Oh, really confused, thought they were 1
in the same. Mother always said where there is smoke, there is fire. Howard from the Anna Nichole saga sure has a lot of smoke around him.
they must have been confused and thought
because stimulus checks didn't start going out until Monday:

Well I am an aunt and great aunt
I spend a lot of time with my nieces and nephews. Even though divorced still hear from the in-law niece and nephew. I know that they are all different, their likes and dislikes and do something special with them that entails their likes. Not much money but time. Used to do Christmas crafts with them and the older ones over 21 still remember it and the fun we had. Like I have often said it is not the money you spend but the time and knowing that they like, taking an interest in them. When they were little -- especially my great nephews and niece, they would call and say that they needed some "special time" which meant that they wanted time with just them and so no matter what I would have going on I always had them over. I also never broke a promise or a committment to them unless I was on my deathbed and I think that they remember that also. And now that they are older - as am I -- they do more for me -- my 20 year old nephew and his friends took off my paneling and put up sheet rock in my living room, office and kitchen and did not expect pay nothing but lunches and Gator Aid. I tell them aunts are a little special and unique creatures, No matter if a grandparent, foster grandparent, aunt, cousin a lot of these kids just want time spent with them and for you to know them -- it makes them feel special. I am taking my second great nephew to Disneyworld for his graduation -- took his brother to San Francisco. So looking forward to that this summer.
I am sad and confused
I went to have my ultrasound yesterday and they told me my baby is normal BUT the bones (femur) is below the 5th percentile. I have to see a genetics doctor next week for another ultrasound and I do not know what else. Has anyone else been told their baby's bones are a little short? Two or three weeks behind what is normal? Could the technician be wrong? They only found one soft marker so is that not good? I am short and my husband has a big head when he was born. So measuring the 2 together you have a short baby with a big head. Please if anyone has been through this I need a friend.....
sad and confused
I have not been through that situation but can honestly say I know of moms who have had ultrasounds showing one thing or another and in the end, the baby came out fine. One of my friend's was even told her baby had Down Syndrome, but the child was born healthy! I would try not to worry too much and wait until you see the genetics doctor or have another ultrasound.
I'm a little confused.....
You may want to have more children but you don't want them to be your husband's child????? That doesn't make sense. You don't want something to be permanent in your life but it can be permanent in your husband's life. Don't be surprised if he doesn't go to the consultation you have scheduled!! I'm not trying to be mean, I just don't think you have thought about this very clearly. And there are other things you can do to NOT get pregnant. Good luck with this!
sorry, I confused the two

I'm a little confused...sm
As to who the dog actually belongs to and who is responsible for the dog's care. I say that because you wrote: *I had sorta adopted the dog....no place to keep a dog around here.*
So, I guess my question is this - do they see it as your dog too and they just agreed to keep it at their house, or is it their dog as far as you're concerned, and you were just willing to help out initially? (Which is what it sounds like, but maybe your friend sees it the other way.)
At any rate, now you're starting to resent it and it's affecting your friendship. So I think it's time for a heart-to-heart talk with your friend about what you are and aren't willing to do for the dog (and who the dog belongs to, and does the dog need to find a new home). I'd try to leave the son and his drug problem entirely out of the discussion. I think that's a whole other can of worms.
Also, are you sure it wouldn't work for you to have the dog? Our Rottweilers have all been sweet, gentle creatures (despite what you see in the media all the time) who have been indoor dogs who were fine with small animals. OTOH, they are big, strong dogs and need a firm owner. They can certainly be too much for some people, so I don't want to sugarcoat it.
It depends on the dog of course, but a lot of Rotties and other big dogs are pretty low energy and do fine in a small home/yard (as long as they get enough attention and exercise). Just a thought.
Personally, I'd want to extricate myself from this 'drama' and just take the dog. (Though I'm a Siberian Husky person - the Rotties are my hubby's love.)
