I stand humbly corrected
You are a people hater.
Very thankful for..
the fact that I heard from my oldest son, after a long time of searching for him (long story), but oh so grateful he is okay. Also, became a grandmother again for the fifth time with a new grandson born a month ago to my youngest son, this makes his second son. I am over the moon whenever this happens. Love to all. Also, I love reading all of the wonderful things happening in each of your lives.
I am so thankful
After reading all these posts that we're doing fine financially and haven't had to change too much regarding spending habits with the exception that we cut down our going out to eat. Our bills all get paid (mortgage which will actually be paid off in about nine years, car, thankfully one is paid for, credit cards finally getting down, etc). I'm lucky that I don't have to pay for insurance as my husband has it through work. We don't have a savings account, but have our money in IRA's, mutual funds, and a 401K plan. Hopefully things won't change too much. We keep telling our daughters, especially our oldest one that things can change at anytime with the job situation so we are prepared if that should happen.
I am thankful for HIS love

You should be thankful that he wants to stay home--sm
SOMEtimes, having outside activities leads to OTHER recreational activities that are not conducive to a happy marriage. I would be very happy to have a stay-at-home husband. JMO. :^)
No matter how annoying they are..be thankful you have one--sm
some of us do not and it is very difficult to provide for ourselves in this day and age. Think about it...truly...what would you do without them?
dehiscence.... is that right? thankful for spellcheck

be thankful to have him around at Christmas time...
and try to overlook some of these things that bother you. My husband is in Iraq and I would give just about anything to have all of his annoying habits around for Christmas. Just a different perspective, but sometimes these things aren't as bad as we think. It is a little endearing that he is so excited at Christmas. Like a kid almost. :)
Be thankful you have your wonderful mom to write that letter to..sm
It has been a little over a year since my mom passed away. I miss her so much. I would love to be able to write my mom or call her. I was fortuante enough to have spent many, many holidays in the kitchen helping my mom. I sure do miss it now. Give thanks that you have your mom in your life. I am also a married mother of 3 and am 36 y/o with no mom for the holidays. God Bless you, your family, and most of all your mom. I am so sad every day without mine.
Contact him and be thankful you found him alive and hopefully healthy. sm
If you pass this opportunity up, you may never get another chance. I think i would call him, but you also have to think about someone else answering the phone and be prepared just in case. i believe everyone deserves a second chance and a chance for explanations. my eldest brother recently had his 23yo son contact him. lots of issues and reasons, but at least his son got to meet his father. now i am trying to get the family together as i am trying to get to know my nephew via myspace. both were sitting around waiting on the other to make a move after their initial meeting and neither were doing it. just FYI though, my brother's wife also had a major problem with my brother meeting his long lost son as well. what's up with that??? i can't comprehend that. as adults, it isn't like they are only after money you know. just want to know their family is all. contact him before you regret it!
You are SO RIGHT. But obviously there are plenty
It is a shame. Let's just sit on our butts and blame the system.
I have lost jobs and I have found jobs, when I picked my sorry butt up and moved on.
It is easier though to suck one's thumb, whine, and blame everybody else for your situation.
HA!! Just be thankful it wasn't leftover lobster tail...like that would happen LOL

Plenty of ice and elevation will help a lot!
At least it did when I fell off a ladder in my house last winter and onto my right (pedal) foot onto a hard tile floor. Speedy recovery to you!
I think you're right...but they have plenty....sm
plenty of USA MTs working for them........
Oh, I have plenty of my furkids if any would be
interested. That is all I have pictures of right now but taking them right and left. Ran out of batteries in 2 days and invested in battery charger Saturday and back to the snap, snap, snapping.
Plenty of victims ...
Kids falter in school and education due to it. Adults perform poorly at work and lose jobs because of it.
We have had deaths due to drivers being under the influence of it.
YES, it has victims.
Drink plenty of water...
I try to start my day with a pitcher of ice water on desk, like a 2-liter bottle and try to drink that during my shift, which really helps. Hubby and I went on program with Dr. and took Adipex and B12/B complex and followed the attached diet. We were on 1500 cal/day and he lost 65 and I lost 35. We quit taking the adipex but stayed with the diet. I lost 30 on this same diet several years ago too. It is well rounded. Somewhere I have an 1800 cal if you are interested. You don't count calories, it is already figured out for you. Daily meal plan gives you a break down of what to eat in a day (1 bread, 1 fruit, etc)and then the individual breakdown (breads, meat, etc.) lets you know what these include. (i.e. 1 bread - 1 slice of bread, 1 fruit 1 small apple or 1/2 cup canned fruit). No expense of buying diet products and you can eat regular food with your family. Funny. We used to eat 2 center cut chops a piece and with this we would split 1! There are free foods too so you could pile up a big salad for lunch and save other stuff for dinner. We did not quit drinking sodas, just switched to diet cokes 0 calories as opposed to 140 or so per drink. Good luck.

I am a preacher's kid. I got spankings, plenty of them.
It did NOT make me sneaky behind my parent's backs. It made me realize that there were consequences for what I did and I knew exactly what those consequences would be. I, in turn, spanked my children. They were never beaten. They were never abused. They also behaved well in church, in school and social situations. Teachers and others told me how well behaved they were when I WASN'T around. They are now healthy, happy adults with whom I have great relationships. They do not resent having been spanked as children, just as I don't resent it with my parents either. 
What sounds wrong about it. There are plenty
on this board who are exactly the same. I am no different. As I type this he and I have been together most of the day in my work room just being together. No work for either today and we are going out in a short while as I am treating him for his b'day dinner. There is more love here that the law allows.
Oh, I beg to disagree. I know plenty of "older"
people who are in bad shape financially. They're getting squeezed out of jobs because young college grads with good technical skills can be hired for much less money. They've got a "want it now" mentality after living it up in the ྌs. They owe money on houses, cars and credit cards. Sweeping generalizations won't work on either age group. Some do, some don't. Age has nothing to do with it.
Already put in long hours and have plenty - sm
of work, so that is not a problem....would love more per line of course...only get .07 and .08 now. DH could play chauffer that is for sure but one activity one daughter does ends in 2 2 weeks (and is free) and won't start up again until October, but would cut out one of their other activities at $120 a month...though will keep them in dance at only $60 a month...don't want them to lose all they do...Between the two of them they do 4 things, only pay for 2 and they will lose 1 of those. They are 8 and 10 so don't want to burden them with this though I do want them to be aware. When I am driving them to their activities I do take my laptop with me and usually work in the car when I have to wait an hour, though not going at all would be a bigger help. He already does the cooking, though I do everything else though I am not what you call a regular house cleaner, once a month or so for everything, and touch-up vacuuming in-between. I suspect if it happens he will sit in the LR all day watching TV, saying he is done with working as he is almost 50 and wanted to retire at 55 as it is and that it is my problem to fix (because of the cc issues). He inferred this last night when he dropped it on me and ran. So it will not be pretty, even w/o the debt it would be tough though less to worry about and more doable. ---I do have a plan of actiion thought out and if I have to beg my dad or his parents for the money to pay the house off I will--I will pay back every penny too, just may take a while. They don't know of our (my) past issues, etc. but will confess all in order to get help, don't want to but more than willing to do it if it means keeping this roof over my head.
Link to NY Times article - there are plenty of others

I have a fairly new HP printer and I have plenty of paper in it but it always think it is out.
I adjust the paper but it keeps saying this. Seems to be an ongoing problems. I can hear it drop on to the paper but it doesnt pull it.
it's different, but I use an old hair claw. Holds plenty. NM

False. I'm sure there are plenty of skinny dim bulbs living in poverty
