I agree with you, but I worked really hard to come up with the $1,700 and our family had so much fun

My kids are young teens and it was a family affair that everyone loved and we would for hours and hours together. No, it isn't anything compared to losing my home and thank goodness, but it hurts me to no end that a theif got away with it and so will my sister and BIL. There's no way they will pay unless I take them to court, and I just can't do that.

As a teenager, I worked as a waitress...it sure was a school of hard knocks. LOL.
Waitresses have one of the toughest jobs. A good waitress deserves all of her 20% tips. Not enought money, IMHO.
The family practitioner I worked for simply snipped...
skin tags off without local, as the injections caused just as much pain, if not more, than the quick snip. These were small skin tags though and the scissors were super sharp surgical scissors, not like the kind found in a kitchen junk drawer ;-)
Depends on your pain threshold and how squeamish you are about things like these I guess. Couldn't hurt to numb the area with ice or even Anbesol first.
Agree. My TracFone has worked ever time, very

Agree, Tina is hard to watch
sort of makes you want to look through your spread fingers in front of your face. LOL.
Die-hard Eagles fans here too! Whole family loves the Eagles! We are cheering for the Bears in the
Go Bears!!!
I agree! Many kids are overweight, lazy and don't want to work hard for anything!
Good luck to them in the working world...how many do you think will actually do well? It's a scary thought.
I completely agree with you. Cats much happier inside. Hard

oh I agree with your statement about family...LOL...
No, I don't want *ANY* family just *dropping by* unannounced.......*LOL* -
Friends yeah, neighbors yeah
family....no thank you *rofl*
oh and I do love my family.........it's just that *family* can be and usually are so judgmental...........we don't get to *choose* our families.....but we do our friends *S*
but then I rolled off the family tree of nuts.......*l*
I have to agree here. Go home and see your family....sm
who needs doom and gloom day-in and day-out. Really, you need to celebrate the little things in life, like waking up and just being able to breath the fresh air!!
Family is what makes you happy and feel fulfilled........go home and see your family. Be happy, enjoy life...cause you only get one shot at it.
Best of luck and I wish you happiness and peace!
I totally agree, and my family knows I
do not want to be viewed. However, I have heard a few psychologists say it is better for the ones we leave behind to actually see us this way to help process the death and to move forward. I still don't want it for myself. To each his own I guess.
I agree, this family is sick and you MUST look out for your son
if your husband objects, he's as sick as they are. Maybe the two of you should go over some night and watch the video, see exactly what your son is forced to watch every day?
I so totally agree with you there are many, many addictions in my family
leaning towards them in some respect,i.e. gambling, overeating, drinking. I completely stay away from gambling and drinking, and am working on the overeating. Have never needed drugs, i.e. pain killers or nerve pills, but I also hope I never "need" them for fear of becoming addicted.
I am the one who posted about the debate of "disease versus not disease", but so get what you say about labelling it and giving the abuser an excuse to not get help.
I have to agree. Places of worship are like family.

I agree. The Goldman family is a class act. They
deserve justice for their son and this is finally a feather in their cap. The sight of that moron Simpson makes my blood boil. Mr. personality can now give that big Colgate smile to his cell mate in prison. How will he ever continue the search he said he would be on to find the real killer of Nicole and Ron now that he will be incarcerated? What a joke and what ignorance of the people who let him slip through the first time around.
I agree completely with Jerrie, Call your local Division of Family Services and they can help
tremendously, especially if she is a danger to herself or others. They can take custody of the elderly, as they can the young children, and protect them from all sorts of abuse, including themselves. You will not be a bad person for doing this, but perhaps a Godsend.
My prayers are with you.
Family is great but I am never back in my hometown where family is... So I always have extended fami
You can always pick your friends your stuck with your family. An Xmas for me is where my husband and kids come home to. It is what you make it!
Summer. Friends or family? Family. Tired or Awake?

Big difference between family values and family jewels, eh? lol
LOL. I love this show. I think Gene and Shannon and her sister are a riot! What characters. It really is amazing to me the kids seem so laid back and so normal. They seem like great kids.
Does your family still do the early Sunday dinner w/family?

What an awesome post! I agree, agree, agree completely with you.
 You are right on the money in my book! 
5-HTP worked much better for me.

It worked!
I'm not as dumb as I look.
It worked!

