I have to agree with this post.

Not to flame you in anyway, but my son uses his money (I talked about this in an earlier post) uses his money for time with friends. My parents as well and my hubby and I paid for his used car. We pay his insurance and from time to time give him gas money because he does run errands for us, including taking his sister to after school activities. He is extremely active in after school activities, is involved in his youth group, and is a straight A student. Defintely during the school year there is no time for a part time job. Also someone mentioned a paper route. My brother and his SO other used to deliver papers as well as full-time jobs. Their day started at 4:15 every morning 7 days a week and they had at least 2 hours of delivering papers. I realize it is different everywhere, but if you took a day off you had to pay someone else 50.00 to take your route. If there was a complaint from anyone no matter what the complaint was, you were docked 1.50. The weekly paper doesn't even cost that much. I would never recommend a paper route, but if you are ever looking to hire someone and they have had a consistent paper route for over a year, that is the person you want to hire.

What an awesome post! I agree, agree, agree completely with you.
 You are right on the money in my book! 
I agree with post below --sm
but also, if I were in your shoes, and I have been in the past, I would definitely be looking for another place to live. I know that sometimes that is not possible, but you have to think of your own safety and your children's safety over a house to live in. Sometimes you just have to move as far away from the *problem* as possible. If he can't see you, he can't hurt you. Don't rely on police. Protect yourself first. good luck to you!
I agree with your post...
I would not recommend a tubal to anyone...talk to your SO about a vas, SO much easier on the guy (isn't everything???)...GOOD LUCK THOUGH!
Agree with the above post
I would try to keep my trap shut, the more you say the more she wants to be with him. I learned that lesson years ago - my child grown has caught on and said - you don’t really like them, do you? I said why do you say that- I never said a word and they told me - that is just it- you didn’t say anything- if you had liked you would have said so.
I agree w/you and your post
mayo is made with eggs in it....and while the other post might *think* it's a myth - (m deceased mother got NUTS about mayo being uncovered in the jar even while we were using it - and we didn't put the lid on it immediately) - it's far from a myth. I was married to a French chef DE cuisine and I too was a chef for 5 years back in the 70s....and one is taught this.
Once can merely call Johnson & Wales Culinary School and/or any institute of culinary art anywhere in the USA (or in France) and ask this very question......IF one does not believe......
Agree with most of your post, but...
What's behind all of this mess, and what people don't want to consider is this: CAPITALISM by its very definition breeds corruption. Not only that is makes our economy DEPENDENT on people consuming/buying more than they can pay for.
PEOPLE! When wages are stagnant and everything goes UP, the economy implodes!
Anyway we are in a real mess and EVERYONE is to blame if we want to play that game, including the government - they RAPED the treasury to pay for yet another fake war.
the solution lies in what WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND: trust the crooks who did this to fix the problem? Then we deserve what happens next.
PEACEFUL PROTEST IS PATRIOTIC.
Completely Agree with Your Post - NM

I have 3 children, but I agree with your post 100%
nm
Applauds TM's post!!!! I so agree!...nm
I agree with latest post
It would be ideal if you could handle it with your SIL, but not always possible. I would begin talking to your child instead and explain that just because someone says they will do something doesn't always mean they will and there could be lots of reasons. He may as well learn it now, or he will defitely learn it later and then it may be about something much more significant and even more hurtful. I hope things get better with her. Oh! Maybe (if she has a child) you could "forget" the present and say you will bring it by later and then really DO it. That may make a point w/o having to be confrontational and jeopardizing your relationship. Just a thought. Good luck!
nice post. I agree....
I dreaded my first from warnings of others, and went to my local hospital and I was like..."That's it?" LOL!!! i was even told to take a pain killer pre- since it would be so bad. Heavens. Wish i would have known how NOT bad it was! Then, I had implants and was told the same,and that was just as easy. Dont put it off. My friend has double mastectomy for BC on Tuesday AM...she is 37!!!!
re: above post, I agree with Jan not "Lady"

great post and I agree with you...nm
I so often agree with you! Thank you for your post! That was awesome! nm

