I find the writing fantastic.

In Reply to: Same here, I actually thought they were kids' books - sm
I get very annoyed with writers who have no writing skills. My hubby insisted I read a book a while back that was getting all these raves - the one they made a movie with Tom Hanks, and it was all about art and Rome and theories about Biblical history - I can't remember the name. That writer needs to walk the plank IMO. After one chapter I was livid that anybody would publish such a horrible writer, LOL. His vocabularly consists of about 100 words, for one thing.

That is so fantastic!!!!
Great way to live.
Fantastic
Don't beat yourself up over what you think you should have done. When we find ourselves in these types of situations, we just don't know how to react. After you take time to talk to others and think about what happened, then you can form a game plan. Reporting them today was wonderful! I hope they catch them. It sure does sound suspicious.
But you did the right thing. Don't be too hard on yourself. They are the [potential] criminals, you are not. You have nothing to feel guilty about. You did a very good thing. :-)
Yes, can't get enough. Fantastic!!

Wow ... that's fantastic news!
I'm very happy for you.
Have a fantastic time
I have Monday-Wednesday off. Just complete relaxation and taking my daughter to a Matchbox 20 concert on Tuesday night at a casino about an hour away from the house.
Okay, here's a fantastic website for you...sm
Here you'll find all the articles:
http://www.dogtrainingbasics.com/articles.htm
But here is the specific article on potty training:
http://www.dogtrainingbasics.com/PottyTraining.htm
I don't know this trainer, but it looks to me like she's been very generous with her knowledge in writing all these articles and making them available for free on her website.
I wish you the best of luck with your puppy. Please let us know how it goes! ;o) BTW, what is her name?
You never ever put anything in writing
that you would not want others to see. Now with the children being totally out of control, the school is probably being proactive in the discipline of this child- she surely is not being taught much from her home. I think the school probably is doing the right thing, maybe the child will not be so apt to post bad remarks about the next person.
Get everything in writing. sm
Any challenge of the validity of the debt must be in writing. Send it certified. Did you receive anything in writing from them? By law they must send something in writing 5 days after the first phone call. If they do happen to sue, show up in court or they will get a default judgment. You can, however, ask for validation even in court. Go to that website I gave you. You will find tons of information about your rights in dealing with collection agencies. http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/
Writing
I used to write all the time; my main focus was on poems/lyrics...I miss writing so much, I haven't done it in a few years because I have MS and I guess I have sort of given up yet the words are still inside; just a bit more difficult to get them out. I miss it so much - any tips you could offer me...I still have my MT gig but that gets a little hard too but i am still trying...
EVERYTHING in writing.
Start a journal & in it document every sniffle, every cough, every trip to the doctor or the pharmacy, every sleepless night, every lost hour of work, time & date & duration of mold smell. Requests to fix the problem have to be in writing. Mail them certified & get receipts. Conversations with the landlord: After they happen, write down word for word what was said, time, date.
If you have to resort to legal action to break the lease, you MUST have everything in writing. I suggest you get a book on tenant rights from Nolo Press or visit a lawyer NOW so that s/he can help you plan this out.
fantastic shake ideas
I have a membership with Melaleuca and their meal replacement/shakes are fantastic, and I have many other different recipes that can be used with them. They have the meal replacement/shake mixes, as well as a full range of vitamins/supplements that are excellent, and protein bars and drinks. I can honestly say I have taken vitamins for years and never felt any different. When I started on these vitamins, I could feel it within two days. When stopped when having surgery, and restarted again, again could feel the difference, so will not take anything else. To get filled up, you need to eat protein. This will fill you, but also prevent hair loss which happens when you cut back the calories. I eat a scrambled egg every morning with shredded cheese and a sausage. Lunch is generally a small chef salad with Ranch dressing. Supper is usually 3-4 ounces of meat and some vegetables. I keep sugar free popsicles and fudgsicles and I have a great recipe for a frozen yogurt that I like for a treat, as well as mixed nuts - those are the snack fun things. Hope these ideas help you.
Only so-so, after all the hype. Get Volver instead. fantastic.

