Amen Sister! She is totally unrealistic! Totally. Loved your post! sm
My grandparents (from VT), will tell you that my grandfather began farming at 6-7 under the supervision of his 10 year old brother. haha No major incidents - his mother tended the home and ran a nursery and she did have the siblings watch over each other. I didn't even think about all of this until you mentioned the farming post. I loved it!
I, for one, need plenty of sleep - so I must work during the day while they are here...Oops, I gottah go! My 2 year old just fell off the kitchen table.
just kidding

me, three. I seem to catch most of the headlines here
and then I'll Google if I want to follow up. I never watch TV.
Ooh, deadliest catch
My husband and son have just gotten into watching that. I usually work that time of night but they seem to be really into it and it makes me curious about it. I will have to check it out. When you mentioned Emergency it reminded me that I love to watch the ER shows on discovery at night. Sometimes I can catch them before bed. I feel like I get to SEE what I type all day long. :)
Many catch 22s in life
Here's a few I've run across in the course of my life...
You can't get a job without experience...but how do you get work experience without a job?
You can't get credit unless you don't need it...but without it how do you get in a position to not need it?
You can't get a date with a hottie unless you're a hottie, but if you try to date people that aren't hotties, they refuse to date you because they want to date a hottie....
Play by the rules, work hard and life will be golden...and when that doesn't work out because lazy rule-breakes stole all the gold, its your fault, you must not have been trying hard enough.
Life isn't fair. Get used to the idea. And keep trying anyway.
Anybody else catch the little LOST show
that was on last night? It was the writers or producers or something discussing the show. They must read the message boards, like the ABC one and possibly the AOL one, and see all the fan theories. I only saw it because we have DVR set up, and it recorded. I'm going to watch it again with DH.
I suppose there will be a recap of it on the LOST website if you missed it.
Did you catch the photo on Fox of her taken out of her estate?
Gosh, she looks like you or me, did not seem like she had time to have her makeup done professionally before her next 15 minutes. Not hot.

Gonna catch flak for this, but what I would do
is get a bunch of switches and light his legs up any and every time he wants to be as bad as you are saying. I probably could guarantee with the sting you are not going to have to put up with that type of behavior day after day. Of course, with people trying to be so politically correct they will say no spanking/switching/beating, etc., etc. but YOU are the one having to deal with this out of control child.

Terriers also love to catch
mice, but not everybody wants to live with a terrier. You have to be quite the confident leader with a terrier, and willing to keep him exercised.
Anyone catch the Osbournes last night after
American Idol? I have to say I needed a really good laugh and got one during that show. I thought it was hilarious. I thought Sharon looked really great after her bout with cancer.
just keep practicing the word NO. She'll catch on.
she's a user, but you don't have to let her. all up to you. good luck. stay strong. :8)
I saw the bird story, but didn't catch
what was odd about it. You saw a huge bird on a roof in Florida, but I've been to Florida and there are some really big birds there, just like on our coast here in NC. I did't catch what was odd about it.
Did anyone catch this? "is pregnant, has given birth" LOL sm
One is a pregnant woman who has given birth to a healthy baby; he declined to give any other details, including locations.
She 'IS' pregnant but yet she has given birth! Wow, she must be pregnant with twins and only one has delivered thus far, LOL!! Don't ya just love our editing skills as an MT...
Can't ever catch a break! Missed court date for
I got a ticket 4 days before Christmas for having an expired tag (had planned to get it taken care of when my income taxes came in - my fault, but crap, I've been broke the whole year!). So I got the tag renewed the next day because the cop said they would be looking again after New Year's to write another ticket (have seen that my city has had a 25% increase in tickets written in the last month - like they need the revenue!). So, all I had for my little one was a PlayDough activity center under the tree $15, and a pink umbrella and some candy in the stocking from Santa. She was happy, though.
I've had that **??@$ ticket next to my monitor to look at it every day for the last 2 months to remind myself to go before the judge and ask for an extension of paying it until Friday when my check comes in. I have literally been living paycheck to paycheck, sometimes with only $8 in my account in between. Well, tomorrow I am scheduled to go to a different court to get a child support order (money I'll never see anyway), and I picked up my big orange folder to put my income tax return in it to take with me. Guess where I put it? Yup, right on top of that **??@$ ticket. Yup, I forgot to go to court last night. Was being bombarded with emails that my accounts could lose power due to the storm and all MTs needed to empty the systems. Now there is an arrest warrant out on me. I talked to a clerk at court and he told me to stay indoors until Friday, then come in and pay to have the warrant removed, then I can get a new date to pay the **??@$ ticket.
