wow. this does not sound good. If sounds like they are looking to liquidate what ever assets you do have then, which would really suck. this part, I know nothing about, so I cannot really comment. I know that when I filed bankruptcy against an old student loan I had outstanding for 10 years, it did go on my husband's credit, as well, simply because we were married. It was one of the worst moves we ever made, even though it was against me personally, it affected both of our credit when it came to wanting to purchase a house, a vehicle, or anything on credit. It lasted for over 10 years, and I had to have it removed from all three credit reporting agencies, as removing it from only one does not remove it from all. I understand the interest rates though, which was the reason why I stopped trying to pay back my student loan. It was 98 percent interest on a 5000.00 loan. They were trying to force me to get the money from some other lending institution, parents, friends, anything, just so they got their money and I had a somewhat lower interest rate. It did not work that way though, because with the bankruptcy against me, I could not get a loan anywhere else either. It was a vicious circle. I got rid of my husband, who was draining every last cent we had on useless stuff he wanted, and I am financially solvent again, making a good annual income and debt free! It is a great feeling, and I no longer have any credit cards. I still wish you luck, but it sure does not sound good.

You misunderstood my post...
If it were me, I'd explain to my son that we/he should return the prize to the office and give another kid a chance to win it. Making a profit, be it you or your son, is in my opinion, just wrong. This is an excellent opportunity to teach your son to share his good fortune...of course, this is how I'd handle the situation...to each her own I guess.
I think you misunderstood her post
She said have you ever done without AS a child? not done without a child. I think the point she's trying to make is that these children need to be taken care of regardless of the mother's actions that brought them into this world. I'm sure you would agree that no child should ever do without the basic necessities of life.
Now how you go about obtaining these necessities is where some might disagree. Should the state step in and abort the mother's custodial rights, placing these children into the foster care system? Or should the mother be given ample means to provide for the children? This is where the disagreement is. No one is arguing that these children shouldn't be taken care of. Unfortunately, I don't think the mother is going to lose her parental rights, and I do think that she will gain monetarily from these babies and not use it for their well-being, but rather her own selfish needs. She has already proven how selfish she is.
Oops think you misunderstood my post
Im actually talking bout the owner of the company that sends the contractors, not the landlords husband and wife. The landlords are very upset as well. The pool is an above ground that we purchased, so yes it is our property, so is the water they use out of the faucets because we pay the water bill and we also pay to have our landscaping done, so we have to pick up the trash and the cig butts. Hopefully this will be over soon. I think I really just have to clean up their mess and just not stress! Recently, we had some people over a few times that let their children have the run of our home. I went to the store to get some more hamburg for the grill and came back to find their children 5, 7 had been in our bedroom when our door was closed. The husbands were outside of course! LOL They also broke things in our yard, our other children's toys, smashed jellybeans into our carpets, snuck drinks upstairs spilling on our white carpets and not telling...so basically, my husband said last night that I should relate this situation to that one and realize these people have no manners or class, clean up after them and let it go. I think this was well said! Thanks for listening to me vent again!!!
I dont think I misunderstood your post at all??
I have been to both black and white funerals- my husband is black- I know what I observe in both sides-I know playing music, dancing, card playing, etc. is not what I have seen on my side. I never misunderstood your post- I could have never celebrated the death of my grandmother, never. Different people do things differently.
guess not. the post has been deleted. nm

I guess I answered my own post
The person posting above said Florida did not allow,something about all their capital punishment?? Whatever she meant by that. You are right, the poster is from Texas and I stated (without my knowing her state) I be willing to bet Texas did the whippings.
Sorry - guess I didn't read the whole post (sm)
I have driven to Florida by myself many times (about a 9 hour drive for me). I do have family there though. But I stayed in a hotel by myself while I was there and did the drive alone. I listen to my favorite music, talk on my cell phone (when I have service), etc. The drive is not bad at all. As far as the hotel room - I kind of adjust my brain and tell myself this time is all mine! I can eat whatever I want, go wherever I want, watch whatever I want. As long as you adjust your mind accordingly, it will be great! It really is a treat to be able to just make all the decisions yourself once in a while and not have to ask anyone else what they want.
