I've heard that theory before
Posted By: not the OP on 2006-12-26
In Reply to: did you give him a list of things you wanted?...nm - I think holidays are about GIVING, not receiving!!
I think it is very sad when a woman gives and gives all year long, tries to be thoughtful and generous for Christmas and probably every other gift-giving occasion, and gets no thanks at all. Maybe her DH put a lot of thought into the robe, but I doubt it.
It is about giving and not receiving and I agree with the poster below about how this holiday is really messed up. I think life is about giving, not just one holiday, but if there is such a holiday, then one should at least use that time to show his spouse that he appreciates her.
Just a little trinket from each kid that they picked out. For whatever the robe cost, he probably could have found something more personal... he does live with the woman.
I don't think the OP's post was about receiving. It was about giving. That's all she does.

I've heard of tops and also heard it is a good group.
Yes, I've heard of it...sm
My former sister-in-law had told me this years ago if guys drink this a lot they can possibly become sterile. I'm not sure why, but it was at a party and we had Mountain Dew there and she had said that.
It seems like I've heard
of cases where there was sexual abuse suspected and the custodial parent STILL had to let the child go with the noncustodial parent/suspected perpetrator. And if they try to hide the child to protect him or her they get slapped with contempt of court. I think that really sucks and I hope it is not the norm. It sounds like people were more reasonable in your case.
this is what I've heard
I heard that they are shooting it down over the ocean. It's not that so much that bothers me, its the way the govt is so "flip" about it like its no big deal. I've heard other people say that they believe gvt is testing whether they can shoot down other things....feel stupid now that I can't think of all the "correct" wording, but all in all I just don't feel comfortable with it. I don't blame you for not trusting them. I must be in your generation. We have never received any information to "let" us trust them. I think its a coverup for something bigger going on though. I also think its odd that all of a sudden now we've got satellites falling from the sky???? yeah, right, sure we do...
That's the first I've heard of anything like that. nm

Just when you think you've heard everything...
...now we have shoplifters heaving babies at store detectives.
I'm not sure why anyone would try to use a baby as a missile. They can't be very aerodynamic. Of course, he might have been carrying a "nuclear payload", if you get my meaning.

One of those "..and throw away the key!" stories.
I've never heard
That the Lord provides for drunks and fools...I thought it was babies and fools! Perhaps though, your ex is a fool. Don't be jealous of his lifestyle, he is living in an artifical reality, an alcohol-induced Utopia that will no doubt come crashing down around him eventually.
Now I've heard it all, your 4 year old?
Sorry, that's bordering on child abuse/neglect in my opinion! Poor *babies* :(
I've also heard of dogs
tying right through a chain-link fence.
My dogs are fixed, thank goodness!
ROFLMAO!!!! Now I think I've heard everything!

I've only heard Will Ferrell
doing his version. I need to see that movie of his - I've just seen previews.
I've heard other people saying that, too
I don't have anyone playing sports this year, so didn't give it a thought, but I hope you're right and that the ratings aren't affected or that they change the night it is on.
I've always heard they didn't work for
breeds like huskies. We have a 6-foot privacy fence and tacked chicken wire to the bottom of that and buried it to prevent digging.
The other problem I've heard is, how will your dog react if another dog comes into his yard? Could he defend himself from another dog emboldened by the submissive-appearance he prevents due to the invisible fence? Or would another dog coming into his yard be in danger from him? What about neighbors' cats? It may not be the best idea in a lot of situations, but some people seem to be able to use them.
I've heard that the average lifespan...sm
For Siberian Huskies is 10-12 years, but that 13, 14, 15, even 16 or 17 years old isn't all that uncommon for the breed. Overall, they are a very healthy, hardy breed (at least they should be...) especially compared to some other breeds.
My husband loves Rotties, for example, and there's a terrible problem with bone cancer and other cancers in Rotties. There seems to be a genetic predisposition to it in the breed, and research is being done on that. We lost our second Rott at just 5 yrs old due to osteosarcoma in his front leg. After having the limb amputed, he did well for a few months, then the cancer came back. It was heartbreaking to lose him at such a young age. We lost our first Rottie to bone cancer too (in her hip), at 10 yrs old.
But with my Siberians, my first 2 (not related to each other in any way) lived to be very nearly 16 years old, and died basically due to old age, no cancer. I just lost my sweet old girl Alexx last month, on 01/10/2007. She would have been 16 yrs old on 04/02/2007. I still can't believe she's gone. I still walk into the kitchen expecting to see her there, napping. 
My remaining Siberian is 12 years old and going strong, fiesty as ever, but he has had cancer. He had a major, en block resection a little over a year ago where the specialist took out a football-size area of his thorax, including a portion of 3 of his ribs(!). Talk about traumatic (for me, my dog did fine! LOL). It was a recurrence of a spindle cell sarcoma, first noted and removed (and much smaller) 3 years earlier. *Hopefully* it won't come back again in his lifetime.
I've used Frontline and Frontline Plus off and on over the years for fleas. We've never had ticks. And since moving to where we are now, not far from Palm Springs, our vet's office has said fleas and ticks aren't a problem here, so Frontline isn't necessary. I was skeptical about that at first. But so far they're right, and we haven't had to use anything for fleas or ticks, which is a nice surprise. I do worry about the fact that such strong chemicals are put right on their skin (and I would stay away from Hartz flea/tick products too, from what I've heard), but as far as it maybe causing cancer, I don't know.
BTW, my advice to all pet owners is to consider pet insurance. We use Veterinary Pet Insurance:
http://www.petinsurance.com/
I think it's worth it for the peace of mind alone, so you don't have to worry so much about the cost if your pet needs expensive vet care.
Have fun! I've heard it's an awesome show.
What a sweet nephew! But you know what they say, what goes around comes around so I'm sure he appreciates all you do as well. Have fun! 
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
A cat is a natural predator to those small mammals and birds and I don't see any of them going extinct because of cats.
I do agree that house cats should be kept inside, but only for their own protection and that's only my opinion. My cats stay inside exclusively.
I've heard they are good for homemade..
pizza because pizza has to cook in a 500+ oven. The stone helps when domestic ovens only go that high.
I'm no cook, that's the 'gist' of it, stones.
You can Google the info tho.
Ever watch Sam the Cooking Guy? He cracks me up.
I've heard it's Preparation H (too embarassed to buy it)

