I used to get up and go straight to work - didn't even bother to brush my hair until after noon.

Posted By: MissouriMT on 2006-10-13
In Reply to: PJ wearing - MT

I had a holy faded T-shirt with Tweety bird (you could barely see him anymore!) and a pair of baggy sweat pants that I wore with big pink fuzzy house slippers!  Until I got caught several times with a little old lady from my church stopping by to say high, salesman knocking on the door, and the final straw was my nice looking neighbor stopping buy to borrow my ladder.  I finally decided perhaps I should brush my teeth and come my hair just in case!


Now, I get up every morning, take a shower, fix my hair, and put on my makeup.  Then I get the kids off to school and I sit down and work.  I have found that, believe it or not, I am way more productive than I used to be.  I'm not distracted thinking about when am I going to make time for a shower.  I still wear jeans and a T-shirt and my house slippers, but now no one can catch me looking like a worn out old hag anymore.    And now that I'm single, well ya never know when you might bump into Mr. Right.

The sad thing is she didn't have to give them up until noon on Wednesday....
and she gave them to him today...unless she is checking into rehab again you would think she would want to spend as much time with them as possible...
OMG! My mom told me that too! I ate the crusts and still have poker straight hair. nm

i didn't see the Straight Up Latte today :(
good luck with your search
They didn't bother to ask their victim if they'd wanted to live...sm
and it irks me to no end that we have to spend cazillions of bucks to keep these murders alive while appeals are filed. If this country got tough on crime then we'd not have the crime problem we have today.
You didn't know before the hair job how much it was

Didn't work for us
Unfortunately it didn't work at all. It was extremely painful and it did nothing for my daughter's wart. I love the commercial where the mother is using it and everyone is all smiles and poof the wart disappears. LOL.
It still didn't work for me.
I can't see him. < Pout >
Didn't work for me
I'm sure it depends on what you're situation is and why you're having it done.  They didn't really know what my "problem" was so did this first as a less invasive procedure - did not affect my symptoms at all and did not affect my menses at all - basically had no effect whatsoever.  I went through 3 more years of symptoms (lost insurance for a period of time).  When I got back to a physician symptoms were still the same and nothing noninvasive had worked (birth control pills, ablation, biopsy to check for other things) so I ended up with a vag hysterectomy.  Found out it was adenomiosis and doc said the ablation would not have helped that anyway - we just didn't know what it was at the time so tried that first.  Anyway, it didn't hurt anything other than prolonging my symptoms for 3 years - but, hey, I'd dealt with them for 12 years and would probably still try the less invasive route first - just be sure you realize that it may not work is my advice...
Okay, that didn't work. So let's try this!

My indents didn't work. :(

been to counseling, didn't work, does not..sm

This does not mean you cannot seek further counseling throughout one's life.......for whatever a situation is/becomes.......just because it didn't work with the husband, doesn't mean you cannot seek more out for YOURSELF and your children........forget him, he's a lost cause (passive-aggressives often are)....they are nothing but finger-pointers (blamers) and it's never at themselves.  It's a waste of time to be with one, you/one merely only loses their self-esteem in those types of *relationships*..........


Best luck!!


 


ok, sorry-I didn't realize you don't work for them...

bummer, didn't work :(

I've always heard they didn't work for
breeds like huskies. We have a 6-foot privacy fence and tacked chicken wire to the bottom of that and buried it to prevent digging.

The other problem I've heard is, how will your dog react if another dog comes into his yard? Could he defend himself from another dog emboldened by the submissive-appearance he prevents due to the invisible fence? Or would another dog coming into his yard be in danger from him? What about neighbors' cats? It may not be the best idea in a lot of situations, but some people seem to be able to use them.
have you ever bought something off of Ebay & it didn't work...
so you try to get the company to take it back by lying and saying that it was a gift?  You don't have the receipt because it was a gift, when it fact it wasn't a gift, you bought it broke and second hand. 
Oh, and on top of that my little animated smiley thing didn't work
so please ignore the last line of text in my message.
NOON is right - way to go, Kim!

Yahoo...Me either got on around noon been down since
.Me either got on around noon been down since
I have a balmy 17 degrees at noon in PA
It's snowing...again.  The kids missed another day of school.  One of the only drawbacks of working at home.  Can't call the boss and say I'm snowed in!  But, yes, definitely looking forward to spring.  I was ready for spring the day after Christmas!
I never brush my dog's teeth
I have an 8-year-old German Shepherd, and I have never brushed her teeth, and I have had her since she was a little puppy. She was at the vets a few weeks ago for an update on her shots and an exam, and the vet said that her teeth were perfectly fine and that there was really no need to brush them. I give her tennis balls to chew on because she does not like bones, but that is about it. The vet said that the tennis balls should do a good enough job cleaning them.
It's not the appliance, it's the way and how you brush....sm
It's recommended to brush your teeth for 2 minutes at least twice a day. We use an egg timer in our bathrooms to help everyone keep up with how long they've been brushing.

