I made it very clear to the office

In Reply to: Sorry you are in the same situation - feeling so guilty
before I told them my concerns she was not to know. You aunt seems to have more going on, i.e. being unrealistic about trying to climb all the steps you talk about. You should not feel guilty about trying to explain the situation at your place. Is this your mother's sister- who else can step in and speak up for you? My aunt got sorta snippy with me (never had before) but now since she is having to move seems more calm and more accepting- I think she is actually looking forward to it after wanting to be on her own for all these years. Just could not do it anymore and I applaud her doctor for stepping in like I wanted him to. I went behind her back but she would tell me things and then ask that I not tell her son and her living alone I knew I had to step in which I did. She adores her doctor and I knew this, therefore that is the person I approached.

I should have made my post more clear, sorry...
I meant *generally* speaking. You seem to me to rather be the exception to the rule. MOST folks (not you, evidently and this is a GOOD THING *S*) in the deep south (and I am not speaking of places such as south Florida) - are against abortion and pro-choice - not all of them but PLENTY of them.
I did NOT mean to offend....please forgive me....
Any office supply place, like Office Depot or Staples. Try copyholder instead of typing stand.
Might see if your local Staples, Office Depot has someone that does office machine

However, you need to be clear about what YOU want and not just tell them
that it's their job. You do have some responsibility in this as a parent. Tell them that you expect them to help your daughter get caught up along with the rest of the children who are behind, and that your child being behind is directly due to the result of poor handling during her kindergarten year when there was lengthy teacher absence and that because of that, their rules regarding children having to be 6 months behind academically is moot. You might suggest that they provide a separate classtime with the children who are behind with direct emphasis on only the problem areas and quickly get them back on track. Good luck.
Should have been more clear, huh? - LOL
Thank you, too. It is so very clear to me that SM
you are the type of person to love with all your heart. My sister during the last week of her cat's life slept on the floor with Mary Beth (her beautiful cat of many years) because Mary Beth could no longer jump up and down from the bed. We do things we never thought we would do for these beautiful creatures God has given us. You are such a loving pet owner. That made me cry reading your posts. I celebrate the life of your cat and the love you gave her. I celebrate the life of all the pets my family has owned, loved and still miss. We all feel what you are feeling and you are not alone. Your love enabled you to give her all those years, and I believe your love will get you through.
Let me try to be more clear...lol
I wash my hair with the dandruff shampoo...although I don't have dandruff, it also kills germs that cause acne. I use the facial scrub in the shower to open up my pores so that when I put on the peroxide, it can get into my pores. If you just dab on peroxide without the scrub first, it won't do much.
Please clear something up for me here.
Unless this man's ex-wife was a non-believer, he technically can't have a relationship with any other woman at all because it would be considered adultry....right?
My family made home-made mozzarella,
and it was very good. I was pretty small at the time, so I don't remember the exact process, just that it was done pretty quickly, and a lot of milk was used.
I don't know if you'll save a lot of money making your own cheese. The cost of milk is very high, too, and you need a lot of milk to make cheese.
As far as snow, it's been clear. But
as far as traffic goes in general, good luck. I live only about 45 minutes away and on a Saturday it can take hours to get in, especially bad at the tunnels, and parking is also the pits, can be very expensive, one time it cost me $40 for a few hours. Is there a train or bus you can take? Good luck and have fun!
Clear up your post, who has
mother issues? Don’t know who you are talking about, sorry.
True, I should have been more clear that my ask to

Re-read that - boy that is clear as mud isn't it? sm
I went to see my family, stayed in an inexpensive condo (cheaper than hotels in the area), realized they had not charged me and told them, now a couple months later they still have not charged me. I want to call again and tell them but I am also very broke. What would you do?
NO, it is NOT clear; Why did your stepbrother's
wife and his children NOT inherit? YOU were NOT the only heir, as you state in your post...
'My father died in 2004, leaving me as his only heir..'
No, there was his wife and his 2 children.
That his wife remarried, does not forfeit her rights to her inheritance from her first husband.
You have nothing to do with them? You are the step-aunt and step-sister-in-law.
How do you know that she married again? It seems that you are withholding evidence to the authorities, so that you can cash in the WHOLE anmount!
It is MORE than obvious!
perhaps I wasn't clear enough for you
My husband accompanied my son to practice. The then assistant coach was trying to make conversation with him. He asked my husband where he worked -- typical question, like how's the weather? My husband answered honestly and left it at that. This guy went on to tell his life story. My husband did not repeat this to anyone other than his supervisor when he realized it was a breach of ethics for him to be around him.
Again, my husband approached the head coach about the situation and without going into detail about the man's criminal history, asked for a transfer. The head coach referred him to the league president, who asked why he needed a transfer. He then told the league president, who does the background checks and would have found out anyway, why he needed the transfer. The league president then informed the head coach, who who told the assistant coach why he decided to remove him from his coaching staff. We certainly did not discuss this with any other parents on the team. We had also requested that the head coach not discuss with the assistant coach until and if it would be necessary. We were hoping to avoid the situation entirely by transferring our child, not the ex-convict's kid. Silly us to think we were doing the right thing?
The last thing we wanted was for any of this to come to light. We tried to handle it discretely. I'm guessing you're also one of those people who likes to make the people trying to do the right thing out to be the bad guy.
Clear fingernail polish
I have never done this myself just thought of it when reading your post. Maybe try coating the keys with clear finger nail polish once a month.
There may be one judge, but the Bible is quite clear that any person
who denounces God will not go to Heaven. I am very comfortable in the fact that I have salvation.

