I would wait three - four months. I was going into my fourth month when I had my miscarriage.

I think everyone should wait at least 3 months.

For my fourth, yes, that is right, my 4th
we went to Las Vegas. Great wedding, beautiful chapel in 1 of the major hotels (not those little slimy looking places). Just the preacher, hubs and myself. We enjoyed so much have gone back loads of time, no gambler but just love visiting. Absolutely no fuss but then on your 2nd you might want the fuss.
A second to that! Happy Fourth of July....
we live in the greatest country in the world. Regardless of what you think about the war, the president, etc., we are afforded the privilege of being Americans. I certainly don't see people flocking to Mexico, Europe, or Asia to become citizens! Have a wonderful day, no matter what you are doing!
I second, uh third, well, fourth, whatever all the good wishes. nm

Fourth largest city in US
with strong sense of pride and community, economically sound, cutting edge medical facilities, greatest mayor ever, friendly folks, culture of all sorts and decidedly international in nature.
Yes, they do. 10-month teachers make more than 9-month
teachers. I know that for a fact. One of my sisters was a 9-month, one is a 10-month. They are compensated for working more scheduled hours.
Yes, especially if you are on a month-to-month basis
My mother had rental properties and has evicted tenants twice because her daughter (sis) decided she wanted to live there. Those tenants were pretty upset at the time too, because they didn't want to move. A landlord isn't required to have a reason for taking back their property or raising the rent. They will likely give you a good reference since you're been a good tenant.
A year after Katrina, all the landlords on the Gulf Coast decided to double or triple their rent, just because they could. Due to the housing crisis rents are going to continue to rise, because more people are losing their homes and looking for apartments. Its all about supply and demand.
The bright side is that working at home allows you to live "anywhere", so you could see this as an opportunity to move somewhere completely different. That's what I did, and I haven't regretted it.
If it is a month-to-month lease -
If there is no signed lease stating a specific time (1 yr, 2 yr, etc.) then it is implied as a month-to-month least and either the tenant or LL can terminate at any time.
I would look for a place pronto if I was the OP.
And she should get another job pronto too if the one she got ain't paying the bills. No reason to let it go on month after month, paycheck after paycheck, until you are in the street, that is just plain stupid.
If she is getting evicted --- there is more to this story I believe.
No wait, wait... 'mere Mom, me and my friends
can all drink it too. Come on guyz... my Mom won't mind, have a drink and have some fun. Bring the chocolate syrup! Doesn't she have big nipples. "My Dad likes 'em too and my baseball coach! 
We did after our miscarriage
My husband was worried about Gulf War Syndrome so they tested the remains. It turned out to be trisomy 22, which is very common, and the doctor said we should be able to get pregnant again. (It was a boy, too.) We did get pregnant again...that time twin girls who are now 2 and healthy!!
I had a miscarriage before
but I was the 1 pregnant and then I was pregnant after then, no testing and I bore a female later on. My husband donated sperm but I just wish he had been the 1 pregnant and had some of that pain!!
RE: Miscarriage
Hi Sixteen years ago I suffered two miscarriages. The first one I was just almost 5 months pregnant and had to deliver him. He lived for 1/2 hour and to be honest with you I think of him often. I then became pregnant again 3 months afterwards and lost that baby when I was 8 weeks. I remember not being able to walk into the mall because I would see all the mothers with their strollers and I would break down. Commercials on TV made me cry. What helped me is I wrote a journal about my feelings and things do get better. I had two healthy daughters after those two miscarriages..it does get better....but you do need to grieve.....My sympathy to you. Take care.
re: miscarriage
HI,
I don't remember how long it took for my periods to come back because it was over 17 years ago. I was 8 wks along in that pregnancy.
I too had a miscarriage
It was my first child and even now, 30 years later, I still remember how difficult that was. I had to deal with guilt feelings from that (was it something I did? Was I being punished for not being thrilled that I was pregnant?) I did go on to have three beautiful, perfect baby boys who are now grown into wonderful young men. But I still sometimes think about the one I lost.
You are in my prayers.
I had a miscarriage Friday night...sm
8 weeks into the pregnancy. Yesterday I e-mailed my friends/family the entries I had made in a journal starting the day after I found out I was pregnant. If you're interested in reading the various emotions that I've (and others that have been through a similar situation) been through then keep reading (Rick is my husband, Kyley is my stepdaughter and Kerstin is our foster child we're adopting)....