Agree!!! Fantastic movie!!

I echo what others have said. This is a fantastic time
in your life! The 40s are the time when you can really begin to focus on you. I'm more active and have more time for myself now. You will to!
Enjoy your day. Enjoy your life!
Wolfgang Puck, fantastic! sm
Best cookware I ever bought. Very thick bottoms, cook evenly. Lids interchangeable. I bought a set for about $125 on HSN. Great deal. I love his cookware, designed by a chef, for cooks. And they seem to stay shiny forever, no matter what I do to them.
Fantastic! What a wonderful program that is. -nm
That's fantastic! It's Appalachian Trail BTW
I'm not being a spelling officer, I just wanted to clarify the name of the trail. I'm an avid Appalachian Trail hiker. (AT for short.) I've been hiking sections of the trail since I was 18, and will be doing a 100-mile section hike in Virginia this year. I'm 46 and plan to continue hiking this great trail for as long as I can put one foot in front of the other!
Sounds like a fantastic idea to me! nm
The writing is on the wall, so to speak
You make a difference in the g'parents- your children are picking up on this. I had a similar thing going on with my son- my mother did all the loving, fun things he wanted- my father (they were divorced, each remarried) was strict, no fun to be around, hardworking but I believed in their being able to share and I did. Both are deceased now and I do not regret having him spend as much time with 1 as the other. Oh, BTW, one of my most enjoyable things as a child was when I spent time with my father and his wife- they had a small garden and I absolutely loved to dig up the potatoes- used to beg to get to do it. You should have a good talk with everyone and insist spending time with all- don’t let your feelings play into their hesitancy on going. Grandparents are not always right but she wants to have some time with them. Not all g'parents want to be bothered with kids, believe it or not.
I believe I was talking about the style of your writing.
Stay on task, please.
Well, writing this after the episode was shown.
Doubt we will see Callie and McSteamy but Merideth better get over that thing she has not dealing with her life with mom or she may lose her man. Drives me nuts, let it go already, get over it, move on. Liking the new doc Yang has her eyes on more every episode. Gosh, we all sound like this is really a functional and actual hospital setting;-)
Read up on writing etiquette. It is yelling.
It comes across as hateful
Letter or card writing to Iraq sm
Get an address for someone in Iraq and have them all write a letter or draw a picture for them.. All it will cost you is to buy some paper & envelopes and provide a stamp, won't cost much more for material than most projects. There was an address on here and perhaps she will e-mail you. My brother never forgot that my son's class did this for him. At that time the postage was free, not so with this president, I assume. I put postage in mine to Iraq, didn't ask.Dont know what the postage is today - it should be free but I seriously doubt it.Perhaps some parents would donate stamps as well.
The company writing the 1099 reports that
They have to report the 1099s they distribute.
I personally have great disdain for tax evaders, which is what you are if you don't report your income.
I pay my taxes and report all of my income fairly and accurately. Those who don't are commiting a criminal act against me as a taxpayer and against the government.
Sending your 1099 in a black envelope would be a protective measure, prevening others from easily viewing information through the envelope. Not quite as underhanded as you seem to want to believe. :)
Check-writing doesn't bother me
so much as the little old ladies with their frail eyesight and arthritic hands, bless their hearts, digging in their coin purses for the exact change. It's too bad I'm in such a hurry I can't just admire their independence.
Went to see one in Mt. Juliet, TN. She was fantastic, told me I was moving (no plans at that time),
marriage would last--missed that 1 by 2 years, but pretty close. She hit my girlfriend exactly - initials of BF, etc.
Dog killing and mayor involved in letter writing
I am really in a twizzy this morning. Shirley Franklin, city of Atlanta mayor, wrote a letter to the judge involved in the Michael Vick dog fighting/killing asking for leniency as, how she put it, Vick had done a lot for the community and helped folks out. Phooey!!! I hope personally he never is able to return to the Falcons or any other football team. I think whatever he was able to accomplish was blown by the fact that he participated in the killing of dogs. How inhumane is that? I hope PETA gets out and strikes each and every time (if he is rehired by any jackoffs) he is supposed to be playing. Came from the ghetto and I suppose the thug still in him. What a shame. Never made a million in my life and he made mega millions and then threw it all away for ??? I am vexed by her doing such a deed and will send letter stating my feelings.
bull, he was not too drunk he has a girlfriend. See the writing on the wall. nm