I agree with your post - see message
I have 3 jobs and keep putting my resume in for jobs doing whatever it takes to get hired on somewhere that will give me benefits.
You are so right that in our industry you can't depend on just one. I have seen companies fail and if you are dependent on one you are going to go down with them - and they never tell the employee ahead of time. Also with the economy the way it is there is just nothing that is guaranteed anymore.
I have a husband but he doesn't work (can't finding anything, and think he's going through a midlife crisis), so that leaves just me. I'm the one who has to do it all and I do and I don't complain about it. When he sees me typing all the time he says he feels bad, but I told him I do what I gotta do because we have bills to pay and need to eat and have a roof over our head. I was brought up to believe you do what you have to do and you don't complain about it. If you are unhappy then you change the situation. We all make the lives we live. For us this certainly is not the perfect situation but I'm doing my best to change and improve it.
I too am in my 50s and I've been taking home study courses (along with working 3 jobs), also to transition to something different. One never knows what path the MT will be. I hear more and more about jobs going overseas, or the current administration doing whatever they are going to do to health care and that could change a lot. I just think it is wise to have another skill.
To the OP - if you are reading this all I would suggest is that if you can't stay with relatives try looking for a studio or something very cheap. It may not be your ideal place, but do whatever you can to find yourself another job. Search, search, search the local newspapers, employment boards here, there's a ton of websites for jobs. If you have to work every day and more than one job do it. Take whatever you can get and then work on getting something better. I wish you all the luck.
DITTO - Great post!! I agree.......nm
Amensister - GREAT post and I agree!!!!!
Government get out of our uteri !!!!!! (one of my rooms in my home is a tribute to the Native American by the way!!! *S*)
I agree totally this this post, though I have never been married,
and you should not have to disrupt their lives anymore than necessary by finding a new place to live, etc. Though from the sound of it, you dont like where you live and he does, but I would stay put like this poster suggests.
Completely agree with your post. Don't bring sm
ANYTHING to school or on bus. It will get stolen and how could you even prove the game belonged to your son?
Agree with chalk it up to experience.
As far as calling parents: You will be the one cursed out. They will never believe their little darling could pilfer anything.
I agree with the post above, some lino is wonderful sm
and be clear, there real live linoleum and then there is vinyl flooring. REAL lino looks EXACTLY like anything they want to make it look like. Vinyl flooring won't look like anything other than what it is. I have kids and pets, so I have VINYL throughout the house with washable area rugs. I'd love hard wood or real lino, but sadly both are equally pricey and God knows, we don't make money in this business anymore.
what you say in your post makes sense,. I agree...
Don't doctors always emphasize HOW IMPORTANT the patient's attirude toward a treatment is?
The patient HAS TO BELIEVE in the success of the treatment, otherwise it will not work.
If the patient rejects a kind of treatment, IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK FOR HIM.
THE PATEIENT MUST HAVE A positive attitude and embrace the treatment.
I totally agree. Not to minimize your post, but there are far worse
To keep at it would be overkill.
Agree with the catnip on scratching post - works for me. nm
I agree, try to live in another country, then you will also agree...nm
nm
absolutement! Agree! Agree! Agree!
Why is it so hard to understand this? HMOs are just middlemen who get everything balled up and costly!
I agree with you - not judging either but agree (nm)
:)
Well, you post with something that is going to --sm
get your *butt jumped* and then you cry when someone does. judgemental of everything, huh? don't get your halo in a twist. geez.
your post says *they*...
Is more than 1 of your children living with this person? Just curious...
Thank you for your post....sm
at least YOU seem to understand the concept of what a thyroid problem can do to a person...unlike anon poster below, who has a very closed mind about ANYthing she does not agree with.
My thyroid problem is quite bad. I HAVE seen an endocrinologist who explained that thyroid disease is an autoimmune disease, where the body attacks certain organs for no reason. I did not do well on synthetic thyroid replacement and switched to a *natural* form. I am currently taking 120 mg daily and that is a lot. The endocrinologist said that my thyroid was barely functioning at all.
I feel very bad for your brother in law, as I truly understand how he feels. Thank you again for your understanding support for my problem, rather than attacking me with being a food junky, being paranoid, needing a psychiatrist, telling me I am nuts, and to pursue bariatric surgery, which all tends to lower my already low self-esteem. thank you for your courage to post. It is nice to know that SOME people understand.
was the *duh* in yer post necessary?.....
#
better post than your first one *LOL*
I like what you said there - you have had a GOOD solid thing for 41 years now.......or thereabouts with your husband -
Doing this to him, even surreptitiously....do you think this is what HE deserves after you having a full life with him? Do you have a conscience? Even if you don't see this guy from 900 miles away - YOU'RE STILL CHEATING, you are carrying on a secret relationship in a secret email account behind your husband's back.........
I ain't judging.........but points upward.........towards G_d.........
jes' sayin'..............
how did this post above from 1/16/07 end up

