I spoke with the super last night

Posted By: HomeMT on 2007-10-31
In Reply to: I am sorry to hear about your daughter - What?

to arrange this meeting today. I pointed out to him that the policies have a list (long list I might add) of things they consider as weapons but they don't list pepper spray.

I get the feeling that he is going to go with me on this and chalk it up to an unfortunate event.

Sadly, if things go the opposite direction, there is no alternative school. This is a very small town. We would have to pack up and move away in order to put her in another school.

Homeschooling is not an option.

Will followup after the meeting.

I just spoke with them and they said they were
Tomorrow will be 5 weeks.
You spoke too soon, I know of someone
who told me they were banned from this board and I know the other you speak of, not that one.
Well, the judges spoke about him and
what they said is the absolute. He has no talent, just a b-bop type of pattern and that is certainly not singing but not to worry, he will be the next off. he has had his 15 minutes and that is where he will stay. I see no singing engagements in his future. After this idol and the group tour, he will be history as we say.
When she asked if I spoke English, I would...
have said, "No, I don't, but thanks for asking" and hung up.
I spoke to my sister and explained your situ with the rug...sm
Without missing a beat she said "Well, just move the chair and place it over the ring...No fuss, no muss!"....  Cat
The only people who spoke English were the recruiters.
They micromanage A LOT.

I can't get to the company board...
I think this commentator spoke it best. Good read. I agree with him wholeheartedly! sm
This whole push to remove Christ from the Christmas season has gotten so ridiculous that it's pathetic.

Because of all the politically correct idiots, we are being encouraged to stop saying "Merry Christmas" for the more palatable "Happy Holidays." What the heck are "Seasons Greetings"? Can someone tell me what season we are greeting folks about? A Christmas tree? Oh, no! It's now a holiday tree. Any Christmas song that even remotely mentions Christ or has a religious undertone is being axed for being overtly religious. And I'm sorry, forget X-M-A-S. Malcolm X? Yes. X replacing Christ? No.

Don't get me wrong; I'm very respectful of other religions. I don't want anyone to be afraid of discussing the Jewish faith when we address Hanukkah. And we shouldn't dismiss Muslims when the annual pilgrimage to Mecca is held during December. In fact, Americans are so ignorant of other faiths that we can all learn from one another.

But this seeming backlash against Christianity is bordering on the absurd, and we should continue to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.

I know that may sound strident, but it's true. We spend an inordinate amount of time focused on shopping and buying gifts, but really, what does any of this have to do with the birth of Jesus? We have families all over the nation killing themselves to buy a tree they can't afford, running up their credit to buy toys and other gifts, all in an effort to make someone else happy.

What if families decided to forgo gifts, and instead, used their shopping days giving back to those in need? What if more of us went into our closets, grabbed old toys and clothes, repackaged them, and provided them as gifts to those without? Instead of gorging on food, what if we used some of the dough to feed those who are in need? What if we blew off those gift cards to electronic retailers and signed up with Networkforgood.org, and gave someone a gift card to their favorite charity?

Sure, I know I sound like a reincarnation of a flower child, but really, do we have to be so crass during the Christmas season?

Parents, don't be so consumed with the notion that your children will have a terrible Christmas because the tree isn't overflowing with gifts. The true love that you show them is more important than anything else.

America might be the king of capitalism, but secularism must never become so prevalent that our religious traditions are discarded.

Super sad
I took three kittens home from the vet to give them extra TLC as they started going downhill.  One died a week or so after coming home.   The second one died a week or two after that.  Tonight the remaining kitten went from playing to unresponsive in about 30 minutes.  We just rushed her back to the vet but I think she's going to die as well.  She's getting fluid right in her bone now and a little glucose.  The vet thinks they all had failure to thrive syndrome as none of them have gotten over a pound and I syringe fed them every couple hours besides what they ate on their own.  I'm trying to keep up hope for the last one that we've started calling "Little One." 
What I do a lot and is super easy
Is just take a bag of frozen vegetables, usually whatever I have. Broccoli/caul/carrots, broc/caul... or those new steam in the bag veggies. I just cook up some kind of whole wheat pasta, whatever I have, and then throw it together with the veggies. Sometimes I add some kind of pasta sauce or even just sprinkle with parmesan. If it's one of those packages of veggies that's already seasoned, that's really good too. I don't feel like pasta, I'll use rice instead. Quick and easy and you don't feel deprived because of all those veggies.
SUPER BOWL
GabbyChic,

