abdomen, only see it in swimsuit. Really wanted one on the back of my shoulder, but decided not to get one that would show when I was "dressed up." My ex told me I could NEVER have one, so when we divorced that is the first thing I did!!!!

When 2 cars ride side by side on the interstate...sm
and block traffic so nobody can pass. I will get irate over this. I don't know where people's brains are.
There's one side, the other side, and the truth
And boy is it true.
I will say you sound like my aunt, who never speaks up, gets walked all over and then cries about it later.
Her kids/grandkids have no idea why she is always depressed, they think nothing of doing whatever they want without regard for her because she hasn't expressed an interest or opinion on anything and they don't know any better.
Yes, they use her. Yes, they could do things for her, but she never asks anything or says anything, so they don't press it, because it's always been that way. And she's a martyr, so it'd upset her pattern if things actually changed.
And the truth (and maybe reconciliation) lies in the middle somewhere.
Sad.
Where in lower NY?
I'm in Upstate NY and it's in the mid-70's here. I think this morning the low was in the high 50's. Brrr to you.

That is way down in lower manhattan
If you are going to South St. Seaport and are staying in Midtown, you might want to plan other things in that area while you are there. If you like Latin food, there is a restaurant called Cabana at South Street Seaport. Reasonable for lunch but expensive for dinner. It is on second floor and overlooks harbor. Also the downtown alliance has a free shuttle that takes you around lower manhattan. you get on and off at various points. http://www.downtownny.com/gettingaround/?sid=19
That way you can do Staten Island Ferry, ground zero, Brooklyn bridge, etc., and not get lost walking around in lower manhattan. It is not laid out like a grid down there and gets very confusing.
My daughter plans on going to college in NYC so we go often. Have a great time. Don't be afraid of the subway. It is a great experience. Going back to NYC in August. Cannot wait.
me too (lower NY state)
had to go out for son's teacher conference
Please not the lower back...
Hip or shoulder yes, lower back...please NO!!! So trashy...MHO, of course...good day!
Lower it - 21 is too high
1. Three years is not a huge difference.
2. Most kids are drinking earlier than 21 anyway and nobody is enforcing the law when they get caught drinking under age.
3. It was 18 when I was 18 and there was not a high incidence of drunk driving or whatever reason they have for a drinking age.
4. Germany there is no drinking age and they do not have a high rate of drunk drivers (they have one of the lowest rates of any country).
5. If they are not going to lower the drinking age they should then raise the age of joining the military. Someone tell me that it makes sense that they can't drink til their 21, but at 18 years old in the military they are given guns and can use them.
Some kids will be responsible and some kids won't. I know a lot of people who are in their 20s and 30s and older who are very irresponsible when it comes to drinking - btw, I am 48 years old, not 18, 19, or 20 (and just want the age lowered) :-)
Your lower teeth
in the front ... have your gums eroded in back of the teeth as well? Mine look fairly normal in front of the teeth, but behind them (especially bottom front teeth), I can see the gums are quite receded. I have one of those little dental mirrors. I am wondering why they would be worse in the back, as I think I brush the same way there.
If the houses around you are crap, your value will also be lower than it should be.

She said TURKEY BACON which is much lower in sat fat, etc. sm
I did Weight Watchers for years and I'd eat something like this, if you were judiciously using the bacon/cheese.
P.S. They DO lower your minimum payment due (nm)

If you suffer from lower back pain
or arthritis like me, you may want to try the SALONPAS pain relieving patch. Works great! Relatively inexpensive. Comes in different sizes. Right before it rains, I often get horrible arthritis related lower back pain problems. I put on the patch and I am able to type almost pain free. If you can not find it in your local pharmacy, your may want to look it up online. Made by Hisamitsu Parmaceutical Co. Best patch/pain reliever I have tried.

