Genetics? All excuses! It started
with the pretense that alcoholism is a genetic disease. What a crap.
It's all about willpower, discipline and good morals.
SCREAMING toddlers
I have had it!!! Moved recently to help a friend ouit -- work with my companies has been low -- when I got here slept on the couch and had the puter set up I the dining room with my wireless card -- got the cable connection and my friends hubby BLEW up their wireless router -- got my Linksys hooked up -- no problem. My VENT is -- this house is "open door" mommies who are houswives -- and almost ADC level but "oh gee this broke that broke" but hubbies can be at the bar 24/7 -- when they are here the kids SCREAM all day and there is NO control, no consideration whatsoever and yes, I am addressing the "wanna bes" who want to be at home etcc -- dosent work till experience under the belt -- JMHO
Dear parents of toddlers
Please make sure someone is supervising your child after the church service. I love your kids and do not want to see them hurt. So when I walked into the Sunday School room after the service and saw a group of two and three year olds leaping off the table like a bunch of lemmings, I was very concerned.
Dear parents of toddlers - 2:
Do not inject them into other people's activities if they are uninvited.
If they weren't invited to the party/wedding/etc, don't bring them.
If they can't behave in a restaurant, don't bring them.
If they can't be quiet in a movie theater, take them outside. Better yet, if it's not a kid-movie, don't bring them.
Dont show up at any public outdoor activity (volleyball game, Tai Chi, baseball practice, dog obedience class, etc) and expect the participants of that activity to watch out for (ie, 'babysit') YOUR kids. If someone gets hurt it's YOUR fault. If you're too lazy to keep them under your control, don't bring them.
When diaper-changing time comes for small toddlers and infants, why do you feel it's okay to do this on a dining table at the ski-lodge cafeteria? YEEEUUUCCCK! If you can't do this in the restroom, or better yet, in your own car,
please.... don't bring them.
The same goes for hiking. On more than one occasion, I've come across someone's disgusting poop-filled Pamper sitting by the trailside. I'll pack out other people's (or should I say PIGS?) trash when I come across it, but not soiled diapers. If you can't pack out the kid's crap, then DO NOT BRING THEM.
Old folks hating toddlers?
I am older and just glad they are not around. Don’t want to fool with them, put up with their crying, screaming, making messes, pouting, crying. I want my golden years to be just that, without the brats.
I detested toddlers even when I WAS a toddler!

toddlers need toddler-appropriate terminology
a female toddler does not know a v-jay is not what she looks at in the mirror. Pelvis is more appropriate IMO. Toddlers want to see everone's everythings at that age. I can't see putting her in a position of going up to an unknown male and asking to see his this or that anatomical part. There are several sex offenders in my area - too much of a risk.
Why are we rushing to make them grow up so fast? My little one will get more anatomically appropriate names as she goes through elementary school. For now, pelvis for the front and bumm for the back will work just fine, TYVM.
Offered the job..
Had a surprise phone interview today. I have to figure out how to afford the job now lol. I might keep my part-time transcription job that I make 20-30 an hour to sort of even out the low pay. I did get the idea that they would be trying to get me to work in their transcription department eventually where the pay is much higher.. I'd have to think hard about that. I am so bored with it. Maybe we can work out a part time schedule doing both..hmmm.
Since they offered, take them up on it -sm
it is great that they are willing to do that. As for the smell, it will probably take a while to get the smell out, clean the carpets, wipe down everything with cleaner/vinegar, etc. Smoke gets everywhere and lingers. A good air cleaner/filter may help get the smell out quicker too. I hate smoking and could never live with one. They will always reek of course, but if they are outside at least you don't have it around all the time and your clothes won't stink as well. Plus secondhand smoke is just as harmful as actual smoking.
Dear people who are not parents of toddlers...
Please keep in mind that EVERY child is bound to misbehave in a public place at least once. My son is VERY well behaved for a two-year-old, but on occasion, he has a meltdown. This does not mean that I should not take him anywhere. My husband is deployed and sometimes, I just need to get things done, so please stop being so darned judgemental. I, too, hate a badly behaved child whose parents do not watch him, but if a kid cries in a restaraunt, sometimes there's not much to be done about it.
senior citizens babysity toddlers
Dear toddler hater,
A while back someone got the idea that all those people in the nursing home should be playing with all those kids in daycare! Guess what! It did not work! Why? Because old people were jealous of the kids. So the great american experiment failed and now the old people sit in their diapers alone and the kids get to go the movies with their moms while their dads are in Iraq!
Sincerely,
Defender of yucky, loud toddlers.
Dear mother of toddlers who think we all love
I see toddlers allowed to run around, screaming, yelling, standing up in chairs in restaurants, etc., etc. Most people who are not the parents do not care for this at all. We are annoyed that you do not control your kids. You have NO excuse for not doing so. There are plenty of times when one parent is the only 1 around so make the kid mind!!
I went to a psychologist who offered it.
I met with the psychologist for an initial visit and we figured out that my anxiety was more acute than my depression, and I didn't know how to relax. So he taught a relaxation technique and then I met with the biofeedback tech instead of him after that. She hooked me up to a machine that read how well I could do the exercises and from her feedback I learned how to relax. That's when I realized exercise caused that feeling also, especially if your rib cage is really working. Expanding those muscles with exercise seems to be a great trigger.
My husband offered to buy that too
maybe that will be on my christmas list. :)
I offered an explanation
I did not say every smart person has substance abuse problems or mental issues, I merely gave my opinion on how or why this may be so, since you seemed to think such scenarios were impossible.
First, i didn't ask, they OFFERED
some people just "amaze" you? Yea the ones that want to LIVE their life and not die from second hand smoke...
that's beside the point. I had to comment on that cause it was rude and i specifically asked if it was fair, and you had to be snippy.
They offered to smoke outside when I asked if they smoked. Im just wondering if I can keep MY stuff from smelling, in my room, stuff like that.
I think it's pretty rude of smokers to smoke inside when youre sharing with a nonsmoker anyway. You KNOW it stinks. have some class.
and yea it will be my choice to live there or not but I just had to respond to that
I was offered that option...
in second grade, to be promoted at Christmas break to 3rd grade. I was reading at a 5th-6th grade level. My mother, who had skipped a grade in elementary school, and then combined her 11th and 12th grades of high school in order to graduate during the depression and go to work, said "no." She said it wasn't a good experience for her socially and she couldn't allow it--and she was right, I would have probably ended up needing a tutor for mathematics, in addition to feeling out of place. I believe it's so great now that there are accelerated classes tailored to a child's strong points.
Heard she was offered Playboy as well.
Isn't this a sick country? Boy oh boy. Makes me ill.

