In Reply to: What do your kids - call you?
which when I got older I was told that I actually started off calling my GM momma and she taught me to call her momo instead and tried to get me to call my M mommy but I never have felt comfortable with it and have always called her Mother even though my siblings all call her mom. However my children call me Mom unless my daughter wants something really big or she is really upset then it's mommy. My daughter refers to her biological as her father and SF as daddy and the toddler has dadadaddadada and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmme lol

I would not call her anymore until she called...sm
me. When she called me then I would call her. If she didn't call me then I wouldn't call her unless I needed something.
but it's coming, and it gets closer and closer!...nm

Call it mother's intuition sm
If you feel the least bit uncomfortable I say don't let him go. When my daughter was about 11 a friend called and invited her to go to an amustment park 3 hours from here and they would be spending the night. Her parents are divorced and they would be going with the father. I have no reason to distrust the father but something was nagging at me and I just didn't feel comfortable saying yes. Most likely your son will be completely safe, but if it doesn't feel right don't say yes. I assure you I am not what one would call an overprotective mother. There are many things I have let my children do, probably some things that other parents would say "no" to. But like I said, if something doesn't feel right then don't say yes. JMO
Bud was married 27 yrs & his mother never invited her to call her Mom

Funny - I call my mother "Ma" now but when I talk to my sister (sm)
we refer to her as "Mommy". Does anyone else do this, or are we just weird? 
You need to look closer at this....it is
xx
look closer
Oh and look closer...we do not have the same scripture on our posts....but you can put any scripture you want on yours...just get it right out of the bible...
God bless! :)
I was closer....
to my mom because she was a SAHM. We fought more but that is because we were around each other more. My dad worked a lot and worked second shift and so I only saw him on the weekends. I got along with both of them for the most part, but was closer to mom. When I moved out, I got pretty close to both of them until my dad passed away last year. I'm really close to mom now.

PS: To see something funny, take a closer look
My bedroom is VERY tiny. And I wanted this big desk. So, I got myself a loft-bed. I LOVE my bed!!! (And of course, so do the kitties). It's over 7 feet tall... got it on Craigslist from a newly-graduated college student. See my phone on the far right corner of my desk? Well, when up up in that tall bed at night, and the phone rings, it's impossible to climb down from that height in time to grab the phone.
Sooo, I rubber-banded a string to the receiver, and ran the string up to the railing at the top of the bed. When the phone rings, I just pull the receiver up by the string in order to answer it. Also comes in handy when it's cold in the winter and you don't want to get out of bed!
Where there's a will to be lazy, there is always a way!
STOP!!!! BETTER TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
This is what I found when researching this:
Just Wondering asked the question; Do the Heat Surge Fireless Flame heaters that the Amish sell really work?
It is being advertised in the local paper (The Herald-Dispatch,Huntingto n , WV ). That it is a Miracle Heater. Saves Money: uses less energy than a coffee maker. Stay really warm and slash your heating bill all at the same time. It uses 1500 watts. It is 5119 btu. My question is. Is this really a Miracle Heater? Should I buy one for every room in my house and turn off the heat pump?