I think you misunderstood
I am not saying SSRIs are not appropriate for some people, but they are over-prescribed and being used as a "catch-all" and there are more and more psychiatrists who are concerned about this. Family docs are also being pushed to prescribe them by insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies and honest ones will tell you that. If prescribed to bipolar people (30% of all people who see their family doctor for depression) they often will trigger hypomania and family doctors are not trained to identify it. They only help anxiety disorders 50% of the time, which leaves half of those who go for treatment without relief. Of course, SSRIs have their place, but too many diagnoses are getting glumped as anxiety/depression with SSRIs the fix-all.
In no way was I judging your condition or anyone's need for SSRIs, when appropriate.
I speak from not my opinion, but from an extensive psych background.
no, you misunderstood..I DO run my air...sm
but I turn it off to open up windows daily.....and when I turn the a/c back on....I still leave a window open in the bedrooms about 6-8 inches - so the stale air gets sucked out....*laughs*
Oh, I have to live with A/C but not 24/7/365.........and I prefer to open a window and *listen*.......it's a learning experience unto itself and one can *hear* things indicative of what I think are global warming changes.
I love South Florida mornings, always have....before the people hit the streets and before the traffic commences....before the world wakes up and becomes self-consumed in this big city.....
That's just me.......
Sorry if I misunderstood...sm
Okay, we're back to what I mentioned in my first couple of responses, except for one "physical" aspect re lubrication. This probably sounds perfectly idiotic, but a lot of people don't think about it, which is to make sure you're well hydrated. A good test is if your mouth frequently seems dry. Incidentally, dehydration is solved with water, not soft drinks, etc.
Also, douching can wreak havoc with vaginal moisture because the vagina "thinks" it's moist enough and stops producing its own.
Stress can also play a factor, and of course hormonal imbalances. Breast-feeding can also be involved, although it doesn't sound like a factor here.
Hope these might give you some ideas in that department, anyway.
I'm sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were
saying that over and over the vet didn't see him or work it up. Sorry - guess its late. Yes, one of my dogs went thru seizures, though the grand mal-type, and it was so horrible. I just absolutely went nuts with fear and horror when she would have them, but would just hold her and try to reassure her. I am with you - I would still be very worried and probably want a second look. I am not overly familiar with cocker spaniels, but seem to remember something dimly that maybe they are rather prone to seizures? My father-in-law had a tiny breed - can't remember either, but he had several thru his life, and nearly all had seizures. -- They -- say that the dogs aren't really in distress, so maybe that makes it better for us humans to think, right? Good luck and keep us posted.
PitBull's are misunderstood...
Instead of focusing narrowly on only your dislike of PitBulls, why don't you look at the bigger picture as a whole...
First of all, the statistics on "fatal attacks"...well it doesn't take a genius to realize that a big strong dog like a PitBull or a Rottweiler is going to do a heck of a lot more damage if it bites you then, for example, a Beagle or Chihuahua would. But that still doesn't mean PitBulls are more likely to bite...
The statistics that I have read regarding breed specific likelyhood of biting have shown that small dogs (and mixbreeds) are way more likely to be aggressive towards humans and other dogs. Specifically Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, and Jack Russell Terriers to name a few. PitBulls were more likely to show aggression to unfamiliar dogs. I've seen this info a few times, but the most recent website I found it on was here:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T48-4SNGRDR-2&_user=10&_coverDate=06%2F03%2F2008&_alid=765300851&_rdoc=2&_fmt=high&_orig=search&_cdi=4968&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_ct=27&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=a9e7d67a2a45dc01019b232cbbfa3bf5
Here are some other good points from websites that are unbiased:
To reduce the number of dog bite-related injuries, adults and children should be educated about bite prevention, and persons with canine pets should practice responsible pet ownership. (CDC website)
“While at times informative, statistics on fatal dog attacks can also be misleading. For example, a number of cases where a Pit Bull, Rottweiler or German Shepherd Dog were counted as causing a human fatality, in reality the direct result was from gross human negligence or criminal intent”. (http://www.thedogpress.com/Columns/Jade/07_Dog.Bite.Stats_09.htm)
"A fatal dog attack is not just a dog bite by a big or aggressive dog. It is usually a perfect storm of bad human-canine interactions -- the wrong dog, the wrong background, the wrong history in the hands of the wrong person in the wrong environmental situation." (Malcolm Gladwell, "Troublemakers - What pit bulls can teach us about profiling," The New Yorker, Feb. 6, 2006.)
