Neither. Not seen dad in the 21st Century, but did see mom to meet my stepfather. sm
They were very young when I was born, only 16 and 19. I have a younger brother who is gay and they have both pushed him away too, though mom a bit less. They were very controlling, highly critical and verbally abusive. The only thing I regret about the lack of relationship is that they managed to drive a wedge between my brother and I. I would thrilled to see him and build a new, grown up relationship, but they have made that impossible.
And for the record...I didn't see either of my parents for about 10 yrs and then decided to try again in my late 30s and early 40s. It proved fruitless. They were more angry, more belittling and just as abusive as ever. I tried, but then again I have changed and I no longer need that sort of negativity in my life.
On January 21st and thereafter, a check is not going to
magically appear in your mailbox each month to help out. Please don't rely on that!
It doesn't matter what century
either. The fact is homosexuality is a sin and I will have no part of any business that supports it.
Turn of the century in New York.

Way cooler new-and-improved version!
Nothing like the old show...very hip, very edgy, very sexy. I'm sure they'll be showing reruns....maybe already are...haven't sat down to watch TV in what feels like forever! (although I do have a few Good Eats in my DVR so I can skip commercials and just watch that oh-so-edible Alton Brown!)
Installing Husband Version 1.0
 Subject:INSTALLING HUSBAND Version 1.0
Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and almost immediately noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance-particularly in theFlower and Jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programssuch as NFL 5.0, MLB 3.0, NBA 4.0, NASCAR 4.2 and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?
Signed,

********************************************************************
Dear Desperate:
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System.
Please enter the command: "http//www.I-Thought-You-Loved-Me.com" and try to download Tears 6.2, and don't forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default toGrumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very badprogram that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources).Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. This is an unsupported application and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. Yo u might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.

I have the older version of the Canon - sm
the PowerShot A20. Very good camera! Takes great pictures. The only thing I'd like to change is to get one of the really tiny ones that would fit in my pocket.
My older (film) camera is also a Canon, and it still takes gorgeous shots, and is better with action shots because the shutter is quicker than on a digital. But once I got a digital, I knew I'd never go back to film!
Canon makes good products... I also have a Canon i850 photo printer, and it makes beautiful prints!
Key words here are translation and version..
The Bible is interpreted in a way for the reader to decide. All of your scriptures are from "versions" or "translations." Do you not know what that means? Well I'll tell ya'... It means that someone has taken it upon themselves to write what they think.
You could look into the human version of same med. Probably cheaper.

as my version of "born again christian"
is a person with that pitchfork on their shoulder still and for life - oh I forgot, you will get to heaven because you are a "born again christian"...well not really, just a sinner who wants to get to heavan in the worst way!! Good luck..I'll be there before you..I lived a good life and do not need to spew hate and intolerance. How sorry I am for you. By the way, if you are a christian, is this the way you act?? Oh, I forgot, yes it is. You ARE THE BEST AND THE PUREST!! Excuse me.
LMAO!!!!
Love the version of the "crackberry!" nm

Yes, I guess you have a "genuine" version of Windows
and not an illegal copy. Can't say that for many of us using company equipment, lol.
Mine's a shorter version but very similar.....
Dump his a**. 
Thanks for checking. I did try making my homemade version.
Not too bad. Needs a little recipe tweaking, but not too bad. I just made sure not to buy Folger's instant coffee for the recipe 
Here's mine for bugeyes... our version of buckeyes... sm
I hear that I am a good candy maker and my secret is I don't measure! I eyeball everything! Lazy! So the measurements I give are kind of guesses... but you can look up recipe for buckeye candy too. We changed the name of ours to bug eyes because they kind of looked like bulging out bug eyes
Peanut Butter - approx 2-3 cups. I use Skippy Honey Nut. In a household taste test with another regular brand this got higher review. Definitely go for a creamy kind and don't use all natural.
3-4 cups powdered sugar (I specifically remember the recipe called for 3, but when I looked in the box there was not that much sugar left in there, so I dumped it in. So basically one whole box of powdered sugar)
2 sticks butter
1 package of chocolate chips. I'm a Nestle Toll House girl always. I think the recipe was actually for those melting choc chips, but I think those don't taste that great.
Beat BP and 1 stick softened butter in very large bowl until PB is really creamy & then slowly add in sugar until it seems to hold together well enough to form balls. I say slowly on adding in the sugar so you can stop when you can make good balls that are moist and not crumbly. Probably about 1-inch size balls or so. Use waxed paper on a baking sheet and stick in the freezer for about an hour.
When hour is up, melt chocolate and about half of the other stick of butter together in pot on stove. You can microwave but I think slowly stirring over the stove is easier to monitor. When all of the chips have melted together, you are done.
Don't let chocolate cool, start dipping PB balls in til coated, leaving a portion of the ball uncovered like an eyeball. I put tiny slivers of unmelted chocolate in the middle of the uncovered part to look like pupils. Keep in fridge until set.
I hope someone enjoys. This is probably a very common recipe, and like I said you can probably find it somewhere with real measurements!. But it is so easy, one of those ones I can make without looking at the instructions over and over and everyone loves. I cannot wait to make them, after typing about it!
Love Ray Price's version if you play