Well, I have to go to CS court tomorrow, but at least it is just a short hop onto the interstate and then quickly out of my city limits. If I can just make it till Friday, pay the warrant, maybe my karma will start changing. For the last 15 months, I feel like I am the little kid on Charlie Brown that walks around in a dust cloud. I have seen the inside of more court rooms in the last year than most people see in their lives with getting custody of GD. I must have done something really nasty to have this kind of karma for this long. Oh, well. They say when you're down, the only way to go is up. At least paying to have the warrant removed is less than the ticket and it gives me another month to come up with the money for that. I'm so broke, I can't even get drunk to forget my troubles! Maybe my luck will change by St. Patty's Day 
p.s. I had to edit this message because I used the word s-t-u-p-i-d to describe that ticket and the website wouldn't let me use it, thus the **??@$ symbols !! 
I love Nancy Grace. working, but will try to catch this one later
thanks for telling us about it!
Yes, sure you are correct, I didn't catch the 'An walking'..nm

My GYN is the opposite....sm
I asked them about this and they're giving it to anyone asking for it but not pushing it yet because they're concerned that it hasn't been out there long enough to know for sure if it really works. I'm with the other posters concerned that with the way the FDA approves drugs then oftentimes goes back and pulls them that they don't have enough data to prove for sure this prevents cancer and that it's not just a money maker without long-term results that it's really safe.
My mom just the opposite
Funny, its the other way around for me. My mom is completely not interested in spending time with me or my child. She would visit her DIL in my town and forget to visit me and my baby. I moved to her town - she'd visit me twice a year if I was lucky. She would babysit her other grandkids free - I had to pay her to get her to spend time with mine. She would run to my other sibling's houses for any little thing they needed - and told them she never came to see me because "I never need anything". I moved far away - she visited me for 2 hours once in 4 years, while on the way to spend 2 weeks with her sister (who she visits at least 2ce a year for a month at a time). She has time for everyone but me, or my kid. Luckily my child has many other relatives on the other side that spend time with him. But I only have one mom. I have begged her to visit me at my new home, which is a couple hours drive from a place she likes to vacation - but I am not holding my breath. She'll just wait till she gets back from her vacation and tell me all about it, to rub it in that she was that close and didn't tell me or even offer to let me meet her there. I suppose I should give up and stop asking her. I visit her once a year and I guess that's all she needs to see me.
Well for me its the opposite
For me I'm the one who is not into having sex so much. The reason is not because I'm unattracted, just that I'm so tired all the time and have a low libido. I'm in my late 40s and husband can't keep his hands off me. I'm not attractive or thin (almost 190 pounds and never considered myself to be pretty - so its not like I'm a young hottie), but he's always got to be touching (private areas). He wants sex all the time. A few years back I heard of some vitamins to improve the libido. Never did take them, just forced myself to want to do it more so we wouldn't be arguing. I'd research into low libido for men because maybe that is what it is. I think my hubby bought some pills through GNC (whatever that health place is) that increases sex drive. So, I'd check out the libido thing or come out and ask why he's not interested so much.
I too get the opposite
Lots of people call me or ask me for medical advice. I don't like it because, although I am familiar with most medicines, disease, etc., I am by far a doctor and hate to diagnose someone's illness. I do however like to make an educated guess as to that I think it is, but that's as far as it goes...
Actually just the opposite with this one:
This one affects mostly young healthy adults worst, they guess because their immune systems try to fight it harder:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/24/AR2009042404075.html
They also say it's not really the 'swine flu' because it's a mix of avian, swine, and another one, all mutated and jumping human to human without animals involved:

I have the opposite problem
It's a regular twin mattress, and actually padded which would make it a little higher I would think, but there is way too much sheet. It bunches on the sides and I have to actually tuck it in.
Go figure...