October 21, 2006:
Yesterday we found out that we were going to be your parents. Your dad & I were VERY excited when the home pregnancy test was positive & later in the day Dr. Desai confirmed that I am 4-5 weeks pregnant with you. I've had dreams for a couple of months that we had a baby and for the past 2 weeks I've had dreams every night about having you & your being at various ages from pregnancy to newborn to toddler age. I fully believe God was telling me through my creams that you were already growing in me & I didn't realize it yet.
I love your dad VERY much & we very much want you and have planned for you from the day we got married. We haven’t told anyone else about you except for my friend Lisa but will tell the others soon. We know that everyone will be excited to know that you’re joining our family.
Over the past week I’ve had a few times where I felt like you do when you go over a dip in the road too fast. I know these sensations are you moving around in my womb. Dad is already rubbing my tummy & talking to you because we want you to know how much we love you. I love saying things to you & rubbing my belly as well – it feels so good knowing you’re in there – God’s gift to us. We love you! Mom
October 22nd:
Today we told Kyley, Kerstin, grandparents, aunts & uncles about you. Everyone is excited & eager to meet you next summer. Kerstin was so happy she danced & kept screaming “we’re going to have a baby!” then asked me to take her to Target to buy you some things. She wanted to buy you a lot of things but I told her that we had to hold off a little bit as we could get somethings now & more later. I love you, baby Oldham! Mom
October 23rd:
Today we told our friends about you. They’re all eager to meet you in the future! For lunch I had Spaghetti-O’s and about an hour later I could feel you moving all around – so I think you like them!
Kertsin likes talking to you & telling you that she loves you whether you’re a boy or a girl – but she thinks she wants a brother. We’ll see as time progresses. Love, Mom.
October 25th:
Kerstin stopped people in the hallways at choir tonight telling them about you. We’re so excited!
October 29th:
We had a busy weekend, baby. Your nana sent you some booties. We went to Kerstin’s soccer game, the Smyrna Jonquil Festival, church & Drew’s soccer game and and didn’t make me feel sick at all. However, some Wendy’s french fries with supper didn’t settle well with indigestion agalore. Dad & I love you & are excited that this week you grow arms, legs, eye rims, intestines & pancreas. You’ll be quite busy for sure! Love, Mom.
October 30th:
Hello sweetheart! I continue to have occasional sensations of you & love every minute of it & knowing you’re growing inside of me. You are very much loved by me, your dad and sisters. Love forever, Mom.
October 31st:
We had our 1st Halloween with your being a part of our family. While at the church fall festival tonight Rick & I looked at the babies there & commented that next year you’ll be 4 months old by then. We can’t wait to dress you up & show you off!
Your dad has given me 2 very sweet toy stuffed baby dolls to remind me of your coming in the future. Your have a GREAT dad who is very excited to have you growing in me. We all love you very much! Love, Mom.
November 2nd:
Hi angel from God! I love you & want you to know that you are a true gift from God to your dad & myself. We love you immensely. Love, Mom.
November 5th:
Hi Sweetie! You’re entering your 7th week of growth. This week you’ll start developing your fingers, toes, eyes, ears, nose, intestines, & teeth. Dad & I are very excited thinking about seeing you on ultrasound on the 13th. We love you immensely & look forward to being your Mom & Dad. Love, Mom
November 7th:
Hello honey! I’ve had yet another wonderful day with you continuing to grow inside of me. I still have indigestion after eating & occasional flutter sensations, but both are neat because I know that they come from you. Dad & I love you VERY much! Love, Mom
November 9th:
Hi “Baby O” – life has been great this week knowing you’re working hard at growing to be an incredible child. Your dad & I went to an OB class at the doctor’s office tonight where they talked about your upcoming arrival. We both love you VERY much & look forward to your 1st photograph on Monday. Love, Mom.
