painting him out to be a monster, talking to parishioner or WHATEVER contributes in any way to get her one more step toward out, then she should try it all. Things are simply not as cut and dried in the world of abuse as you would like to think. You never know what turn of a phrase or sense of inspirational support (even if it is coming from strangers) is going to do the trick, so anybody looking from the outside in should try everything they know. Also, especially with kids involved, this is no time to throw caution to the wind in such a volatile and potentially violent or, God forbid, fatal situation.

lol, if not about the receiving, then why the *list* and the *training*?

Now, receiving money is ALWAYS exciting!
Are you getting full retirement or taking partial benefits? Sounds like you get to slow down a bit on the MTing, and I'm sure you deserve it.
Are you planning on doing anything special with that first check that you worked so hard to earn?
CONGRATS :-)
Does anybody know the details of when this will be received for us receiving SS?
Know it will be paid in the same manner, i.e., direct deposit, as you receive normal SS check. But the timing is what I am asking about.
When deposited. Know it is to be done before end of May, but just wondering what order or whatever they are paying this $250.00.
Churches? No. Pastors and anyone receiving monies

DH claims he heard/read that she is receiving money SM
from someone; that she was paid to have all those children. I can't imagine welfare or anything else coming up with the kind of money she needed for IVF, at a Beverly Hills clinic, no less; on top of the plastic surgery, to supposedly look like Angelina Jolie.
DH claims she stated she would be moving into large home, once all the babies are out of the hospital.
He's the one who watches Inside Edition while I'm working. LOL!
Children Receiving Chemo DO get horribly sick
Joel was on both Zofran and Phenergan round-the-clock while on his first regimen of chemo (it included Cytoxan and Vincristine, can't remember the third drug on that one), and the nausea was horrible and barely even touched by the Zofran. Before he relapsed the first time, when he was on the Cytoxan, I would cry through my shower every single morning, praying for his suffering to ease. The next regimen of chemo was ICE (I remember the acronym, but not the ingredients on that one). The ICE regimen was easier in terms of nausea, but it wreaked havoc on his immune system and on his blood counts. One of his chemo buddies was diagnosed with the same stage rhabdomyosarcoma the same week Joel was, and that poor child was even sicker than Joel with all kinds of life-threatening complications. Weirdly enough, I think that child survived, and I'm sure his parents believe it was worth the suffering now.
By my point here, Laura E., is that just because YOUR child didn't have nausea does not mean that everybody's children escape the horrible side effects.
Furthermore, I also have typed pediatric oncology reports (I eventually had to refuse to type peds onc. because it would leave me in tears every time), and the reports don't really explain the side effects the parents and children are seeing on a daily basis. The reports themselves just cover overall progress issues. The doctors don't live with the parents and get to visualize the experience at 2:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m., when the Phenergan wears off and the kid has nothing left inside to puke, but keeps puking anyway.
I'm sorry I've gone off on such a rant - but IT IS THE DECISION OF THE FAMILY TO CHOOSE WHICH TREATMENT REGIMEN TO FOLLOW.
By anonymous I mean
"not face to face." I know it's not completely anonymous. I just mean that people say things in writing that they might not say in person.
Sex toys - embarassing & anonymous
Hi - I'm serious - anonymous embarassing question for anonymous answers! I am 39 years old and my husband recently found out that I have a sex toy I bought about a year ago. He is furious and is acting like I am a really bad person. I think these things are way more common than the thinks. Just looking for opinions?
you'd bet your first born on an anonymous post
I think YOU might be ill and need a therapist. I'm not that poster but I think your response here is assumptive and presumptive and you *seem* so much smarter than this.....you cannot assume anything on a public board online....and you said YOU'D BET YOUR FIRST BORN on your thoughts about that poster.....I think you need to recheck your priorities...........
JMO..........
I would make an anonymous call
Just say you are not sure if the information will be helpful, but it is just something you noticed. Of course in the case of a fire they will do an investigation, arson and such, and it is very rare for a house to burn to the ground and everything in it turn to ash before the fire gets put out. I think they could tell if it was empty or not. I used to type up forms for a college fire department, and they are very long and detail-oriented, nothing is left out. On the subject of home insurance, I myself am tired of paying higher premiums because of just this kind of thing. They won't get away with it if this is the case. People are so afraid to report anything illegal these days. I live in a cul-de-sac with the nosiest bunch of neighbors I have ever encountered, they know who did what and with whom at what time, but nobody seemed to know who stole my car right out of my driveway a few years ago. I guess I'm just tired of honesty NOT being the norm.
Anonymous question regarding abortion (sm)
With this being a major factor in the political arena right now I wanted to ask this:
For anyone who has ever had an abortion (and there are many of us), were/are you ok with it still or did you have a period of extreme guilt/anxiety over it? I had one and did not terribly regret it, other than a short grief period, until I actually had children. I went through about two years of horrible guilt and remorse. I am now pro-life. I feel an abortion kills an innocent child and causes emotional scars for the mother that will never go completely away. I feel that I am not deserving of complete happiness in my life, ever, because I denied my child the right to have a life and attempt to find happiness. I know my reasons at that time and I know I felt like it was something I had to do, but the fact is many of us had them to avoid the shame, embarassment and/or financial burden that we feared. We thought we couldn't give our child a decent life even if we had him/her. The thing is, for the small price of some embarassment/shame and inconvenience, we could have given a family without a child a chance to have a child to love and raise, we could have given that child an opportunity to grow and seek happiness, even with obstacles to overcome. Instead, many of us chose a more selfish route, convincing ourselves it was less selfish. Anyway, that's how I feel about it. How about you.
anonymous herpes survey - sm
How common do you think it is? I think it is very, very common. Statistics show it affects about 1 in 3 people. Do you know anyone who has it? (self included?)
I know a few people who have it.
maybe it's anonymous because the person knows you would say Not True.