try to negotiate for a lower APR before going to CCC & use the word "hardship"
Search Google for credit info center they have great advice there.
Try to negotiate for a lower APR yourself first.
First call and threaten to cancel, (but do not cancel if they don't help!) and that might get you a lower APR.
If that fails write or call back,you have to say the word "hardship" to them to really work with you if you are not 60 days past due...that is the magic word. Their hardship plan and CCCS looks the same on your credit report, at least you control it by doing it yourself.
HTH :)
look up the lower down posts, this is a totally different story..nm

Since they are in the public eye, they must do it. John Edwards is lower

Negotiate lower interest rates on your credit cards
It’s worth a shot, and some credit card companies might do it if you’ve been a faithful customer or you threaten to balance transfer to another card.Buy a texting plan for your cell phone. Texting has become unbelievably popular. I have no idea why, because it seems like a pain in the butt, but it’s typically 15 cents for every message you send and receive. This adds up, so better off paying $5 to $10 a month for the add-on plan if you’re addicted to texting.
Southern here, cracklins sold in lower income stores usually
I have been at roadside stands and never smelled them cooking nor saw them but mostly you see in stores like food depot. I know of no one who uses them. I am sure that various parts of the country have other foods that could turn a person's stomach. I remember a supposed pepperoni pizza I had 1 time in Buffalo and the tomatoes on it were whole like uncooked. Yuck for that. Everyone has a yuck I am sure.
My daughter is 35 years old and has been having pain in left lower abdomen for quite some time . . .
She had a CT with oral and IV contrast and it was normal, but showed she had an enlarged uterus. Dr. called the next day and said she needs to go for ultrasound.
There is lots of cancer in the family, so my daughter is very concerned. Can any of you who have experienced this help out here. Thanks.
side sm
Buy a bag of frozen fries and put them in the oven on a cookie sheet or some minute rice - quick and easy. Do both, have fun!
from the other side...
My MIL said that she thought I should have never had my first son while I was pregnant with my second and that I should probably abort him (her son and I were married at the time and I am and was 30). That hurts. I can imagine that she probably does not think that seeing the baby is a priority for someone who suggested she give it up. I know that she is 18 and stupid, but this is her child and try to put yourself in her place. I cannot allow my MIL to be alone with my children until they are older because I am afraid that she will put her difference with me ahead of their safety. When my son was 1, she allowed him to play with a fork (running around) and refused to move her vodka out of his reach just to spite me. What will she do if I am not around to watch her and them? I must put their safety ahead of her desires. That is just hte way it is. I am not saying that you would do any of these things, but keep in mind that she and your son will probably not work out, as they are so young, and she will have your grand child forever. Perhaps, you should try to create peace and apologize, even if you think that you are right.
Trying to look at it from the other side
Guys are funny creatures (and not in the ha-ha way). As women, I think somehow we learn that it's okay to talk about feelings. Guys, especially of a certain age, don't have that luxury, and a lot will use humor to 'hint' at something that is bothering them rather than come straight out and ask (heck, I even do it myself, especially if it's something that is really bothering me on an emotional level and I'm afraid of the answer!). It's possible that he feels badly about you paying his way...yes, we're independent women now, but you can't change thousands of years of hunter/gatherer instinct overnight. He probably wanted to hear how you responded to it...depending on whether you joked back, how you joked back, or whether you got angry, he may have thought he'd get an answer that told him how you were feeling about it without straight out confronting/asking you about it.
Never forget that men are just as insecure in relationships as women are; they're just better at masking it behind stupid comments!
side note--sm
and don't forget to remove the neck and giblets in the bag inside the turkey prior to baking. I learned from experience. :^)
Ditto on that, I am an A on one side, AA on the other - sm
talk about fun! Either go without or those stretch ones since I don't need any support really except on the 1 side a little bit. There are more AAs out there now but 5-10 years ago other than shopping in the girl's department it was impossible!
tell her to get mac&cheese or another side--sm
