In Reply to: Male menopause - just me
Sometimes I feel like I'm about to scream. Luckily I'm not in as bad situation as OldMT (you poor thing) and he's not as grumpy as what sm wrote (you poor thing too). He's not grumpy, and he laughs a lot and emotionally he's fine, but I guess I would call it indecisive in not knowing what he wants to do with his life. He comes out about every 3 - 4 hours to discuss with me what he wants to do. This is like 6 or 7 times a day. This is every single day. No lie - honest to goodness truth every single bleeping day. Maybe once or twice a week there's a break. He isn't working. Quit his job about 6 years ago (absolutely hated it) and has not found what he wants to do "when he grows up". He'll come out and tell me he wants to do this. Then 3 hours later tells me something different, then about 2 hours later is something different, 3 hours later it's back to the first idea he had, etc, etc, etc. He asks me what I think and I give him my honest opinion (in a very upbeat and light and positive way) and as we're disccusing this and I'm finished talking he answers me and is talking about something totally different than what we were just discussing (he's back to talking about what he was thinking about the last time he came out). I feel like I'm losing my mind. One time he told me an idea he was thinking about and I told him it would be good but I could see some down sides to it. I then got "blasted" by him for about an hour telling me how negative I was and how is he ever supposed to find something he wants to do if I'm so negative. He's talked about wanting to go back to school to learn a trade but we don't have the money for him to do that and thanks to the way the country is going, what he used to do is not around anymore.
BTW - For all those who will just blast me with "just tell him this or just tell him that), you cannot just tell your DH to quit whining and get a job - does not work. :-)
Anyway...just wondered if this is male menopause he's going through and how much longer its going to last. I haven't even started my menopause yet and I would at least like him to be through his before I go through mine (that will not be a pretty sight). :-)

How bout this
Went to drive in with guy (okay do drive-ins date me?). Went to bathroom as I'm getting back into car and my friend and her boyfriend who were there also are signalling wildly for me no, no, no. I look at them weird, open door sit down to find I'm sitting on some girls lap. I yell at him "What did you do go get another girl while I'm in the bathroom". Look over and realize it wasn't my boyfriend Danny.
Huh, Britney, sorry bout that
NM
My dad and I were just talking bout this
My grandmother is from PRico - when she came her her older sister took her in and made her learn english before anything else. My grandfather came from Canada and he had to learn english from his family. On another note...I keep getting my phone bills in spanish. Not half english/half spanish - ALL spanish. I've called the compnay many times and said I can't read the date its due and anything. They apologized but never fixed the problem. Also, I have been getting literture from them and that is also in spanish. They also answer the phone in spanish and I have to ask if they speak English (makes me feel like a foreigner in my own country). I have solved the problem though and switched my phone company. I'm now with a company that my bills will be coming in english. I just can't understand it(well I do understand, I just don't agree).
Vet does not work alone. How bout a big fruit

How bout "Izzy Onna?" nm
I see your point and agree - how bout this though
Maybe what I should have said was that maybe the mother should have told her daughter that if she is in the ER she should not be playing with her Game Boy, talking on the phone, and laughing and joking with the mom, and she should have at least "acted" as though she was sick. I think that's the point I was trying to make but it didn't come out right. I certainly do understand about people needing the ER for reasons (lousy day care, etc). Just for pitty's sake if your taking your daughter to the ER tell her to pretend she is sick and not play, laugh and talk on the cell phone.
You are correct - sorry bout the type
I always thought it was riddens. Guess I said it that way so much I thought it was that.
Too much - how bout once every half hour or so
Drives me insane, although things have gotten so bad here were we live (crime wise) and peoples home are being broken into while they sleep so I sleep at night and he sleeps in the day/afternoon. But when he is awake he comes out of his room every half hour or so to tell me the latest in news/events. It drives me absolutely crazy.
But it's better than it used to be. However, I do love my time when he's sleeping.
How bout Drs. Cox and Grant? Sounds like a cough syrup.

Well, it's gotten cold enough to burn the fireplace. I'm in northern AZ. How bout you?

