rather aged quite a bit, sorta frayed around the edges. I enjoyed some of the music entertainment that was there though would not consider going again. One time was enough for me.

Count me in!!
But sad to say I will be out of end of the business by the time (if) he makes this film....
DEFINITELY - count me in too....!!
Ok, does it count if
I was given some property FREE and then sold for 150,000? That was all profit or would that be cheating?
Does my granddaughter count? nm

Can't they cut off his leg and count the rings???

don't count on Emeril being there in MS *LOL*
Miami Beach (South Beach) or even the one in Orlando or New Orleans - but I doubt he's at the one in MS at the moment.....
BUT ENJOY!!! He's terrific!!!
Count yourself among the lucky few . . .
I don't like to generalize and know that not all men are like that, but IMO she really hit the nail on the head here, and in quite a humorous way, I might add!! I really enjoyed reading her post, but should be on the comedy board . . . LOL!!
BTW, kudos to you and enjoy that man of yours. You really are a lucky one! :)
just life - because I count everything
and when traveling I see things I would never see - like roadrunners and scissor tailed flycatchers in Texas when I was younger. I have regular nuthatches but this really caught my eye and I had to look him up. I have wrens also - always a vocal presence in my yard year round. Just saw a downy woodpecker - have not seen a pileated for years but my wasbund has them in his yard. Chickadees and titmice my favorites this time of year.
Count my butt in too!
I'm in Iowa and it's hard to find atheists who will come out of the closet here.
Does first grade count? It meant so much to me - LOL
Doug kissed me in first grade and then ignored me forever after that.
Tilden in 5th grade - he picked me to be his square dancing partner.
Lyle in 6th grade - had all the makings of an abusive husband, but didn't realize it at the time.
Tilden again in 7th grade - didn't last too long.
Had a HUGE nonreciprocated crush on Dan in 9th grade.
Bill in 10th grade - he was a Sr. so got to go to prom.
Dumped him for Chuck not long after prom.
Met Tom at church camp that summer - long distance thing.
Tim when I was a junior, who introduced me to his friend, Jerre, who ended up being my husband till this day.
That was fun!
I talked to a pet psychic once. Does that count? LOL
Seriously, she was supposedly a well known and well respected pet psychic. My dog was elderly and in poor health. I'd adopted her at 10-11 years of age, and now it was 5 yrs later. Her owner was not entirely honest with me about her background, so I was curious about that, and her current state of health.
I saw her flyer at a Pet Expo, so I gave her a call. I took notes about what she said. Some of it was accurate (if obvious/generic), and the rest was... well, I wouldn't say *wildly* off base, but it wasn't accurate and/or I didn't believe it. I don't believe she had any kind of gift, though it was an intersting conversation and she was very professional.
I do think some (very few) people do have abilities in this area that most of us don't have, but I also believe most 'psychics' are full of it and just do it for the money. I've never wanted to see a 'people' psychic, and I wouldn't try a pet psychic again either. JMO.
I'd count him out, and file the winnings.
As they say: you snooze, you lose. Boy, what a bunch of characters there though. LOL
Count your blessings and stop...
the complaining. Like previous posts have stated, at least your daughter calls you. You should be glad to have a daughter who thinks enough of you to call you and cares enough to ask if you are upset. It may annoy you now, but what will you do when she stops or isn't there to call any more?
Yes, you can "take care of you" and let this be "your time," but your kids will always be your kids. You can take care of you and still have time to pick up the phone or return a phone call.
My father used to tell the same stories over and over again. Did I always like hearing the same stories? Of course not. But you know what.....I've give anything to hear one of those stories from my dad's lips again but I can't because he passed away last year. The things that annoy us today may be the very thing that we miss later. We just don't stop and take the time to be thankful for what we do have.
Be thankful that you have money and are content with your life. Be thankful that your daughter still cares enough to call. When you count your blessings and focus on the good things, petty things like this won't get you so upset.
If I were his GF, he could count his remaining days
And note: I'll bet if he'd done it to a DOG, he'd have been convicted. For some reason, society (especially men) seem to put little to no value on the life of a cat.
Well, after hearing that story, I put no value whatsoever on HIS life.
Kids rarely help, don't count on it sm
If you have girls - maybe - but if you have boys the DIL usually hates your guts and it's not her fault, she was "trained" by her own mom and the "his mother" label gets placed. You can try everything, not complaining, helping them financially, buying her special cards and gifts, you'll still be "his mother" and you will get nothing but venom. Be prepared for it, most MIL's with boys are going through this. The son is not even allowed to call unless she's out of the house. So be prepared to take care of yourself for as long as you can, prepare financially, prepare your home, but most of all, prepare your central nervous system for total rejection. Learn to rise above, suit up, shut up and show up. Most of all smile and nod a lot.
None anymore. No wait. Let me count!
I was so busy working that most of my friends gave up and I can't blame them. My closest dearest friend of 30-some years died 2 years ago. We only kept in touch by phone in the past 5 years prior to her death.
I have 2 internet friends, one the wife of my boy friend (not boyfriend) from elementary school and one who shares genealogy family with me. He was the brother I never had.
Oh, and my husband. We've been best friends for 40 some years.
I had it during my pregnancy a long, long time ago. Husband