www.dogbitelaw.com/PAGES/breedlaws.html
Our Country was not founded on the restriction and punishment of the masses based on the actions of a few.
Focusing legislation on dogs that are "vicious" distracts attention from the real problem, which is irresponsible owners.
These very breeds as a whole have proven their stability and good canine citizenry by becoming 'Search & Rescue' dogs, Therapy dogs working inside hospitals, professional Herding dogs and family companions for years.
Banning the so-called dangerous breed will merely hasten the upswing in popularity of some other breed that will be used for vicious attacks on people and other animals.
There is no valid reason to deprive animal lovers of their well behaved pets.
The reports and statistics are flawed. Among other things, a dog bite victim is usually unable to identify the breed of dog that bit him or her. Therefore, victims will name the type of dog that currently is on people's minds as being the dangerous dog.
(From the Animal Farm Foundation.)
One more thing, the best K-9 drug searching dog in America is a PitBull...his name is "Popsicle" because he was rescued from a man who tried to kill him by putting him in a freezer.
-Cindy, owner of 1 PitBull (Zeus) and 2 Beagles (Max & Osiris)...and yes they do get along!

It's anybody's guess
I hope it's Sanjaya, but three people forgot the words to their songs. My guess is maybe Brandon (one who forgot the words). With the exception of Lahisha, Melinda and Blake, I am not impressed with this years singers at all. It's one of the worst seasons for me.
Just old, I guess :(

...that's why I gave up on Christianity. Jesus' message was beautiful and loving for the most part, but the religion has become inundated with intolerance and condemnation and even damnation. Religion world-wide is too much of a trigger for war and violence and I'm not sure how it got twisted into its present form(s). Well, let me take that back -- it seems as long as there has been religion humans have been fighting and killing each other over it, which is a sad advertisement for a particular religion, unfortunately.
To quote from a favorite folksong, I'm willing to "let the mystery be."
no, actually, i guess i don't. (nm)

Well, I have 8, so I guess not . . .
and, if I had it to do over again, I would do exactly the same! My youngest will be two in June, and my oldest has two of his own. Yes, we have quite an age spread there. Our 2-year-old is the joy of our lives. One little laugh or even a smile from him, and everything else seems to pale in importance. He's a great little de-stressor.
As I have always told my children, "Friends come and go, but familes are forever."
I guess it's not who you know, but who you ?
not funny
Hey, guess what???
Still havent called… I asked if anyone else had done this. I don’t live in terror that I will fall over, have my own blood pressure cuff. I can ask if others have done this without showing up at the emergency room....
Guess you were never a kid?
As long as she's smart, then she should be able to stay out. Now if she's going to be all night, she should have the courtesy to let her mother know. I've been in that situation where I had to pay rent to my parents once I was that age. They didn't have a curfew for me, but I was considerate enough to let them know when I'd be out all night or staying with a friend. According to tradition, the female child does not move out until she's courted and then gets married? I think the OP should cut the girl a break and let her make some decisions on her own.
Are they all like that? I guess that's what I really want to know
x
LOL - I guess they run out often!!
I guess it should go to you, then, b/c you know what
Ahhh, the arrogance. You should be careful! lol
You said yourself so I guess sex at 16 ok
your daughter was 17 and this relationship going on over a year. Sorta sounds like 16 to me but hey, if you are alright with letting your daughter live like that, oh well.