I've never heard that it prevents lice. That's a new one to me.
I always thought that children's shampoos were marketed saying that they didn't sting the eyes. I never found that to be true, however. Johnson's Baby Shampoo stings my eyes. Some contain detanglers, but I had boys who always had short hair, so that wasn't an issue for us. From the time they were babies until now, I've always bought whatever was on sale or least expensive. Most times, that turns out to be Suave.
I've heard of notereader scopist
Back in the early 1990s I took a course called Notereader Scopist. They read court reporter notes (those long skinny papers that looks like a cash receipt) and types them into documents. Not sure if that is the same thing. I had found the course through something called At Home Professions but just didn't finish it because it was too expensive. Unsure if this is what you are referring to. I do remember it was a blast learning.
If this was the most sensational story you've eve heard in your life sm
then count your blessings. I know personally in my family and through others, of women/girls who don't know their baby's daddy (does the name Maury ring a bell), drug abusers, child loss, living such a worldly, superficial life....
Her life was not surprising to me. She was just a looker, just gorgeous if you ask me, and so she was like a bright light you couldn't take your eyes off, yet annoying if you stared too hard!
I've heard a catfish scream, but never a frog

I've also heard about paint ball guns...
they shoot people walking or riding on the sidewalk/road. And those things HURT...what's up with the youth of today? Are they really that bored, I mean, they have sooo much more than we (most of us) did when we were growing up. Maybe that's the problem, they're spoiled...anyway, I do hope they get caught. Thank goodness for my good kids!
Isn't that a shame? But it's not just a recent thing. I've heard of it

I've heard in Calif they pull from both DMV and voting records
probably to widen the pool - so no help from me - sorry!
I've heard superglue is almt as good as Dermabond.