The Bible is also pretty clear when it says judge not lest ye be judged.

If you want clear aqua water and beautiful beaches
or at least they have been in years past, try Cancun. What surprised me was the sand there not hot even with days being in the high 90s or so. Visited other beaches in Mexico as well but Cancun takes the cake. Been to several places in Jamaica but most of the time either Club Med or inclusive resort so mostly used the pools where we stayed. I had the best vacation though ever in my life in Montego Bay, cannot say enough for the fun my children and I had there - would definitely return there. Lots of side trips, just really good times.
To be clear, if you email through MTStars your information is private.
This had been an issue brought up in the past and I have tried to explain that we do not see your emails. The only email content we see are any emails that come from offshore IP addresses and that is because we do not allow solicitation by direct offshore services.
I wasn’t clear enough, I meant when others bath your furkids
Sorry..
2 degrees here in Wisconsin...clear sky...great night for eclipse!
Thanks for all the info!
Reading your post it is clear the love you gave this wonderful animal SM
thoughout her life. You were together for many years and you gave her a wonderful life. Please try to always remember that. A woman who cleaned for my mom cleaned my apartment once and when I showed her a dog collar that I have that my darling Westie wore I broke down. This woman knew my Westie and loved her, too. I cried and said I had some feelings of guilt that I was dealing with. This wonderful woman said something to me that might help you now. She said
"Just think of the life you gave her. Now think of the life she might have had if she had fallen into the hands of someone who did not love her." That really helped me a lot. I hope in time it will help you, too. God Bless you.
I've always let my kids keep messy rms as long as floor was clear & no food was in room. Bigger