Gokey was merely a Taylor Hicks Version 2.0. Won't go far at all. nm

I found this one for a creamy version. never tried it, but it sounds good. sm

I like this song. Dolly Parton first recorded it and I like her version much better.

lol, sort of like the dancing version of The Surreal Life show??
But I liked that show too :)
I downloaded IE7..no problems.. am running XP Prof, SP2, and have genuine version -nm

There is a free version of Efax that does not require a credit card. sm
Are you needing to fax out, in, or both? You didn't clearly state, but said you needed a number. I receive faxes for free through efax, but haven't sent any that way. Never have I given them credit card info. Check out myfax.com.
You can search for baking mix gifts in Mason jars, too, or some version of those words. nm

Thank you everyone! It has been great reading all of your responses! Goodnight!! "See" you all tomorrow!

what I cannot figure out
I cannot figure out why the judge will not do the DNA swab on the baby and get that part of it over with. Why make Burkhardt suffer, not knowing for sure?
How do you figure?
The Bible states a mark but that can be interpreted many ways. This was written in a time when all the technology we have now wasn't know.
But just as food for thought, the implantable tracking chip is already here and approved by the FDA- so far it is voluntary but they are talking about using it to track immigrants and guest workers. How far down the line will this become mandatory for all of us, much like this new national ID?
If this doesn't concern you you are not paying attention.
No, cannot figure it out
going to work to have money means then you start learning?? I think there are grades that start even before high school showing children how to manage money. It sounds really like she has been very sheltered and continues to be with you asking about how to set up a budget for her. Is not age 18 considered adulthood?? Take a step back and let her do it on her own.
:LOL, I am not the OP, trying to figure it out as well.

I'm still trying to figure out what
Hoffen Koos was supposed to be.
It really is awful how dumbed down our nation is getting. I don't know if it is just me but in the past when I have gone on internet dating sites and they send me profiles that are full of misspelled words and poor grammar it turns me right off and I am not even interested in finding out more about them. I hope that doesn't make me a snob!
How do you figure?
What does the N in LPN and RN stand for then? Nurse. At the hospital and clinic in my city, the only people allowed to take patient vitals are LPNs or RNs. No CNAs or unlicensed people allowed. Secretaries and scheduling clerks certainly don't do it.
Don't try to figure this out
Years ago, probably around the 1990s, when I found my backbone, too long story for now, I decided to go straight to the top when inept people were rude, gave poor service and how I hate stupid, but try to overlook that if possible. If anyone fits into the categories above, I immediately ask for their supv or if in a store for example ask to see the supv. I did this just last week in Wal-Mart when going thru the 10 only item line 2 different people in front of me with at least 25 items each, went thru and nothing said, well not until it was my time to check out and then asking the cashier why she let them go thru, she seemed to ignore me, no good. I asked her again and then when did not get the answer sufficient for me, went to the supv. I did live in a huge city and the service there horrible, especially gov. I now live in much smaller town and that sure is an improvement there.
Two weeks ago had run-in with cable person. Guy showed up, worked here in my home, left and experienced same problem. I called back and the guy answering the phone argued with me that I HAD canceled the appt for that morning!!! I was blowing smoke out my ears and had to ask for supv once again. It is like fighting city hall sometimes just for decent service. The OP apparently just noticing the doctor's places being like this. This I personally have dealt with since probably the 80s and don't know why. I know with dr's office.
I totally agree with Pulling about getting names and time you called regarding appt. I do that all the time because my DH and I both have had that happen in times past. I am a real stickler for time anyway as I do my line count on an hourly basis so have clock right at my desk and use it for verification.
You need to figure out something first
You need to know how long the dictation itself is in minutes. If you record an mp3 of your own voice speaking at a normal dictation rate of speed, you could go back and see how many MB your own dictation took up when you dictated for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.
You also need to factor in the kind of formatting the customer is asking for (straight reports, letters, etc).
Does the customer know how long the dictation is in minutes?
When you figure it out, please let me know...
we have the same problem. The neighbors car radio and home radio shakes my house and we are on acreage, so their house is a good 200 yards away. We can feel their car coming before we see it. We complained to their landlord on Saturday and they turned it down for a while, but it is gradually getting louder again. They do this at 2:00 in the morning. My husband has to get up at 4:00 a.m. for work and I get up around that time, too. I have called the cops and they have received a ticket, and apparently three others prior to our moving in, but it does not stop them. I am irritated because my landlord specifically told me that "those people don't live next door. That house is vacant and being foreclosed upon," before we moved in when I said that I did not want to live next to people who are that loud. Sorry, now I am venting, but I really dislike my scumbag neighbors!
If I can only figure out what she is meaning, then
it is alright. One time she said had made a cake from strap?? I wondered and thought, hmmmmmm and then she was telling me how you mix all the flour, pinch of salt and so forth and then I knew she meant from scratch, not a strap! She is a trip though, has been around now for about 14 years, does any and everything I want, including the grass if need be!
Yes, I married one, and he's from NY. Go figure! LOL