Here is what I did and it worked.
When accidents occurred indoors, I never scolded unless I saw the crime. I would take the paper towel that I used to clean it up and go to the area in the yard where I wanted him to "go." After a week or two, the area was marked with the scent and the dog, when outside, concluded that was his area to go potty. Soon enough, he chose that area to do his business.
When I did catch him, I took him directly to the area in the yard which was the potty.
They catch on eventually. Be consistent and don't scare him.
What worked for me -
I lost 20 pounds doing low carb 4 years ago and have kept it off by watching refined carbs. I have always exercised and continue to do so. I like *Yourself Fitness* because the workout is different every single time. Best of luck!
It worked!
He looks like a sweet cat my in-laws once had when I first married their son. He was left outside, was intact, flea-ridden and battle-scarred but a sweet boy. Loved to have his head scritched. He lived a long time for an outdoor cat.
It worked for me.
I learned something also. I did not know that the more you weigh, the more calories you burn doing the same thing, interesting. Thanks.
Thank you T...My DH worked his way...
up to six figures (yes, the low end). You are right when you say some people think that is a lot of money when sometimes it is just enough to get by on for some people. We are fortunate and have made it a point to be debt free. We will not be a slave to the lender, working only to make payments on meaningless things. There is no reason for the catty remarks and jealousy. Some women are just bitter about life, and if that is the case figure out how to make it better. Life is too short to be unhappy.
What we did, which worked -sm
Same story here, except sometimes the dog would actually get out from under the fence and commence to follow us around our yard and bark when our neighbors were not home. My husband finally went over there one night to ask them if there was any way at all they could stop their dog from barking nonstop. They said they knew it barked and were very sorry it was bothering us. It stopped for about 6 months and then began happening again. Hubby then wrote a short note and placed it next to their mailbox, all the time stating we wanted to remain good neighbors with them but would very much like to be able to enjoy our own yard without hearing their huge dog barking all the time. It never happened again after that, going on 2 years now. No problems at all with them. Sometimes, it seems, people are very clueless or careless until you mention it to them. Try saying something in person. You may be surprised in a good way. Best of luck!
What worked for me
Tempting though it is, you don't want to reward timid or frightened behavior by giving affection then.

When I have detected nervous energy in any of my dogs during storms, I just started playing a favorite game of theirs to distract them. The noisier and more rambunctious the game, the better. The breeds I've had are not particularly sensitive to noise, I admit, but I learned with Sasha that all I had to do was play growly bump (her own game she taught me) to take her mind right off a storm.
If this worked then....(sm)

What has worked for me - sm
Hey, I literally feel your pain! Sometimes it feels as if I am sitting on a huge nail on my right buttock. Look up stetches online for sciatica. Like others have said, it really does help. I also get chiro adjustments and get a sports massage every other week, so I can continue to sit in my chair. Hope you find some relief!
worked at an
less expensive places gave the food they were going to throw out to employees, however the expensive place I worked at was 20% discount only.
What has worked for both me and my husband...
Lower your carbs starting NOW. Eat plenty of protein, along with a little fat at each meal, to keep you full. Do not drink your calories. Stay away from ALL refined carbs until you get where you want to be and then really keep them low because most of them are plain old not good for you anyway. Never allow yourself to feel *starving* because your body goes into a mode where it holds onto fat and the amount of calories you burn really drops down. Also, you have GOT to exercise, no way around that. Get moving EVERY single day, no excuses. Following these rules has allowed me to keep off the 20 pounds I had put on from never moving out of my chair (typing ALL day) over 5 years ago. Just had my blood work done and it is EXCELLENT. Good luck to you! :-)
What has worked with my hubby -
Men want to be fed. They want REAL food. To them, that means meat. I take hubby to Longhorn that night, he orders a big steak, potato, veggies, salad, etc. I also buy him some silk boxers with hearts on them and, well, you can guess the rest! He usually gets me candy and flowers, but he is always very surprised and happy when I do things for him this day. Good luck! :-)
Glad it worked for you!
I had those shots from the pain clinic before they put me on the narcotics, but they made me way worse. I will never ever have them again. I'm really glad they worked for you though. I tried all sorts of things before going to heavy duty pain meds, but nothing worked, and I wasn't functioning at all. I looked and felt like I was 80 or more even though I just turned 30. Now, I'm on a 50-mcg fentanyl patch with oxycodone 10 mg for breakthrough pain (along with other nonnarcotic meds) and occasionally using a TENS unit.
I still don't function at 100%, probably more like 60% to 70% on a good day, but at least that's better than where I was.
I hope the conservative measures continue to work for you, but if they don't, please don't let anyone tell you to learn to "live with it." I went through that for a few years, and trust me, it's no life.
Best of luck to you!
Actually, I worked for a PC company
a long time ago supervising the commercial aspect. They always tell you that, but they can and do die in walls. We were sent out many times to cut them out after people insisted on using poison.
The best advice that I can offer is that once you get rid of them, you seal off any areas where they can get back in. If you don't do that, then you will continue to have problems.
Now rats instead of mice, I don't know what to tell you to do if they are eating through the walls!
Me personally though, I had a rat as a pet. In fact, we had to put her to sleep about a month ago.
The foil worked! Thank you so much! nm