He just got over a bad bout with bronchitis so that is why he stayed home. Dad always takes sm
both of them, but to be quite frank, that is no one elses business and not the root cause of his behavior. Thank you.
I think they'll FINALLY send Sanjaya home. Bout time. He should have
think they'll send Haley home.
Forgot,,,
some of the clubs listed above might have closed. Did not see them on Club Meds site. Profits?? The one I loved best was Mexico at Playa Blanca- out in the middle of nowhere and an oasis. I think you can get more for your buck now days.
Forgot, forgot
The water at Ixtapa was nasty!! That is on the Pacific side I believe probaby just at the border, too so long to get there. The Cancun water is absolutely gorgeous and what is strange, the weather can be 110 and yet the sand is not hot!! All my trips were out of the country so could not tell you about the ones here in the country. My children and/or daughter and I usually went for 2 weeks at a time. My daughter returned to Mexico this past summer (I went to Alaska) and she went to a place called Blue Bay, all inclusive but I believe might have been a bit raunchy for my taste.
forgot to add...LOL nm

Forgot..
This was on the nighttime ABCnews.
But, forgot to say,
what about someone with multiple sclerosis? Thanks.
Oh, forgot this
When I first went there husband had made approximate width, depth so I could get ballpark figure (later when measured was really low) but was told then she would lose money on me because of my needs being small but would make it up on other customers. I had twice as much when they actually measured and the guy who measured said really mine little above average house.
Forgot to add . . .
I hope the owners get prosecuted and put in jail or at the very least, fined.
Forgot to add
This was my aunt that called and yelled at me (my cousins' mom)She said that they are not speaking to me because I am a jerk and a jacka$$.
Sorry, I forgot this, Me2!
You asked about Tyne's party attire. She was just in her gorgeous little suit that nature gave her, the tri-colored short-haired little coat with dainty feet, her large brown eyes and her beautiful, larger than proportionate ears and big eyes. She was enjoying being the center of attention! 
JustDogs at the mall has those darling little outfits, but mom said she would never wear one. At Halloween I usually give a party (OMG, bats, Halloween, etc.) and dresed her up last year (we had the party at mom's) in a little devil suit. She kept it on for a little while, but then I took it off. She looked adorable with the horns on!!
I saw some little slippers in a magazine for dogs. They had duck slippers and lamb slippers! It was all I could do not to order four!!! Mom said she would just take them off! They sure were cute! There was a picture of a Boxer wearing a rain coat that was just too cute for words!
Talk to you later!
Forgot to add
My MIL lives in the same city and we hardly ever see her. When I told her and my FIL that I was pregnant for her their comment, it's just another present to buy for Christmas. I'll take your mother over them any day.
Oh, forgot to say
the hospital did payroll
deductions every 2 weeks on the hospital bill including 2 different surgeries.
I forgot one...
When I was little, I was scared to death of The Lost Boys. My brother used to try to make me watch it - I made it through one time and then after that I cried hysterically every time it was on TV. I was also terrified of the Thriller video! I'm not really scared of the psycho killer movies, it's more the ghosts and vampires and supernatural.
Forgot to add
my father is retired military, so we are USAA members and I think I've seen the discounts for Sprint services offered through them. Thanks for reminding me about that! Love USAA!!

When she broke up with a prior boyfriend of 1-1/2 years, she was upset for about a week and then was over it. Just give him time. And cookies.
Forgot to ask though sm
What if you want to do stuffing?
forgot
My son went to NYC at age 19; first job with airlines based out of Kennedy. I was scared to death for him. He did fine. I went to visit a year later - we had a wonderful time.
P.S. - I forgot to say
I wouldn't assume he did it. Believe it or not someone got ahold of my cell phone once and charged on it. It doesn't happen that often, but in today's day and age with all these hackers out there its better to inquire than assume and feel awful afterwards.
Sorry - I forgot to add this
I'm sorry I forgot to add that as I was reading the email and looking at the pic I wondered why in the world would sending an email of a so-called ghost standing next to a boy who died bring good luck? Gotta make you wonder.
On another note I did find an interesting article regarding chain letters. Here is the link.

