gotten his act together, well for the most part. He is still a lousy father but in just the past 2 weeks he has been making an effort. I hadn't thought about not having to buy a casket. The last funeral I went to the lady was quite elderly and lived with just her dog. The dog had been quite ill for some time and it was almost like they were just hanging on for each other. After she died they had the dog put to sleep and his ashes were buried with her.

We're doing okay. Finally heard from my brother.
My brother called today. I've been waiting to hear from him for a couple of weeks because his MIL has been dying of liver cancer. He was calling to say she passed away today. They are all so sad, and I hurt very badly for them. But God answered so many prayers. Both nephews in air forc arrived(one from Germany)in time to see her. His wife and her sister both were there with her the last time she was lucid. They were there when she passed away, too. Even the accommodations they found to stay in (up in the boonies of Wisconsin where they expected to find only hunting cabins) was a miracle. Her suffering is over now. Can feel their pain all the more after just losing my faithful dog, Misha.
I am having a terrible time trying to work and concentrate. Will have to make up on my day off. But DH was off and took Sasha out for a trip to dog park, trail walk, pet store. He stopped for ice cream and they offered Sasha free doggy ice cream, so a very good day for her.
My in-laws called today and my FIL sounded good. We wore him out on Christmas eve with all the festivities, so I was glad he sounded stronger again.
Thanks for asking.
I have a great brother like that too! I love my Big Brother!
Enjoy the love!
I have an older brother and younger brother
and I was a terrible handful, especially during high school compared to my brothers.
Honestly, not sure...
He was wrapped up for DH under the tree for Christmas, but not sure where he is right now.
Honestly...
I would pay the $300 and wait for another bill. If one didn't come after 30 days, I would contact the company. I have been through nightmares with companies when I tried to pay something which was different than what I was billed. I'm sure once they post your $300 payment, they will see the balance on your account and bill you for that.
Not exactly the same thing...but last year I moved into a brand new house. At the old house, we had been averaging our natural gas bill, but since this one is new, they have to get a year's worth of records before they can start averaging. When I transferred the account, the person I talked to was aware of that. However, apparently somebody down the line saw that I had been on averaging before and put the new house on averaging, too. The first bill was over $200 - which wouldn't have been so bad except we had it set up on direct debit. Of course I called, they said it would be straightened out, then the next month the bill was over $100 and they took that out of my account, too! It took me three months and phone calls all over the state to get this straightened out and for them to issue a refund check - since the actual amount of my bill over that three-month period was only about $90.
Having been through the wringer with that and with other bills, that is why I am very cautious when it comes to billing errors.
But that's me. 
You honestly believe that??
I'd be 100 bucks those kids would have acted in the same way regardless of how they were approached. They were ticked because they thought they had a right to be there and it takes a sense of maturity to be able to "get it" when you're that age and think you know everything.
Their behavior indicates that they don't have an ounce of maturity in them. How in the world is the OP in the wrong????
Sorry Hay, I honestly luv ya, but can't
laugh at that one. My son was at VA Tech on April 16 and unless you have been there, there is nothing funny about it.
I honestly don't know, but
curiously, there have been reports of migraines lessening after facelifts. go figure.
I honestly don't see why this is a big deal
This is information which is already on file with the government. Every American citizen should have copies of all of this information.
When you hear something like this, always go to snopes.com and check it out. See the link below.
but do you honestly regret...
Having them? That's harsh, IMHO...of course! I'm sorry you don't have a good adult relationship with your children...that's gotta be my worst fear (well, one of them anyway)...God bless
I honestly have no idea on that!
I have never cut my cats nails. They are indoor/outdoor cats and I kinda rely on them to keep the mice population in check around here, so I need their WMDs to be in perfect working order ;-)
It's worth a shot though, right? Might help...I can't honestly say.
Honestly, what I think is you need to move (sm)
I know it sounds drastic but this is your son's wellbeing and future you are talking about. You need to move away from your abusive ridiculous brother-in-law. Your son has no father figure, and his uncle is a big jerk who should be in jail if he slams his kids around. I don't care if you have to rent a crummy apartment somewhere, but I would get my kid the heck out of there and let him know I am 100% on his side and just trying to give him the best future I can because I love him.
Honestly don't even know what Steelers are.
I just had to "Google" it now. Only sports teams I'm mildly familiar with are Red Sox, Bruins, and Patriots. I don't follow sports at all though.
That's a hoax! ha No, honestly, they get along with a few
wrestling matches thrown in!
With all due respect, and I mean that honestly, (sm)
You insinuated that just because one may not communicate every gory and painful detail of his/her past to the spouse, love is missing from the marriage.
Relationships are complicated and I find no problem with someone whose past doesn't interfere with the relationship not communicating it. If the relationship thrives status quo, then that's between them.
Well, I honestly thought that all that was over for me...lol
I have a 25, 22 and 21 year old daughter's and a 3-year-old son. I forgot how expensive and tiring things were. Wow, today I went out with my 21 year old to purchase stuff for my son. It was really crazy. So, I bought water-guns, shades, baseball and bat, crayons and coloring book, jump rope and a water bottle as stuffers. Then I pitched in for dinner. I am really exhausted. Oh, I have 2-grand-daughter's that I purchased a few things for....so, this is the life (slams...still laughing at myself)
I honestly would not even go to her house (sm)
Why subject yourself and your children to her? If your husband wants to go over there, let him go alone. I would just avoid her. I would see her maybe on holidays and such since she raised you, but you really don't even owe her that. I grew up in a rough family...I see them twice a year. Right now I am upset at my mother for some mean things she said about my children last time I saw her. I have yet to mail her mother's day gift from this past May.
I honestly don't have the time....nm