I've been running around all day - heard a bit on the radio, but 9 DEAD? Oh goodness. Lord,
help those families right now, God. And that entire city. I used to live there. Can't recall that mall, though. I used to go to 2. If anyone is in that area, I used to live in Bellevue (the Air Force Base there). Where was this mall in Omaha? thanks for any info.
What is the MOST outrageous thing you've seen/heard while working in the medical field?
While working in an oncology office I had a heartbreaking conversation with a newly-widowed young mother of 2. Apparently healthy husband suddenly turned up with a brain tumor, which killed him pretty quickly. The life insurance company did their due diligence and investigated the case, since the policy was issued only weeks before the diagnosis; but the patient had NO indications of illness at the time, and the medical records basically proved the negative; he hadn't been to a doctor because he wasn't sick.
In the course of discussing the point with the claims examiner, the widow told him it wasn't about the money (although she was going to need it to raise her 2 kids by herself). She'd FAR rather have her husband back. The claims examiner said he'd far rather have the woman's husband back too...
... wait for it ...
... because if he were still alive, he'd still be paying premiums to the insurance company!
Yes, it really happened.
I suggested the widow contact the state insurance commissioner's office and report the guy. Even if what he said/did was not precisely illegal, it was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
I've heard good things and about things about taking prednisone. My mom was on it for SM
for awhile and it made her look so swollen. I sympathize with you.
There is a theory that
all the wonderfully strong antibitics we have can actually cause people to have a fungal infection start in their sinuses. But I don't think all MDs are on board with that idea yet.
I rarely have sinus trouble any more, and I was on an oral antifungal for a while, so maybe that's why. But I also quit drinking milk because of all the mucus production, and that helped me. Silk soy milk is great if you want to try it. I still use other products like yogurt and ice cream, just not milk.
My mom gets great relief with saline sprays, and I have used Afrin for a day or two to get things opened up and get pain relief.
Very sorry you are in pain.
Just my theory on that...
Most refrigerator egg trays are on the door, and the door is opened, closed, and maybe even left open for more than a few seconds at a time. I guess this could theoretically cause temp fluctuations, variations in humidty, or egg trauma, thus reducing shelf life.
I have no idea. I have acutal chickens who make actual eggs and I've stored them at room temperature for several days and in the fridge in the egg basket I collect them in, in cardboard egg containers like normal people do, or even in empty cool-whip containers! They're never around long enough to go bad--always get eaten or given away in pretty quick order.
Interesting question though and look forward to hearing what people find out!
What is your theory on
Maybe rumors isn't the right word, more like being told something by another person about your spouse, but all you have is what this person is saying, with no hard evidence to back it up? I hope this makes sense because I don't want to go into too much detail about this. If you can answer, I'd appreciate it!
theory
My opinion on *rumors* or *gossip* is that if there is no hard evidential proof, take it at face value, consider the source, etc. Since you did not get too specific about this, I can only assume that whatever this person said about your spouse was not good, so just consider that whoever told you is only trying to cause trouble, perhaps out of jealousy, or whatever. If you have doubts about what this person told you, ask for proof. In other words, put up or shut up.
What's his theory?
What's his theory?
My theory on Locke's dad
We all know Sawyer was on a hunt for the man who conned his mother, ultimately resulting in the murder/suicide of his parents. He then mistakenly killed Jack's dad, thinking he was the man he was hunting.
Then there is Locke, didn't know who his father was then his long lost mother suddenly appears with that information, leading him to his father. His father sucks him in to a false relationship and then betrays him, basically conning him out of a kidney, then dumping him and running. Later to reappear as the man prepares to wed a wealthy woman. Her son ends up dead and he (Locke)rightfully accuses his father of murdering the woman's son. His father, in return, shoves him out a window, resulting in Locke's paralysis.
I think Locke's father is the man Sawyer was hunting and Sawyer's newly found sense of good will toward his other survivors will be tested when the Others reveal this to him and give him some kind of ultimatum... ooooooooooooooo
Just my wild imagination.
Is this the new Republican theory?
xx
I agree in theory
However, the Obamas are not the same as the Trumps or any other conspicuous consumer. As the democratically elected leader of the country, there should be a degree of empathy with the people who put him in office. While I don't expect the Obamas to "reduce" themselves to buying Walmart tennies, I find it hard to believe that there was not some alternative to a $500 pair of shoes, to a charitable event for the less fortunate, no less.
As they say, If you've got it, flaunt it. As the face of America in their position as first family, maybe they should strive to find a middle ground between the Madoffs and those with tissue boxes on their feet.
Well, there goes that theory, LOL. That's good,
though -- that's how we are with my parents too, very close.
Oh no....another conspiracy theory
Is this like Elvis really isn't dead, and JFK is not dead either. Ha Ha Ha
I saw these photo's you are talking about and it looks like him. His skin does not look that much darker than it should be. His face was so scarred from the surgeries and busted up so bad that he wore heavy duty makeup when going out into the public, so when he was alive and went into public his makeup made him whiter than he was without makeup, however, to me and DH it did not appear any darker than it should have been. Also, after you die your skin turns a bluish color which would give the illusion of why you think he looked darker.