Dealing with it on the opposite end...sm
My middle daughter is dealing with weight issues on the skinny end of this issue. Kids are just as cruel when the child is extremely small and skinny. My daughter is going to be 10 in September and weighs in at 45 lbs. She is also very short for her age. She was a premie baby and has just never caught up with her age group. We are trying to add weight to her without stuffing her full of junk. I suggest talking to your pediatrician. They should be able to help you with guidelines and safe ways to encourage healthy eating and weight loss. It just seems kids find anything to pick on...but weight is a big issue even at 10. My daughters best friend is overweight, so the two of them together make quite a pair! They are able to relate to the same hurt they feel when being made fun of, even though one is skinny and one is overweight.
Oh heavens no, just the opposite
My hubs spoils me rotten and gives me more attention than I would have ever anticipated. If I bring up his name in talking, he wants to get the subject to anything except him. He is a love and a keeper.
I should note--I did the opposite of what OP is asking
I'm the youngin'. DH is the oldie but goodie.
Have the opposite problem!
DD went off to college this year 250 miles away from boyfriend of a year. I was hoping she would forget about him, but no such luck. He has already visited after only 3 weeks. They will probably both come home for long Columbus weekend, and they are already planning a weekend visit in November. Do I want to see her heart broken? No. But if it meant she was rid of this guy, definitely!
no my dear...just the opposite...
suppresses appetite and because of this you can lose weight until your body gets used to it...but NO you do NOT gain weight...I lost weight. I can gain weight just sniffing bakery goods...so Adderall was great for the first few months with weight loss.
opposite thought -
the tougher the cut of meat the more time you marinate.
A New York strip or T-bone is a good (and more expensive) piece of meat so you would marinate it much less time. i usually keep it very simple and just do a splash of redwine vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper for these.
A flank steak, skirt steak, sirloin like for kabobs or fajitas (usually less expensive) need more marinating time to soak in the flavor and tenderize the meat (which is usually the main reason for a marinade). i have done kabobs in 30 minutes but they are better if you have a couple hours. sometimes the meat will not be as red after marinating for a long time but that is because any vinegar, lemon juice, or acid is beginning to break the meat down and make it more tender. a good marinade to try some time is regular italian salad dressing right out of the bottle. it gets a little sweeat when it hits the grill. i only go about an hour for this with all the acid though.
I am the opposite. My son met a woman--sm
with a 15-month old who I fell in love with the first time I saw her. She climed up in my lap all dirty, tangled hair down to her butt, smelling of old urine and for the past 17 years has not left my side. She has had a horrible life but I have chased the mother over three counties to get her-and then a year later my son's daughter-every weekend. They have spent every birthday, holiday, and summer with me for 17 years. The oldest turns 18 in Jan and is planning on leaving her mother to live with me. She has spent so many hours trying to find similarites between us, we both had blud eyes, both are left-handed, love to read and quilt that she has convinced herself she is my granddaughter. People often think we are mother/daughter and she never wants me to correct them. She has had to be the mother to her sister and has had to grow up fast, but she is the most wonderful child.
Open you heart--the step granddaughter will benefit but not as much as you will. Sounds like she needs all the love she can get.
We were talking last weekend as we were putting up the tree that neither girl can remember having any fun times with their mother and how all the birthday and holiday pictures are at my house and any memories they have are here. Rhiannon is always telling me how lucky she is to have me as her grandmother, little does she know I am the lucky one.
Actually I have the opposite experience. Everyone
I know seems to think I am a doctor and can answer all their questions concerning their medical symptoms and those of their family. I have had people call me asking me about meds and what I think they should do.
Need help with opposite problem sm
I have chestnut brown hair with blonde highlights which is getting too expensive to keep up. Stylist was charging over $100 and I told her thanks but I would have to start going to Super Cuts or someplace cheaper although I did appreciate her beautiful work. Well, she came down, then went back up again to $85 and that's too much. I have never ever colored myself and she said she had to start coloring my whole head with the brown, used to just highlight with both colors. I hate to lose the highlights as they make me look and feel better than just the drab brown. I see products that say highlight but if I have a brown base, how do you get both colors to come out??? Kinda lacking in knowledge of hair, perhaps someone else does this. TIA
opposite problem
For the last 20 years we have been "forced" to participate in the gift exchange regardless of our circumstances. This year, all of a sudden, we must all abide by a new "budget," but now we have money! I think it is just a power play and nothing more.