I have a Braun professional care spin brush in my closet that I don't use anymore because they went way up on the cost of the replacement heads (even on eBay). During the couple of years that I used that I would end up with not as nice of dental checkups, i.e. the gums weren't always in perfect shape, but when I use just a regular ordinary toothbrush I have perfect checkups. They say that you can tend to get lazier about brushing with one of these fancier brushes and I believe that.


give them a paint brush.

you need to buy the brush to put it on, total price for the first time is $28
you can apply it in two different ways, one way in which you let your moisturizer dry and the put it on and another is use a bit of moisturizer to get that "dewy" look. Also you should always start off with less (at least with our brand) because it is layerable for a fuller-coverage. Also there are 6 different shades to choose from so you should be able to find a perfect match.
"go brush your teeth" -- kid don't listen

You know, truthfully, I have a nearly perfect 7-year-old kid.  He's well-behaved, patient, kind and honest.  Why is it, then, that we have to have this big fight EVERY night and EVERY morning regarding "go brush your teeth."  I have to tell him this six to seven times before I am heard.  Then I'm grumpy about it, nagging how they'll rot, turn black and fall out.  My only thought is to try ignoring him when he requests something, making him ask me six to seven times.  That might work.  Gotta love him, but this really irks me.... Anyone else with a similar dilemma?


Rub some baking soda or corn starch into him well and brush out? nm

It's all a scam. All you need is a good, firm toothbrush - brush at least sm
for 2 minutes AND you have to floss every day if not almost every single day. Also, what keeps your mouth very clean are those whitening strips! Because it is loaded with peroxide, it actually keeps your gums and gumlines from developing bacteria that causes gingivitis.

I used to get canker sores and sores in my mouth ALL THE TIME. After I started whitening my teeth regularly I haven't had a sore since. I bit the side of my cheek the other week and NOTHING surfaced from it. For years and years every time I would bite my lip or cheek it would develop into a nasty sore. I thank those Crest White Strips for keeping my mouth clean!
Spending a romantic weekend in Atlanta with hubby. Leaving at noon. Can't wait! nm

It didn't work out due to combining of kids and step kids. nm

I think I have this straight-
you took a job without the new job knowing you had a vacation set up and taking right? Bad time to have started UNLESS upfront you discuss the fact you have had set up for this and that length of time. The job I am with now was started right when I had planned in advance for some time a vacation. Before hired, I told them of my plans and asked any problem? No and I have been at same place now since 2006. I never would start a job and then spring on them the next week oh vacation time. As far as advice, just find another job. If you put in your notice at first job, I probably would ask for that back until you get something else.
That's a straight lie
Last Christmas our church bought toys for the kids in the neighborhood for their parents to give them KNOWING that the chances of them ever actually participating in the church were slim to none. We didn't screen, we just made sure those parents got to give their kids a decent Christmas.

That's just one example, I can give you many more.

How about Brother Charlies, a "thrift" store in Georgia who usually just gives away clothes to anyone who can't afford to pay a couple dollars a shirt. Or the Brother Charlies shelter, who takes in any and all men (because most shelters are for women and children)

We have a conference once a month at our church and a budget list is passed out. About 70% of our funds go to organizations and food pantries. We have needed bathrooms and a new A/C unit in our church for about five years now but we are waiting until we can afford it WITHOUT taking money from the charities and pantries we support. Til then we will just put up with leaky toilets and hot summers and cold winters. God never said we'd get to be comfortable!

I'm so tired of everyone always ragging on the churches. Why don't you stop spitting the same ol' rhetoric that you hear and go do some checking out for yourself.

And before you come back and say you already did and they turned you down, then you need to check out different churches. Those that are OF GOD and FOR GOD will turn away NO ONE.


so let me get this straight. If there were a blizzard outside (sm)
and you have to go to the store (or anywhere for that matter) you're going to bundle YOURSELF up in your nice warm coat and let your daughter go with NO coat simply on the basis of principle???  And a FOUR-year-old sent off with NO LUNCH simply because they forgot it??  That is totally unbelievable and uncalled for.  There's a fine line between stating a point and neglecting your children and I think you'ved crossed it!!
Straight into the arms of someone to
support me!!!!
You really are not thinking straight
beause it is your daughter but first of all, what is the age of consent in your state? You have no more rights to knowing about his jail as you do in asking him to take test for sexually transmitted diseases nor in seeing his medical records. You are going overboard against him- what about your daugher- what kind of punishment have you dealt out to her? You are blaming only him- not her- I know when I had sex early it was me and him. You have told her you are disappointed. Well, you want to wring his neck- punishing her also?? You are seeing her as this small child when actually she is past that now. You talked - that did no good - you thought lines were open with both of you - that was not true- think about how you are going in a rage against this guy. He may be the worst there is but it was not rape, now was it?
When I get those, I "forward" them straight into my

gee hard to keep all you guys straight..sm
if you can assume, so can I. In all actuality, the torah came from all of our ancestors, but I still think you should read it again...wouldn't hurt. but at least you got the ROFL right this time. :^)
have a good evening. see ya. bye bye. nitey nite.
I loved "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" - nm

