I am sure she was good back in the day but she seemed a bit slow and rusty to me...would have loved to see Mia dance..

My MIL named her twin daughters Mary and Mary.
No lie. And now you have a pretty good picture of the kind of mother-in-law stories I can tell. And I do have MIL stories!
I thought it was great
and the new Christian story line is so perfect.
I thought last night was great, never saw that sm
coming. I couldn't believe Eric. The jury was hilarious and I agree with James, he's not the dumbest survivor anymore. At least Eric didn't look like he was very upset, he went off laughing about "those girls" unlike Ozzy who was really ticked off. I didn't like how Cirie played the game this year but I like the other 3 girls. Parv or Amanda will win in the end.
I thought it would be a great way to limit my -
intake of sweets, but NOOOO! Now I crave them more than ever. You can still 'taste' with the taste buds on your tongue: salt, sweet, sour, acidic/bitter. So now I tend to over-salt things, and put too much sugar on everything!
Oddly, I find a lot that has to do with tasting 'flavor' is in my mind. If I eat a strawberry, for example, without really thinking about it very much, when my mouth gets the sweet sensation, I tend to actually believe I can taste it (unless I scrutinize it too much). So I think ice cream and chocolate chip cookies are almost every bit as good! (Probably the fat content.)
Equally oddly is the fact that I will still stand in the cereal aisle or the frozen dinner aisle, and contemplate what I 'feel like' having for breakfast or dinner. Why? It doesn't matter anymore! But I still do it. Ridiculous! Old habits sure do die hard.
But there IS another advantage to lack of taste: Now you can buy the less-expensive 'store-brand' or generic brands of pretty much anything, from colas to Cheerios, and you'll never notice the difference! In that respect, it's saved me tons of money when I go shopping.
Did you get cravings when you lost your taste? I used to hate pineapple, after I lost my taste I started craving it.
wow, good job! i'm impressed.

I'm impressed. Very cool.

Wow, if this turns out to be right, I am really impressed!...nm

I just thought of a great generic gift
for secret Santas and/or acquaintences. It's not very personal... My daughter asked me what I wanted for Christmas and there's really nothing I want besides winning the lotto, so I thought of the last thing I wanted to buy at the store, but didn't because I'd already reached my budget... okay this is very not sexy lol... I'm slowly replacing all my regular light bulbs with the those new energy-efficient fancy expensive things, So I told her to buy me a couple. An inexpensive, useful gift, that sends a Green message! Being a messenger of Green, I thought I might pass the suggestion to all of ya'll who need an impersonal but useful gift for someone. hoho ;-)
so true, very insightful too. My ex thought everything was great (sm)
but he was bullying me around and never listening to my opinions or how I felt. Every time I tried to talk to him he would say, "everything is great, I don't know what you're worried about." I would say, "everything is great for YOU not for me." Not saying that you are that way at all Sally, but it is true that it is that way in some people's marriages. It was in mine.
I never thought of other countries - great idea - thanks
I've been searching on Google for vegen recipes, kind of getting a lot of the same ol, same ol, and some menu ideas, but never thought about other countries recipes. Also a lot of the recipes talk about ingredients I've never heard about and just can't afford a lot of trial and error. Just looking for different ideas. The foreign country ideas sounds interesting. Thanks.
I'm impressed with bravery of so many. Really proud to be
xx
To Mary
I understand about liability and I am still responsible for him.....the only thing is....I want everybody to understand is that.....I DID NOT PUT HIM OUT....He is always welcome to come home, visit, etc...but he will not have access to MY HOUSE to come and go as he pleases......
Well Mary was only supposed to be 13-14 and . . .
not everybody believes it was an immaculate conception.
Mary Winkler
I agree - what a CROCK!!

After viewing the O Show, I feel like Mary W. was secretly abused just like she said, little things would give you the indication, such as feeling like she was going to get into trouble for things that got broken, or for making a mistake. She was very quiet and it seemed like she never wanted to rock the boat so to speak. I am 42 and I remember going through the same things with my scared mom and abusive alcoholic dad. It took my mom 14 years to leave my dad and that was 30 years ago, she had 4 kids and no HS education so I know it was scary for her, but she worked two jobs and I pitched in too. I sometimes thought I could have taken the gun he threatened us with and used it on him instead. I feel she needs a lot of therapy, and so will her children.

