residence. I rented a cottage on a large estate, lived there 8 years, and then the owners wanted to turn it back into a guest-cottage for visiting kids & grandchildren. I can understand that. But I know how these guys at my current apt. operate: (1) No one EVER gets their deposit back. I can forget about it anyway, 'cuz my rugs and fridge are almost as old as I am! ;)
(2) But I've seen their *upgrades* - and all they'll do is put in a cheap, thin Berber carpet with no padding underneath, and maybe paint the walls. Then they'll turn around and rent the place for $1800 a month.

I had a similar thing happen on I-40 in Arizona once - sm
I was driving from SF to New Mexico, and since I hadn't been on I-40 before, it was all new to me, and I wanted to keep going. I dumbly passed the last town for MILES, and then it was dark. Was dead-tired, but had to keep going. I kept hallucinating and seeing people standing by the road, and also animals - cows, horses, bears, etc. I'd look once, think I saw it, then look again and it'd be gone, or else be a cactus or a rock or something. (Those saguaros DO look alot like people!). Further down the road I passed a yellow sign that said 'Watch For Animals', and remember thinking to myself, 'Wow! I guess someone else has been hallucinating, too!'
Not surprisingly, that very next morning is the day I first started drinking COFFEE.
i've had similar things happen before
and it ticked me off, like you said, felt sorry for the kid, but hey, parents who do this take advantage of others and I would never do this to someone else.. also, I never liked it when kids just invited themselves over either.. I would never let mine do that. I felt like if they wanted them over the parents would call and ask, or if kids called, I would ALWAYS talk to the parents first.. just plain old rude to do that in my opinion..
Had the same thing happen with face cream
I just happened to open the box before I got to the register. Instead of Neutogena, someone had swapped with Suave. If the packages open easily, I always check the contents. I love/hate that store. Last weekend I got a whole buggy full of groceries and there are only 2 lanes open out of 20. The only others were self checkout. I had to bag my items and place them on the floor because my buggy is full and there is no place to pull the items out of the buggy until you scan them. I let loose on the asst. manager that was standing nearby and she said they just couldn't get any help. I said well, maybe if you paid more, but then wait! they probably make more than I do as a MT anyway! 
Same thing here. Seems to happen when I miskey certain things at

I'd get a similar thing with a neighbor (sm()
he's yell over, "Where ya goin now?" After I lived and learned, I reply, "I don't know."
Going thru similar thing. Thanks for posting this message...sm
Next week, my husband will be attending a meeting with our child's school for my kindergartener. He does have a slight speech problem (I believe due to having a pacifer too long!), and they're talking about speech therapy, which is great, along with special education?? We know his score from the first couple of weeks of school was quite low for where he needed to be but is doing really well now and do not feel he needs special ed. When we received this letter to meet with the principal, speech therapist, special education teacher, and his teacher next week about this, we were shocked. I had just recently had a parent-teacher phone conference with his teacher, and she never mentioned this to me,just how he's doing so much better. What do we do in this situation? We do want him to have the best education possible but also don't want to be conned into something for the sake of a "quota." I guess we go and see what they have to say. Actually, my husband will be going as I need to stay home with our little one, but he's way better at speaking his mind than I am. He'll have no problem speaking up, if need-be.
Similar thing here about a friend keeping in touch
Over the past 40+ years one of my girlfriends had stayed in touch with me until she had a son who died about 2-3 years ago. I made the big mistake, I guess, of repeating some things she herself had said when he was alive and basically she quit talking after that. Oh, well, she was the one who always needed helping and emotional support, had 2 sons who were either alcoholic or druggies or both and ran herself silly over grown men always bending over backwards, taking money she got from social security and paying their bills, letting them mooch off her, with her giving them cell phones so they could stay in touch, acted as if they were 4 years old, just literally enabling them to run her crazy. I guess I made the mistake of repeating what she had told me (and everyone else she knew).
Since we did not check prior, I can't answer that, BUT, you probably sm
want to buy them on land since I'd be afraid that the place you are visiting or tour bus, etc., wouldn't have evidence that you paid or something could go wrong, etc. It's no big deal just to pay when you leave the ship. Our ship had a big stand at the exit of the ship with different lines for different things and we would pick where we wanted to visit (the Bahamas) and then would pay right there on the spot. It's probably better that way. Have fun. And I'm jealous! :)
Just my 2 cents - from prior experience, sm
When my husband retired early (pre-65), I received SS because we had a child under the age of 16 (so both parents and the child received SS). Once she turned 16, mine stopped but hers continues until 18 or she graduates from high school, whichever is later. Once she graduates this month, then she will no longer receive SS, just my husband. Also, he turned 65 this year and receives Medicare. I and my daughter have to have our own insurance. So, if your sister-in-law has a child under the age of 16, she could be right about receiving the SS, but not the Medicare.
I meant prior to the 7 and the 8, not before the S (or were you being sarcastic? :-) nm