To confused
it is not that he is running anything.....if he wants to live somewhere else....I would rather that than to have a rebellious child on my hands......he is good.....very good A's and B's in school.....I starting to think that people are really not understanding....but so be it....I would rather for him to be happy...not at the corner store selling drugs or whatever.....it might not work out with living with his sister.....but no one can that I did not try...children will get rebellious if they don't have they own way.....I would rather for im to go and live with sister than have to deal with the Po-Po because he is hanging out on a corner somewhere.....
More confused
Well I have to admit I had to look up the word disinfranchised. I've heard it but never new what it meant. So what do you think I found as the meaning of Disinfranchised? It means To disinfranchise. HA HA HA. Needless to say I had to keep searching and I'm finding meanings all relating to the revocation of the right of suffrage (the right to vote). So unsure how this fits to me because I can vote if I want to. My main point is that you can't trust what comes through the tube each day. Just when I said I was going to "curb" my tube input I sat and watched the debates and screamed at the TV, then screamed at all the news people. Then I heard a little voice in my head say... "you've got to get your priorities straight". HA HA. So I learn to take everything with a grain of salt. I still probably will not vote (even though I can if I want to), but if there is a replay of the NH primaries why bother. Thanks for the new word though for me to learn. It went right along with my word I had to look up when I wrote my friend and told her I would give her my "pithy" comments. HA HA HA
I'm confused too, but have never seen so many

Well, I got confused. Sorry.

I think you have me confused with someone else...
Calling ME a religous nutcase? I'm not even religous! Hence why I think these sickos need to be prosecuted for what they are doing under the guise of religion.
And why on earth would I want Harry Potter banned? I love those movies! 
I'm confused --
Let me see if I got this straight - You're married, the guy you've been seeing is married and has a girlfriend in addition to you. Woe is your husband and his wife!
I'm confused on whether or not
you have the 8 o'clock bean available. I thought you said you did but maybe you were talking about in the past. If you do, be sure and buy whole bean and grind it, then you won't have to worry about fillers you were wondering about. If you don't have a grinder, it has been my experience (and my mother's - and we are coffee snobs) that Folgers 100% Columbian has the richest, truest coffee flavor. Unfortunately I can't drink it because it is high in acid and bothers my stomach but that's another story...
Maybe the filters are the answer. Another thing to consider is your coffee cup. I bought a nifty plastic Starbucks mug on clearance. It has a nonslip handle which I thought would be great for me in the morning. However, I have noticed that coffee tastes much better in a regular ceramic mug. I save the plastic mug for hot chocolate. Good luck on your quest. 
I'm confused. If they....
prayed in earnest for forgiveness, then how does that reconcile itself with the following verses, especially 1 John 1:9?
"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16)
"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28)
"Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved." (Psalm 55:22)
"My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." (1 John 2:1)
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
"Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." (Acts 3:19)
"I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance; let us contend together; state your case, that you may be acquitted." (Isaiah 43:25-26)
"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus ..." (Romans 8:1)
"Come now and let us reason together," says the Lord,
"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." (Isaiah 1:18)
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)
"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace." (Ephesians 1:7)
Jan, why are you so confused?
You said SIL (mother of 2 children of my brother) should be entitled to receive my father's money. I only had 1 SIL- brother's wife. I really pity them also, one deceased, girl 37 and the son a druggie. Yes, they are to be pitied.
I was confused because SIL can also
mean 'son-in-law.'
And exactly, your SIL IS a legal heir from her father-in-law through her marriage to your brother.
You should try to find them and give half of it = $ 350.000.-- to your SIL and your nephew.
Maybe this will turn his life around. Put him into a rehabilitation clinic!
Then you will have peace of mind and will sleep better.
How did your niece die? So sad.
Confused?
QUOTE FROM ORIGINAL POST:
...when I hear someone talking and their use of a word is completely wrong AND THIS MORNING in a subtle way did a correction.
Okay, JMT...make up your mind. Did it happen this morning as you originally indicated, or did it happen two years ago as you later indicated in an attempt to defend not asking about the woman's aunt?