the comment about inlaws was interesting. I know some people in Church of Christ, it is very strict on divorce so apparently Mary W. felt trapped in her marriage. It is my understanding that if one gets divorced they have to stay single rest of their life or until the fomer spouse is dead. she was certainly familiar with this doctrine.
On the other hand, how would you feel if you saw your husband sort of smothering your baby because she was crying which is what babies do? It might make you mad enough to do something drastic about it. Best course of action would be to pack up and leave before you shot the man. It is hard to believe that she was in some sort of trance when she picked up the shotgun. But she probably felt trapped with no way out and the cornered rat will bite.....
The shoes and the other perversions if all of thihs is true would also make one very very angry.
I agree that she appeared to be sort of drugged, obviously a sick woman who did something that will haunt her and her family for the rest of her and their lives. She should be allowed visits with her children in a neutral spot, not in the inlaws home.
Mary and Byron are still together? that shocks me. nm
;
and Mary Winkler gets 270 days??? nm

Bella Belara by Mary Kay
Its light and very feminine
Me, too! Were u on that board when Mary was still moderator? Nm

clarify please-u mean woman playing Mary.....sm
You do mean the person playing character of Mary in this movie got pregnant as a teen?
Welcome to the 21st Century, m'dear.........*lol* - not many couples are getting married today (although the gay community sure is trying to get married).....but the numbers are WAY down for hetero couples.........
in any event, it's just a flick/movie - what do you care about the actors/actresses who are playing the characters? 
She's no woman, she IS 16 y/o. She is playing part of Mary
and she got pregnant by her 19 y/o boyfriend.
If you whistle, it makes the Virgin Mary Cry
(I've had worse things come out of my mouth.)
Mary winkler on Oprah today
Would like to have a discussion on this and other's thoughts, especially after viewing the show or before either way. Very interested to see what she has to say and where are her parents? I would so not want my children with those freaky in-laws.

Ms. Mary Mack!! My kids still play that one!
And they run up to the ice cream truck still and there is a sponge bob ice cream with gum ball eyes or something. Davy Jones! I still have a crush on him, my sis-in-law is president of his fan club, and she got to meet him at Disney once (sounds like Brady Bunch's Marcia). LOL. You are right, things have gotten stressful. But then again, I remember my dad talking about WWI and the depression and having to deliver blocks of ice to people. Though, it seems to me even there were hard times then, people seemed to still be happier than we are today. Seems like things changed after 911, at least to me. I try to keep my kids sheltered (I know that is terrible), but my 7 year old is in love with girls, my 8 year old knows all the pirate words already and all 3 of my kids including the 10 year old could probably tell me things I did not even want to know until the third year of college. My goodness! I am sounding like gasp, My Mother! LOL.
I'm sure Mary Jo Kopechne's family is not as happy as you. nm

I love having a Mary Spirit in a Martha World
I am reading the second book it is called having a Mary Spirit, love it!!!!
Mary Winkler leaves near me. It is all over the news today - SM
Her in-laws are trying to get a junction to stop the local station from airing the episode of Oprah today.
Mary, I offer my prayers for the safety of your sons. SM
I thought brothers could not be in battle zones at the same time. Did they choose to?
Bloody Mary for breakfast, extra vodka! lol