Don't count on getting it back. Sad, but it happens all they time. Look out for the girl sm
wearing that distinctive jacket. And inform you child to bring her stuff home with her. She learns a valuable lesson here.
whoops-I meant 12 years ago.....I CAN count..lol
But nothing is so much nicer than at minimum of an 800 thread count. sm
You can find those at Ross' for around 50 bucks a set for queen! :)
Target has 400-thread count for $39.95 per sheet
Do the Disney Chanel and Nickelodeon count - sm
![Roll](http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_21.gif") I have a 3-year-old and yeah some days the TV is what I use to get some work done. It is only scary when I am humming the preschool tunes when I am alone in the car..... ![Star](http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_8_7.gif")
The physician errors too numerous to count
I wish I knew why people don’t listen- could probably make millions if I found out. I went to have CT scan done 1 day - before having it done I said now that is for so and so- nope, that is not what the order read- read for another part of the body. I then asked them to call the doctors office to verify the part to be xrayed. I cannot help these igits that work out here now. I changed my regular physician because of poor doctoring. I NEVER EVER SAID anything about soft stools. Where he got that from who in the he.... knows? I said she was THROWING UP. Thank goodness not huge mistake there as I did not give her the Imodium but 2 times, otherwise she would have the runs from each end.
Do sleep deprivation hallucinations count? - sm
Somewhere on Interstate 8 between Yuma and Tucson,about 3 a.m.
Driving along and all of the sudden I see what I think is a giant jack rabbit/moose walking on the side of the road on a leash held by a big crooked man.
heeheehee Don't know what the jackrabbit/moose thing was but the "man" was a cactus.
At that point it was decided that we had maxed out the benefit of the Java Monster Mochas and took a short snooze at the next rest stop.
Still have good laughs over that one tho.
Increase your line count by chewing gum!
I have tried this off and on for a few months and every time I chew gum all day my line counts go up. For some reason they say spearmint is the best. I find that it increases my focus and keeps me alert and helps me type faster!!
Current studies are looking into three areas of potential benefits, the company says:
• Stress management: What's behind the common practice of chewing gum to relieve tension? Wrigley cites research showing that it stimulates certain areas of the brain, but wants to go further. "Consumers tell us they use it for that, and yet we don't understand how that comes about," Kumar said.
• Weight management: As a 5- to 10-calorie substitute for a high-calorie snack, gum could obviously reduce caloric intake. But does it help suppress appetite? "It's not that chewing gum has any particular magic, but it can be a useful behavior modification pill," said Gilbert Leveille, executive director of the Wrigley Science Institute, which held its inaugural meeting in Chicago in December.
• Cognition and focus: Is gum-chewing a way to increase focus, concentration and alertness? Wrigley points to studies that show that it increases blood flow to the brain but would like to see it linked definitively to higher concentration levels.
God bless ya! I can always count on my computer savy co-workers SM
for answers! Thanks again. I had that terrible question rolling around in my head all day and worrying myself to death. 
This will be a lesson well learned in the future.
I just keep checking my line count and adding up my money. Great job.