Followup to a prior posting
A couple of weeks ago, I had posted about making the decision to testify in a court case about an abusive alcoholic who had hit me while we were on vacation. I don't know if anyone remembers the posting or not, but I really appreciated the warmth, support, and kindness of those who responded.
In any event, the trial was last week. When it became clear to my ex-SO that I was going to testify, he contacted his lawyer who contacted the DA about making a plea bargain. The DA still wanted me to come down in case there were any shenanigans (such as withdrawing the plea bargain if I didn't go down, and therefore the prosecutor losing their primary witness). For the most part, he got a slap on the wrist- 30 days suspended sentence, 2 years probation, 40 hours community service, and Hit No More and Substance Abuse Evaluation. When the DA asked me if I was okay with the plea bargain, the only thing I took exception with was a certain way the defense wanted the suspended sentence written. I don't know if it's specific to this state or not, but there is a 'Suspended Imposition of Sentence' and 'Suspended Execution of Sentence'. The ex-SO wanted the SIS because apparently if you get through your probation, the whole thing is wiped off your record like it never happened. The DA, after looking at his record, said the ex belonged in prison anyway and that the SIS is meant for people who make 1 bad judgment, not 30 years of them, so he had no problem with changing the SIS to the SES, which makes it permanent. The judge said for expediency and since the DA and victim (a title I had never aspired to, and hope to never have again) were not opposed, he was granting the plea bargain as outlined, but if he had his way, he would have given him 9 months...frankly, I wanted to stand up at that point and shout, "But you're the judge in here, you do have your way, lock him up!!!!" However, I held my tongue and let the whole sordid episode just come to an end. The arresting officers had shown up and I thanked them again for their kindness and compassion at the time, and headed back to my sanctuary home.
As a side note, making it through 2 years of parole may be a little tough for the ex, as he has been hammered every night since the trial. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that's probably a violation of his parole, although I could be mistaken about that. And I know he's been continuously drunk since he has called me every night at 3:00 a.m. to tell me how much he misses me, and then calls me at 1:00 in the afternoon to ask me to do some 'administrative assistant' type work for him...apparently he's not used to hearing the word no. Fortunately, he has no way of getting the 70 miles to my place, and I have now blocked his phones.
Hopefully, this is how the story ends, he will get bored with getting no response and move on to someone more suitable for him, like Tonya Harding or, even better, Lorena Bobbitt.
Prior progesterone levels were perfect...sm
so that's part of the "how did this happen?" question. These are the only 2 times I've been pregnant. With the first pregnancy we never had a heartbeat registered on sonogram. I'll know more in a couple of hours today what the end results of the labs are.
I wouldn't try to trim it prior to roasting...
That's what keeps the meat nice and moist and adds all that yummy flavor! (course, I'm kind of a fattie from good 'ol home cookin' so take my advice on that with a grain of salt).
read prior threads-you already know answer(s)
 
typo - I'm the one from prior THREAD - not threat.*L*
Obvious error in prior reply - meant to say
My two "proceeding" pregnancies,I had no morning sickness! - Sorry about that --
No, prior to One Day at a Time, she went to Captain Shreve High where we both went.

As a prior vet tech and diabetic, I wouldnt touch this

The Gulfport Emeril's only opened just prior to Father's Day this year.

