all that - but let me tell you it is going to be a big transitioning process! I am still not content with my life as it is, but I have made a lot of headway. But when I decided to stop being a doormat, I offended my inlaws as well as my husband. When people get really used to someone being very submissive then as soon as you start to assert yourself, they are taken aback. They become offended and feel like they have to fight for their dominant role again. This is disgusting but it's almost like a pack of dogs fighting for who is going to be the Alpha. I have to constantly remind my husband that no one has to be the "boss" and that we are not each other's competition. I am still stuck to a degree though, and like you, I think it all stemmed from letting it start out this way. I think talking to your minister is a good first step, but you, yourself are going to have to be more assertive and what you did - turning around like that - was a great first step. Yes, it made him angry. And there will probably be a lot more arguments on the way. The other lady who posted about how great her marriage is blah, blah, she just likes to brag about her situation all the time. I am happy for her, but her life is not like ours is right now. She has no idea what we are talking about. We all know there are good men out there and if we had one, we would gladly be constantly affectionate and have sex with him all the time - we all want that. So I just want to say one big "good for you" to her and hope she reads this. One day when she's in a nursing home maybe I'll have a great second husband and I'll e-mail her about all the great sex I'm having.
Walking 'round in Women's Underwear lol
Not really my favorite but the funniest...lol
Have you tried the In-home walking DVDs by Leslie Sansone?

Going to Ruth Chris in Coral Gables and probably walking around

Yes, sure you are correct, I didn't catch the 'An walking'..nm
'An walking'.
I regard myself as an 'grammarian.'
My mistakes are almost always just typos.
Electrical current through foot, the other hangs in walking midway through a step, anyone else?
have this problem? I have been to numerous physicians, have been told neuropathy. I am walking so gingerly this morning around the home because know if I step flat on 1 foot (left) it will have the electrical current as happened earlier this morning. Always when walking, never with lying, sitting, etc. You never know when it will happen. The other foot (pedal foot, right) will hang in mid air sometimes when I am taking a step which makes me hop so I will not fall. Gosh, I would love to look forward to my vacation this summer but sometimes the feet ok and then other times not so good. I know the electrical current is probably nerve related but have been told so many nerves in the foot would be like looking for needle in haystack to trace down. I mostly only wear bergies and put them on as soon as I get out of bed. This is not good!!
My babies liked them, and ....
I liked them, too; once I got used to them that is. It took me a bit to position them in there just so, in a way that I felt they were comfortable. I used it a lot - much easier on tired arms! I also used a front carrier when they were a little older, (like a couple of months old), and liked that just as well. :-)
babies
Forgot I cannot use quotes. My babies are not mine - niece has babies, I just get to be surogate grandma for them. Wish they were my own, but unfortunately, I am way toooo old to raise babies!!
These are my babies....sm
This is CJ, which if you believe others, would be a evil, dangerous, not to be trusted pitbull. NOT!! He is so sweet. Also the beagle is my Darla. She is very fat and very lazy. CJ and Darla are bestest friends.
my babies!
Boy Bailey (white one) and Girl Rylee
Both now 2.5 and about 50 pounds!
i love them to pieces!

