You both are wasting your time (sm)
To first poster, there is no way he will go unless he gets good and scared, or hate to say it, but passes out or something. The poster about the dentist, if it were my DH and I made the appt, he wouldn't care, he still wouldn't go, nor would he cancel the appt. I made an appt once for him to have a "growth" removed from his face, cause we had argued about it for months, and he told me he wasn't going, and he wasn't. So I canceled it, cause I didn't want to put the doctor out. I have no idea why they are so pig-headed. I used to get so upset - but it was a waste of time. The only way he finally ended up at the dentist was because his last 2 front teeth broke off and it was obvious, so then he went. I know how you feel.
I'm not really wasting time during the hours
that I am awake - it's just that right now I am having to work so many hours, almost all fun is squeezed out of my life. If I could sleep 4 hours a night, I could:
- always have the laundry caught up.
- always have my house clean.
- cook supper each and every night.
- keep my flowers weeded and watered.
- read at least a half an hour a day.
- spend time in devotions and meditation and prayer.
- exercise.
If I could accomplish these things throughout the week, then I could have each and every weekend FREE! I feel like I could gain my life back if I could somehow figure out this sleep thing.
Thanks everybody for your input. 
I have a Tracfone and don't like wasting my minutes....
I have one of the original TracFones and my fingers are too fat to text. The keys are too close together, so I don't bother with texting. LOL.
That would be why I would need a full keyboard if I were to ever get a lap top. LOL.
*time wasting* ?? Not fair statement
yeah well it's only wasting money when you lose
a deal when you could win millions. I can give up a few cups of coffee or something else rather than my lottery tickets!!
yep, regret marriage. been in it way too long to be unhappy and wasting life. nm

Thank you for the breath of fresh air
and the very nice comment to both of us. We really have hurt no one and have found someone who mutually shares the love of animals, as I am sure so many of you do. I spoke just last week to a lovely MT who has a little Pekinese named Sophie. We had a great conversation about that. With an elderly very ill parent this board has given me something to focus on and relieve some fear and tension. Thanks again. You comments are truly appreciated.
me too! breath of fresh air.
except for maybe the typo-gestapo. but even that has faded.
BREATH OF FRESH AIR
I think MTStars is Breath of Fresh Air after change in administration. This thread is staying on board is proof of it. MTStars was personal forum rather public board beofre.
I was sick of HER, deleting every other thread and banning those who expressed their opinions that wasn't acceptable for her.
First, take a deep breath - sm
Yes, the school should have called you, but they did not and you cannot control the actions of others, just your own. You also cannot control whether the other mom calls you to apologize. Should she have? Sure, but again, what you do is NOT necessarily what someone else would do. Set a good example for your son and let him see this for what it is - a small incident in the big scheme of things. He will likely not even remember this in a few months unless you harp on it endlessly. I would definitely let the school know about my displeasure at the events of today, but after that just let it go. These things happen. You cannot protect your son from life.
Yep. Normal. Just take a deep breath and
They'll probably make peace in a few short years (when you're old and grey-headed and senile, lol)!
:)
Oh yes, so nice this morning to breath
in that crisp cool air. Glad that awful HUMIDITY is gone, and hopefully won't be back until next year. I enjoy this time of year too. Have to get my McIntosh apple candles a burning. Getting ready to decorate my front porch for the fall this weekend with mums. What part of the Northeast are you from? NJ here.
Talk about having the breath knocked out of you,
to have your child tell you something like this is devistating. I never let her sleep around, tried talking, telling her about things going on with a disease you could not get rid of. A parent can only do so much. I had started typing on this disease before it had a name, before anyone knew what was going on- early 80s and the reports were horrible, bleeding from every orifice, Kaposis, the Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, everything and then your child tells you that? Almost more than a parent can hear. That was in 1992. She has since married and so far, so good, thrived but the least little anything sends me more into a tizzy than it does her because like I said, I used to type 1 after another report day after day. She is in her 30s now and I try not to hover but she is still my daughter. When first diagnosed I could not even talk about it without crying. Bought loads of sweeets and fattened her up as well as myself - heard about failure to thrive and not really thinking, that was what I was doing. I tried talking, I really tried- I do not blame myself nor do I have guilt feelings because I could not have talked more.
Mine's 43...don't hold your breath ;-) nm

Are you ready to be brave? Take a deep breath...
Then do it and close your eyes real tight and be glad the minute you have done it (calling to have him picked up for psych eval) Then once you have him out of the house you can keep him out with a court order. Your life will improve. Are you Ready???? Be BRAVE! I was!!!
Any side effects? Odors? Bad breath? Diarrhea? etc. nm

I asked a very simple gift for Mother's Day, should have saved my breath
I was going to visit my aunt out of town this weekend and my daughter wanted to go with me. The only thing I asked for Mother's Day was that my daughter behave (she is in her 30s understand) but what I meant was getting along, if I should say anything she might not like to smile and say yes. I just wanted a little peace and quiet but I wasted my breath. She said she felt like she always had to walk on eggshells around me. I told her she does not know me at all, never has and I don’t think she cares about me at all. I have been asked loads of time if she is an only child. She is not but that should tell you what others think, just a me type person. I paid for everything, the gas, the motel, the food, everything and thought I could ask for something that she would not have to spend money on. I am thinking seriously about throwing in the towel on her, just giving up. I am too old to fool with her me type stuff any longer, I really have been thinking about doing just that. A simple request, not 1 that I could not pull off if my mother had asked me to do. The last thing before we got home, I wanted to stop at 1 of my favorite pizza places, get a pizza, we could have called before getting home, could have been ready (left out earlier coming home) and she just wanted to grab something quick, so we got a hamburger. I really do not like her and I am sad because I would like to. It has been impossible for me to really love her like I should.
Take a deep, deep breath...sm
and slowly exhale. Phoooooooo. Feel a little better? You may have been venting, but you still kept your sense of humor. I do sympathize, though. My brother did not think he needed pain meds after his vision-correction surgery. I kept telling him the anesthetic would wear off. I picked up his meds without him knowing. He was so grateful later that night. Chalk one up for little sis. BTW, I hope your hubby gets better soon.