My son had this happen to him, as well--sm
and he did report it to the bank. however, he only got half of his money back (I don't know why) even though the woman who stole his cc# was caught. I had the same bank as he did and apparently they told him they would only reimburse half of the charges. To this day, he will not buy items on line.
me too but I don't think that's going to happen...sm
GOP-democratic ongoing battle will make it political, but if WE can resist all that.....it would be good.
Just as an aside, us older MTs...are really going to be the largest senior group ever.......in the USA - something like 70+ million - and we, politically, are a HUGE voice (in numbers)....so I still believe WE CAN change the world.......that we CAN make the difference.
just as I believed 40 years ago too.......
perhaps I'm deluded.....*winks*
sure hope not......
p.s. please don't burst my bubble....
Did this happen already?
I'm watching CNN and they haven't mentioned it. They just have a message up saying that Judge to decide if Paris Hilton goes back to jail. She isn't even at the courthouse yet. The Sheriff are picking her up at her house. I definitely think she needs to go back to jail no question about it.
Happen to be in
or is this something happening all over Indiana, thanks to our MITCH????
He does not ALLOW it to happen...
We are humans, with minds of our own, allowed to make choices. We're not puppets on a string being guided around. Come on now, you can't be that unschooled in the Bible.It's unfortunate that bad things and abuse and so forth happens in this world, but it does...and it's because there are so many nonbelievers and so much evil...God wants us to come to Him. He's not going to force Himself on anyone.
Having same happen to me
Gosh I love these fuzzies but shocked every time I pet them, etc. but that is just the tip of the iceberg- getting shocked from clothing, coats, blankets, etc. etc. Does anyone have a good idea how to stop some of this- and no, I will not get rid of the fuzzies.
You could have this happen to you sm
where you disconnected from someone because of something petty (shower) and then when you really had time to look back on it and put it into perspective, along with putting yourself in her situation, you realize that you miss your friend and try to reconnect.
When you do, you find out she actually died a year before. Think about that before you make a decision to end the friendship. I wish I had.
I can see how it could happen
Years ago, I went for an upper GI. The tech came in right before the test to ask if I had done the bowel prep. They were preparing to do a barium enema instead of an upper GI. It was a good thing I was in the medical field and knew exactly what test I was having and why.
I agree that it must happen a lot..sm
A few years back I had an ink cartridge that I wanted to return because I had grabbed the wrong one. The Walmart wouldn't take it back. For that store anyways, it was their policy not to accept ink cartridges in return for that very reason. They told me that I wouldn't even believe how many they get back and are actually empty. I was told that I needed to send it back to the company for whatever brand it was.
I believed what they said because at that time my husband was a manager there.
When they do inventory it takes them like a month to do it, and you wouldn't believe sometimes how much money and merchandise is unaccounted for, not just easily concealable things either. No way to know how much of it was really stolen, but I would bet a good portion of it.
I'm sure they'll take back your cartridge. If you can't find your receipt, they will probably just give you a gift card figuring that if by chance you didn't get that cartridge there, at least they know you have to spend that gift card at a Walmart.
Just my 2 cents.
I'll tell you exactly what will happen.
If you don't buy it, everything will break. If you buy it, everything will break right after it runs out. lol. I bought a blazer a couple years ago, bought an extended warrantly and literally a month after it ran out my fuel pump burned up, some motor for my blinker burned out, had to get a new alternator, new battery, new tires (due to neighborhood felon in the making), driver side viser broke...I think there was more but I can't remember at the moment.
Anyhoo, good luck! :-)
i expected this probably would happen, but not yet.
I feel for her baby growing up without her mom and for her mother, who i'm sure always had hope that "vicki lynn" would come out of this downward spiral before it was too late. It's tragic all the way around. I would love to know if mr. lawyer is really innocent of all this too.
did these happen at once or different times? nm
I can only imagine what would happen
to all the animals that would not be adopted because the owners could not afford health insurance. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats,all adopted from shelters. We don't have insurance on them but isn't them living in a loving home a better alternqative then what might have happened to them?
Gee. I knew that would happen! LOL!
Know things happen but.....
I can relate to what you say; however when my own father asked me to move in with him (close to age 90) I refused to do that. I visited, had seen him growing up (parents divorced) but I would never ruin my life moving in with him as life would have been hel* for me, overbearing, rude, constantly belittled me in front of others (weight issue he had with me) and generally not the kind of person I would care to live with. However, this is what I did and he could take or leave it. He lived close by in another state and I told him I would get any assistance he could use be it Meals on Wheels, rides to and from appointments, just anything. It was up to him if he wanted or not. I did not care norr do I care now what anyone would think about this situation. My maternal aunt (who knew my father very, very well) said he had lived his life, now I should live mine. I am not throwing away my happiness to satisfy someone else. Now, if he had been a kind, understanding, loving father he could have possibly (and that is not a sure thing) moved in with ME but definitely not giving up my home, etc. to have lived with him.
