it sounds racist to me to tell you the truth. Instead of saying children, why separate them? Oh by the way, I don't live in Chicago, live in the south, have biracial child, grown now and she told me NEVER had a problem in school, if anything she always told me had the best of both worlds! She has a wide mixture of all races in her friends from Caucasian to Asian. I as well as she take people for how they act, not a certain color.

I think you brought in issue when you said biracial.
NM
I am in a biracial marriage, not thick skinned, live in the deep south, have
a mixed daughter who is 32 years old and she told me going to school she had the best of both worlds. Live in a very nice mixed neighborhood, just don’t know where this person lives who has to be thick skinned. Has never happened to me.
I have wondered about that sm
I won't take a shower if there is lightening. Is that silly?
I have wondered.....
I am assuming that govt is using the same checking account you wrote a check to them from. I wonder what will happen if you've closed down the checking account for some reason. Seems like a lot of red tape for the IRS (is that an oxy-moron?). Then funds are returned to IRS and they have to cut check? Seems like it would be easier for checks to be cut for everyone on same day and mailed out. oh well....just something I thought of as I was reading the posts. With us, our stimulus will cover the checks we just wrote to them for last years taxes and this quarters taxes. Kind of makes you feel like your not getting anything....gee what a deal. HA HA. Okay, its late and I'm a bit loopy.
just wondered
The tampon thing is just gross. I have seen stuff in my magazines using those to make crafts. I'm sorry, but there is no way I would make a craft with something like that. lol
Often wondered that myself.
I always wondered about that...thanks!!!
I've often wondered if the growth hormones added to dairy products could possibly be absorbed into the human system and be contributing not only to the precocious puberty you mention, but also to the obesity epidemic amongst children (of course, I realize the sedentary activities such as gaming also contribute to this problem).
I avoided any dairy products with that growth hormone when my daughter was younger and bought organic instead just in case.
Thanks for the info, DB!!!
I often wondered too.
Years ago my niece got a small bird on her stomach. The tattoo artist (I use that term loosely) asked her if she planned on getting pregnant and, if so, to think about placing the tattoo somewhere else. She went ahead and got it on her stomach. Three children later, it looks like a vulture spread out on multiple branches (those would be the stretch marks).
I have wondered if
I would actually be a bit faster if a little tipsy (as more relaxed), but I'm afraid I would end up too drowsy after a bit.
I wondered the very same thing.

I have often wondered how people sm
find sites like this. A while back there was a young girl that asked for money to help pay her bills due to credit card debt. People actucally sent her money. How are these sites even found? Just curious?
She is quite fashionable. Yes, I wondered where her

I often wondered if a hysto
would help with PMS symptoms. I even thought about exaggerating a few of the physical symptoms, if needed to get one. I do have back pain to the point of seeing a chiropractor. The cramping isn't too bad and I don't have a heavy/long cycle. I just have severe PMS. Thanks for your input.
good for you, wondered how you
were doing. I am so happy for you. The decision you made was a good positive one and that alone would improve your outlook and mood.
OMG!! That's it. I wondered why mind was so.....sm
explosive and obviously ready to fight over just anything. Why I never took this into consideration I will never know, but that is so right on!!
I have wondered if I have fibro too...sm
I have been soo tired too. I know tiredness goes along with fibro so I wondered. I don't know.
I have always kind of wondered if they ...sm
were really his because the children look 100% white to me. I mean, I know, it is possible I guess to have all white features. It is just I haven't seen a mixed child myself who didn't at least have a tanned skin who was of mixed race. I had a sneaking suspicion that he wanted 100% white children seeing as how he obviously wanted to be white himself. I mean, he did something to his skin to lighten it, and it was lighter than some white people's skin. So I can see him not wanting a child with dark or even slightly dark skin as a lot of mixed children have. If he wasn't comfortable himself having dark skin then do you think he wanted them to have dark skin? I don't. I could be wrong, but I have always suspected they weren't really his by blood. Of course, he was still their father whether they were his biologically or not. He is the only dad they knew. So he was the father, yes, but biologically, I don't know.
Hmmm, wondered why they had the cap on that baby
in the Bahamas? Did anyone else notice that? Baby mama drama continues.
Dang, I wondered why it hurt so much
sharper scissors, huh?
I had wondered if it was bec his joints are sore (sm)
That is interesting. He does seem arthritic these days but I thought it was just from him being so old. I had wondered if he was chewing his paw (the top of his paw, not the pad) because his joints hurt. I feel so bad for our poor pets who can't tell us what is wrong. I guess he will have to go to the vet (whether he likes it or not!)LOL
Have often wondered why they take my picture at such an angle (sm)
to make me look like I have a major second chin. WHen I look in the mirror I think I am holding my head tilted back and it doesn't show to me as much. (The glory of looking through trifocal lenses I suppose.)
If you are happy with yourself and healthy, don't stress about it. I think we spend too much of our time obsessed over our appearance anyway.
P.S. this came from a fat and sassy grandma, so take it for what it is worth.
I agree with you. I just wondered if all the folks
speaking out in defense of the bible being there would feel the same if it was another religious document that was not in line with their beliefs.
Out of curiosity, do they have bibles in public school libraries? I honestly don't know.
I wondered about that as she is going to costa rica for
several weeks this summer, plus cheerleading camp, plus "regular" summer camp. We got her an IPOD last year so maybe a gift card in her stocking to download some more music would be okay?
Oh, I wondered when our aetheist friend would arrive.