I suggest you actually watch this game. Been a Steeler fan 30+ years, eventhough, I moved to Texas in 88. I promise you, this won't be boring.
We have had them super bad for years and were told
we heard about this stuff called Tempo and we found it at our local feed/farm supply store. A small bottle around $45, but we have used last year and again this year. The trick is to get them before they come in, which is usually after the first frost. With the crazy fall we have had, hot, cold and hot again, today was 70 in WV, I think we sprayed too soon, but there are some, but not the
thousands we have had in the past. I also heard dish detergent also worked, like Ajax or whatever, we tried this last year, but also did the Tempo, so I am sure it was the Tempo.
Actu7ally A&H Super Scoop is what I use, tho' cat
It doesn't seem to be the texture so much, as I've found even softer ones (the softest being Feline Pine Scoopable), but she wants no part of it. Prefers plastic or linoleum. Have removed all litter and just used:
a) Empty litter box
b) Newspapers or paper towels -
but the problem there is it's only good for one use, then the box has to be completely washed out. Not very practical, sanitary, or good-smelling.
Colts are Super Bowl Champs sm

Woohoo!  GO COLTS!



 


absolutely. its a disease, and a super prevalent one also.

3 yo granddaughter got super-glue in hair,
at her other grandma's house.  Is there any way you know of to get this out and same from cutting her beautiful hair off ?? thanks.
Having our annual Super Bowl party
Just a few close friends. We're having pizza and chicken wings and my the neighbors bring over various dishes. One usually brings over a great hot chicken wig dip and my husband will make chilli in the crockpot. My friend and I just like to watch the commercials. LOL. After we eat and see the halftime show, the kids and women go across the street for our own party.
Hot (but not super hot) chocolate and a couple Tylenol.
It's my Wonder Drug.
Super easy homemade pizza
Very yummy and under $10 Serves 3-4
1 lb ground hamburger or 1 bag of pepperoni
1 box jiffy pizza crust mix
1 bag shredded pizza cheese
1 jar pizza sauce

Brown hamburger, drain; set aside. Make crust mix as per directions. Put into pizza pan - bake 3 minutes. Layer sauce, a little cheese, meat, then more cheese. Bake on 350 degrees for about 12-15 minutes. You won't believe how delicious this is!
English Toffee--super easy
You can put down any kind of nuts you want--if you want in a raised-sided cookie sheet.

Cook 1# of butter and 1# of brown sugar plus a little vanilla to hardball stage (I put a little in a cup of cold water and if it is crunchy, it is done).

Quickly pour into cookie sheet because it is easy to burn. Scatter one bag of chocolate chips on top and wait to melt a little before speading across the top.

Everyone loves it and it is pretty easy to make. Once it cools, you break it into pieces.
Tell Us ABout Yer Super Bowl Plans this Year.
what are you doing? Making? Will ya be on your own or having peeps over?

Having our annual Super Bowl Party
We have one every year. We're having about 15 friends over. Pizza, wings, assorted munchies and whatever dishes our friends decide to bring. It's a lot of fun even though I just watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, and the halftime show.
5yo Daughter cut her hair super short...
She cut it so short on the front and on the sides around her ears.... How she got scissors I have no clue, because I am in my office and she didn't get them form ME!!!  URGH I am so mad!!!  She had absolutely the prettiest long brown hair!  I don't know what to do!  I can't take her to the hair place because I have NO money!!!  I spent my last few dollars on groceries until next paycheck... LOL.  Anyone know a good hair site? I tried to Google some.
They are such super family pets, and beautiful as well! Thanks for sharing. NM

How about a super glue/duct tape combo?
I can't tell what material the broken part is though.
Love his book "The Stand" - but that was a super flu - sm
that killed you quick. From what I have read most people live through the swine flu, no deaths in the U.S. as yet I believe. Probably like any flu, the very young, and very old have the most to worry about, and those immuno-compromised of course.
And Thursday night is safer than Friday night - how?
We used to live in a town that was once in the Guiness Book of World Records for number of churches per capita (which by the way was the worst place I've ever lived - discourteous, Nazi schools, etc.), and they wouldn't let us trick or treat on Sundays. Ridiculous! People can say what they want but celebrating Halloween doesn't make you a devil worshiper! Just my 2 cents!
In some places there are now open MRI scanners for the claustrophobic & super obese.