What's the worst that can happen; you buy a new one?
I have heard people clean them by running them under the shower and letting them dry in the warm outside air. I'm going to try it, I have a backup cheapie to use if it gets ruined and I have to buy a new one.
Would you happen to be a male
Because any female knows how hard it is to go to school while having your period, especially having your FIRST period. And the thought of her using a tampon at that age I am sure freaks the poor child out. My DD is 17 and she still doesn't use tampons. I never used them until I had my 3rd child, over the age of 30. Only a male (I hope) would make such an uneducated response...more power to ya Mom, stick up for your DD 100%... the teacher was absolutely wrong in the way this situation was handled and should be confronted about it...good luck!
Yes, my mother had this happen. sm
I think she was in her 40s, can't remember exactly. She said it was the worst headache and vomiting ever. Her's also was a small bleed, such a small aneurysm that when it burst that was the end of the aneurysm. She recovered fully and if I remember right she was only in the hospital for a week or so.
A lot of assuming going on here. Did it happen or
x
It's not uncommon for this to happen, (sm)
and it suggests you are headed for reading glasses. The first indication will be that your focus change slows down because the lens is getting stiffer with age. This slowing started to happen to me about 2 years ago, and I started taking the eye supplement, lutein. It is described as a supplement for eye health, and I decided to take it because it's supposed to help avoid macular degeneration. But would you believe that slowing of my focus problem WENT AWAY completely? I am still not in reading glasses and have no trouble with my focus as long as I take lutein. This would be the time for you to start it to keep you out of bifocals for as long as possible.
I'm curious - how did that happen? - sm
I recently got pet health insurance for my cats, and notice that one of the things NOT covered is ACL injuries. Never heard of it in a cat before, but sometimes in dogs. Did she jump from something high? Is it in a back or a front leg?
You know what will happen if we all quit
There will have to be money coming from somewhere to replace the tax revenue lost if all of us wicked smokers just up and quit (or died, whichever!). They already decided we could do without the transfats and took those away from our McFrys; Salmonella risk caused many places to get rid of genuine cesar salads because of the raw eggs; and some places have banned pate. They may start slowly hitting the US consumer with a Twinkie tax- $1/pack, $10/carton. Those McFrys, even without the transfat we knew and loved) will have a $0.10 surcharge each (eek, I can't afford to supersize anymore), and I'm afraid that it will take a mortgage if I want to get that Chantilly Lace cake from the bakery.
Fat people and smokers- the last two groups that it's okay to make fun of in this country, and dang if I ain't both!
You wouldn't happen to be a bio-mom would you???
That sure would explain a lot of your behavior and comments.
The OP is doing nothing wrong by wanting a FAMILY and not a part-time husband. Leave her alone.
I've had this happen before and it is usually
when there is fluid behind my eardrum. Usually no cold associated with it. It sounds like a bee buzzing in my ear.
The point is this should NOT happen every day -
The fact that some people think this is okay is why a lot of these kids are so out of control. Do you want everyone to wait to take action until it's a 6:00 news story??? When I was in school this would not have been a big deal, and worked out between kids/parents. Unfortunately we live in a world today where kids do not seem to have morals or consciences and do not think twice about hurting another person because they were "mad". IMO the only way to change that is to STOP making it okay.
Yes, I've had this happen too, sm
As my allergies have gotten worse over the years, I have been pulling up the carpet throughout my house and yuck, nasty! I would love to put wood floors throughout, but cannot afford it. In the fall, my sinuses are even worse. I can't dust or vacuum, make the kids or DH do it.
To get rid of the drainage, you have to dry up your sinuses. I personally use Zyrtec and it works very well for me. I also have a personal steamer that I use a few times a day to try and steam things out. I've heard of the neti pot (not sure if that is spelled right) and that is supposed to work really, really good.
I keep a few peppermints with me in case I'm in public and the nausea gets too bad, it helps dry things up for a few minutes at least.
Good luck!
This could happen anywhere, not just WalMart.
nm
they didn't tell me that could happen! sm
Thanks for the info - they did not tell me that could happen! They told me the other one would take over the work of both. Mine was also removed due to a cyst. It has been a month and so far I am wondering if mine is working. How did you know yours stopped? Other than the obvious (no period) what symptoms did you have?
this didn't happen to me but had a sm
friend who use to work the ER as an aid back in the 80s. Ambulance and EMTs brought in two guys "stuck together." No kidding. I just have a visual on that one don't you all?
Accidents happen... sm
I guess I'd have to fire myself since I'm the cleaning lady around here because sometimes I occasionally break things accidentally. I guess that's the risk one takes with a cleaning person/service, but they're human and mistakes happen.
It always seems to happen like that, doesn't it.
Everything falls apart at once. Anyway, I have gas after having had electric for 15 years. I love my gas stove. The stove top is much faster, saves a lot of time. In the winter, when I'm done with the oven and turn it off, I open the door and it heats up the kitchen so nice and toasty. I would not go back to electric if I had a choice.