Sorry, I guess this has already
been posted. I got it as an email from someone.....It is really cute for Christmas...
my guess is...sm
Wagons East  Cat
my guess is .......
My Cousin Vinnie?
I guess I was probably
a bit of a Nazi then because my kids opened one at a time, they took turns handing out presents to those who were there, and we recorded each one and made them actually look at whatever it happened to be that they opened and smile and say thank you grandma or whoever...
I guess I too, was trying to be brief....
Ablation was never an option for me. Besides the adenomyosis, I had a septum inside my uterus and was told this prevented me from ever having any kind of ablative therapy.
Guess I am the only one who DID. LOL! SM
You probably know it is a musical. I loved the time period, etc. Yesterday I checked on the price of a the Sweeney Todd CD and can't wait to get it. I was very low in money, but just checking to see who had it. The song I was referring to is acutally "Not when I'm Around" sung by the young boy in the film. What a voice and what a beautiful song. Let me know if you see it, Cat. I warn you . . . not for the faint of heart! LOL.
LOL. I guess that's what I'm saying
I swear I have a four year old and a 14 year old (on 2/10) and they act like they're both four. The older one can't get that all she has to do is walk away from her sister. I let my husband deal with that one a week. LOL.
Let me guess again
You're the same who has been arguing the same nonsensical points for the last 2 days. Three words for you: LET IT GO...breathe...LET IT GO. Nobody cares!
We all second guess ourselves but---sm
Keep up the great work. My daughters are 19 and 23 but I had the same standards you have. They did not get cell phones until high school, they could not wear tank tops that their bras would show. They had curfews. My 19 year old still does when she comes home from college 1 a.m. She hates it but I want to sleep at night. I went to all of their activities even though I could have been doing my own thing because they were my children and that is what we are suppose to do. That I always knew where they were, did not let them get involved with children that we knew the parents were drug addicts etc. They have recently told me that were glad that morals were instilled in them That they now know what is right and wrong because so many people they meet in college have parents who realy dont care and have no morals.
Someday your children will tell you they appreciate the way you brought them up.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
We can only guess, and
one possibility would be a stressful home situation that has her so stressed out that her immune system is failing. One yeast growth gets out of control, thinking can get very fuzzy. She needs relief from the stress and somebody to take care of her physical condition. That's supposed to be her parents, but something is going on there.
Just my guess.
guess what
That makes us even - because I am having a hard time believing you! If there was a significant bite, something would have been done. Been there & done that.
Again, concentrate on what your child needs, not what you need to make yourself feel righteous.
Well then I guess I know someone just like you nm

Tx - I guess its just sad (sm)
When you realize your own relatives think of you like that. DH says if that's the way he feels then fine he can just sit down there (where they live) and think whatever they want of us and they can all praise each other and tell each other over and over how intelligent they are. Then DH said "maybe he'll get some medication for it". :-) Anyway...we've got too much going here and from now on if his family calls they get voicemail. Just is sad - couldn't imagine my family saying things like that.
I would guess so, but I don't think you
can have as big a hard drive, memory, etc. Also, the screen would be soooo small.
I guess
A lot of schools are even cutting art programs (which is too bad because they keep SPORTS!)
At least the self-satisfaction of having a degree is a plus!
I guess 47 or 48.
I had tried a LOT of SSRIs but none of them worked. Effexor is an SNRI, which I guess is what made the difference. I was on a pretty big dose, 75 mg twice a day, for about 1-1/2 years. Very recently this has started to feel like too much...I'm not sure if my brain chemistry has become permanently "unscrambled" (which would be nice) - or if it's because I'm completely through menopause at this point -- but at some point a few months ago I started to feel "wired" and to have very bad nightmares. I've started cutting back VERY slowly. I don't know if I'll end up getting off it altogether. For the moment 37.5 twice a day feels okay. I took more than a month to wean this down, & even that might have been a little quick for this drug.