How do you feel about toddlers being taught to call their private parts
a v*gina and a peni$ ? Just wondering
I have seen them offered in VERY expensive housing markets -
I saw ads for 40-year mortgages offered when were on vacation in Hawaii a few years ago. My friend who lives in San Fran got one. The prices for houses in these markets is through the roof and it is the only way most people can afford anything at all. They are not offered any place I have seen where I live, which is AL. I agree with the poster below about maybe taking a loss on it with being in it for such a short period of time and wondering what the market might do and not having much equity in it when you go to sell. Remember to add in your closing costs because those are not cheap! I would just start calling around to banks. Most will be very eager to help you out. They love mortgages of any kind! :-)
my company offered me 10 yearly, is that low/fair?
Thanks in advance...it is probably low but I will still take it. Was just hoping someone else would share their info
thought you said you offered to or paid for your children's
if you had that kind of money, that does not seem to meet welfare criteria to me.
Do you attend any free local concerts in the summer? Are any offered

Simply tell them this -
I do think it is rude of them to ask such a personal question. If they ask, tell them the opportunity has not presented itself yet and leave it at that and smile sweetly. :-)

I am not denying access to my house...my son is not banned from my house....I just do not see the need for anyone who is not living fulltime in a residence.....my house, your house, sister's house or whatever....People on here keep saying I'm yelling and screaming because I capitalized a couple of words.....
I simply wash most of them in the
I turn them upsidedown and swish them in a couple of inches of water. Let the water out of the tub and just let them lay there and drain OR set them outside in the sun to dry. Be careful if it is windy!
This is simply too funny!
Thanks for the confession!
I'm not bashing that - simply asking sm
if it were your biological child doing the bad things, would you have the same response? Hypothetically, if your daughter was selling drugs or making good money without being generous, would you still be having the dilemma about giving gifts? I am not implying that your daughter is a bad person, just that if the shoe were on the other foot, would it be handled the same way.
I know you are right. That is what scares me now. I simply SM
don't care about myself at all anymore. I have been lost in the process of just trying to keep afloat. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me.
My point was simply....
don't judge someone else when you have walked in their shoes. Your posts about the daughter you don't want in your life are pretty nasty and sounds like you are regretting that one. Yes using abortion as birth control is dysfunctional. Quit being so hateful!!!!!!
Simply don't let the other dog eat the others food. sm
I have a pup (2 years) and a senior (15 years). Obviously the pup eats a lot quicker and has the appetite to sharf his down. You need to start off letting your dog know that rewards come from proper behavior. They sit politely for their food and eat when you release them. They absolutely do not eat from the other dogs bowl EVER. Eventually they learn, this is mine and I eat this and not the other. The other dog learns the same. YOU have control over all of the dogs resources and stick with it. If you haven't been training then start with some basics like leave it and release for their own food and leave it for the other dogs food. Look up NILIF on Google and it really helps with harmony in any household with dogs, especially with multi-dog households. NILIF does not have to be harsh and can be used to have lots of fun. Believe me, my dogs are as spoiled as any, but they follow the rules and have fun doing it.