Enquiring minds want to know....
You aunt....
It sounds like you have tried very hard to look out for your aunt and what is in her best interest. Maybe now that her son has seen that someone is trying more to care for her, he may be NOW aware of just how much he really needs to be doing for her. Sometimes it's hard for a child to admit their parent has become so disabled that they need to be taken care of the way their parents used to take care of them, EVERYDAY! I hope your aunt can find a nice place where you can visit with her but of course, your aunt will always love her son dearly and just wants to be close to him like any parent. I just hope he realizes that.
confused mom, please see message
ok, when do you start talking about sex with your kids?? my 9 y/o son has asked me a few times where do babies come from. right now i tell him God. i think my 10 y/o nephew told him some things about sex (but this was when they were younger). i think my SIL told her son about sex when he was 7. i think that is too young. what's your input? thanks.
To confused wife...
It sounds to me like you've made up your mind that HIS problems are all YOUR fault...they are NOT. The only problems you are responsible for are YOURS. It probably will not matter what you change about you to him. If he's this angry and unstable, he'll ALWAYS find fault with you.
Please don't be naive and think that you can change him...you can't. Only he can do that and he has to want to change his behavior. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and name-calling is by far the most disrespectful thing one person can do to another...especially if the other person is your spouse, the mother of your child.
And your child is being hurt by these outbursts. She would be better off in a broken home than to have to listen to you and your husband screaming and belittling each other all the time. In the end, her self worth will suffer, she'll think she doesn't deserve any better and may actually seek out abusive men when she gets older.
You all need help, even the child. Go to counseling, even if you go alone, but take your daughter with you. It may come to you and your daughter leaving until he agrees to get help. Then if he truly loves you and your family, he will do whatever it takes to make things right. Don't wait around for the abuse to get worse, because inevitably it will escalate. Now is the time to think of you and your daughter first. Your husband is a grown man, he's responsible for him...good luck and God bless...
confused wife
It sounds to me like you are being verbally abused. I went through the exact same thing until I said enough is enough. You are worth more than to be reduced to a *itch. I feel for you, I was in the same situation for 12-1/2 years, everything was my fault. Research the phenomenon of verbal abuse and you will find yourself and your marriage reiterated over and over in the stories you hear. Believe me. You sound just like me and what I went through. You have nothing to lose by just looking into it. Maybe you will find your answer. Don't allow yourself to be treated like that one more day, you are a human being and have God-given rights. I will be praying for you.
I'm confused. Who is the father?

OMG - My apologies. I am sorry....I do have you confused....
I am so so sorry. I DO need to be more careful with my posts. I thought you were the one saying that the children should not be reuinited with their family. I guess I was just stunned that someone thought that way and all I could think of was what if the shoe was on the other foot. How would they like if their child was grabbed up from them without solid evidence and not be told why. From now on I will be more careful and make sure I don't post anything to the wrong person. Again I am sorry. I am not a religous person and I have been judged too many times by my "religious" family members (some of who believe the Harry Potter books be burned). I love the Harry Potter movies too and it takes me away from reality for a short time. Again - I am truly sorry. I
Sorry got a bit confused there, not a watcher -sm
of How I met your Mother.
Elderly Aunt
Kimmie-
You are being extremely overly sensitive. Your aunt is elderly - have patience. Continue to be kind and forgive her for what you perceive as rudeness. Save the hurt feelings for things that are really important. 
Dipper
I would think that your aunt would be proud that
a man who was not a child's biological father would take her, love her and raise as his child, grieve when passes away and refers to her as his daughter. My sister and brother-in-law married when my sister's youngest child was 18 months old. That child is now almost 20 and refers to him as "Dad." Her biological father is alive but the relationship is strained because she had a child out of wedlock. The stepfather, however, loves the child that she had and refers to him as his grandson.
Your aunt's comment....
''well, the doctors really do not want you to tell them what you think it is or what to do for any ailments.''
I don't understand why you are upset; she was talking about the doctors, not you, and her comment was pretty much right on. Unless I am misunderstanding.