she doesn't HAVE to eat mashed potatoes. Pizza gets tiring all the time. She may be nice, but she doesn't sound very flexible. Enjoy whatever you decide on. have fun!
Flip side--sm
I would just like to interject my own experience with getting dentures.
I had an immediate denture procedure, meaning the denture was made prior to the actual removing of the normal teeth and placed immediately after removal. When I first saw my denture in my mouth, I cried! It was way too big and I looked like Bugs Bunny! The dentist that made this denture then went on vacation and I had to wear this atrocious looking appliance for another month while a new one was being made. I had to go to work with this thing in my mouth and even at 42 years of age, I had to be the recipient of cruel joking from my coworkers. But I finally got my new, smaller denture and even though it looked better, it did not fit well. My gums shrunk quicker than normal and I had to have it relined within two months. (another expense). So with that horrible experience, I decided never to return to that dental group again, which I did not. I tolerated not being able to eat anything with more hardness than a peanut butter sandwich, or my denture would pop out. That meant no meat, no corn on the cob, no pickles, etc. I also had to deal with slippage while speaking, etc. Not every one has a good experience with dentures and if I had it all to do over again, I would NEVER NEVER have my own teeth removed for a pair of plastic useless torture appliances!
I have new dentures now, which I paid for on my own and even though they are 80 percent better than what I had previously, they are still not all that comfortable and they still have their problems with eating certain foods. I can eat steak and corn on the cob now, but no apples. Most of the time when I am at home, I do not wear them. They still hurt to wear for any length of time.
This has just been my experience and I just wanted to share it so that you can hear both sides. No matter how bad your own teeth may be, they can be fixed and be made very presentable. Once you have dentures, you can never go back. I would take my own natural teeth back in a heartbeat, if that was an option for me.
I wish you all the best of course, no matter what decision you make.
visit to the other side
I was at a bridge and on the other side I saw people sitting on lush lawn and playing in the water, lots of laughter, etc. I was met by a spirit who said (telepathically) that I had things to do before I came in but that it was totally my decision to stay or return. I chose to return. That evening I told my doctor the whole story, from the moment the nurse told him I had passed to what they did to my body next and my experience on the other side. Needless to say, he was speechless. This was in 1964 and none of these experiences had been published yet.
Actually, my side is to the door. sm
Can't put the desk anywhere else but in this corner.
side effects
Does anyone know it the Hoodia causes any side effects or if it affects blood pressure? I have both diabetes and hypertension and have to be careful what I take. Should be extra diligent in what I eat, but if I was I wouldn't be asking about Hoodia, now would I? Am really interested in learning about this. Need to lose a LOT of weight for health reasons, as well as clothes shopping. TIA
Look at the bright side
You have a great story to tell - your child will enjoy hearing it when she/he gets older. I laughed out loud when I read your post!
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
Did you catch Gene Simmons' rectal examination and colonoscopy Tue night. The KISS demon himself. hahahaha
that would be the dark side.
and I have moved on. this conversation is so over for me.
keep on the sunny side. I just want
to put my hands over my ears or slap her every time I hear it. Don't care for dreary phil collins, either, or at least I think it's phil collins - I can feel it coming on, oh lord.
On the gift side, do like we do...
he wants a $1200 item this year; fine, he can have it, but I get that same amount to do something with. If he wants to buy me a ring or some such bauble, fine, or he can just give me the cash to buy what I want.
And I have not asked you to be on my side (sm)
I asked for an opinion of whether it is abusive or not. And when one parent is abusive to a child the other one has to be a buffer. It is not a choice, it is a duty.
The other side of the coin (sm)
I am an introvert and shy, and WAS married to a social butterfly. He was always the life of the party, always had more friends/activities/hobbies than I and after a few years of marriage, I was miserable. I felt we had no friendship or companionship anymore even though I made an effort to be sociable at times. He,however, never stopped being himself and spent less and less time with me. It is something to carefully consider, not that I'm saying it can't work. My ex was just a very selfish man who lived his life for himself. If you get counseling and keep communicating with each other, I think it could work - not the best situation ideally but it could definitely work if you both love each other enough.