sorry i forgot to say
this all started Saturday, that's why i'm worried. he still has a deep congested cough but now won't eat and only will sip water. :(
forgot to add - sm
She apparently had been taking cabs to and from the neighboring town, when she was only given permission to "hang out" in the town we live in. She would take the cabs to either get home by curfew or to the location that I had agreed to pick her up at. She would even walk around alone at night at times, unbeknownst to me. She has made some new friends that I don't know in this town and now wants to go there all the time. I am not comfortable with that at all. She basically feels entitled to do what she wants when she wants.
Forgot to add...
just in case it is unclear...the purpose of the packed suitcase is if he has another episode, all I have to do is zip up the suitcase and we are off to the foster care intake office.
Yes...I would really do it. If things get to that point, I would allow him to remain in foster care for a few months before starting the paperwork to get him back. We live in Georgia. They told me that it could take from 1 to 6 weeks to get him back, but that I would be able to get him back if I wanted to.
I forgot to add
I did ask him one time what solutions do these places have to offer. "None" was the answer. I said exactly. I said I can't listen to anyone who is going to get everyone in a panic over things that are going on but not give any solutions. That's what I don't like about any of the talk shows. They get people in an uproar and living in fear but they don't offer anything. But as they say "that goes on deaf ears"
I forgot one...
Chewing gum. I think it should be outlawed!
BTW: Sorry I forgot to say
xx
oh I forgot!
HE ALSO WENT TO PRISON FOR BEING A CHILD MOLESTER!
Forgot to add THIS
Wish I could adopt her!
Forgot to add
We also have a pool so we spend a lot of time outside swimming and having cookouts and bonfires with the neighbors.
Forgot to ask
Would you mind giving us the stats on your baby (name, weight, length, time born)? Funny how women usually like to hear all that. : )
Once she starts to be a little more aware and you can really see her connecting with you, it will be more rewarding.
sorry, forgot
here's one with good info.

Yep. I forgot about that
They don't like citrus. Orange peels or lemon peels or even some sort of essence. I used to work with a girl who said she put lemon juice on her plant leavevs and her kitten never touched them. You can also get something called Bitter Apple that is supposed to be a good cat deterrent, but I've never tried it.
You forgot the HOO after your BOO.
She sat for two months accepting lousy paychecks. She knew it wasn't getting any better. She could not pay her bills and now here's the eviction notice.
Wonder of wonders!!!
I have been waaaay down and out. You don't have a clue. Picking myself up and moving on worked for me.
I don't get it. Because I said pick yourself up and move on and get a job, it is terrible?
No wonder our country is in the state it's in.
Feeling sorry for yourself is healthy and helps?
Picking yourself up is a terrible thing to do?
For the love of!!!
I forgot to add - my daughter's cat
also has seizures and the vet put her on Valium. She has only had one since starting on it. She takes half a tablet twice a day. She is in a very, very good mood now also. She is so funny to watch. She is so relaxed, fat, and happy on those pills.
Oh, forgot to mention....
there was absolutely no need for prepainting, Kiltz or anything. The job turned out really good and neither 1 professional. All you have to do is buy white indoor paint or whatever color you want.
Oh, forgot, much more dignified than
keeping beer stocked in my home. Sorry...
Oops, forgot
never was on hormones, had decided years ago not to take, was admonished by one physician in time past I should, so glad I didn't. As I knew, say in the 70s, hormones had some bad press in relation to cancer.
forgot to mention--sm
if you go to rembrandt's website, you can view Griffin House video of *Waterfall*, plus hear some others of his music. In case anyone else wants to hear what I am so excited about. he he.
ah forgot about the yogurt !
I read somewhere that puppies sometimes don't have enough of some enzyme in their digestive tracts to ward off certain bacteria and you are right, yogurt will build that bacteria back up and help the body naturally fight off certain bacterias. Great advice.
Forgot to tell you, have brothers and 1 gay
and the other not. I still love them, they are my children but 1 really has to, shall I say, watch his back??