The ads (which are all over the country) are very misleading.
1. A coffee maker uses a large amount of electricity for about a minute. It's true that the so-called "miracle" heater uses less electricity than a coffee maker DURING THAT ONE MINUTE. But you're going to have the heater running for a lot longer than one minute a day. So it's going to cost you a lot more to operate than a coffee maker does.
The heater will cost you around 12 cents per hour to operate. The average cost of electricity in the U.S. is 8 cents per 1,000 watts per hour, so 1,500 watts costs 12 cents per hour on average. This is true for ANY 1,500 watt electric heater.
2. The ads say that the heater produces an "amazing" 5,119 BTU (a measure of heat energy), but ALL 1,500 watt electric heaters produce 5,119 BTU. If an electric heater was 100% efficient, it would convert 1,500 watts of electricity into 5,120 BTU of heat. All electric heaters are nearly 100% efficient, and this has been true for decades. The "miracle" heater is no more efficient than any other electric heater.
3. The website of the heater's manufacturer (Heat Surge, a company in Ohio that has nothing to do with the Amish) is much more honest than the ads. It states clearly that the way the heater saves you money is if you turn off your central heat, buy one heater, use it to heat one room at a time, and move the heater from room to room as you move around. This is called "zone heating." See the Saves Money section of the website (www.heatsurge.com).
This is true, but it's also true for ANY electric heater. The problem is that a lot of people don't like to have just one room of their house warm while all the others are cold.
You DON'T want to heat your entire house by putting an electric heater in each room. That would cost you far more than central heat. Gas central heat, for example, would cost around half as much as having an electric heater in each room. (The exact amount varies depending on what part of the country you live in.)
If you want to get one heater and move it around with you, that would be cheaper than central heat, but you can get a lightweight 1,500 watt / 5,119 BTU electric heater with a fan for under $100 at your local hardware store, while the "miracle" heater costs $350 including shipping. The heater at your local hardware store won't have the Amish-made mantle and the fake flames, but it will work just as well. Make sure to get one with a fan, since it will warm up the room faster, although fans can be noisy.