No, honestly I had never heard that before!
The same way someone recently mentioned Queen Latifah is gay - I had no idea! It doesn't matter to me, I just was shocked, that's all. My heart breaks for their loss of their son.
Honestly -- it's none of your business!
.
Honestly, I think teachers should
refer to students, no matter how old they are, by their first name, always.
Just to avoid misundertandings, like this one!
I honestly do not understand the ins and
outs of how her things are set up. I do not know how property is handled, just how her finances are done.
I had one at age 33 and can honestly tell you I am the poster child for it! sm
I did not go the route of hormone therapy, as I really did not want any more medications in my body, but took the more holistic viewpoint of vitamins and such. I have been cancer-free and worry-free for 7 years.
I truly think you have made the right decision and in the long run will be very content with it. My thoughts and prayers are with you, but as posters have told you below, it is so much safer to be proactive than to be sorry and worried all the time.
Hugs to you!!!
Honestly I think I am dealing with both issues with him (sm)
I think he has a girlfriend and a drinking problem
Honestly, it would hurt my feelings...
I've always had a key to my parents' house and if they asked for it back, it would hurt my feelings. It's kinda like saying you're not welcome here. Every time my parents move, they have extra keys made for me and my siblings, and it makes me feel like the door is always open. I live less than a mile away from them, but I make sure to always call before I come over. You might want to explain why you took the key from your son and make sure he didn't take it the wrong way and that he's still welcome to come back just to make sure he's okay with it.
Honestly I have mixed feelings on this.
On one hand...I feel it is your body, you can do what you wish. Who should say what you do with your body. Providing it is willing, agreeing, consenting adults, that should be their choice.
On the other hand...I think some, if not many, who get into prostitution, it is a bad life...they have low self esteem, no respect for themselves...and they are at their lowest and do not know what to do or where to turn. Many times they are so involved with drugs and alcohol, they can not think clearly.
But at the same time...the ones who are "low", are going to do what they can to make money....whether it is prostitution, selling drugs, stealing....illegal or not, they will do it if they are that desperate.
Heck, there are women and men out there selling thier bodies, making good money...or at least money...why not make it legal so you can tax them!
Honestly, the only part my grandmother
taught me was how to chain stitch. Yes, the blankets i'm making are all chain stitching but that makes them VERY warm and wonderful (and I think last longer). I do have someone at work who said they would teach me how to granny square but i'd like to finish up the current blankets before learning a new stitch.
Honestly I don't blame you for macing
the dog if it's owner isn't going to be responsible enough to keep the dog on his/her property. Have you contacted the owner of the dog and complained? My husband is a K9 officer and he gets these calls ALOT and it ain't all pitbull calls, it is just dogs in general roaming around in other people's yard and not on their own property. The mace won't kill a dog, but it sure does hurt really bad and makes the dog think twice about approaching you.
I can honestly say I love where I live
I can't imagine moving. I love my neighbors and the neighborhood. Everyone is friendly, and helpful. There is a lot of activity starting now that it's getting nicer out, and I can't wait for the bonfires and cookouts. The only time I thought about moving, although never would since it wasn't practical was when our best friends moved about 5 miles away. They wanted us to buy a house near theirs.
Not putting you down, but do you honestly believe Danny