Great board and a super idea! How about fall decoration ideas?


I had the same thing the night before...last night though (sm)
made teriyaki chicken and macaroni and cheese from a box. Tonight is chicken and rice. Tomorrow night is leftover teriyaki chicken :-)
Yes, I used to take 20 mg at night

and this worked very well for me.  I also felt a little out of it for the first week or so, but give it time to work as I didn't notice any changes until about 3-4 weeks after taking it.  I'm sure you know this, but don't stop taking it altogether without weaning because I actually ran out of it once for about a week and I had really bad symptoms of withdrawal after the second day. 


Hope it works for you!  It really did help me a lot, and I got to a point where I didn't need it anymore. 


Do you take it all during the day or only at night?

I took that 1/2 a tab this morning and fell asleep on the couch after lunch.  Ended up oversleeing for my 2:00 shift.  Don't want to do that anymore.


I'm sorry about what happened to you.  That would be freaky to have someone jump out in front of your car like that.


I only take it at night. I take it about 35 min. before I go to bed. If I were to take it during the

An Okay night, Me2!

At first when I went to bed I was freakin' out!  I did not sleep that well, but them drifted off. I think maybe when Hermie comes home at night (He works at home, but has a job a few evenings second shift) when he check his mail he leaves the front door open. I think that is how they get in! He said he had three in about 5 years!!  See my post about Hermie. I'm havin' some unsavory thoughts!  HAAAA!


 


Yes, the party was a smash hit. My precious growled at me when I acted like I ws gonna take her new rope toy. I heard this little ERRRRRR under the table and cracked up. She loves to jump up on my lap about 500 times per visit, but last night those  jump-ups were rather limited. She was GUARDING HER TOY! Every time she jumped up I could see her looking to the side with her big eyes watching the toy on the floor! 


I will try to enjoy my day. Some days I am not really up for just being alone and doing errands, but today I am. I need to relax. I have had so much pain lately again. I am glad we are email friends and sure wish we could get together sometime. Do you enjoy watching the agility trials and dog shows? I wish I knew of a place when it gets cooler to do to just take a lawn chair and watch these fabulous dogs perform for the crowds!  I don't know if I told you before, but I went to Westminster with my niece and friend in 2006! What a thrill!  I wrote a song and sang it on CD and took along and gave it to David Frei. I sure wish you could hear it!  About a month ago I wrote another song about a dog show, but I really don't want to go to the expense now to find someone to play for me and put it on CD.


 


Have a great day, and read my Hermie post. You might smile. IT IS ALL TRUE, so help me TYNE! 


 


N/T Fan, what did you think about last night?

Loved it, but poor Christian, feeling so left out.  But still up to his old ways.  I didn't like what he did at the end.

We did that last night
We had pancakes and bacon.
When I was a kid we did that every Wed. night
That was our FAVORITE dinner! Scrambled eggs, bacon and toast! I still do that now, though not as often. I get hungry just thinking about bacon.
COF night
We do a COF night - clean out the fridge - where we just warm up all the leftover from the meals during the week.  Usually was something leftover from every meal or frozen in containers to just microwave as all it takes is adding a bit to the weekly meals.  Everyone seems to like it and finds plenty - just get out some applesauce or fruit to add and we are good.  Sometimes throw in a batch of cornmeal muffins. 
We have it almost every night unless

We've been married for 16 years.  I don't know what the average is, but I guess you have to really want it.