to be adopted already....
I really liked your post, thanks for that!!!..sm
I so respect what you said/typed.......thank you :)

I have not received any emails from you regardnig your post.
Sorry to post again about this but (sm)
Divorce is a huge decision - I have been talking to family and friends but this is the only place I can get anonymous opinions from a lot of people, and it is more likely that someone here may have been through something similar. My husband now is asking me to not go. But he has already told me just a few nights ago that he was never happy with me, was always disappointed and frustrated with who I am, and that this is probably the reason he hit me a few years ago. He went nuts a few years ago during a very minor argument (children were not present), and now says that it was probably because of years of frustration. But now he is once again asking me to stay. Because my parents are divorced he says that "divorce is the only thing I know" when faced with conflict. I have been here almost 14 years and he has never been happy with me. Even when I was young and thin and our house was spotless. My question is - if he has never been happy with me, and I have always been a source of frustration, why should I stay now and expect things to improve? We have been to 4 marriage counsellors in the past. I am scared about leaving and I still do love him deep down, but why continue to stay if I will never be good enough?
I should have put LOL after my post
about the fancy car. My parents and my MIL drive "fancy" cars. I agree that wasn't a nice thing to say.
Well, here you can post what you think
Well, here you can post what you think is an awesome idea or might we say lame... (Creativity is the key)
I'll start with:
Awesome:
Water powered cars...
Lame:
Really cool stuff that is ridiculously expensive(i.e. PS3)
Please do post a pic of your pup
if you haven't already. Hayseed knows how.
Was this post really necessary?
Why bother reading a post that doesn't interest you just to post something rude and totally unnecessary? I for one love hearing about the good things in life. It's not just all work, work, work.
see my post sm
Would anyone who has used Cymbalta please reply to my post on the Mental Health board. I think this is suitable for "gab" but only one answer on that board. Thanks! BTW, I don't think exhaustion and pain from this profession is all "in our mind." I hope you agree.
Post her pic?
//
I saw that post too
I'm glad I wasn't the only one confused. This is a gab board and that's what we're doing gabbing about cats and other animals. If he/she isn't interested, just don't read the posts. By the way, I have an all black Halloween cat and the kids get a big kick out of him when them come to the door.
I think your post is right on
My hubs and I have separate and I trust him beyond belief, would never know what he made a year except at tax time. I think it is great to have hubs you trust and can take care of things like yours does. Seems like a dream deal to me. I could care less for doing anything when it comes to financial deals but sometimes have to fool with that. If I had a hubs that dealt with everything, I would be more than happy. You are blessed.
Just saw this post
Yes, his anal glands were really impacted- the post below this 1 helped me tremendously. Never knew felines got that way. He went to the veterinarian the very day I learned about the possibility of what it could be, the vet expressed the glands and relieved that problem. Yesterday my big boy (20 and a half lbs) went to the groomers to get him all cleaned and smelling good again. One more thing I learned- he is double furred boy and hair was even growing over his anus which had to be shaved. He is quite the handsome guy today!
100% right and that is my post
Give varied foods to be served but can you just imagine if 10 or more kids would not eat and demanded certain foods for their own eating? Did not say kids should be forced to eat anything but definitely needs vegetables in their diet. Sit foods on the table, not much fuss and let the child eat and eat good, no junk stuff, no Cokes, no sweetened drinks, no overloading on the chips, cookies and other sweets.
By the way, there is a second pic in that post above. (nm)
.
I just had to post this pic too!
This is my youngest, Scooter, when we first brought him home 2 years ago. He is MUCH bigger now! LOL!
Above post is IMO, of course.