November 11th:
Little angel, we had a good day today. Dad, Kyley, Kerstin & I went to the zoo & we look forward to taking you there in the future. Dad & I went to Hobby Lobby where dad picked the softest yarn for me to make you an afghan with. I started this project tonight. You’ve had a busy week with all of the growing you had scheduled to complete. In 2 days we get to see how well you’re doing. We love you! Mom & Dad
November 13th:
Hello honey, we went to the doctor’s office today for the ultrasound & found out that you’re not as big as we expected. They drew lab work on me & will repeat it on Wednesday to see if you’re OK. Dad & I are trying to not worry & remember that your life is in God’s hands. We’re praying that He hasn’t called you to heaven & that you’ll continue to be with us still here on earth. We love you sweetie. Love, Mom
November 14th:
Little angel, Dad & I were at the doctor’s office again today because I started having some bleeding this morning. Dr. Morell & the staff were great & sympathetic, and it’s too early to know what will happen. The good news is that you are still in me. I’ll go back tomorrow for more blood work. They’ve put me at bedrest for a couple of days. Dad dreamed last night that you were OK so we’re trying to stay positive with that & my dreams I’ve had before & after we found out that I was pregnant & you were fine. You’re in God’s hands now for the final outcome. We love you honey. Love always, Mom.
November 15th:
Hello sweetie! We found out that yesterday’s HCG level was good & high. Tomorrow we get the results of the Monday & today’s tests. We continue to hop & pray that the numbers are going up. I didn’t work today. The bleeding is less but still present. We’re still rooting for you honey. We love you very much! Love, Mom
November 16th:
Hi honey! We found out this morning that my lab work was inconclusive so they’re repeating the HCG tomorrow. We’ve got a lot of people praying for you, Dad & I that you’ll continue to grow & this scare will end soon. I did work today but was able to take breaks to rest & didn’t do much of anything else. Dad & I love you tons. Love, Mom
November 18th:
Hello little angel in heaven. Dad & I were devastated to find out that you will not be joining us here on earth but instead are already in heaven on yesterday. Please know that we both loved you while you were in my womb & look forward to the day in our future when we meet you in heaven. We love you, Mom
After suffering a miscarriage, I'm pregnant again!....sm
I had a miscarriage in November at 8 weeks after having abnormal test results and got pregnant after my first period in December. I'm now 7-1/2 weeks and the baby looks great on the ultrasound and blood work they drew. I'm due on September 14th and my husband & I are tickled pink (or is that blue?)
For those of you who responded to my post in November about having the miscarriage thanks for the support and encouraging us to try again. I've had a lot of women tell me that they had a successful pregnancy after a miscarriage and while the emotional pain of the miscarriage is still there, it was comforting to know I wasn't alone.
I suffered a miscarriage with my 1st pregancy
and got pregnant VERY easily immediately after they told me that we could start trying again and now have a beautiful, healthy 8 y/o that happens to share her b-day with your due date! Congratulations! :)
Anyone have genetics testing after a miscarriage? sm
If so, did the testing reveal any possible reasons for the miscarriage and prevention methods for future pregnancies? Did you get pregnant after that and did you successfully carry the pregnancy?
Miscarriage survivor question for others who have been through this...sm
How did you get through the time period when your baby was due? I lost my little angel at 11 weeks and the baby was due mid-June. Both my husband and myself have had good and bad days since the miscarriage but I'm fnding the closer to the due date I get the more sensitive I'm becoming. I just about burst into tears when walking into Target tonight I saw a lady that looked like she was around the stage of pregnancy I should have been at.
Any advice to keep the sanity?
The answer to your question if ever miscarriage
is yes.
Goofed up hormones after a miscarriage...sm
I have had 2 miscarriages over the past 1-1/2 years, the last being in January. Both times I had a D&C. The first time I got my period right back within a month and stayed on my normal track for periods, which I've been having for 25 years now and are calendar regular. Now since the 2nd miscarriage and D&C (at 11-1/2 weeks of pregnancy) my hormones have been crazy. I didn't get a period for 3-1/2 months and that was only after they gave me progesterone to induce it. Then I started the next month on time, followed by periods every 2 or 6 weeks, no regularity at all now.
Anyone else have a hard time with their hormones just bouncing all over the place and the body not understanding what to do with regularity anymore? My OB/GYN says this doesn't happen very often but isn't concerned yet and since I'm trying to get pregnant again I don't want to go on BCPs.
I'm now 3 weeks status post having a miscarriage....sm
I appreciate all of you who responded to my original post 3 weeks ago. Physically I'm doing well with the recuperation from the miscarriage and subsequent D&C and the doctor told us that we can try to conceive again in a couple of months, which we will do.
Emotionally it's still tough but getting better each day. I miss the baby very much. I'm keeping up the journal that I began during the pregnancy and writing my thoughts to the baby in heaven when I feel like it and it helps to know I'm communicating my thoughts to our baby. I'm actually able to say the words "I had a miscarriage" this week without bursting immediately into tears. My husband continues to be very supportive and we both shed tears together at times over our loss. Our friends, family and church family have been incredibly supportive and that helps tremendously and we've definitely felt their support through their prayers and expressed concern.