AI last night
I was very happy with last night's outcome. I love Adam and I think Allison is amazing for being so young. Not too sure about Chris. I really don't like the way they're doing the voting at all this year, though because I thought there were more than 3 that should have gone through this round and last round. It will be interesting to see who their wild card picks are going to be. Did you know that Clay was a wild card and he ended up coming in second and being pretty successful.
Well, how did you like last night?
I think the final 13 are about the best I have seen in several years now. Started off with a bang. I loved Danny, Lil and dog it, cannot think of the other's names yet. The group really is hot. I am glad to see it back as a contest of singing, hopefully not a contest of who is the most popular. This is a good group to choose from.
AI last night
I thought most of them did an awesome job. I did miss a few, but my favorites so far are Adam, Danny, Matt, Lil Rounds and Alexis, although I do think the judges were right last night and she was a little too over the top. Now what do you think about what they said last night about the big change? I was a little worried at first, but then on The View, Elizabeth was thinking that maybe it has something to do with the way the votes are done this year. She thinks that maybe the judges will have a say this year and not just the voters. If that's the case, I may like it. That way if America votes off someone and the judges think they were wrong, they can keep them. Not sure if this is what it is or not, but it made sense -- don't make it a popularity contest, but a real competition. She likened it to Sanjaya where he basically stayed because he was so popular.
Last night's AI
I personally cannot stand country music so last night was tough for me to watch but I am wowed by the talent this year. It's hard to say who should be in the top 4. Love the young 16 yo rocker girl and also love Megan. She reminds me a little of Joss Stone.
But it is the next day, was on last Night. NM

On a slightly different night...

...one of our previous pastors was called on the carpet for putting up a few Halloween decorations on his own propery.  Not by anyone in our congregation, but by a stranger.  They told him he should "know better."


I also don't know what decorating for Halloween has to do with those poor Amish girls, either.  Weird.  I decorate for fall more than Halloween, especially since my kids don't like to carve Jack-o-lanterns anymore, and Halloween has never been my thing since I was a little kid and the neighborhood teenagers had me scared out of my wits, but it sounds like you have fun!!


20/20 had a special on E-Bay the other night,
warning about scam sellers - it was actually a repeat though they touted the show as new. On the test buys they ran, all the sellers who scammed them in one way or another had 98% or above feedback. The feedback means nothing, really, as there are lots of ways to remove it - i.e. paying for it to be removed, and also lots of feedback blackmail, where most buyers are too wimpy to leave a negative, as it means they will get one, too. So the feedback system is not valid at all.
I've used it.. best to take at night.
It does make you sleepy but not like out of it or anything. It definitely helps calm you down. I have never taken it on a FT basis as I was scared of being hooked on them as I know they are addictive. I just take them when I'm extremely stressed out.
so who got the boot last night?
Was it the results show? I haven't really kept up with it this year, just can't seem to get into it...but I did see Lakisha and LOVED her!
last night on Nat'l Geographics.....sm

I get what you're pointing out - makes no sense (esp the teacher-child molestation issues)....


On TV last night was a program on the Miami Drug Cartel from the 1970s thru the 80s and into the 90s.....it was so interesting to see how this city was built up......and so much of it was from the drug business, laundering money out of country, and returning it back to Miami in the form of constructing new sky scrapers everywhere and the cigarette racing boats


.......it's going to be on several times this week on Nat'l Geographic TV but worth checking out.......all appeared to be white collar crime too....most of these people (who are now quite elderly or getting quite elderly) were sharing their drug-running stories and not from jail.  It was riveting to see how it all came about, how it evolved, and how it changed drastically during the Reagan era....and how *crack cocaine* came to be and how that particular drug has taken down so many from so many walks of life.


Drugs are a big factor in why people make these bad choices that they do - what you were pointing out..........studying, getting degreed, and then thrrowing it all away...and that's what was shown on this TV show!!! 


Very sad, indeed!!!

did you even WATCH last night?

in Africa and in the Adirondacks in this country and NOLA.  This was not the usual american idol - no one got booted off the show and they collected MILLIONS of dollars during this 2-hour special.


Unless you watched it last night, best hold your tongue because you have no clue.......last night was not a REALITY show American Idol -


AGAIN, IT WAS A TELETHON.......


You won't see the bugs, they only come out at night....
when you are sleeping.
Something did occur to us last night sm
At about the same time this started, we bought a small tree for the front yard. We first got a Crimson Queen maple, but it would have gotten too much sun where we wanted to put it, so my husband took it back and we got a wisteria standard instead. He was manhandling these trees (in pots) into the back of his car, and the worst areas of the rash are areas where the pot would have touched him when he was trying to get it into the car. Both pots were dripping water. So it is possible that either there was something in one of the trees that caused this reaction, something in the water (fertilizer, etc.), something in the soil in the pots - who knows? But we're hoping that was the origin as we aren't planning on buying any new trees for a while!