No, but I hate my lying, stealing, sociopathic brother. Does that count? NM

How long is too long to wait for Pap results?
This is a follow up Pap for an abnormal one a few months back. I have waited for the results for over a month and have called the office once. Any advised about being a patient patient - LOL. Its hard when your in this business, I think anyway, not to be more aggressive about stuff like this.
How long?
Crap, havent heard- 1 hour this week or 2 like last week? Thanks
as long as a dog
is in its carrying bag, he is in his space, not yours. Some dogs are sooo tiny, it is not even noticeable. I know of people who use doggie strollers for such places. Frankly, I am leery of people who have this kind of attitude.
I don't know what took me so long.
You can actucally understand the words and there is a definite meaning to the song. Although, when I put country on my hubby and kids say "my ears are bleeding". Oh well, I work for an ENT, I can help them out. LOL
Wonder how long this goes on. nm
:
In the long run they say it's the same or
possibly cheaper to sod. But yes, the initial cost is a little scary compared to the first treatment with seed. But seeding can be never-ending, especially if you don't water enough. We should have done this in the fall, but that's when our dog was so ill.
But not for long
The poster below really gave some good advice. The behavior she describes is "him" to a T. I actually had almost forgotten about him until the Lacy Peterson story came out. Scott Peterson looked so much like him it creeped me out. Good luck.
Thank you so much - it's gone on so long (sm)
What are the traits of a passive-aggressive person?
I do believe my weight is a symptom of my marriage. It all started right from the beginning - I was fairly attractive back then and got asked out by men all the time. Yet right after I got married, there was this weekly lunch with his coworkers where all the guys and their wives/girlfriends met for lunch - he told me that I could not go because, "I'm not exactly proud of you." I don't know why I stayed at that point - there were no children involved yet - but I just felt like I had to try to make it work.
how long has it been
that she has cancer? She is probably trying to give you comfort as you give her. She is a sweetie.
so, how long did it take and
does he have to continue the medication to keep away the urge?
I went through this myself not too long ago -sm
Definitely keep up the salt water gargles. I used warm water with mine. Something that gave me nearly instant relief was Chloraseptic Spray. Hope you feel better soon!!
How long does it normally take to get
labs processed? Dr's office took lots of blood this morning to check everything, glucose, lipids, etc and said she'd call as soon as the results come in. What's a "reasonable" amount of time to wait?
How long have you had the cat?
xx
this is long
I went through this with my son, who is now 24 and drug free. Take your daughter to therapy, and anything else you feel necessary, if for no other reason than to assure yourself you have done everything you can. Try getting together with the parents of some of her "friends," (she doesn't have to know you do) and just try to keep one step ahead of her. I used to look around my son's room to see what I could find, any pot - I threw it away. You just have to keep telling her, you are not the enemy, you are on her side. It is very hard to go through, I know, but they do come out the other end and you have your child back.
How long has this been going on?
How long has your mother had this type of behavior. It sounds like these symptoms; inappropriate behavior, saying things without thinking about them first, might be a signal she has some sort of neurologic problem or the onset of a form of dementia going on. You might notice if your mother has been forgetting things lately, seems detached. If this is not her regular personality, and this is something new for her, then I would gently talk with her and ask her if she is worried, under pressure, or sees anything wrong with how she acts. She might have to see her doctor. My mother exhibited these signs and symptoms around age 60, and then later was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. However, if her memory is good, she is coping with daily life and is able to handle things on her own, she needs a wakeup call. Her behavior in front of your daughter is inappropriate.
ALL OF THE ABOVE...sry a bit long lol
My children and I have been "cleaning toys" if you will and weeding out clothes to give away on freecycle. We put 3 bags of toys and 1 bag of clothes out there and they went to a very deserving grandma and grandpa who just took in their 4 & 6 year old grandsons. I am trying to teach my boys that it is not all about the gifts you receive, they are 3 & 9 so it is a bit hard to do with all the commercials and my 3yo wanting every last thing he sees. I let them decorate the tree after I put the lights on and they have a blast. We celebrate the birth of Jesus and attend church. First on Christmas morning we discuss the meaning of Christmas and the birth of Jesus and they enjoy going through our boooks we have about that as well.
I think so.....but it was so long ago- nm

as long as they get it right
I've seen people point to the general area, or to the labia, & call that the vagina. It's almost worse than calling it a peepee or a muffmuff or a kitty.
How long ago was that and
how old were you then?
For someone who is on her feet all day long
how about a gift cert for a pedicure. She would get a foot massage, pedicure, and a back massage if they have those magic finger chairs.
As long as you have an income
As long as you have an income you file. Over 70 is for social security where you can earn as much as you want and still collect your full SS. Boy is that was true all of the rich would be lying about their ages so that they did not have to pay taxes.
wow, what a mess to go through for so long!
The reason for having to file CS orders against both is that my GD gets a small welfare check each month, Medicaid coverage and WIC (for now and free school lunches later). All CS attempts/costs are handled by the state agency, not a private attorney. They now have an interstate agreement that is supposed to be more efficient, but hey, that is their ball of wax. Any money they collect goes to the state first to repay the aid my GD gets, along with all the associated collection fees...so I really am not holding my breath (might pass out! lol) on EVER seeing any money. Neither of them can ever have custody of the child again due to the laws in my state, so what I have is the next best thing to adoption, plus GD gets the aid. So, I'll let the state do their thing - they are rated very high on the list of collecting CS as compared to other states - and now that I'm done with court appearances, I will just raise my little one and let those that need to worry do it for me :)
Thanks for your support and advice!