my two lil sweethearts
Having babies.......
In our case, my hubby and I were married two years before we started our family. My niece, who was 22 at the time, was married less than six months when they decided to have a child. My daughter, now 25, was married 4 years before they started working on a baby and she is now due in February.
Another friend of the family, also in her mid 20s, was married less than a year as well when they decided to have a baby. Another niece was married 10 years before they caved in, or should I say she caved in. Her husband has been wanting a child for years but she was too worried her figure would suffer... (OH BOY!) Well, she is now due in a couple of weeks and he is elated. He is now 36 years old and I too think he has waited long enough. She will have that child so spoiled.
All in all, you need to decide these thing beforehand. If you guys have been together for a while, then maybe starting a family within a year or so isn't such a big deal. I don't really go for all this getting to know one another stuff. You should already know one another before the wedding anyway. So many couples have been together these days for years before getting hitched that I don't really see the need to wait any particular length of time before starting a family.
I must say though, having babies in your 20s is a lot easier when it comes to chasing them around and getting up in the middle of the night over and over. I've had friends have children in their mid to late 30s and a couple in their 40s, and I have to say they lack the energy, especially the 40 somethings. Good luck with whatever you decide.
Just be glad he is looking forward to children and to being a father.... too many dads out there who don't give a rip!
These are my babies....sm
The big bulldog is much more of a tit than the beagle believe it or not. He would just die if I left him somewhere. I don't know what to do with him if we go somewhere.
and someday, men WILL be having babies...n/m
My Furry Babies
The bigger one is Mojo and the skinnier one is Mimi. Mimi showed up on our door a year ago as a stray - very skittish, skin and bones. She disappeared a month later, showed back up two months after that and has never tried to leave the house again!
Aren't our babies fun??
 My Simon tries to put two toys in his mouth and throws them at my feet when I'm working - okay, I get the hint!! 80 degrees in Texas Monday - awesome.
Your babies are adorable!
I think it is really sweet that you love them so much that seeing their picture makes you teary. I am sure that they miss you as much as you miss them. Hopefully, you will be reunited soon!
I agree with you that these babies need
support, but I don't think any monetary donations made will go to these babies. I'm hoping the mother receives WIC to provide them with formula and food stamps to provide for the older children. If anyone wants to make donations, I would suggest all donations be made in the form of diapers, clothes, toys, etc. No money, no way.

PS -- I would adopt one of these babies as well, but I think the mom is too selfish to give them up.
People have babies...
They better fix her first or she'll pop out another 10 babies... sm
on camera.
We usually have babies on the front - sm
and back porches, though I got rid of the nest on the back table on the porch as it was just a drag having to worry about if the dogs were going to figure it out and eat the babies, had it barricaded in a bit last year and all surived though. It was right by the back door which we let the dogs in and out from so it took them a while to get used to that. We did not hang out plants this year out front but when we do we always end up with a nest in the plant, makes it hard to water but we still manage to do it. But no nests so far front or back, had a family of rabbits under the shed though that all survived from whatI can tell, at least our dogs did not get any. Last year had a cardinal build a nest about 2.5 feet off the ground in the backyard and my Lab knocked the babies out, we put them back in the nest and moved it to a safe location near where they had it but they ended up dying. The birds tried again though, this time in a tree right by the back porch, high enough so the dogs could not reach luckily and they all made it that time. Neat to watch every year, will have to keep a look out. The birds have been stealing my husky's tuffs of fur I am pulling out from his massive shedding going on rigiht now. Seeing them flying off with fur in their beaks is funny.
I don't know nothin' about deliverin' no babies...
But just the fact that she was unaware that the hospital she sent them to had closed their birthing unit is VERY scary. None of the other stuff sounds kosher either. Thankfully, this story had a happy ending. Still, I'd follow up and if this woman IS a fraud, I'd sure want her shut down so she couldn't harm someone else.
This is exactly why women are the ones who have babies. Most men are such "WIMPS" it isn't
even funny!!!!! They can't handle it. That is the ONLY reason a man won't take care of his health - because they are afraid of what the doc might say. I say, be a man, toughen up, and take care of yourself! It doesn't do anyone any good if you're good and dead! Trust me on this one. It took me YEARS to get my husband to go to the doc. He finally did it and now is better than me when it comes to appointments! hahahaha
Zoo Question -Animal Babies
Why do they keep animal babies in the zoo nursery? Their mothers are in the zoo. It seemed so inhumane to have them alone in an isolette or crib with a warmer.~ :(
My SIL was heavy and had two healthy babies.
With her last pregnancy, she started walking and eating better while she was pregnant. She weighed less at the end of her pregnancy than at the beginning. Baby was 7 lbs and healthy, too!
D'oh! Can you STAND little babies?!
Oh how I wish they could stay that way forever! They are so much fun--tearassing around the house, exploding and jumping in midair over apparently nothing, leaving the litterbox at warp speed after taking a dump...
That's it...I need something new to cuddle! 
so sorry, it sure hurts when you lose your babies.. nm
m
Get rid of the cat? Seriously, this is like having babies and asking how to keep poop off the diaper
f
My friends with babies all said the same thing....sm
--Disposable diapers, any size because they will all be used eventually and you never realize how many you'll use.
--Onesies, because they're constantly dribbling and peeing on them (a few different sizes since they grow fast)
--Pacifiers, because they get lost/left behind very easily and you always need one.
They all say a lot of the gadgets look neat but aren't practical, espectially the Diaper Genie.
I usually buy mostly practical stuff as above, and then 1 little cutesy thing that's more for mom, like the silver rattle, etc. But really, they need the boring stuff and those will get the most use.
I like the other poster's idea of putting it in a baby tub...or a baby bag....
I was feeling sad recently, when I took my 2 babies
to have them bathed (cats). One I had bathed before and he is the most outgoing. His brother (they are 2) is a very shy guy and runs and hides from most except me. The person at the shop picked him from the way his mother would carry him and he went without a whimper. They were there getting bathed from 8 until after 5. I am thinking of bathing them myself next time- I mostly took them because they have dry skin but still came home with dander. I can do it myself- those boys love the water and try to jump in the bathtub so I will run some in there for them. I always heard cats did not like water?
What beautiful little babies! They are just precious. Thanks so much.

