Just quit doing it and they will get the idea and stop. Trust me, I have a whiner for attention here at my house (and I have French doors to my office so he can see me to boot!), and when he pulls that whining nonsense I just ignore him, he gets bored, and moves on. Be firm! Best of luck!

Never said that she was, just stating the obvious......
I know if she were my sister (I'm around her age) I would not have wanted anyone to know, that's all.
No, I am just stating my experience
What I have said is not made up, just MY experience! You need to present all sides here, not just "there are options." You say that like the soldier has the option of staying here or not. No, she has to go through the proper channels, and REQUEST, not tell them what she wants to do. They can then say yay or nay!
OMG - Old P-T was NOT stating the ceremonies were different
She was simply stating that a wedding ceremony of ANY kind, gay, straight or otherwise IS NOT FIELD TRIP MATERIAL. Put the chip on your shoulder away for a minute and focus on the real issue. The kids should be in SCHOOL.
Gee, didn't mean it was NOT in the blood but stating that it would have
shown in the autopsy quite quickly in the organs, as that is what I thought the original poster had inquired about.
Just stating the facts ma'am, and it looks like
you are not such a great diagnostician either! lol
I was simply stating what my sweet addiction is and what
my not sweet addiction is. 
Someone who is atheist clearly is not going to Heaven. No judging, just stating fact as
per the Holy Bible.
I wasn't judging, just stating the facts ma'am....
these were things that were mentioned in the trial. And the baby and the methadone thing was accused by Larry B, I think he would know if she was taking methadone, and she was on something, we all know that.
I was just suprised when you replied to my message stating people just amaze you for being SM
so insensitive when she posted the remark about her ill mother the day after my post. I have a very ill mother myself and would never, ever treat that lightly. I just get annoyed with people blaming the animals and calling them stupid, when in fact it is the stupidity of the owners and the total disregard of neighbors that cause these problems. Have a good day.
I'm not obvious about it, but...
it is obvious by her mood swings when it is approaching, and we all run for cover! Also, when she gets hers, I know my is only a few days aways, so that is helpful to me, too.
I also regularly check her BC pills (she's 17) because she is in a serious relationship for over a year with the same guy and I'm not ready to be grandma for a long time.
obvious to who?

Sorry if I ask the obvious questions, but ...
Are you providing scratching posts loaded with catnip, fun toys, that kind of thing? I have had maybe a dozen cats over the years, none of them declawed, and none ever touched any of my furniture (some of it leather to boot)because I started them when they were young with taking them to the claw posts, praising them there, providing toys, etc. Give it a try before you declaw, please!!! Good luck.
The most obvious question here is......
Why isn't your husband doing anything about this? Just because this is his only sister doesn't mean he should put his family at risks. Does he worry more about his sister's feelings than his children's safety? He is the man of the house.....he needs to act like it. If he's anything like my husband, he's afraid he'll hurt her feelings. My SIL has always played the innocent, couldn't possibly have a negative bone in her body kind of game, but eventually my husband realized this was what was happening and he finally starting distancing himself. She is playing him for a fool and this is really about who he stands up for more than anything else......her or his family, and your MIL is doing the same thing......"Son, who do you really care about, me and your sister, or your wife and your children? Where does your loyalty really lie?" Better nip this in the bud.....it's already gone too far.
It seems obvious but I feel bad (sm)
I don't want to be mean to a good person just because they don't have it together. It's a hard decision for me.
and the obvious question is
What was on TV? ;-)
mine's probably obvious
aside from the fact that i'd be lost without my alprazolam, there is another reason. my initials for tying are MS, which are very common. so, many, many years ago, to separate myself from the group, i changed my initials to MX, which no one had. now, i've even changed the way that i sign any documents requiring my initials as Mx.
also, as is probably common, some of us have other screen names here than just our primary. i have more than one identity here, which shall remain nameless. another one of me is much more of a trouble-maker than the true XanaX, another regards being an ex-employee for another company, and yet another regarding my location in this country. i'm usualy X, but my mood changes and sometimes i need to be more anonymous. 
If you can't change your SIL's mind (and it seems obvious you can't) sm
Then you need to build a fence around your property to protect your children. Yes, I know it's expensive, but what are your children's lives worth?
he shouldn't even ask-it's too obvious and classless
again, just my own *take* on the situation...betcha these people always get called by virtual strangers or acquaintenances to stay with them while the guests do Disney Parks.....living in Orlando and all that....
it reeks of using them.....just to stay there.....
Bad taste, to say the very least.
You are a caring, loving person. That has been obvious SM
from your posts for a long time to me. You are doing the right thing and staying on top of this. With your close eye and caring and with professionals on board I think your son has a bright future. Keep us informed. 
Besides the obvious humiliation the girl has suffered
Isn't this also the equivalent of performing medical testing on a minor without parental consent? I agree with all of the above posters. This child has been humiliated and that counselor needs to lose his job. I have a 12 yo and she would be MORTIFIED if this was done to her. She's uncomfortable enough with her body changes, such as her breasts developing and just starting to have periods. She would be embarrassed beyond words if something like this happened to her.
The Missing Link, for obvious reasons (nm)
Obvious error in prior reply - meant to say
My two "proceeding" pregnancies,I had no morning sickness! - Sorry about that --
Yeah, it's pretty obvious what any list means
is - this is a list of all the medications the patient could remember and I could find in the records.
Re-read your post - you already know the answers to your questions, it's obvious. nm

Yeah we are both Christian women I thought that was obvious.
and while I'm on a roll I might add that he found time to build a barn but not fix the obvious (s
problems with the house. Putting your wants before the NEEDS of your family is called being selfish. Maybe you are doing the same thing so you can relate to him so well?
I assumed that all those things you mentioned are obvious dangers with children being home alone nm