Vet called before and after surgery, and assistant called this
this afternoon. I cant wait to see her. She has only been gone for 1 day and as one lady stated, the house is empty. Working from home, I have become quite attached to her and her to me. Thanks for all the well wishes and Boo Boo Kitty thanks you too !!
Whatever my mother-in-law and mother are cooking--lol
we go to my in-laws for Christmas Eve and usually have ham and kielbasa (we are Polish) and then my mom usually has turkey or roasted chicken on Christmas Day
I agree - a mother is a mother and a daughter is a daughter for life sm
despite the problems they had, which i truly believe stem for anna's drug problems. obviously her mom wasn't too bad or she would not have raised daniel for a while. i think the mother wants her buried in Texas so the grave will be close enough that she can go visit it without having to come up with expenses of going to the bahamas to get there. although i contradict that too in poor anna needs to be buried with her son.
then what would be 80-100 be called?
Well, I, for one, am not 60 yet tho getting *there*, look 45 (with no procedures/surgery), and my family history is such that they lived long long lives (paternal side)....and I plan on working another 15+ years......
back in the days, 50-75 years ago the elderly then didn't live to ripe very old ages, really.......
what you have is called a
dependency issue- you do not feel well, your hubby has hobbies not at home (could it be another woman or women?), you are not secure. You feel like you have to rely on someone seemingly not there for you.
Well, they just called
and said both were negative. Thank God. What a scare.
So, when your SIL CALLED, what did you tell her?
Your SIL is not a blood relative, but as your brother's WIFE, she is entitled to her inheritance.
When my husband dies, I surely am going one of HIS HEIRS, even if he does not write a testament.
But I will make sure that he writes one and gives ALL TO ME AND MY CHILDREN, nothing to sisters, LIKE YOU!
I am so interested in this, your case, because I hate it when legal heirs are cheated out of their inheritance.
So what did you tell your SIL when she called?
You got your and their inheritance, so give it back to them.
Was it really $ 750.000.-- ?
Give them half of it.
My sister took the whole amount of my mother's money, but AT LEAST she told me about it, later, after she bought her apartment. I forgave her for this, because she told me.
PLEASE STOP MAKING UP EXCUSES AND I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU GET INTO CONTACT WITH HER, YOU CAN IF YOU WANT AND GIVE THEM THEIR MONEY.
Why do they have to be called old
f.... Did you ever stop to think maybe not everyone in life desires to retire? I can retire but want to continue working. It is not always a money thing. Also, when you said appt mixup happened 10 years ago and then you said staff overworked due to rising job cuts, what does the one 10 years ago and relate to each other?
I'm the one who usually gets called, rather than
the main reason is that my brothers & sisters all have *real* jobs, and can afford the long-distance rates. On the other hand, as an MT, I usually can't afford it. But it makes sense, because I'm always here, and it's almost always an okay time to call me.
I also tend not to call people anymore because for some reason, my phone-kharma is truly the WORST! In the past, when I've called friends or relatives at home just to chat and say hi, it just never fails - at the moment I called:
* They were having a huge fight.
* They were having sex.
* A pet just died in the kitchen.
* A relative just died in the living room.
* The house is on fire.
Even worse, if I call their cell, turns out they're:
* In an ambulance racing to the hospital.
* They're on the toilet, or throwing up into it.
* They're in labor.
'Ooops! Did I get you at a bad time?'
Everyone on here has what is called
FREE WILL. No one makes you accept a low paying job, no one makes you sit around with no work, you would have to prove fired because of offshoring. Everyone can turn down a job if they want but apparently the majority here accept what is dished out to them. What you just said does not hold water.
Not everyone knows about why he was not called
MJ when the person made the 911 call, in fact out yesterday heard lady talking on the phone and thought it very disrespectful that the person referred to him not as his real name, she said it twice, why would they not say MJ instead of guy (or gentleman)forgot which one they said. I heard TMZ was first to report first of all. That was who got the first shots of the ambulance leaving the house so maybe they had others checking out, following on motorcycles the ambulance and got the shot that way. There were shots of Princess Diane as she dying in the car after her accident so guess paparizzi (spelling?) most everywhere.
She already told me she called and they said SM
she can't until March because they already had a claim. They would be cancelled if they claimed it. It does cover it, though.
The ones from that site are called - sm
New Lifestyle, the Chocolate and Chocolate Mint are great. Vanilla is okay, Strawberry not so great. I bit the bullet and ordered 2 months worth, in the past I have gotten 2 weeks worth and alternate with Total Soy shake powder which I get at BJs which is the only way to get a good price on these things in bulk. But the NL shakes are only available from that website unfortunately. Cost about the same as Omnifast, Medifast, etc. but from reports taste a whole lot better.
Cats definitely need something called
xx
Update. I called the CPS
It is so hard to do that to your own family but the way she treated those kids is disgraceful. The lady that took the call said that they probably won't remove the kids from the home but they will check out the situtation and give the parents an alternative route to childcare and not to use the grandmother.
That's what they called him on the news!. nm
LOL
don't like being called "ma," too
I correct my son when he calls me that - he is only two. He shifts from "mommy," to "mom," to "ma."
She called just as I was going to post
She called to tell dh that there was no hay seed available at a distant coop or a local coop. I said he found some at a feed store. She said okay. She said she knew he was over at her place but she was too lazy to go over there so that is why she called. She did gab a while to me but the only men she spoke of going out there were men interested in her property, not her. She said some wanted animals but she did not want that because they get out, the jump on her cars. One man wanted to plant like DH is doing but he would have 15 to 20 guys helping him and they would drink and she turned him down. She has 2 young daughters to worry about. She knew dh would do everything himself. I told her, well, he may have me and our two little girls come and bring him cokes or food. She said Great that her girls would love that.
She has known dh for a while. DH and her ex used to be friends. Dh would help her ex care for their animals when they were gone. Her ex tried to get into a business with dh but thank goodness dh turned him down. He was a crook big time. It is a wild wild story about her ex. She did say that she remembers when dh and I were dating that dh would come over, he was so in love with me, talked about me all the time and that he just could not believe he had someone like me. She said she remembered feeling grateful that he was such a great guy and he deserved someone great too.
Well, I have got to go as I was planning on working extra today. I have typed this really fast and have no time to edit so please excuse any typos.
Oh, yes, I remember what they called
winters, years ago, hardly have any now. We have both gas and electricity both here and I just try my best to keep the costs down. I told the people in my home where I moved from they could accept my own budget bils as they were in the 70-80 range, unlike the new home I moved to.
Yes and when she called all females, then
you would have mothers of boys up in arms, calling the teacher biased/racist/feminist/
segregating, whatever- it never ends. If you are having the males and females in class TOGETHER, then you cannot send 1 group out and have chit-chat with the others. If a child goes to all girl school, would not have the problem of talking in front of the boys.

