In Reply to: I agree with this poster's mother - it is difficult - been there
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.

Deep south - only hog I know is as in
pigs.
Deep south, Virginia, nah I never
thought of that as the deep south. We think of it as the northern most of southern states.
People are more polite in the deep south. There is a sense of decorum.
q!
Born in the south, raised in the south, still live here and WHAT?
I do not love fats and butter, never. South Georgia is about as southern as you can get. I do not want to clog my arteries and eat organic as much as I can. You cannot speak for everyone, only yourself.
I live in the south and here a few miles south of Atlanta
it is around 14 this morning. I had to go out but layered clothes, put on socks for a change, headgear and even gloves and have a really good coat with hood but fur on the inside so I was cozy. Supposedly even colder tomorrow.
Actually, no I cannot tell you live in the south because
I was raised here and have no idea what you are talking about. Cannibal- that sounds like UGH to me, big time and the other porkchop with all those trimmings. Never ever darling. By the way, what part of the south? South Florida??
Well, it's hot. I live in south MS, so it's hot.
And humid. But it's actually not as hot as some places up north!
I think I maybe just had not eaten much in the last few days. They don't let you give blood if you are anemic. I have been turned down many times because of that. I have to cut myself off of iced tea for a couple days then I'm usually okay to donate. I am just typing, had a latte, drinking some tea now, will eat some stuff in a while. Maybe I am tired, too, it's been a tad stressful around here recently. Maybe I will sleep tonight! That would be different. I should probably think about re-establishing my relationship with my Dr. since I finally do have ins. now.
Wow you must live in the south?
Never heard of jowl meat and hot water cornbread? I am a yankee so be nice...just never heard those foods before...sounds like a good time!
it may be different where you live but in South
sickening, really.
Hope you don't live in the South!! LOL (nm)

i live in south alabama and it has been about
Parents were letting their kids walk to school in shorts!!! I won't even let mine walk to school with a coat, jacket, scarf and gloves in 30 degree weather!! I guess they don't mind paying the doctor bills for when they get sick...
I live in South Central
It is nice to see another flatlander. :)
bad marriage. don't live that way!
I learned the hard way in the job world and the marriage world. I'll never reliquish my power to anyone again. I have too much respect for myself than to let any man make me feel less of myself.
A dear MD friend of mine used to ask me (during those bad occupational times), "Why bend over so someone can kick ya in the ass?" I've never forgotten that line, so y'all feel free to use it!
If you go around seeking everyone's approval for your own self-worth, you never had any to begin with. Trust me, it works!
I live in the south and know my accent is truly southern
but I find Paula to be over the top and seemingly a put on with hers. Most I have met from different spots in the US and different countries love to hear me talk.
Is it allergies from all the pollen? Do you live in the South? nm

going from live in bf/gf to marriage questions.......sm
is anyone else having this issue with friends/family where the couple has been living together say 5-10 years and then all of a sudden is having a "wedding" and wants it to be a big thing? i just wonder why waste the expenses on a big wedding when you have been together that long? i have 2 on in-laws side of family doing this and it is just irritating me. i mean they are going all out with showers, parties, the works. i don't feel it is appropriate to go out and spend $50 for gifts on them. what is everyone else's opinion as far as gifts?
I live in the south. Her accent sounds really put on and fake to me, BUT
I actually do think she is a neat lady. No, I do not eat the types of things she cooks. Brother, none of it is one bit healthy! Fried everything and pounds of butter in everything. Yes, it tastes great I am sure, but who can afford those calories on a regular basis?
I live in the south and my landlord told me NO SMOKING before she would rent to me...
x
I also wondered why she mentioned biracial
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.