He gave it a good try and simply does not like it. ALso, SM
the thought of the bugs and spiders makes my skin crawl, and I am not a young child. I say encourage the other avenues of his interest and don't force him to do something that brings him to tears after he has given it a reasonable amount of time.
I was simply answering the above post
which said they thought a person who only paid taxes should get a refund. I don't have a grudge against a person getting a refund. This is not what the post was about. My aunt has not worked in years and years and I know she does not pay taxes, has not for years and she got a refund. Goody for her! Oh, as far as getting lots back on SS. When I start mine later on in Sept I will be getting almost 2000 a month so that is not too bad. Oh, another thing, my aunt has lived on her SS for a long time now. It really depends on where you live, your lifestyle, how you spend but she did and hers is nothing like what I will draw.
I read it, but I simply refuse to believe it
One in seven people believe it is acceptable in some circumstances for a man to hit his wife or girlfriend if she is dressed in “sexy or revealing clothes in public”, according to the findings of a survey released today.
A similar number believed that it was all right for a man to slap his wife or girlfriend if she is “nagging or constantly moaning at him”.
The findings of the poll, conducted for the Home Office, also disclosed about a quarter of people believe that wearing sexy or revealing clothing should lead to a woman being held partly responsible for being raped or sexually assaulted.
Although a majority of 1,065 people over 18 questioned last month believe that it is never acceptable to hit or slap a woman, the poll found that those aged 25-39 were more likely to consider that there were circumstances in which it was acceptable to hit or slap a woman.
Men and women over 65 and those in the lower social class groups D and E are more likely to believe that woman should be held partly responsible for being raped or sexually assaulted, Ipsos Mori telephone poll found.
Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, said: “Violence against women and girls is unacceptable in any form no matter what the circumstances are.”
Ms Smith said that more needed to be done to challenge attitudes that condoned violence against women and girls.
She was speaking as she launched a police lead review of whether new laws are needed to tackle serial domestic violence abuses and whether there is a link between the early sexualisation of young girls and violent abuse.
One idea being considered is to allow women to ask police if a new partner has a record of domestic violence. A pilot scheme that allows women to request information on whether a new partner has a history of child sex abuse is currently underway in four police force areas of England and Wales.
But MS Smith was confronted at a working breakfast at which she launched the campaign by a veteran domestic violence campaigner.
Sandra Horley, chief executive of Refuge, accused Ms Smith over breakfast at the Cinnamon Club in Westminster of using “gimmicks” and “spin”.
She said that government action so far had been “piecemeal” and condemned plans for a database of serial domestic abusers.
Ms Horley said: “We have had enough talking – we need action. As for the perpetrators’ register, it is a gimmick and doesn’t address the root problem.
“The majority of violent men don’t come to the attention of police and it won’t keep women safe.
“Police can’t be expected to monitor relationships and love lives of offenders.”
She went on: ”The Government is hoping to get away with useless initiatives like this register and it is hypocritical to sound tough and do little.”
She said that the cases of Sabina Akhtar and Katie Summers showed that not enough was being done.
Ms Smith tried to interrupt the tirade but was shouted down before Vera Baird, the solicitor general, stepped in to argue the Government’s case.

The family practitioner I worked for simply snipped...
skin tags off without local, as the injections caused just as much pain, if not more, than the quick snip. These were small skin tags though and the scissors were super sharp surgical scissors, not like the kind found in a kitchen junk drawer ;-)
Depends on your pain threshold and how squeamish you are about things like these I guess. Couldn't hurt to numb the area with ice or even Anbesol first.

My sister opened my eyes the other week and simply stated SM
that most of the people pulling this country down have children, sometimes lots of them. These kids have no guidance and only know what they see. Unfortunately, a lot of them grow up like mom and dad, thinking they don't have to work, they can take what they want from others, and they can just generally be an annoyance to everyone around them. Thank God for school teachers who are there to provide guidance and structure for a lot of these kids. Sometimes it is the only place they find it.
This was simply an honest post/poll made by a regular poster.