This is what is called a ploy...
…You basically are being played. IF he has money coming, then until he got "the money" I would suggest if in a bind, he either got a loan from a company or a family member that he could pay back. You see, he is not intending to pay you back, really so he has come up with this song and dance about from somewhere else. I would not let it worry me for 1 second and why should you rescue him?? He should be the 1 rescuing. You can only be taken advantage of if you let youself be. I am telling you from years of experience, this man means no good and he has no other place, just trying to get you to break down and feel sorry for him. Get some sense, gal!
I think it is called denial - sm
There is no denying when you see an actual picture, however. Your current height and weight give you a BMI of 37.4, which puts you in the severely obese category.
I would say it's called having no life

That is called fraud.

Mom called friends?..........who are these
xx
Thats a new one. Being called the "T" word for being
x
We used to do that, we called it junkin'
Then we'd load it up and head to scrap shop and "rake it in." We also used to cut grass. My Dad did hauling jobs and we got a pool table one time. He'd keep what we could use and the rest we'd sell at yard sales.
I just called and they said they haven't been
grrrr
It is called karma.

I had no idea what it is called, but between...
the two of us, we make less than $100,000/year. We have two horses. A 2005 diesel pickup that is paid off, a house, 2008 charger that we are ahead on payments on and basically buy what we want most of the time. My 2-year-old son has several thousand dollars in his college fund and we have a good little amount in the bank. I must admit, though, we have an oustanding balance of $200 and some change on a credit card and I have a student loan to pay on, but the card will be paid off this month and the student loan interest is 1%, so it would be smarter to put any extra money on the house or the care, first. I think that, for the most part, we do pretty well on not all that much.
I know how you feel, but it is called
It is clapping and being proud and then at the last minute you fall apart so they can't leave without thinking about you all the time. She will either fail and come back after first semester and be your best friend again, or you will let her go and find another best friend. I don't think either is wrong. Traveling the world doesn't sound like a good idea for a young woman in my opinion. It sounds dangerous and I would not like my daughter to do that. Bottom line: If you want to keep her close you can. You know every button to push. If you want to let her go you can. She is still the kid and will do what you say. Just be careful what you say.
I called my mom right after the incident...sm
I told her. She keeps a loaded gun in her car and one in house. She comes to my house after work a lot. When she is at home, the doors are locked, and the shades are closed. Deadbolts locked. Sheriff has been informed of his issues and they said if he gives any problems at her house to call 911 and someone will come pick him up. She is prepared to shoot him if need be.
Sad but true. Welcome to my world.

There's also something called Goo-Gone that works on sm
pretty much everything. It's reasonably priced - they have it at Wal-Mart and probably most places like Walgreens, etc.
So what will the show now be called -
ha ha ha - Seriously I love the show. One of the best shows on TV.
I have been called only once since I turned 18....
and I am 55 now. I was actually looking forward to it too. I made it as far as jury selection. They needed 13, and I was #14. Oh well..at least I got to see how the system worked. And even if I had been seated, there was no guarantee that the case would have gone to trial anyway.
It varies. Got called ONCE in my 20's, then nothing -
'til my mid-40's. Then it was pretty much every other year, though one time I got called a year later.
The first time I appeared for selection, my name wasn't even called. Then, two times it was called after waiting all day, but I wasn't needed. After that, I made it to the courtroom and it seems like each time I did, I made the jury.
The last time I was selected was kind of interesting, because each of us had to stand up and tell the judge what we did for a living and answer a few questions. She seemed to brighten up and seem very pleased that I was an MT. After that, I could've been at death's door, and she wasn't going to let me off! I do have to admit, though, I listened well, took reams of notes, and when we were handed a 4-inch-thick pile of the plaintiff's medical records to plow through in order to find a few certain details, that was of course my job. So I guess that's why they wanted me on the jury.
It's actually kind of fun. Met interesting people on the jury, the case was interesting, and it was almost like a small vacation to actually have an hour and a half for lunch each day. The downside was I had to work most of the night in order to still make my line count for work and get paid. I was doing a lot of coffee and No-doze to keep me going through the afternoons in court. Then I'd go home, take about an hour nap, and then start typing. Fortunately the trial was just a week, and not six weeks or more!