My main symptoms during menopause were (nice to be able to use the past tense) SEVERE, debilitating anxiety, almost a physical sensation of dread, a lot like extreme stage fright. There were days I was afraid to get out of bed and literally stayed in bed until 10, 11 in the morning, terrified, with the covers over my head. And explosive anger. I can't tell you how many nasty e-mails I fired off because some innocuous thing someone said made my head explode. Then I would be terrified to look at my e-mail for a week. This was all very tough. I did my share of mopping up after myself, but I did not tell anyone what was prompting my behavior. Maybe it would have helped, I don't know. At the time it felt like that would have been making excuses, but it's possible people would have understood, or maybe I would have gotten help sooner if I'd been able to articulate to myself -- out loud -- what the problem was. Adding to this was the resistance I have always had to using "female problems" as an excuse for anything -- not because it wasn't warranted from time to time, but because of the stereotype of women being less, what...reliable? level-headed? because of hormones. I didn't want to feed into that, even though Heaven Help Us, testosterone is a hormone, too, & a lot more dangerous than estrogen, from what I can see in the world around me.
Anyway, I know there are people who breeze through menopause. I was not one of them. I'm very glad it's over.
guess i'd
buy some sanitary pads and maybe have some Midol on hand. I've seen things about what we are doing (eating?) that is thought to create early puberty in young women, but can't remember what it is...might also have some hot cocoa on hand (warm drinks soothe)to help with cramps, encourage moving/walking if she gets too uncomfortable. Just let her know to tell you what she needs, and where supplies are...
Well, guess you could say same for why do I want my BMW
But, my husband buys for me and he says just wants to get me what he considers the best. I do not know what they cost and I do not know what he pays monthly just that he buys them for me.
Just a guess . . .
He gave you something very rare and special, the $2 bill represents your son.
I guess we can see where she got it from...
...if her mother didn't do anything about the situation, that's pretty indicative that she is a bully herself.
At least your mom tried. You gotta love her for that :-)
I am glad that you are an adult and no longer being bullied. What an awful thing for a child to have to go through.
my guess
My guess would be that she is in heart failure, but all the fluid in the lungs looks like pneumonia on the x-ray.
?
A little bit I guess
I never really thought we looked like each other, except the way we talk our mouths are similar (loud - ha ha, actually our mouths move alike) but the last time we were in a store the cashier looked at us and asked if we were sisters. We said yes and she said "aren't you two the cutest together" - and we were 48 and 46 at the time. It was a nice compliment. But I look at pics of me and my little sister (who died when she was little) and we most definitely almost looked like twins.
how did you guess?....
:D
I guess
that Adam will be the winner. At least he should be.
Second best: Kris
Third: Danny
I do not hear anything special in Danny's voice or performance.
He was better at the beginning, kind of washed out.
Allison was much better than Danny and even better than Kris.
I bet on Adam.
my guess
ovary is misfiring.
you will need to get that checked to make sure there is nothing wrong with the ovaries.
I guess I'm the odd man out
Under certain circumstances, I might allow it. I don't agree with the 21 drinking age anyway; I grew up able to drink at 18 and somehow managed to avoid getting any DWIs nor am I an alcoholic now. In Europe, they seem to go right from the breast to the wine glass. So I would not have problems so much with the drinking as I might with who and where the drinking was happening. If there were adult supervision and it was a couple of girlfriends who are celebrating the end of the school year with a glass of champagne, I'd be okay with that. If it was a BBQ with adult chaperone and they're having a couple of beers, I would be okay with it. I would also have to know the family where it was going on so that I could confirm the adult presence. Of course, there would be strings attached- no leaving the house/yard, no driving, no getting in a car with anyone else who has been drinking no matter how sober they may seem, etc.
The fact that your child asked you is a good sign. Had she wanted to, she could have gone off to spend the night with Tiffy with you none the wiser. Even if you do end up saying no, it provides an opportunity for you to explain appropriate behaviors and the responsibilities and risks of alcohol use.