At the vet office I'm at...
We either take care of sending the pet to be cremated or the owner can pick up the body to bury/dispose of as they see fit. I personally disposed of two of the kittens that died while I was fostering them and the last one that died the vet offered to give me the body to bury where I wanted or cremate if I chose. I would give your vet office a call and see what their policy is.
My first job was in an office where everyone
smoked except me! It was horrible! Grew up with a smoking parent, too - so had to breathe it in the car. It was on planes, busses, trains, and in restaurants. There was no such thing as non-smoking motel rooms or airports, and even in junior high and high school, where you weren't allowed to smoke, everyone still did it in the bathrooms.
YUCKKKKKKK !!!
office
i have an office in one of the spare bedrooms and i hate it. i tend to tote the laptop out to the living room couch and watch judge judy while i type. not even sure why i have an office at all!
Does anyone not have an office?
Not really office but does anyone not have clutter. Just a computer and a notebook? I'm going to be moving my office shortly to another room in the house and I'm looking around thinking "WHY do I have all this crap?" It is like I am at a real work environment with other employees, etc. Stacks of busness cards, papers, sticky notes, pcitures of family, funnies, cup full of pens, candy dish, lotion, card s and pictures from my family, little trinkets and doodads, etc. Do I really need anything more than my equipment, a pen, and a notebook?
Go with her to SS office, I think at most SM
you have to take a number or sign in, they will call you up, explain to them that your mom did not understand she had to take Part B or that your dad's insurance would drop her when she became eligible. You will have to sit back down for a short time, then you will be called to speak one-on-one with a SS worker, explain the same thing.
I had to do this with my mother - she had some misunderstanding of Part B and declined it. She didn't know what she was doing. We are only talking a matter of months before I found out in this case, but they did back her effective date up to the date she became eligible and all Part B claims were then paid.
Try going to the office - it can't hurt. It took about a morning of our time, but the people there were very kind about the situation and it was well worth the 3 hours we were there to get things resolved.
Run to the post office????
I think we're talking a phone call type of RSVP/an informal party invite. But are you now saying you don't respond to wedding invitations and the like either???? Just curious :)
When I worked in an MD's office,
this was discussed a lot. We identified 3 factors:
1. The rare but memorable mothball smell where people put on their best duds to see the MD, but they are from 1952, and have been stored in mothballs.
2. Corn starch powder, which has a very musty smell to my nose.
3. Rose water perfume. Everybody in the office would be nauseated when one of these ladies would come in.
LOL-your office looks just like mine sm
A conglomeration of everything but must make room for those babies! By the way, your dogs are gorgeous and I LOVE THAT TRUNK! Where did you get it? It would look just perfect in my front room.
wow that's wonderful. Maybe if we can get a dem in office
:)
Yes, and now that I work in an office,
other men act like I'm attractive and they'd be interested, so its really irritating to go home and be complimented, but it's empty words with no follow through. I think he might be ashamed of his body because he's overweight, but that's no reason to punish me.
Different places when no office available
I have been in just about every room of my house at one time or another. I started out working in the kitchen years ago because I had dialup and the apartment I lived in had only a phone jack there. The kitchen was my favorite because it was away from all the noise--that was when the kids were smaller, though.
I have had a desk in the bedroom before. It was handy when the kids were at school or hubby was home to take care of them, otherwise it was a pain because it was in the back of the house and if they needed something I had to get up from my desk.
The family room is okay, unless you have really loud family like mine. My kids must be deaf sometimes, I swear. Oh yeah and they argue in there over the TV the PlayStation, etc. However, you can deal with some of that from the desk without having to get up. It is a fair trade most of the time.
I had two different mobile setups over the years. One was laptop which was okay, but before WiFi, so expensive. The second, I had a desk on wheels that had everything I needed. I could roll it out to the back porch and sit there to work while the youngest was out playing. This was good for mild weather. Be forewarned, if it is really hot outside where you are, you may have PC problems. I used to have one that would overheat and shut itself off. Ugh!!. Oh, BTW, direct sunlight is bad if you have a laptop or plasma screen, so make sure you have shade!
I currently have my own "little room" for now which basically is the size of a really huge walk-in closet with a window and a door. I shut the door when the kids are home because the words "please be quiet, I cannot hear when you are yelling at eachother" apparently are not in teenager-ese.
Hope this was helpful!
Maybe the office has changed their
policy and will not just renew RXs without an exam.
At the doctor's office yes,
Everywhere else, no. I get frustrated when people don't come with a rewind button... ;)
What questions should I ask a potential new PCP's office? sm
We have an HMO, and I really need to stop procrastinating and find a primary care doctor closer to where my husband and I live now. (We've moved about 1-1/2 hours away from where we used to live.)
We rarely have to go to the doctor, but I do take daily prescription medications. We've had our current PCP for about the last 10 years, so it's been a long time since I had to pick a new doctor.
I've narrowed it down to about 5 doctors in the area here and plan to call and ask them some questions before contacting my insurance co. to make the change (which takes a long time to take effect, so it's not something you want to do a bunch of times if you can help it.)
The first thing I'll ask is if they are still taking new patients. (Obviously need to ask them that question!)
After that, I'll ask what their hours are and things like that, but does anyone have any suggestions for me as far as other questions to ask, or any other advice?
TIA, guys. I know you'll have some great ideas and things I might not think of. 
Was thinking he is just one of the office players. do not take it seriously.

I agree about the office politics...
and that is a definite plus about being at home. I like the fact that I don't HAVE to talk to anyone if I don't feel like it (unlike being in an office), but my schedule gives me the freedom to socialize with my friends and family when we want to get together and also be active in my church during the week.
They make the best office companions! nm

Yes and we share the home office
So he got to pick the scents at the candle store. He likes the pine, lilac, some "ocean scent" that smells nothing like the ocean, and some cinnamon holiday-type scent. They're all cool with me and I keep one burning every night because it's just nice and I like the glow. (I'm a night worker.)
Please call your doc's office for possible reactions with what you already take. nm

love Dwight and The Office!!
And you could always "UNSHUN" (also per Dwight) if need be a later time..:)
FYI-That's an actual custom in the Amish community - I just read a book about them called Plain Secrets. Very interesting!
That is weird. The techs at my vet's office sm
are very friendly and talkative. My poor doggie has been there so much they know him and are always happy to see him.
Pod people, indeed!
The Office, Lost, and don't laugh
but America's Next Top Model. My daughter and I are hooked. It is the best cheesy, brainless TV around.
My calendar is in my private office and no one
else in the family even knows what it is for. My daughter will even mark the calendar if I haven't done it. Just last month she came in to count the days so she could make plans for an upcoming swimming party. Just so tired of the speculation that all teenage girls are sexully active. Believe it or not there are still some good girls out there.