I have some problems, probably fibro or a rheumatoid thing, and am going to doctors now for a workup. I do a LOT of research and I know a lot. But, in my experience so far, if you tell a doctor what you think it is, most will do everything in their power to prove you wrong or will just say no, if they don't think of it first. It's called arrogance and yes a holier than thou attitide.
So I guess I don't understand why this upset you.
What kind of aunt ?
You should have asked my brother about that. He did not talk with me for the last 5 years of his life because I married a black guy. He also decided to keep his children away from me. That was his decision. That was what he wanted. The SIL remarried, took her children away, had no contact with my mother hardly, their maternal grandmother (the mother of her husband, remember), no contact with the great maternal aunt of these children. Now go back and ask again what kind of aunt was I?
I'm confused at your responses - are you the same person?
Are you the same person who keep saying "what are you thinking?" If so, in one post you are telling me everything else can wait and the other you're telling me I should be fired.
No ruffling here, just a confused person
So I think I am understanding, you are saying this belongs on another board instead of here. If that is why, don't mind. I just knew was something seen discussed all over the place, maybe just not on gab, got it now. Guess Hubba started here.
Apparently so many confused on this issue!!
His aunt, who died, knew him by this name. His brother does not respect his new name and has been asked to call him this PRIOR TO ANY FUNERAL. Friend apparently does not think silly after having asked before to be called that - numerous times, not just now. Most women when they marry have a name change- would most of them want to go by their old names? Most, underline that- so it is not taken out of text, would want to have their new name. Why is it different for a man?? His family comes around his new stepdaughter and son-in-law and calls him by his old name which they stepdauhter and SIL DO not know him by. Those are his wishes and here in America, I think most of us want our wishes to be observed. Oh about who cares- he does.
No doubt you're confused! I don't know what's
going on myself, so it's a bit difficult to describe it in any clear way.
I know very little about diabetes, but my vision is definitely deteriorating. I had wondered why the nurse specifically asked me if I was a diabetic. I also know that I have a great chance of developing diabetes once my pancreas is completely destroyed. All I know is the last set of labs I had were very good. I see my doctor again on July 22, and I will definitely mention this to him.
I took Wellbutrin almost 10 years ago to try to help quit smoking. It gave me tremors of the hands so badly that I couldn't type. So I stopped taking it. I'm on a mess of medicines (most of them, gratefully, provided by the manufacturers' patient assistance programs.) A couple months ago, I started Abilify, didn't seem to have any problems.
As far as the problem with staggering, mine came out of the blue, as well. I was somehow thinking they might be related, but after your comment about diabetes, I'm going to do more research on diabetes because it's a disease that I know absolutely nothing about.
Thanks so much for your post and your input. I'm feeling like "Columbo" trying to figure out a mystery, and I appreciate any input I can get.
Hope you have a great weekend.
My aunt used to vacuum her cats.
She used to vacuum the cats, and they loved it. Plus, it got the dander off.
My aunt, who is just like my mother, told me
just this past weekend when her son sells his property, she plans to go live close by him and his new wife of about a year. I was kinda taken aback as she is up in years but always, always has been really self-sufficient and wanted to be. She broke her hip a year or so ago, recovered from that but still has slowed her down tremendously. She wants to continue doing her housework, gathering her groceries, etc. while having to use a rolling walker. I visit her out of state at least every 2-3 months and call probably every week. She would be moving to another state but the distance for me to travel to the other 1 is probably about the same distance I travel to see her now. I know in my heart she would never had said nor made this decision had it not been for her feeling the need to do so. My mother, her sister, has been deceased since the early 90s but she has taken me under her wing and now tells others I am her adopted daughter. She is really precious to me and I appreciate her being in my life.