Octuplet mom "obsessed" with having babies
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/31/nadya-suleman-octuplets-m_n_162756.html
The woman who gave birth to octuplets this week conceived all 14 of her children through in vitro fertilization, is not married and has been obsessed with having children since she was a teenager, her mother said.
This just gets weirder and weirder. The doctor who implanted the remaining embryos in her after she already had 6 kids needs to be censured at the very least.
No one was comparing the babies to animals
Why do you not read the postings correctly. I said I might as well ask for contributions for my animal rescue if THE MOTHER could put up a website asking for contributions. I see no difference at all. I pay it forward almost every week doing my rescuing and contributing to causes I find worthwhile contributing to, not a psycho person who intentionally populates the earth by herself and has no way of taking care of such a litter. I am very angry at people like you who are bleeding hearts. Give them all your money- I know just by the glimpses I see of this wanna be Angelina Jolie that she will have to look elsewhere for help other than this person of sound mind. I do not give money for stoopid causes. Have at it!
They'd be doing everyone a favor (babies, grand-
favor if they took custody away from the little budding porn-star and let families who are TRULY loving and caring, (who didn't have them simply to get themselves in the spotlight), adopt and raise them, without sticking us with the bill.
I don't think anybody could ever plan pregnancies and babies EVER..
but she even looks different, me & my dd were talking about that..not to mention, with all this stuff up in the air, the show just really don't seem the same. I do like watching the kids, but it's not the way it was..
I agree, I had 2 babies with negative ultrasounds
I did not have the same negative ultrasound finding that you have, but 2 of my 4 babies did have things wrong on the ultrasounds from not functioning organs to cysts on the brain. Both babies were born healthy and are today still years later very healthy and happy. I also had a friend who was told she was going to have a trisomy baby, but a scan 2 weeks later proved the first scan (or technician) wrong as did her amniotomy, a perfectly healthy baby girl. Hang in there, I am sure the thoughts are filling your mind and heart every moment, but try and look up info on Google just to gain more knowledge. I will pray for you. :)
No babies at home, but still working, only difference
is I don’t have to do the wash, have housekeeper for that and other chores in the house. I would be willing to say a lot of high-powered women CEOs would never ever say they want to work from home so they can be little Miss Housekeeper. If they want to climb that corporate ladder, just how does that sound against the male. No wonder the other gender makes more than us.
Unborn babies can't talk until they are given birth
gaa-gaa or a coo until probably 3-4 months. They sleep most of the time right after birth, so when do we ask and receive an answer?
They used to do that with extra fingers & toes on babies that

Blah day I wanna take babies for a walk (pic)

not a kitty, but i take any opportunity to share my babies
Dont know what's wrong with Gary but hope he's okay :)
I miss my pups very very much. I am in South Carolina for a few months and they are back home with "daddy" in Nevada. I seriously miss them tremendously...
oh man i just saw the uploaded pic (excuse the mess, we had just moved in) and got all teary... i REALLY miss them. isn't that silly...
Did you hear about the 8 babies born today?
Believe in California- 2nd time this has ever happened. Seven were expected. Eight were found. The mother says she plans on breast feeding! Someone is going to be hungry....
Mother of the new 8 babies, single and has 6 OTHER CHILDREN ALREADY
Talk about litters. She lives with her mother and father apparently. Be willing to say because she is a single mother with all that group she is on welfare. Your tax dollars at work here.