Tell me the good and bad side of
a ROTTWEILLER dog please? I have always wanted one, but I'm not used to owning anything but a little dog.
The other side of that coin.....
Is the girlfriend of a former coworker years ago whose parents "promised" her a bachelor's degree. They never put any restrictions on it other than if she got bad grades they wouldn't pay for the next semester. They paid for her apartment when she chose to move two states away with her boyfriend. He went to the University and she went to the local community college. He graduated with a Bachelors degree (that he obtained in 4 years while working 35 hours a week because he paid his own way) and she didn't even finish her Associates Degree. She ended up finishing that when she moved back home. There was one semester in there where she tanked and Mom and Dad didn't pay for anything. Mom, however, the next semester did pay off every single one of her credit card bills so she wouldn't have to work quite so hard. Huh?
It took her 7 years. Yes, I said 7, seven, years to finish an associate's degree, all the while living at home with mom and dad paying all expenses. She worked, so she had money for smokes, and her own play stuff, but she never contributed to the house. I think it was another 5 years or so before she actually finished her Bachelor's and actually moved out.
Don't judge someone else how they choose to raise their daughter or son. It sounds like daughter's got a good head on her shoulder and is never going to mooch off mom and dad and will actually turn out to be a nice, productive member of society.
hmm, well let me tell my side of this story..
Well, first of all, I have had 4 kids all by C-section.. First 2, I was knocked out, 3rd had epidural, 4th had spinal..
First baby, Josh, weighed 9 lb. 14 oz. 3 weeks late, was out of it that whole day, as I had never been put to sleep, never had an IV, anything.. I think I was in shock..lol..
2nd baby, Jacobey, weighed 9 lb., on time scheduled, didn't let it get me down, I knew the quicker I did things, the quicker I got out of the hospital.. which with the first 2, I was in the hospital 4.5 days..
3rd baby, kelcie, weighed 9 lb. 2.5 oz, on time scheduled, epidural w/o morphine, did fine afterwards, came home in 2 days, the ladies who had c-sections directly before me had morphine, they couldn't even get up & walk around for 2 or 3 days, they were still in the hospital & I was going home..
4th baby, noah, weighed 9 lb. 14 oz., 3 weeks early, spinal, no problems, home in 2.5 days, so, any of it has it's "good & bad", but different things work for different people too..
This is just my experience with it, but had epidural w/ kelcie, and they called me the day before I was scheduled to go in & have her and asked if I wanted the plain or morphine epidural??? I had no clue there was even a choice, I just told them plain. While i was sitting waiting to be took into the OR, the anesthesiologist came & started asking ?? why I didn't want the morphine epidural?? I just told him I didn't know there was a choice & just chose plain. He got to harrassing me asking me WHY I didn't want morphine, did I have a drug problem was what it was amounting to?? geez.. man give me a break, first time doing this while awake & he was being a butt, then before he walked off, he said your going to be sorry.. which of course scared me even more.. but I didn't not care for the epidural at all... I have a spot where they put that in my back to this day (she will be 21 this year).. for quite a few years around my monthly time, if anybody just barely touched that it would have pain that would make you cry or take you to your knees.. & I can take pain pretty good... also, it is still tender around that area at times even now..
onto, 4th child, noah, had him in a different hospital, had a spinal which I had heard horrifying things about, BUT didn't want another epidural, this doctor said she preferred spinal block over epidural.. it was soooo much easier, didn't have any kind of pain afterwards, headaches or anything.. which I didn't have the headaches the first time around.. so, anyhoo, this is my side and my experiences with it..
You just don't want to acknowledge the ugly side
of the horse breedin' business is all. You go Google these two words, "Feedlot horses," and let me know what you find. Dollars to doughnuts says you won't find much about horses used in herdin' cattle....add in the word Thoroughbred to that search while your at it. Many of the rescues, Canter, Crossed Sabers, SWAP (Second Wind Adoption Program) rescue horses directly from these feedlots. Everyone immediately thinks of the mustangs being the only horses sent to slaughter because they are so high profile, but there is a white elephant in the room...one that generates a lot of money and prestige, and ignorance is bliss so people turn a blind eye. It's really quite sad.