Just read your post and my aunt the other day
was saying exactly what you were saying, was there not a good place that I could go to for a diagnosis on what my problems are. I do not know of a place like this at all. I can self-refer myself to a physician and usually do as I know about as much as the people I run into in the offices. After all my years of typing on all kinds of diseases, treatments and such, I do not need a person say 30 or more years younger than me to explain a diagnosis to me. I am sure I could tell them more than they could tell me. Just went to an urgent care place today for 1 of my problems and refused to weigh- the person taking history said I would have to because they would have to know my weight in order to give medication. I told them most medicines I know come in say 10, 15, 20 mg and I never weigh at any office and I see nephrologist, general, endocrinologist, etc. I refused to weigh, still got to see the physician and guess what, nothing prescribed! I probably have been in the medical field longer than this person on earth. on well, enough venting for the night.
My elderly aunt has just gotten 2 red marks
right under her eyes and she tried to see a physician today but was unable to, any thoughts on what this could be? She says bright red spots under both eyes.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I remember my aunt calling (sm)
to tell my mother that her boss had died. He was like a member of the extended family and the first person whom I knew well to die. I was maybe 11 or 12 and I can remember it like it was yesterday. I can only imagine your pain.
Sounds like you are indeed a Great aunt!

carpal tunnel maybe......my aunt described

I have an aunt that has it and she has to watch her sodium, did your sm
doctor tell you about that? (stay away from high sodium food).
We went to my husband's aunt's house once...
and they were having a get together because his uncle was dying of lung cancer. In rolls his three sisters and brother, all with their oxygen tanks and cannulas that they would have to take off to have their cigarettes. I found it fairly ironic and that is when I decided to quit smoking. Not the cancer, not the emphysema, but the ridiculousness of seeing people who can't breath because of smoking taking off what helps them to breath so that they can smoke. At any rate, I am not sure that I really have a point, just something that is interesting to me.
Did you at least show concern for her aunt?
See, when I read this, the first thing that jumped out was this woman had an aunt IN THE HOSPITAL HAVING TESTS DONE.
I hope while you were in the process of berating her grasp of the fine art of pronouncing various words that you at least inquired as to the welfare of her aunt.
I'm sure the woman had more on her mind under these circumstances than making sure she cleaned up her grammatical skills.
My downies vary a lot in size, which confused
me for a long time because I thought the larger ones might be hairies. The more I read the more I realized that hairies are significantly larger. The hairy we had yesterday was even bigger than a red-bellied with a very long, sturdy beak. There is really no confusing them up close. From a distance it is more difficult.
I have at least 3 red-breasted nuthatches this year. I just looked out and there were 2 on the tree eating suet and one on the wire watching the other two. They are so cute.
My aunt reported a Walmart employee
who left the ladies' room without washing her hands.
My aunt, kids grandmother, dads Mom.
Sorry for the confusion.
My aunt is elderly but her husband used to drink
This was the love of her life and they had a child together. They both worked, lived with her mother to help her out on bills after her husband died and everything except his drinking went ok. After finding him in ditches, getting DUIs, passing out and the like, nothing worked. After probably 20 something years my aunt divorced him because she knew he probably would kill himself, kill someone else or something horrible. It wasn’t that she didn’t love him but just could not live like that. That was over 40-50 years ago. She still speaks of him fondly (he died in another state in a ditch but had her phone number in his pocket) but I am sure she thought she always made the right decision. Myself, I just would not want to go through that, too much else to keep me busy. Thank goodness no children for you- would be really hard to subject a child to that.
Going to my aunt & uncle's house as usual
My husband, my parents, and I all drive down to my aunt and uncle's house every year. We usually bring something like pumpkin and/or apple pie.
You are comparing your aunt's boss to someone's child?
Sorry, just an odd response. There is nothing that compares to the loss of one's child. My heart goes out to the other poster.
Get this, older aunt of mine, DIL called and said if anything happens
to her- can you give me a call, in other words when she dies. This aunt is also great aunt to my son- I asked the DIL why don't you go to see her now (she is in middle 80s)- always an excuse, no car, no this, no that. She lives driving distance, about 170 miles from here. Just pitiful is all I can say- I visit her every 3-4 months and call her weekly.