Find a lawyer, find out where you would stand - sm
in the event of a divorce/separation, regarding custody, house, etc. Custody was my main concern as well since I lied on numerous occasions about the finances. Where I am I was told that would not factor in to the custody at all. I can prove that I am my kids caregiver 90% of the time, I ferry they around everywhere, help with homework, get ready for school, meet at busstop, etc. I could also point out my husband is an alcoholic, self treats his depression with alcohol instead of getting proper medical treatment, has threatend to kill himself (or me) numerous times (though he always says he was joking and did not mean it.....that is his standard answer to everything, or that he never said that). Now I do love him enough to deal with all that because deep down inside my DH is full of it, luckily for me, he has never followed through on anything he says he is going to do. But I thought my confession would be the straw that broke it all and send him over the edge. He still is angry with me, I am sure he will be for a long time, but is keeping it together pretty well, though he has said the stress was going to kill him, now he know how I felt I guess. I am sorry your husband is such a smuck. I feel like a dog sometimes with the sex demands, have to do it the night before he goes out of town....he will be traveling a lot for work for the next 3-4 months, which I am more than glad about, much calmer here then, though it gets tiring for me but as he is not really helping much right now it really won't be much of a change. As for yours going on 5 day weekends.....have you considered having him followed, sounds like there may be some infidelity afoot, and if so that would strengthen your case in the event of a divorce and custody I would think. Sounds a bit fishy going out until 1 a.m. and his frequent trips. My DH fishes too, but he goes 2 miles from here with one of our male neighbors, they shoot the breeze and he gets to unwind some which I encourage. Very rare weekends with a buddy of his, I am talking once every 2 years, which again is fine with me. Start keeping track of all you do, when he is home, where he supposedly goes, with whom, etc. He cannot show he will be a responsible dad if he is never there or never interacts with his own kids. My DH would probably suggest I take our older daughter and he the younger, spliting them up, he has the same perception, the oldest is mine, the youngest is his. Our younger daughter is much easier to deal with, our older daughter drives him nuts and she is only 10. My younger one (8) knows something has been going one though, and worries we will divorce, which she does not want. She is very perceptive for her years. I hope that if you do go the divorce route, which would actually probably be best in your situation, that it all works out for you and you get your fair share of assets, etc. Make sure before you do anything like that you have all your ducks in a row, so talk to divorce lawyer. I talked to one for 45 minutes, cost me $160 but was worth it to set my mind at ease. Good luck.
I got a great job writing/editing for a publication through my editing skills as MT. nm