Still trying to figure out what woodpeckers
you have - one is probably the red-bellied because it has red head but because there was already a red-headed they named it because of a little blush of pink on its belly - it is big - looks more like a flicker. Do you have a pileated - with a red crest on top? I have red-belly, downy, and yellow-belly which I have to chase away because it makes holes in my Crimson King Maple.
hospital ~ go figure!
I have it in my Expander to autocorrect.
How hard is it to figure out whether
the doc is saying the first or last name. Some people will complain about anything.
well I figure if I don't teach them sm
they won't get it when they have to get out in the real world. If they are not going to school and want to live with you why should you pay all their bills?
BTW, what I did was put half of what they gave me away and when they left home I had a nice little nest egg to give back to them to get them started. But they didn't know I was doing that until the time came for them to move out.
In this economy it is very expensive to pay for everyones groceries, laundry soap, etc. I think its a disservice not to require something. Maybe not half or even a quarter, but something! I don't want anyone to wind up like my niece at 45 with no responsibility at all and living off her widowed mother and her fixed income while making 30 bucks an hour herself plus overtime and spending it as fast as she can. Oh yes this is also in the state with the worst economy in the nation..Michigan! But then I guess she thinks she is entitled.
Figure it has to be drugs of some sort.....

Give me a ballpark figure on
your pay per week as to whether it is better in the long run.
How do you figure leasing is less expensive?
I've tried doing the math on that several times when we were going in to buy a car, but I never see it as being a saving. If I plan to keep a car for as long as it's useful and relatively trouble-free, leasing makes no sense. If I pay off a car in 3 years, or even 5 years, I could drive it for another 10 years and not have any car payments. But if I continuously lease new cars, I'll always have a car payment. The years w/o payments are money straight in the bank for me. I could see it being cheaper if you plan to buy a new car every couple of years, but I plan to drive my cars until they sputter, cough and die.
Incidentally, I just looked at a camry hybrid today. time to replace a puffing 12 year old car with 189,000 miles on it. I like it. Not sure the gas savings will outweigh that sticker price, tho. wow!
Any father figure who can lay the smack down?
You're the mother, it's your nature to protect, but somebody needs to protect you in this situation as well. I have no advice at all...I've never been through something like that, and can't even begin to imagine what it's like to be in your shoes.
She really needs an intervention or something...too bad she has frigged up her life so bad that not even the military would take her. That's the only think I can think of that would strip a person down to their core and rebuild them up bit by bit all new like without costing a small fortune that the private "reform" places do. She is 19 though, a legal adult. Maybe a one-way bus ticket, some cash, a peck on the cheek, a "you are the weakest link--goodbye."
I have a dalek action figure!
and a box of Jelly Babies from around 1983 my mother bought from PBS! I absolutely ADORE the new Dr. Who series and Torchwood...but I get it off BBC3 and it's all unedited and just freakin' awesome!!
Figure skating outfits
 My oldest daughter has just begun to take figure skating lessons. Anyone have those outfits for warmups that they no longer need? The ones available on ebay mostly ship from China. Thanks!!! Any information on where else to find them would really be helpful!
ballpark figure just for extractions....sm
I've got a quote right in front of me from an oral surgeon.....all upper teeth plus two lowers including general anesthesia....$2863.000!!!!!....On estimate insurance would cover about $1900.00, but that wasn't guaranteed.....It was suggested by both the dentist and oral surgeon that I wait to have the dentures made about 3 months later for a good fit and after the swelling has gone down....reasoning for that is you have to have them realigned repeatedly at more cost and sometimes they'll never fit right.....Starting cost $450 on up to about $1000+....Good luck to you....I'm still trying to save up enough $$$. I've had root canals, crowns....thousands of dollars of great work done over the years, but now come to find out I have degenerative bone in my maxilla and they won't hold.
Yeah, and it took her 12 weeks to figure it out... boy - sm
If I was 16 and late more than a week I would have done a home pregnancy test then, not wait until I had missed at least 2 periods; then think about it for a week before telling anyone. I think she wanted to get pregnant and wanted to be far enough along before telling anyone so they wouldn't/couldn't push her to have an abortion. ----reminds me of my brother's best friend's girlfriend (now wife)----she was 5 months pregnant before she "discovered" she was pregnant, get this she was/is a nurse, and yes he married her, guess she figured he wasn't getting her to the alter fast enough. Need to ask my brother if they are still married (this was back in the late 80s)
Trying to figure out oatmeal calories
I used a cup of oatmeals, added 1 and 3/4 cups of water, a little skim milk and a teaspoon of sugar- I know other calories but have yet to figure out the calorie count on the oatmeal.
Sorry, I thought MTs were smart enough to figure it

Amen! We are just at a six-figure income..
but you would never know it by our lifestyle. We don't need to impress anyone or put ourselves in debt for material things that depreciate the minute you walk out of store with it or drive it off the lot. Americans need to SAVE money, a concept that has been long lost through the generations.
If someone is young and has a great figure, they