Mary Kay's Intense Moisturizing Cream is what I use at night after I use the Timewise Age-fightin
moisturizer. It is amazing. My face is very soft and supple (can you tell I'm an MT?). I have an extra one if you need one. It cost me 30.00
I wish I wasn't right actually.....my mom was....sm
We/they all referred to my mother as *Mommie Dearest* - she was Joan Crawford's CLONE and her mom (my maternal grandmother) was Bette Davis' CLONE. Too much pressure put on little kids to be totally organized by the age of 10.....IT'S IMPOSSIBLE and not fair to the children - because this results in stifling your children's CREATIVE ABILITIES.
Happy for you that you are facing all that you are facing to not repeat (negative) history!! Have a GREAT, GREAT weekend!!!
I wasn't trying to jab you. Something's not
you claim to have ruined credit, working 3 jobs to pay bills.
Something isn't what you're making it out to be.
In my experience, people with bad credit earned it and usually have no interest in owning up to it.
you know i saw those but I wasn't sure about them
I thought they were a knock off of Yankees...but now I will definitely give them a try!
No, I wasn't--
The post about "stole my son, you brazen hussy" brings back memories. My mother-in-law actually kicked me following the rehearsal dinner and said, "Well, you finally got him!" I checked later and my stocking was torn and there was blood on my ankle. She had made this seem like a joke, but she meant it; I knew there was a friend's daughter she had wanted to introduce her son to after he left the military--I spoiled those plans. Left my home (small town) to live in his hometown (Atlanta) and never felt accepted by his mother or any of his friends, who treated me like a backwoods hick.
It's no wonder we divorced about 10 years later. My daughter is lucky that her in-laws were so accepting of her.
Wasn't in the least bit mean.
It was a simple question. You don't sound like you REALLY want any of them and I personally don't think that splitting siblings up like that is a good idea. If there is a home out there for all of them together, I hope they get it.
Never said he wasn't a pig...
he is one too. Water seeks its own level...jealous, no, just truthful. The woman is as much to blame as the man in this situation. She is a prostitute, he is a john. There is much more to life than using one's attributes to get ahead. If you had a daughter who was beautiful would you encourage her to use her "talents" and become an "escort"?
So maybe it wasn't
LOL Glad I asked. Something about putting dandruff shampoo on the face didn't seem right.
I am almost 30 and have had it since about 14. I took accutane and had great skin for about 10 years, now its slowly creeping. I'm preggers so not sure if its the hormones contributing or not but I don't want to take accutane again. I have tried proactive and just about everything out there and nothing helped except the accutane. I'll give this a shot. I have seen the Apricot Scrub in wal-mart but have never tried it.
Oh, if you have one or two problem spots that you want to get rid of quickly, Clean and Clear Persa Gel works great. If I know I have a special event coming up I will use that daily for the week or 2 prior and it helps a lot. It clears up any problem within 2 days but within the first day the redness is completely gone.
No, it's okay! I wasn't upset or anything,
just was confused when I couldn't find it. I wanted to post all that so hopefully anyone having these problems could maybe try the same thing.
Firefox is letting me into every site I use though, so crossing my fingers it continues.
Thanks for the tip about the degfrag. I haven't done it and will. :)
Can't believe he wasn't even in the bottom three! nm

Joy said she wasn't doing much, so he made up for it

Well if it wasn't for this grandmother
There would be no wedding. Grandmothers are the "chiefs" of our tribes so to speak. I hope the best for this young couple, but it sounds like they're being childish. Let the grandmother invite some people, unless their felons. 
ok, said I wasn't posting again, but...
 BRAVO...excellent post...I was practically jumping outta my seat reading your post...THANK YOU..and thank your daughter personally from me for giving so much of herself and caring so much for the otherwise unfortunate children out there. Her students are blessed beyond measure and she will surely be richly rewarded for her hard work and dedication to these children...again........... to you and your daughter (you are undoubtedly an AWESOME mother!)
That wasn't very specific.
You didn't say if it was noise, trash in yard, wild kids, or what.
you know, i wasn't even going to justify this --
but, ah c'mon... i do have to work. it was not a steak knife stuck in him. the incident happened while he was less than 10 feet away. like i said, i wasn't even going to justify your "concern" with a response, but your statement is absurd. you're concerned that i was typing and not watching my child ?!? do you have kids? do you HAVE to work? do you have a spouse? i am all alone in this venture called life, raising this wonderous gift of a cherished child. there's no one but me to pay the mortgage, school tuition, the car note, and on and on and on. i have no help from anyone. i could keep my eyes glued to him if i was on state assistance. get real, it was just a slight bump in the road of life.
Mom wasn't kidding - it IS all gone!
What a cute picture.
I wasn't trying to be smart, I was
actually confused.
I wasn't going to reply to this but
the more I thought about it the more it infuriates me. What child deserves to be hit? Should I hit someone just because they aren't behaving? What about when I'm out shopping and I encounter a rude person who is cutting in line/grabbing at things, etc, should I hit them? How about if someone cuts me off driving should I run them over and "switch" them? We are the adults here and children DO NOT deserve to be hit for any reason. There is always another way to deal with their behavoir. But then again, I guess as long as you don't leave welts its fine right....despicable
Too bad this wasn't your first comment
to her instead of the rudeness above.
it wasn't much mentioned or
talked about, but after Katrina, other countries DID send money and supplies and I remember right, a lot of money was given to the 911 fund. I wonder about the supplies turned away Burma a couple of weeks ago. I am afraid that instead of actually reporting news, we are dealt the canned versions and have to suffer through many of the same reports over and over.