For any of you who encounter a woman who has had a miscarriage in the future, the best thing you can do is be there for them and show genuine concern.
buy every month
Melaleuca products you have to buy 35 products points each month to keep your account. Which is anywhere from $40 a month to whatever you want to buy. You don't necessarily have to work the business part you can earn a check each month without actually signing up any customers. Customers will be put under you by other people and you will be making money off of the products that they buy. That is waht my mother does. She isn't in it for the business she just loves the products and still gets a check each month
$347 per month

Don't go out to eat except maybe once a month.
It's amazing how much money you will save by doing all the cooking yourselves at home and brown-bagging lunch. This includes those $2 cups of coffee here and there every day--really adds up fast!
Keep your goal somewhere in site...literally slapping a picture of your dreamhouse on the fridge or some place you'll be reminded every day of why you are making the sacrifices you are making. Good luck! 
Since you have a month, why don't you
get together and do a pic of the team or even a few and frame it! I'm sure he'd like that. You can even go to one of those machines, have it blown up and have it say something special down below.
Also, they like gift cards to the local convenience store. Everyone could use a gift of "gas" especially when they are volunteers...
Happy sporting! Glad you had a great coach!
Ours is usually between $200-$250 per month.
Our electric company has some of the highest rates in the country...lucky us! Our bills usually go up a bit in the summer from using the air conditioning and running the pump for our pool. Electricity is definitely our highest utility bill!
wow. several months for TAT...wish we had that!--nm

Nine months later?
That's unreal. I would be interested to hear his explanation after your phone call. If you cancelled the appointment you should not have been billed, much less that amount. Good luck with that one! 
Definitely let him do it. It's only for a few months.
It must be awful to spend that much time driving every day, and gas is so expensive right now. Just let him do it. It's only until spring, and it will make things so much easier on him.
When my son was 9 MONTHS old SM
we lived in South Carolina, and his daycare center asked me to sign a form giving them permission to spank him if he misbehaved. He was a BABY and they wanted to spank him! Holy Cow! I refused to sign it and took my son out of their daycare, but it was legal there (this was 14 years ago...not sure what the law is now). But I was shocked.
I'm not anti-spanking...I just think only a parent should be able to spank their child. Definitely not someone who doesn't love your child and who may be too heavy handed.
Chickadee
They are now - it took several months for them to
get like this. Whenever one is curled up sleeping, the other will slink over and rest their head on the other one. :)
my son will be 11 in a few months
and never had anything like this. He's very forgetful and seems to lack common sense the last year or so. He also likes to turn his back and put his head down when he doesn't like something but hsn't cried in a long time unless he's hurt.
It sounds to me like maybe other kids (or someone) is telling your son he is fat or maybe making fun of him with clothes and that's why he suddenly changes his mind about what's cool and what's not.
I know my son is really starting to look at the high school aged kids for direction on what to wear, haircuts, etc. The long hair, no shower, messy look. We have had a talk that we understand he is growing up and with that comes priviledges but also he can only "grow up" so fast and he's not 15 or 16 and will not be treated as such until then. We have also told him at his age it is our job as parent's to make sure he is clean, fed, gets good sleep and grades, has clothes, and a roof over his head...and with that means we will make sure he takes a shower and makes himself look presentable. Long hair is fine, messy-look is fine...but rolling out of bed and tossing wrinkled clothes on is not - until he's 18 and then he can do what he wants.
Maybe you could sit down and have a talk with your son and ask him about why he's so emotional and changes his mind a lot. Could also call the school guidance counselor (even anonymously) and ask if it is normal behavior or might be signaling something more going on. They are really the experts on behavior at that age and for some reason many kids will talk to them when they won't talk to their own parents.
I have been seeing one the last few months.
I was a skeptic for certain. My husband ended up in the hospital with back problems and all the doctors would do is prescribe him meds to alleviate the pain. He started going to a chiropractor looking for relieve. It took a while but they helped him tremendously. After that I decided to give it a shot. The past few months I have been going weekly because insurance would pay for a certain number of visits in a year. Now that the year is renewing I have told my chiro that I am cutting back to once a month, or as I feel I need it. I will continue to go just not regularly at 1-2 times a week. She saw nothing wrong with that.Like you I can definitely tell a difference with less stiffness, better range of motion, better sleep, etc.