We had the opposite problem
That's why we have a real tree. My cat was slowly eating all the fake needles (I didn't know she was doing it)and they finally got so imbedded that she had to have emergency surgery and she had so many pine needles in her stomach that when they took them out it was a huge packed glob of them actually in the shape of her stomach. So ever since then we've had a real tree.
I had the opposite problem sm
I am a gifted dressmaker and did this professionally for many years. I mean, I can make anything from jeans, to triple lined parkas, to mens' suits from the fabric up. I am good and we can leave it there.
So, I marry this man who thinks that if it isn't very expensive from a nice STORE it is pretty well $ _ _ _ and he would never wear it or use it! I divorced him and part of it was his extremely prolific high spending habits.
I had purchased a piece of fabric to make him a suit, from Italian wool. The fabric and findings for that suit set me back $400 (in about 1990). When my younger son graduated high school, I offered to take him shopping for something to wear. He nearly cried and said NO MOM I want you to MAKE me a suit. I have waited my WHOLE LIFE to graduate and have you make ME a special suit. So, I did and that expensive stuff when to someone deserving.
It is all in how they were raised. My dad was raised to believe that all women should sew. He and his mom insisted I learn and I topped even her excellent skills. I have learned you can't change their opinions of this, no matter what side of the equation they may fall on. I would suggest you learn to do some sewing, OR learn to tolerate him taking his little projects elsewhere. Even if all you do is crafting and some quilting stuff, that is probably enough to impress him favorably.
That said, he has NO RIGHT to give away your sewing machine, it is YOURS.
Just the opposite in my family.
I'm Italian and grew up living next to and with my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmother. My grandparents were "right off the boat" and everyone yelled. We yelled when we were happy, sad, mad, when the food was ready... you name it! It was loud and fun. My husband's family is not that way. I don't think my MIL would yell if she dropped something on her foot!
Anyone really satisfied with their PCP or just the opposite?
I went to get a mammogram done this morning and got a lot of questioning about my last Pap, last breast exam by a physician, etc., etc. I over the years have really gone thru a lot with different physicians both for me and my daughter. I told the tech this morning could not remember the last time a physician had asked about my having a mammogram and I visited the PCP about 3 times in the past year. I also am under the care of a nephrologist, have seen a rheumatologist and the like. I just wondered if anyone else felt like they have the best of care and if some feel like the care they get is somehow lacking.
It is not saying we are more accomodating - it's the opposite (sm)
It means women over 40 aren't going to put up with the BS that many of us put up with when we were younger. It is a rebuttal to the old "why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free" cliche.
I feel exactly the opposite of you.
x
I wish that was the case, but I'm the opposite.
Even after 6 years I have a very hard time with ESLs (and my largest account the doctor is from Peru). I hate when someone from another country tries to ask me something, I can never understand them and I feel like a total dope. One time I told a lady I didn't know where the item she was looking for was, when actually I couldn't figure out WHAT she was looking for!
Just the opposite here, hubby is into
what he terms as good food rather than fat food (fast food to us) restaurants. I wish I could eat out more but usually when I ask him, nah just fix something here. He is the cook so don’t argue with his cooking and to tell you the truth, most of his food better than what you get out, well Carruba's is high on my list.
It is completely opposite in my house
My son (16) is incredibly responsible. He gets up every morning and makes his own breakfast, I would gladly do it but he says no. My daughter (14) and hubby do not eat breakfast. My daughter doesn't have time becuase she stays in bed until the very last second that she can. My son does his own laundry and my daughter just found the washing machine this past summer. lol
It has been the opposite here in Maine this summer!
TONS of out of state cars all over the place, especially on the coast. I just got back from Massachusetts last week myself and did see quite a few out of state cars.
Just the opposite in this case, the authorities
waiting longer than say for me or someone else I guess because of them being physicians maybe. Having said that, when young children are killed more times than not it is parents, hard to believe but the authorities held back on this case.
I have the exact opposite of anorexic
I am overweight, 5Ɗ and weigh 218 as of this morning. The problem I have is when I look in the mirrow I do not really see me as being grossly overweight, in fact I think oh for your age you look alright. Is there anyone else that looks in the mirror and does not see what you actually are- oh no remarks about getting a new mirror, this is from several I have in the house. I have actually seen surprised before when seeing a picture of myself and basically thinking do I look like that? Thanks!