Worried, horrific rib pain (I think) and wondered
if anyone else has ever had this, what did it turn out to be. I was diagnosed with fibro but this is really unbearable. Any thoughts?
I could have written your post. I've wondered too.
 
So glad you asked this, have wondered the same thing. nm
!
Totally agree and I've always wondered...sm
HOW the H**L do they get away with it when they obviously are NOT the majority?!!?? I don't get it. And if they have "rights" to have things their way, what about OUR rights to have it OUR way??? I've just been baffled and dumbfounded about this. Especially the whole Christmas thing. It seems to me, that if 99% of the people WANT Christmas parties or Halloween parties or whatever then they should have them. It would then be the parents right to keep their child home from school on the days of the parties they do not believe in. The same goes with the Pledge of Allegiance. If you don't believe, don't participate. Don't take away everyone else's right to have it! I also don't understand how these people can live with themselves. They have to know they are the minority, yet they took away our rights, not to mention in some cases, many, many, many years worth of history! I'm talking about everything, not just the school parties and such but things like taking God out of the courts, the Pledge of Allegiance from schools, etc.
Can you imagine if we did our presidential elections the same way? The winner being the one with the fewer votes just because some p*ss head was a crybaby and couldn't deal with not having his own way. To me all of it is just a DUH! situation or as Carlos Mencias says it "dee dee dee!" and shame on the courts/government or whoever lets these idiots get away with it!!!! MY rights have been taken away because of a FEW a**holes that apparently weren't getting any satisfaction at home so had to get their jollies off on something else!
Same goes with banning books from libraries, shows from tv, etc. If you don't like it, don't buy it, don't watch it, don't look at it! DUH! I don't like onions but I'm not sueing grocery stores because they sell them and having them banned from the shelves! DUH! DUH! DUH! FREAKIN' DUH!!!!
And WHY the H*ll are WE, the majority, not putting up the same fight the p*sshead, friggin crybabies did to get these things back??? Instead we sit back and p*ss and moan and cry about it. (and go off on boards like I am right now, lol)
Struck a chord, sorry. It's been building for a very long time. 
U, ttoo, am glad to see you back,. I always wondered
that they sent you home with fever and so much pain.
Never hesitate to go to the ER when you are in severe pain and have fever.
Better safe than sorry.
Especially if one THINKS having a heart attack or stroke.
Because here 'time is of the essence.'

I needed a box of Kleenex. I wondered what people who watched in

I was not laughing at anyone. I just wondered why people didn't post

I saw that too and mentioned
to my hubby afraid really the nipple about to show, very revealing, not just low cut but almost out like you are saying.
I don't believe I mentioned that AT ALL
I only plan to show the page to the principal and, in case he is unaware, give him the website to find this information. I stand firm that the employees of that school and any other school should be very aware of who is entering their doors. Where did you get the notion that I was going to plaster posters all over? Naturally I am very concerned about that little girl and, from what I understand, counselors are involved.
This is just want I mentioned
in a previous e-mail - unbelievable! A few posts above I spoke of a story I just read about a wife whose husband was diagnosed with Asperber's at age 60 after leading a full functioning life.
I would have mentioned about...
Sex of child/teacher and age. I need opinion regardless of age and sex. Does it suit a teacher to use word honey and sweety? ethical?
Like was mentioned above, it is all in what