Don't have your mammo at the end of the month, then.
Or it will hurt. Schedule it when they aren't painful. I've had it before, but I took evening primrose oil capsules for maybe six months. No more trouble.
Won't the be surprised next month
This happened to an older friend of mine. Poor thing couldn't get another policy to save her life, and it wasn't a cosmetic issue, it was like entire siding pieces that flew off of her house. Oh, they and came fixed it, then they dropped her like a bad disease. They'd better be careful. Just a friendly warning... I don't know if I'd let the homeowner's insurance in on that deal, I'd cut my losses and replace the carpet.
TOM = Time of the month (sm )
Was trying to be a little modest - sorry!
Just in Vegas about a month ago
Go there a lot, the Flamingo is catty-corner to the Bellagio where we have stayed the last 2 times there. Know where it is because I went to a show there. Older place, smoky, they have real flamingos out in the back with ducks, etc, been there but not to stay. Toni Braxton headlining there and George Wallce comedian there now. Know what I talk about.
I know, she hasn't been on here in about a month or so
Hope she's okay.
I've had it about a month, it's almost gone (sm)
Dr. gave me an inhaler for the anti-inflammatory properties and a decongestant. I keep debating whether to go back but it is so low grade...I will probably wait another week or so and see if it goes away. Hope you feel better soon.
2- month window
and then there won't even be a way to give a bad rating of the dealer.
Will you come and live with me for a month or so? nm
!
wow you pay 350 a month for a HOUSE?
lucky duck, I pay 465 a month for a rented townhouse
Last month I spent $321 for 3 of us.
It's just DH, 18 year-old son, and I. We live in the Philadelphia area. We generally eat far less meat than most American families, but we aren't vegetarian. My son commutes to a nearby university and works there, as well. He provides his own lunches, and probably only eats breakfast at home half of the time.
Now, if you want to factor in what we pay for the meal plan for our son who lives away at college, well then... that's a whole other story! KA-CHING!
My 10 month old, Starr, does that, too.
I actually have pictures of her sitting in front of the TV in the office watching Animal Planet, Kung Fu Panda, and Transformers. I can see her tracking the action with her head and every once in a while she'll bat at the tv screen with her paw.
It's the cutest thing.
$250 a month is average for us.
We live in a TINY 1-bd condo and pay an average of $250 a month. We don't use heat or air and have quit using our dishwasher and have decreased our hot water usage. We unplug everything we are not using. We have been able to knock about $75 off our bill by doing these few things. Right now the only electricity we use is for our appliances (fridge, stove, etc.), lights only at night and when we absolutely need them, and for the TV and computer. We are seriously looking into solar as soon as we buy our new home as the electric rates here are crazy and can't imagine what it would be if we lived in a larger home.
I did about a month ago. There are other options.
Workin at the Q. Money is real tight.
But there are internet sites like Hulu where you can watch TV shows for free. Also at least I know on NBC who can watch some TV shows on there for free, too. Just about any news channel you can watch recorded news stories and sometimes even live if something major is going on.
Also, I found on YouTube that you can watch shows and movies. They have started putting commercials on them, though (same with Hulu). But who cares, you would have to see them on cable TV, anyway.
There are actually a ton of internet sites. I actually got into watching old *Kojak* reruns on Hulu (I know, but I liked that show back when.) They have a ton of old shows.
There is also Netflix or Redbox - you can get the cheaper options for movies.
I can watch my local news on the internet, too.
So, just seek out what options are out there for you. I figure even if it is only temporary (I have some job interviews this week) I can still watch things on TV but on the internet until things are better.
Honestly though, I will have to think about that because I haven't missed my cable TV not one bit.
Tell him you want $100 a month of that $180 he gets for rent. nm

22 months is not even TWO years old..sm
people keep saying that baby is 2 1/2 years old. or 3. 24 months is two years old. 36 months is three years old. People cannot even add.
Hopefully in a few months we'll both...sm
be bragging about our new babies. I haven't had morning sickness yet - didn't have it last time either, so we'll see if that develops. I'm spending my lunch hour from work napping each day and sleeping after work for a while. Hopefully I'll wake up before the baby is born in September. :o)
I waited about 7 months.
I wish I had done it sooner. I couldn't eat anything without getting sick by the time I gave in.