When I worked as a nurse (sm)
There was this CNA who would open up the windows every time someone would die. I thought she was kooky (for many reasons), but she said it was to release the spirit of the person.
I'm not superstitious, but I won't eat beans more than 3 days in a row.
I know and have worked with several doctors
Actually as a Transcriptionist I was glad because so many times you'd get Dr. Smith (if they got married, then which one?) Well, if they keep their maiden name or at least hyphenate it that made my life a lot easier. I think it also may have something to do with the fact that if they are in practice, everything must be changed and imagine the expense? Also if they are well known, they maybe do not want to jeopardize that. As long as the couple is happy, and he is not offended, I think it is just fine. Congratulations! I would address the letter Drs. April Cox and Richard Grant. JMO. 
Worked around this before in cytology
and abnormal cells can also be due to an infection, just like it can be related to malignancy but I would take the lower end first. If it were me, I would definitely want follow up just to make absolutely sure the next Pap would be okay.
if the original had actually worked,
would not have had a problem with the scars. They are on the inner part of the arm, of course, as you probably know and unless I turn my arms upwards, sideways, would never know. I do not wear short sleeved blouses but it is not for that reason, for the fact my upper arms never changed any at all. Like Oprah, I have the bat wings.
I have worked on-site, but I'd have
to disagree with the fact that the typists are not taken seriously is due to the fact that it is a work from home position. The big national companies took this from us. I was an on-siter, made fairly good money (hourly), will collect a pension, and had all of the benefits (which kept getting more expensive each year). I make plenty more here from my home being an IC with my own accounts. Once the hospitals and physicians began to know that there were companies they could call on the phone, dictate, and have no worries, they took them up on it. Why should they pay benefits when the transcription companies could alleviate this expense. No worries right? No vacations to pay. No sick time to pay. No workers' compensation claims to pay for carpal tunnel or back injuries. I still feel that we are professionals. There are actually work-at-home Moms that are note typists, but have made a nice business for themselves. The work-at-home thing is a trend for parents to take hold of their finances and still run the household. I know it is not for everyone, but times are a changing. This computer age has really taken a hold of the economy. The media has really taken a hold of our children. My Mom would tell me about how they show so much more now on TV about the war then they would have ever in the past. We were saved from all the guts and blood. Those days are over. It is a dog-eat-dog world out there now, but I can say there are a lot positives. Virtual assistants are all the go... enjoy the ride!!! LOL - Take care! 
I think my mom worked at Kresgies
right out of high school for a short time. Wasn't that like a five and dime department store? My aunt used to say my mom spent her check before she had it. They closed Kresgies before I was born so I don't remember it at all,but the building is still there and they have renovated part of the downtown where Kresgies was with a theme on Warner brothers as the city was the first place they filmed.
OH THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!! IT WORKED!!! SM
i'm going to write that down so i'll remember. hopefully it won't happen again. i told 5 y/o stick to playstation!
thank you so much!!!! 
When I worked in an MD's office,
this was discussed a lot. We identified 3 factors:
1. The rare but memorable mothball smell where people put on their best duds to see the MD, but they are from 1952, and have been stored in mothballs.
2. Corn starch powder, which has a very musty smell to my nose.
3. Rose water perfume. Everybody in the office would be nauseated when one of these ladies would come in.
Worked there. I can answer this.
Worked at clinic. Some employees better than others at following thru. Some times super busy, i.e., emergencies, overload on phone calls, dr. needs this, do that, come here, etc. There are many reasons for delays. As far as Dr. not listening, what is surprising about that. Try to get Dr. to repeat back to you what he :THINKs you said. You might have asked, "Can you tell me again what this medicine is expected to do?" Drs would sure like us to believe they are a couple of levels above us lowly mortals, but as MTs we all know they are only human. And some humans are better, smarter, more patient, better listeners, etc than other human. You need to be proactive and take charge of your issues.
Glad it worked out well...sm
Hope your daughter is feeling okay...she's been through a lot for naught....You stood up as an advocate for your child and I applaude you!....You are your daughter's first teacher.  Cat
I have one. Worked for a vet clinic. I know.
It is still cruel. Even the vets I worked for were disgusted by the practice.