I honestly have meant to answer you about 6 times,
but I keep forgetting! Seriously! I have experienced the same thing of late - last year or so, and am in my late 40's. Its very frustrating at times, but I'm trying to joke about it - my kids are great and fill in the blanks for me. I think its natural, at least I hope. I have been thinking of getting that Nintendo DS brain booster thing on TV, but I keep forgetting...
Hmmmm, honestly, if my body looked like that.....
I'd probably post pictures of myself all over the internet too! LOL
I didn't mind either one. I can't honestly say one was worse
than the other.
Trust me..it was not easy.. and it honestly took 4 years..
I went back and forth, I kept trying to leave but was scared, had no where to go, no way to earn a living etc..I would just keep coming back. Then, I did decide to go to school. That pretty much ended it. I got through school leaving through threats and how I "ruined" our lives by going backwards i.e returning to school. He knew that if I had no education, then I was stuck with him for surviving, and I think he knew deep down, I was preparing myself to leave. The second I graduated and got a job, I moved "into town"..well, after stalking me and doing the "if I can't have you, then no one can" crap and being terrified he would kill me..I upped and moved away and filed for divorced. There was no turning back. I moved in with family and he had no idea where that was. Evidently, it calmed down and from that day forward, I did not take his crap. To this day, the man has never found anyone because who wants to live with that alcoholic loser and when he tried to control me after the divorce, I'd tell him to his face to shove off. That was sweet revenge. I had to believe in myself and believe I was worth it.. and I did.. Life is good..I remember him not allowing me to have a credit card, new car or buy anything..not even washclothes..well guess what..this country girl married a millionaire who gives me the world!!!!LOL
honestly, I would risk it and play dumb. sm
I can only say that because this is anonymous. I can't do that in my case because what I have will not go away. However, I think she was haphazardly diagnosed and I would not just accept the consequences of someone else's negligence. I would skip listing that doc and list my prior doc and if it ever came up I would say I didn't know I was diagnosed with it.
Honestly, if I were you, I would hire a real estate agent to help

We would have loved to vacation in Florida. That was our first choice, but quite honestly
the airfare was outrageous. It was actually cheaper for us to fly from our home to Cancun. A lot of the hotels are all-inclusive in Mexico, which obviously makes it more affordable. It's too bad that these resort/vacation destinations in the US are not more affordable to go to and realize that could keep more people here if they did some price deals. I realize too that it's the time of year when they jack their prices up i.e. Spring Break to go to Florida but obviously Cancun is a huge Spring Break destination and we got a really good deal.
I don't believe in sugar coating the truth. I speak plainly and honestly. SM
If that offends some people, I'm sorry. The only mistake I made in my previous post was to make the assumption that the original poster was a Christian and in making that assumption, I posted the passage of scripture from Matthew. I don't know if the OP is a Christian or not. So my post may or may not have been relevant to her.
But going on the assumption that she is a fellow Christian, we (Christians) are taught in Paul's Epistles to admonish one another which is what I was doing. Her focus is on her neighbors. Their reaction is where she is deriving her happiness. If her focus was where it should be, she would never be disappointed.
But finally came around
I've decided I didn't like having my son be in "special" classes because I couldn't believe that I would have a child who would not do well in school. Selfish, stuck-up, I know. I "let" him be put in speech therapy, and they put him in a special class for learning how to cut with scissors. Eyes rolling here. Dealt with the same school for 5 years and frankly he wasn't learning squat. This year didn't start off any better so we moved and I put him in a new school. He is doing wonderful! They are actually forcing him to challenge himself and do work. I don't care what they call the classes. They are helping him get to the level he needs to be for him, not for any district statistic. He's a much happier kid now that he isn't stressed about being able to participate in school.
Finally!!!!
which dog finally got from Ute and joe.