People being thin skinned again.
Trashy people, as you stated, can live anywhere. Britney and her family definitely fit the classic trailer trash. Don’t have a thing against trailers, my father had 1, my aunt had 1, I had 1 before- but surely to goodness when someone says that you should understand matter of speech as to denote people who fit the bill of lower class. If you don’t fit that saying, then I would not worry.
People are so thin skinned now days, tell me
why if a woman could not have a baby, would she be going into a store and picking up a can of formula? Honest to pete, I have about heard it all now. There are millions of women who can or cannot have children. What is the big deal about birthing? You said all you have to go thru, like? This is an either you can or you can't. It is simple. I had children and chose not to breastfeed, did not feel any way different from a person who did. I think once labor you about have it made.
Take a deep, deep breath...sm
and slowly exhale. Phoooooooo. Feel a little better? You may have been venting, but you still kept your sense of humor. I do sympathize, though. My brother did not think he needed pain meds after his vision-correction surgery. I kept telling him the anesthetic would wear off. I picked up his meds without him knowing. He was so grateful later that night. Chalk one up for little sis. BTW, I hope your hubby gets better soon.
Snow?! What snow? LOL I live in south...sm
Mississippi. We rarely have snow so I can't relate, but I think the snow is beautiful though. I tell ya, a couple of years ago my husband and I went to upstate New York during March or April, not sure now which. I froze to death. I seen enough snow to get my fill. It was a bitter cold too. I am not used to that. A cold front had come through so I don't know if it normally snows there that late in the year or not.
Thick socks. I have the same problem.
thick. Roses or daisies?
x
Put on some thick skin....my gosh,
everyone is so touchy here lately....my opinion is allowed and it does not have to agree with yours! We still can have our own opinions in this country, can't we?
Thick family bond or not, - sm
My child would be yanked out of that very strange and potentially harmful situation so fast it would make your head spin! Children certainly do not need to spend their time worrying about death and being subjected to this weirdness. If it costs your marriage to get your son into a better situation (i.e., camp like someone suggested) then it was not much of a marriage to begin with. Your first obligation is to your child.
Buy one of those thick doormats. My cats love SM
to put their claws in that. It is an outdoor mat, but we have it inside. You have to give your cats something they like more than furniture. If you have anything wicker, put that on floor level for them.
You could go and have vet cut the claws some, but they grow back fast.
make it thick - sounds good
nm
Dancing Thick crust or thin
!
Especially when the person you are taking to is about as thick as a sapling. - sm
I have started my own little dieting regimen and it's working so far.
Just eating healthier and being a lot more careful about what goes in my mouth. I'm also trying to add a little more activity every day. I'm pretty sedentary and even just adding a five minute walk around the yard is enough to get my blood moving for now.
I have lost 17.5-pounds so far and going for another 35-pounds by the end of summer.
Good luck to you.
I have long, thick hair. I found over the years that I get what I pay for. So now I pay around 55-60
,
Mine has some slight curl but not real thick. nm
:
37 y/o and I still have long thick blond hair to my bottom! sm
I have had long hair my entire life...and will probably keep it that way for many, many years to come. I used to be a very blond when I was young, but the older I get the darker it gets....so I do a nice color on it to keep it blond. I have a 13y/o daughter and we are looking more like sisters than mother/daughter..but I am not trying for that at all. I jut love my hair and dont care who else does or does not.
Holy smokes, I have thick, long brown hair
$50.00 for cut and color and my hairdresser does a wonderful job.
I have long, thick, curly hair and so does my daughter...we use Cowboy Magic..sm
You can find it where horse products are found!! It can be used on horse manes or on human hair. I believe they have a website to, but I have always bought it at our local TSC store. This stuff is awesome!!! It can be used on wet or dry hair. You put about a quarter size amount in the palm of your hand and then rub it through your hair. I use a bit more on my daughter, as she is much more tangled than I get. Her hair always looks so shiney and healthy.. and smells great too!! Give this a try, it should help greatly!
Oh no, now I am in deep......
Hubs out of town, returning tonight. I told him I had bought something really good for him today, some succupnongs and got me some home-grown tomatoes. Well I never thought he would do that but then said how he loves those kind of tomatoes, how many did I get? I lied, yes I did, if I have to eat them all tonight before he gets here. OMG I probably have a good dozen left but I don’t want to share....I did buy him those others, why are men never satisfied?? I am so full right now I do not think I can eat those other 12 just yet.
I know deep down in my heart that this is wha I WANT to do. But, I'm not sure sm
how difficult it would be to get back into MTing/QAing after a year or so. It took me a long time to get the job I have now (QAing/MTing).
Thanks for your input! Will keep everyone posted. I hate doing QA right now and typing!......ha
Do you need DEEP POCKETS to buy them?
.
Deep down inside what we all really want is to be.........
Cherished
I have never seen Deep Throat but know I don't want

Still waters run deep and (sm)
Anyone who thinks introverts or shy people are slow or retarded is just ignorant. I'm sorry, but racism is ignorant and judging people without knowing one thing about them is ignorant. This person is double-ignorant.
Can't give you advice, but my son is a lot like your husband. He is incredibly intelligent and the wheels are always turning, he just doesn't spew out every little thing that comes into his head. He listens. He learns.
All I can say to you is thank whomever you supreme being is that you have the pleasure of this darling man in your life. I'm not sure even if you tried to explain his nature that she'd understand. Not to mention she knows everything.
First, take a deep breath - sm
Yes, the school should have called you, but they did not and you cannot control the actions of others, just your own. You also cannot control whether the other mom calls you to apologize. Should she have? Sure, but again, what you do is NOT necessarily what someone else would do. Set a good example for your son and let him see this for what it is - a small incident in the big scheme of things. He will likely not even remember this in a few months unless you harp on it endlessly. I would definitely let the school know about my displeasure at the events of today, but after that just let it go. These things happen. You cannot protect your son from life. 
Deep Freeze !!!
Holy icicles batman ! It is -8 here in New England !
How about where you live?
Deep Purple Dress
Bridesmaid dresses in a deep purple. Not sure if I should go for metallics- gold or silver or stick with black? The wedding is in the afternoon in church and a reception at a golf course. What do you think?
12 inches is not deep pocket--sm
12 inches is barely even standard these days. Mine is 21 inches deep. I need 22 inch deep sheets to at least stay on. You shop around and see where you can find that size for under 200 dollars. If you do, let me know!
Yep. Normal. Just take a deep breath and
They'll probably make peace in a few short years (when you're old and grey-headed and senile, lol)!

Recommendations for deep friers sm
Need some recommendations for a good quality deep fryer. My third one just bit the dust. Have used Rival and Presto in the past both only lasting 1 year or less. I don't deep fry a lot but get a hankering every now and then for chicken. None of the fryers I have bought in the past last more than a year, they quit right in the middle of frying. I sent one back to Rival, it had died 28 days after I bought it. They sent me another and it died 1 year later. On the hunt again for another and don't care the cheapies anymore. Give me your recommendations. 
I really can't imagine how deep this sorrow must be. (sm)
I've only lost pets, and it rips my heart out to lose one of those special ones. The loss of a child would be absolutely unbearable. Time can only round off the edges of the pain a little, but never take it away. Not until you see him again in heaven. At least we have that hope.
True, but I doubt Britney is that deep! - nm