As for the medical stuff/time frames not adding up, nothing has been confirmed yet. Doctors need time to go through everything before they make any statements, but anyone who talks to the media about this without knowledge will all have a different stories. Just have to wait for the coroner to tell us what the exact cause and time of death were.
As for his body "bouncing", I have seen plenty of dead bodies on gurney's before and they do move when the gurney is dropped.
Yes I too will miss his music. He was a wonderful performer, but his body is human, and human body is very frail, especially his - he seemed more frail than most.
This conspiracy type thinking also came out after Elvis had died. So many loved him so much they didn't want to believe he was dead and for years and years people kept saying they saw him. I think some tabloid even had a picture of Elvis pushing JFK in a wheelchair and claimed they were on some island somewhere.
I think people should just live with the memory of his wonderful music and performances not not try to start theories that he really is not dead and this whole thing was "staged" so he could go off somewhere to be alone or something (although I am expecting to see that in the tabloids soon).
Meanwhile I wish the media would stop their nonstop coverage of him. There is much more going on in the world that affects us news wise. Michael Jackson has died. Also Farah Fawcett died too but do they give her equal attention?
Big Bang Theory, How I met Your Mother,
The New Adventures of Old Christine, CSI Miami, Bones, AI. I'd like The Biggest Loser better if they could fit it into 1 hour instead of 2. When I had DVR, I could speed through it in about 45 minutes. That was great.
who defends the theory that alcoholism
can be inherited from relatives and renders an alcoholic innocent and helpless? I mean that it is already in 'one's genes', a predisposition. I disagree with that.
But I believe that living in a certain environment can turn out many alcoholics, but it is in the end a self-inflicted misery.
I am sort of agreeing with your theory, but also because if she had pneumonia
and was taking Vicodin and/or high-dose cough syrup, which are both are known to compromise the respiratory system, if this alone did not play a factor into it.....and let's not forget the respiratry effects of methadone. I believe if she was taking these with the pneumonia she very well could have asphixiated herself.
Now, if any of those drugs were prescribed to anyone other than herself and they coontributed to her death, that person will be facing manslaughter charges. I do not see the conspiracy theory that Howrd was with her when her son died and when she died, because I sort of would see that as normal behavior if her was her friend and confidant. I would think it sort of normal that he would be there at the birth of her child (although I do not believe it is his) and with her when she was ill if he cared for her.
Your approach works wonderfully in theory...
but in reality, this rarely works. I have been an RN for 13 years now, doing MT on the side. I do not look at this from a one-sided MT point of view, but rather from a mother's point of view.
As a nurse, you must know that even when you try to educate your patients as kindly and nonconfrontationally as possible, when you start to point out to them things they may be doing wrong (such as not taking meds consistently or correctly, continuing to smoke when they have emphysema or COPD, eat tons of salt on a low-salt diet, etc.), IMMEDIATELY a wall goes up and the mentality is "How dare you try to educate me on MY life and point out my shortcomings".
Public health nursing is even trickier. From experience, even being as kind and non judgmental as you can possibly be, 99% of the time, this mother does not want to be aware that other people know about her problem. Most of the time, they think "OK, if I just ignore it, it will go away eventually". If others come to them and say, "Look, I know you have a problem, let me help you with it", they only get more embarassed knowing that now everyone at their kids school knows that they are not getting rid of it, and she will likely tell you exactly where to go.
I agree with what you are saying, that we should try to help each other out more. I am not being judgmental, but I guess after 13 years of this, I see the way things are and not the way we wish them to be!
I don't know of any nurse that will make a home visit. In fact, our county is getting rid of school nurses starting next year. They will have 2 nurses rotating throughout 24 elementary schools in the county, none in high school or middle schools.
From experience, the Health Department is usually the only entity that can do anything about this. They can come in and give the mom some education, determine why the child can't get rid of them, etc. For some reason, most people will accept that kind of help from the Health Department before they would a concerned parent from their kids school. Maybe they feel like nobody knows if the Health Department comes, but everybody knows if another parent comes over?
You seem to have a very positive outlook on things. Good luck in your schooling.
Rules of Engagement, Big Bang Theory, House ...
The New Adventures of Old Christine, CSI Miami, Bones, Design Star, Biggest Loser.
Ooooooo! That's an awesome theory! I'm a total Lost freak too. SM
I can't believe I missed this thread!
If you've got one, you've got bunches!
How do ya feel about cats? That's what I'd do...get a cat...but I love cats and love it when they bring me 'presents' of dead varmints.
If that's not an option, and you're not comfortable with baiting, glue traps, or that sort of thing, it'd be worth it to hire a professional 'cridder ridder' or exterminator. Those things will chew up your walls and floorboards like you have no idea and cause incredible amounts of damage. Good luck in your jihad!
I've done this 12 yrs and I've had to take breaks sm
Took a break and worked at my kids preschool one year, worked at a hospital one year, took a couple months off once. It does burn you out because it takes all of your concentration. When I worked at the hospital as a secretary I could not believe how easy the job was ;-) I was sooo used to just getting paid for actual work that when I had a conversation with a coworker or a phone call or took lunch, I felt like I was getting away with a lot! I hope your break works out!! I wish you lived close-by, we could take turns watching each others kids ;-)
Just heard
Very sad indeed.
Never heard of it until now....sm
it sounds like something you'd find in the south. I'm not sure if I like the sounds of it or not!
wow, never heard of it, but thanks!

I heard, so sad. I liked him.
