I have heard enough! 

  Apparently she still has all of her female parts, except breasts...she gave birth vaginally...so it's NOT A MAN...IT'S A WOMAN.  I certainly hope that losing one's breasts does not disqualify us from being a woman.  This poor child is going to be so confused when she learns the circumstances of her birth.  Not to mention that the other woman is breast feeding her...I feel for the innocent baby who is going to be the one to pay for her parents stupidity!

All those people on TV are talking about a 400.00 or more increse in their mortgages. They spent over 600.00 a month on extras. This was on Operah. I can't believe that these people don't have a clue.

Between the 400.00 and the 600.00 on extras...that is what I get in one month.

I have cut back as much as I thin is possible and it is still difficult to make ends meet. I even have went so far as to unplup everything that I am not using.

How do you cope?

Okay, everybody, my new puppy that I love so much already has parvo and is in the hospital.  She went in yesterday morning.  So far, so good.  No vomiting and no diarrhea for 41 hours, but they are not wanting me to bring her home.

Can someone tell me if she is not vomiting and has no diarrhea and she is eating, what are they doing for her that I cannot do here at home?  I would rather her be here so that I can watch her.  If she got sick again, the vet's office is only 1/2 mile from my house - couldn't I run her back real quick (it is a 24-hour manned hospital)?

Anyway, everybody do what you do - say a prayer, send good vibes our way, whatever your choice is!  Just wish us back to good health!

Movie I laughed out loud to most recently was Hostel.  Way creepy movie/plot but still just couldn't stop myself when that girl's eyeball was bouncing off her cheek.

Definitely - Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Road to Wellsville, O Brother, Shrek

I am sick with a bad cold or maybe the flu, not sure, so I know I am more emotional because of that...but my husband made breakfast this morning, waffles, and called the kids, then after they started eating said, "oh, do you want to come eat?" So I went in the kitchen, and he had melted butter for the waffles, but he had left the paper wrapper in the bowl of melted butter.  Without thinking I just took it out and put it on a napkin to throw away, the tablecloth is plastic and it was on a napkin so it is not like it was going to hurt anything.  He started fussing, "why did you have to take that out?"  I said I didn't know, didn't really think about it.  "Well I was going to take it out after we were finished eating, I didn't want a greasy spot all over the table."  I said, " I put it on a napkin, there is no grease on the table so don't worry yourself over it."  So then he said, "well why couldn't you just leave it in there? I was going to take it out later."  I said, "it just looked kind of gross sitting in there, I'm sorry I took it out."  Then I went to get a fork and noticed the bowl he had used to mix the pancakes was sitting on the counter - he had used all the mix in the bowl, just still had some left on the edges, so again, without thinking (I'm a mom and a wife, it's just second nature to me), I took the bowl and put it in the sink and filled it with water.  He yelled at me, "why did you do that?"  I said, "I am just soaking it so it will be easier to clean."  "Well, I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO TOUCH IT!!" So I said, "Nevermind, I don't want to eat." I put my plate on the counter and left the room and started crying...I guess because I am sick I just can't take things as easily.  So I was in the next room crying and he says, "why do you have to make such a big deal about everything?" and I said, "why do you have to be mean all the time - you don't have to talk to me like that, it is unacceptable for you to talk to me like that."  So now he is mad because in front of the kids, I told him the way he talked to me was unacceptable.  But I don't want them to see him act like that and think it is alright, so I am going to continue to say it is wrong.  I dont want my daughter to think it is ok for her to be talked to that way or for my son to think he should talk to women like that.  My husband's father has always talked to his mother that way and still does. They just had their 50th Anniversary, so he thinks it is ok...it is NOT ok.  I am not going to just sit back and smile about it like she does.  And that makes him soooo angry! 

He had rented a room for us for New Year's Eve - but he has been so mean lately I don't want to go.  It was expensive and is nonrefundable.  I don't see the point of going there trying to act like we are so in love when we are not, so now I told him I am not going to go.  Why torture myself being locked in a room with him for all that time?? 