Straight or gay phone sex line?
Just asking because you said he turns you down, maybe it was a gay chat line.
Should I just come straight out and ask if this is like a weird sex thing?
My mom and I both were like, maybe they are busy doctors etc. etc we always try to see things in the good light... so should I just email them now and just say hey look... is this anything involving sex or games or anything like that? what if it wasn't and they then thought I WAS the crazy one and I lose an amazing opportunity! :)
You need to read the post again and get it straight
I said the place where we get the animals from do not "allow" adoption of this breed but having said that, I read and hear about their "sweetness" all the time on the news and papers and I tend to believe what I hear- you can go for it but I would rather stick with other breeds, thank you. Lots of pits not available through the shelters. Watch animal channel sometimes and you will see when they get pit bulls (I know in Detroit this is the case) they put them down, not able to rehome.
At first I just bought animals straight out
and had them vetted including neuturing or spaying and then we gave the animals to good homes. Without licensing, here you cannot sell animals. As rescuers we can just get any animals from shelters, no cost to us. Here in the south you have an overabundance of animals and so many just put down. I hear up north exact opposite. I had wanted to do something like this, like you, for quite some time and rescued a dog for myself, no where to keep, met the lady I work with now off Craigslist, stated she took in all doggies and kitties and would find them home. I gave a doggie another try at good home and I found a good home for myself! I can hardly wait for our rescuing to expand more.
See, I knew if I posted after the noon news it would be different after the evening news! LOL nm

straight up latte girl see inside
hey I know you said below that you tried your own version.  I was going to reply but was afraid that you wouldn't see it way down there.  Anyway....I like my coffee with 8 tablespoons of light cool whip.  Nothing else.  It's very good that way and may be similar to your latte.  Let me know if you try it!
Sorry about the typos, been up all night and can't see straight or spell it seems. nm

soak w/Windex, use straight-edged blade....

I hate this place. I really do. No snow. It's over. It was coming straight toward us and then
BAM! It went straight north! Atlanta was snowing like crazy. I'm only 2 hours from Atlanta!!!!! I am sick over here. Really. I had everything lined up at the door waiting to take my boys outside to play! Of course, we heard from friends in Tuscaloosa, AL, who had inches of snow and it was falling and sticking and THEIR kids were playing in it! I'm frustrated. My husband could care less about our kids seeing snow (he's lived in this area his whole life and has seen it maybe twice).

I on the other hand lived in NY and VT, so I am well aware of snow. I just want my kids to see it so bad, you guys.

Okay. I am having a major pity party. PLEASE, please, someone remind me (who is blessed living in a place where it DOES snow), remind me of how lucky I am to never see snow - EVER. Keep those lists coming because I need to be reminded of how lucky I am. Right now I feel punishment from God!
ADDENDUM. Just trying to get some straight answers and not sure what to make of this whole mess. nm

For me it is not about gay/straight - it is about government taking too much control of our children
That is a really sore subject with me!! I want everyone to live their lives and teach their children as they see fit. As far as the gay/straight issue, I have taught my children who are 8 and 11 about homosexuality, about people being different, acceptance, not to be judgemental. I just have an issue when public school teachers want to use the school as a public forum for whatever reason. In school I remember a teacher who had strong political views and she taught us daily her way of thinking. I don't think that is fair. I think certain things should be reserved for parents to teach their children.
Getting the stick sounds pretty straight forward to me
You could talk to someone at the school, tell them what you know, what you plan on doing, and see what kind of support becuase they may suspect problems but don't have facts.

I admit sometimes it seems easier just to look the other way, but what if there was someone that could have helped Caylee Anthony and "looked the other way". Follow your instincts.

If your suspicious prove unfounded you are out nothing but a "friend". He doesn't seem like someone I would want to be friends with and if his child acts the way you say, I wouldn't encourage a friendship between the boys.
get your facts straight. Rosie signed a school year

that was when her original contract was supposed to expire, June 2007, a school-year yearly contract.  ABC wanted her to sign a 3-year contract for the amount of $$ she requested.........and she only wanted to sign a one-year contract.......


I will miss her as I had given up the View due to Star Jones' fiascos....and now, once again, after June, I will never watch it again.  Rosie brought the ratings up because after 9 years of Star Jones, people were tired of the show.


Ta-Ta to The View and ABC.....


Crazy curly in the summer, poker straight in the winter
My hair changes with the weather and it is impossible to get a good hair style because it looks so different from one day to the next. But I like the color, natural blond with reddish highlights.