I did not see mentioned that your
grandmother wrote a will. Why did she not write a will?
Also: Why is the 'nephew' only your sister's nephew?
How is the relationship?
If your grandmother did not write a will, that means she died intestate, then the State takes over the distribution of your grandmother's assets. There are strict inheritance laws which will be implemented.
I doubt that this 'nephew' can take your inheritance away from you, since you are the grandchild and he is only the child of a grandchild. It seems that your grandmother's lawyer will be the executor, unless your grandmother gave a power of attorney to somebody else. This is the person who sees to it that all heirs get their right shares.
I have also 1 question, like the other poster:
What happened to the 'children' of your grndmother, namely the 'parents'?
They are the first in line according to succession.
I thought about it too. Michaels has lots of beads. Just wondered if my mature
xxxxxxxxx
I think like you mentioned in your other post
you just HAVE to wrap that and give it to him as one of his gifts for Christmas (unless he thinks of it first) LOL!
just trying to point out that the OP mentioned--sm
specifically that the franchise she was talking about began with the letter D and the above poster said "if you are talking about Pizza Hut..." shows how much they read these posts. lol.
Funny you mentioned that because
my favorite chair was the 1 they clawed to death and I put in an unused hallway until I got the time to spend making sure they loved the catnip more than my new leather. I hear them in the hallway going after that ole worn out chair. I would have had it recovered but once the scratching started, figured they would go at it again. I am doing cleaning this morning and this afternoon will have the time to put their catnip out and take my covers off. Does cutting their nails help any or will they still scratch as much as they do?
If this hasn't be mentioned before (sm)
Chances are the school has a policy regarding this. If not, the child/parent may have some recourse.
Generally school policies supercede general law and rights, i.e. search and seizure regarding lockers (they can go in them as they please).
I'm thinking if they imposed such a stiff penalty, they can back it up lawfully. It really matters not if we think it is right or wrong. If it's school policy (approved by the school board) and stated in the handbook every student gets at the beginning of the semester, then that's the bottom line.
you mentioned how blessed
if you believe in blessings, i would (here goes this word again) "assume" you believe in forgiveness also. i think you should be the bigger one and try to contact your son and make an attempt to straighten things out. at least you will know you tried and then the ball is in his court. :)
I'm glad you mentioned that
I had actually forgotten all about him. When he said three children I thought three, who's the third? He was on a few weeks ago, but they never talk about him.
it wasn't much mentioned or
talked about, but after Katrina, other countries DID send money and supplies and I remember right, a lot of money was given to the 911 fund. I wonder about the supplies turned away Burma a couple of weeks ago. I am afraid that instead of actually reporting news, we are dealt the canned versions and have to suffer through many of the same reports over and over.
I know I mentioned about the gift
but it really isn't so much about that but that she can't find 5 minutes to stop by for my shower. It's right by her house. Maybe she invited me to her wedding reception thinking that I wouldn't come and would just send a gift? I don't know.
I am just hurt more than upset. It makes me feel like she doesn't even try but I guess the gift was her way of trying and my life is just in a different, more mature, place than hers. Having a baby puts life into perspective very quickly.
Thank you for the kind words. I hear this scenario with a lot of people but guess I just thought that wasn't us since we still talk and see each other often. But you are right, I can't let the relationship be one-sided either.
In case nobody mentioned it,
the cat could have a UTI or kidney stones. However, I had a cat that started urinating on the bed because we introduced a dog to the family and she didn't like the dog. Then the littlest thing would set her off, like using the vacuum cleaner, or DH staying out late. DH would come home, flop into bed, and shriek in a most unmanly fashion after landing in cold urine. I talked to a cat behaviorist, who told me to put out 7 different litterpans with all different types of litter. I couldn't live like that.
A second young cat we adopted at about 6 months of age played much too rough with me and with another cat we had. I had to take her back also.
I never once mentioned the Bible and have...
read the OP's post. I also addressed that she says the children are not fond of their father, but have also heard my own mother say that about me--UNTRUE. Personally, I think life is too short to put your needs ahead of your children's. If you do not agree with me, that's fine, too, but I stand behind what I said.
that's why I mentioned what cops said
about 99 out of 100 people answering the door in the middle of the night. I was absolutely horrified myself that I had opened the door and the cops said it happens all the time. Hopefully people reading all these posts will wise up.
I did not say you mentioned squirrel but others did
You said "people from the south will try anything once." That dearie, is total assumption because as a child I was served strawberry shortcake and would not eat as I wanted the strawberries separate, would not eat spaghetti as wanted the meat separate, missed out on other things I now enjoy. You stated we would try anything once. You are just wrong, own up to it.