I'm finally over that flu and then
the cold after that. Zinc tablets did help the cold; it was only bad about 2 days. Zinc didn't seem to help the flu at all, and by the time I figured out it was probably one of the flu strains it was too late for Tamiflu, but it had progressed to bronchitis so I was put on Keflex as well as an inhaler. The inhaler works, but can cause insomnia and crankiness.
I finally saw it today ...
I was off today. First I watched it when DH left the house to run errands and I was supposed to be showering. Then I watched it again with DH tonight, never telling him I'd already seen it because he'd be disappointed that I already knew what was going on! But I still misunderstood a line between Juliet and Hurley. I thought Hurley said he REMEMBERED Juliet from the dock, when the hoods were put over their heads and they got shocked, and then she said it was her day off, like her day off from working as a doctor, so she joined in the fun of shocking the prisoners! Which I thought was wicked humor. But DH said Hurley said he DIDN'T remember her from the dock. I would have thought she was there, but maybe not.
Anyway, what proof does Juliet have that her sister's cancer actually came back? I don't remember Ben proving that, except with paperwork, which could have been faked. And why were we looking at a heart rhythm strip to see if her brain cancer had returned? Wha? And the way I was reading Juliet when she was with Ben, his manipulation of her actions didn't mean she was back on his side or necessarily going to do all of his bidding, even if it she might appear to be doing what he wanted. After all, she was alone now either way, and seems like she needed to join up with the group for herself. So when she said to Jack she was in it alone already, I think she could have meant from Ben, too. She's just trying to survive and find a way back, and this group wants to get back as bad as she does.
But I'm not addicted to this show or anything ...
yea, yahoo, finally....lol...nm

lol, finally something for us that is the equivalent to
California bleached blondes with big boobs?
Keep looking!
lol
Finally somebody with my problem. (sm)
I alternate between Suave clarifying and Wella Regulate shampoo that is probably only sold at certain salons or on line. It cleans and treats your scalp without damaging your hair. However, I still have problems if I skip a day. My hair guy says perspiration is damaging to hair, and I'd never heard that before, but what every condition I have MUST be shampooed every day, which really sucks at 45 years of age.

Cute cat! I finally got a pic of my other cat who was MIA in the last pic!
Here is our middle boy, Bailey. He was MIA in the last pic, and he is the one who gets into the most trouble, but is also one of the most affectionate ones! I think he may be bipolar LOL!
Finally got rid of one after several months
Had to buy a cage trap online and bait it. Eventually got lucky and put something in there it was in the mood to eat, and it didn't manage to spring the trap that time. BF took it for a ride and released it somewhere far away.
Now there's a possum looking to get in....maybe I need to get a dog, my house seems to attract critters.
Yup! I have finally realized it! SM
It's funny because she will always call or instant message my husband or I whenever she needs something! Just a few weeks ago, out of the blue she called and asked if my husband could take her to Home Depot to get some materials because they wouldn't fit in her car and we have a big mini van with a roof rack. I told him not to do it because she is just using us! It's so annoying!
The same thing happened to us when we got our new plasma TV last year! She came over and saw it and said, "Oh I heard those things don't last too long." She always has some sort of rude comment whenever she is jealous! I'm so done with her!
Also, she wanted me to try to get her son's girlfriend a job in transcription. She thought she could do it just because she could "type really fast." I told her that there was no way she would be able to do it if she doesn't have the proper training to learn all of the medical terminology, drug names, etc. Her response was, "Oh, she doesn't need that. She can type as fast as you!" I guess she really is just a jealous, disrespectful person! The sad thing is, she is much older than me! I'm 26 and she is in her 40s! Amazing!
I finally figured out how to add a pic...
I love everyones pics of their pets, so here's my girl Sara sleeping with my son. She is 7 years old and we rescued her from the pound when she was 5 months.
Maybe not out of the blue. Maybe just finally had