Please let us know if you find it...nm
Insert smiley face with crossed fingers here.
How do I find out
where this person has his banking account? I cannot believe a person would just snub their nose at a court action. Had it been the other way around, I am sure I would probably be under the jail as we speak!!
i find that
exercising daily helps and stretching REALLY REALLY helps. sometimes my entire back feels as if i have been beat with a baseball bat. it is hard for anyone to understand unless they have the same condition. also, not eating sugar helps me, especially my joints. i take ibuprofen when i cannot stand it any more and then i take 600 to 800 mg every 3 hours for a couple days. that eases the pain. i do not take any other pain medication.
good luck to you and may you have more and more pain-free days.
cannot find this
Can you possibly e-mail with the info, I cannot access it as given for some reason. Thanks
What will they do when they find out
I would like to think he could find something
nm
Only way to find out if he is just not that into you.
x
Just find somebody else, have
the work done, and then send her the pictures of how beautiful it all turned out.
Be sure to tell her you paid a little more with this company, but it was worth it because they were so professional and quick with their service, but she was no "nice" and took such an "interest" in your welfare that you wanted to show her how nicely the project turned out. :oD
When you find out how to
make $$$$ being a beach bum, please let me know!!!!
Can't find that either!
Someone tell me, too. They said it is above where we post.. not seeing it. Sorry. . I'm havin' a bad one!
Hopefully that find the guy but at least..
they found that little girl and got her out of there.
If possible, see if you can find where she's going - sm
outside. Maybe she prefers that material to what's in the litter box. If she prefers dirt, you might try using that in the litter box to see if she'll start using it again. Then if she does, over time you could very gradually add litter to the dirt until it's 100% litter again. You might also try gradually adding kitty litter to the dirt outside where she's going as well, to help speed the transition along. Might not work but then again, who knows? It just might.
The other thing is, it takes a LOT to get the cat-urine smell out of the rug. Cats can smell much more keenly than we can, and it has to be 100% removed. Not easy. Don't use any household cleaners with ammonia in them, that'll just attract her. After thorough scrubbing, you might try something like "Nature's Miracle" to remove the rest of the odor. You could also try putting a small, inexpensive area-rug over that area, just to be SURE she can't smell it. Or even something like that indoor-outdoor fake grass stuff used for wiping your feet on...or anything else a cat might not want to walk on.
If your kitty's an indoor/outdoor kitty, maybe installing a small cat-door might help solve the problem?
One of mine (indoor-only) is the Queen of litterbox avoidance. Never used the rug, but is attracted to linoleum. I started out her rehab by caging her & "crate-training" her like a puppy, and also purchased Dr. Elsey's "Cat-Attract" litter, which is pricey but helped quite a bit.
She finally started using her litter boxes (she has THREE...), but is still inexplicably drawn to linoleum. Luckily there's not much of it in this apt., so I took temptation out of her reach by putting up pet-gates in front of the bathroom (real fun to trip over in the middle of the night, but heck - it works!), and also blocking off the kitchen (where I, as a non-cook, rarely go, anyway.)
The most important thing is to get creative, and to not give up.
This is the only pic I could find
of me in a dress, for comparison. Of course this was 21 years ago, and my hair was different in this picture, but I still think it shows the difference I'm talking about.
If you find any, let me know
I'm 25 and make more money than average college students. I just applied two places for a student loan and was denied. My credit isn't great (some medical bills on there that were past due but have now been paid), but it's not horrible either. My mother's credit is currently worse than mine, so having her cosign would do me no good. I really think companies are making it more difficult to get these loans (as I got one last year when my credit was worse and I made less money). So, I'm stuck trying to work as much as possible to pay for books and tuition myself. No fun. I wish you the best of luck, I know it's tough. I know when I was younger I couldn't get grants because my parents made too much money. Now that they don't include my parents in the calculation, they say I make too much money.
Sorry I don't have great advice! All I can say is research scholarships and apply for them like crazy!!
he may find his own way out, but
just in case you ever run across a poisonous snake and manage to cut his head off, do not reach toward it. There is a "heat sink" reflex and the darn thing can still bite you.
Trying to find someone...
When I first started MTing earlier this year I had corresponded with an MT named Deb out of Florida. We became friends but she had to deal with some personal stuff and in the interim we lost touch. I'm just wondering if anyone knows who I'm talking about? I'm really concerned and would like to know she is okay!
first find out what you
25 years ago is a long time. I would be very clear about what I wanted before I mentioned it. If you want to apologize to your sisters that is one thing, but if you want him to that is another.....
I also find myself
I think boys just have enormous skulls that are still growing and their jaws and necks are turning into men's jaws and necks also. Just make sure he is wearing his retainer! The wisdom teeth will soon be causeing more trouble!