He is the same one I wrote about a while back who scraped up my good cake pan and who thinks he may be an alcoholic.  This past Friday, he took the day off from work, went hunting all day, was supposed to be back about 7...called me at 9:15 and said he drank too much and was not driving home.  I was glad he wasn't going to drive drunk of course, but why does he have to keep going out getting drunk?  He goes on several day-long hunting trips and can't call, sometimes he says because of no cell phone service and sometimes he says because he was so drunk he couldn't see to dial the number.

Ever since I have been stressed over a certain situation in transcription, and my family's budget I have become extremely tired and it is really hard to get my line count. Every day as the pressure builds regarding this my line count gets lower, no matter how hard I try.  Anybody in this situation or ever been, I'd appreciate advice.  I am trying stress busters, exercising, reading books, taking time to go outside, but nothing is working.

Every time I sit down to type, I just get more and more worried and I can't produce! It is like my heart is going on strike against the position I have because there are problems with the situation and it makes my money situation even worse.  My husband is very understanding but this has got to stop. I want to feel good about my job again and my production.  If you say get another job, I understand about that, but what about until the other job starts, what do I do? Arrrggggg. I know life is no picnic but it could at least provide piece of mind so I can do my job! Thanks in advance for any and every suggestion or advice. It will be well appreciated

hope you feel better soon!!!   

and like I said, many folks here in Florida are ill........I'm not, but I'm keeping my distance too...

I have some stay cats, mama and 2 babies at the door. I have been feeding them milk, dog food, whatever they will eat.  Any, one is a little kitten that managed to get inside and I did not know it.  I look in the kitchen and she has a piece of raw chicken.   I had  boneless chicken breasts out to thaw.  Is she going to get sick?  Should I give it back to her.   

What is the mineral content of your water?  I know it seemed to help giving my boy distilled water.  My vet recommended anything high in acid foodwise.  I remember him recommending tomato juice.  He said raw hamburger would work, which I did occasionally give the cat.  The  Purina variety cat food for urinary tract health worked for him. 

This lady (moron) now has 14 (count them - fourteen) children under the age of 7 (her other six children range from 2-7).

She is unemployed, which means she is now a drain on the California Welfare System, who already has enough of a problem with trying to support babies of illegal immigrants, This may not be an issue much longer, as CA is going broke.  Quickly. 

She has no husband.  She will not reveal the father of these children.  I'm sorry - I know that marriages do sometimes not work out.  It happens, and sometimes, for various reasons, children have to be raised without their fathers.  But to PURPOSELY bring 14 children into this world without a father for guidance and support, both emotionally and financially is just downright selfish and sick.  How in the world is she going to care for these children?  I've heard she is hoping for either a movie deal or maybe an A&E special.  Lady, don't count your chickens before they're hatched.  I personally hope she does not get any help from Pampers, Gerber or any other baby product makers. 

I've also heard she has bled her parents almost dry.

One other thing - who is the idiotic doctor who implanted all eight eggs in a woman who already has 6 children?  I have been thru the infertility bit.  Unfortunately, due to the cost of IVF, which runs around $15,000-$20,000, we could not afford anything more than an intrauterine insemination, which did not take.  He ought to be reported to the ethics board. Generally, reproductive endocrinologists do not like to implant any more than 3-4 eggs, wanting to avoid the risk of such pregnancies.  I think the doctor just saw the $$$$ signs.  He ought to be fined and lose his license, at least for a period of time.  Any right-minded RE doc would ask how many children are already in the family.  After finding out she already has six, more than likely, no more than 2 eggs would have been implanted.  Who knows - maybe he was only seeking fame and fortune. 

I only hope things turn out well for the children and she is a good mother to home and has a lot of emotional support from her parents, friends and family. 

Just my 2 cents, for as little as it may be worth.