I used star77 to block anonymous
callers but it doesn't work for those who put the phone number on caller ID. It has really gotten bad in the last few weeks. I work nights and they start at 9 am and go on all day. I'm on the no call list but really would like to block all toll free numbers. Any one know how to do that? I have digital phone through Time Warner.
Can you do an anonymous call rejection on the cell? nm

I doubt a guy would send an anonymous letter- sm
it is mostly likely a woman sending it, possibly the girl in question if there is a girlfriend. I would not blindly accept it as untrue but then again I would not let it wreak my marriage as it is quite possibly the work of some sick individual out to cause trouble. I do trust my DH, but he will never cheat as he is terrified of getting a STD and of getting someone pregnant as well, and I do keep him happy as well. But I would just be a bit more aware of things, if any red flags pop up, then maybe have him followed by a PI for a few days to see if there is anything to it. If they find nothing then I would not worry about it. One of my good friends had her DH followed, though she could not get any proof as he was pretty slick and suspected he was being followed which did not help, but he did give her crabs which is what led her to use a PI, he had some lame excuse as to how he got crabs too, really makes me wonder at how dumb men think women are. They divorced in the end of course and she (and the kids) are much happier today.
Anonymous was me....I had accidentally used the wrong name on my post...nm

Write an anonymous letter. Type it up if you are that concerned, although I sm
am a big fan of minding my own business. You need to talk to her first instead of about her like this. Tell her your concerns. Be real and up front. Say, I don't respect you for this because you seem to be able to do such and such and I should turn you in. Don't be scared to do this. But if you are afraid, then write a letter since you say you know the insurance person and secretary.
Dang it, my posts keep automatically putting anonymous....sm
It is me though.
My prayers are with you...sm.
God bless you for loving Misha and Sasha so much. I have a Sasha, too. She is almost 14 years old, and her sister from the same mom, Keesha, is also 14 years old. They are getting very feeble and I don't think they'll be here much longer, so I truly understand your loss. May God fill you with many wonderful memories of Sasha and Misha playing together, running, having fun, so that those days when you feel your heart is breaking, you can smile, knowing that you did everything humanly possible to provide for her. I can tell from your post that your animals are your fuzzy children, and God bless you for loving them so much. We have a saying in our household that our "puppies" are God's little angels sent to keep us focused on what is important in life. Your post was a very loving tribute to your angel, Misha, who you will see again. God bless.
Thank you for your prayers.
She only eats Special Kitty (in the pouch) from Wal-Mart. I've been feeding her this for the past two years or so. I stopped giving her the Special Kitty the day I heard about the recall and checked the website but it was too late. She must have eaten the tainted food. We noticed she was drinking more water on Saturday and took her to the vet yesterday. Her BUN is down significantly but her creatinine is still too high. It came down a bit today but not enough. The vet is hoping we can take her home by Friday but that is if she pulls through.
I'm so sorry. You will be in our prayers.

you are in my prayers
If you cannot work and you took the necessary steps to inform them that you cannot, then don't. It is very rude that they did not respond to you. I am so sorry you are in this position. I cannot image having to go through that. I would take the time off and not worry about them. There are other jobs out there and obviously they are not worth working for NOR are they worth putting your life on the line. Take care.

Wow. It kind of makes you want to wrap your kids in plastic bubble wrap and never let them out of their room, doesn't it? What a tragedy for this family. I will definitely pray for them.
My prayers are with them (nm)

While I do not agree with the Senator's politics, I know how hard this diagnosis must be for him and his family. They are in my prayers.
prayers :(
how very sad
I'm totally confused at what the message is though, you cannot kiss your baby if you have a history of cold sores? I know that the sloughing usually starts when you feel the tingling and stuff before you get one. I dont have them but my boyfriend does, but they only flare up every now and then...
this is very scary and I will be aware some day if or when i have children.
Thanks for sharing and they are in my thoughts and prayers, and so is the poster below :(

I am sending prayers right now. God Bless them.
Prayers for both families

Ditto... our prayers are with you.. nm

Thanks for the update! Prayers were sent up for you! nm

Sending You Prayers
I'm so sorry that you have to though this again if you did miscarry. My thoughts are prayers are with and your husband.
Prayers for you - I am a Christian and I truly believe (sm)
that she is with God. A person as good as she was certainly does not go for eternity anywhere other than in God's presence. I believe this with my whole heart, and I hope that you can too. Don't even think about the doctors' part in her death. Just think of it as God wanted her home, and so he took her.
Sorry to hear this. My prayers to you. nm

Thank God your son is okay! My prayers for those not so fortunate. nm

Prayers going out to this little one and her family. nm

I think you asked also for prayers. Maybe it SM
went to another board.
prayers and doers
anonymously "helping" won't help. Go help her pack. That is way more compassionate, caring, helpful and supportive than praying for her.
I'm so sorry. Prayers for you and your dear family.

Hey, all of our central FL MTs out there! Prayers for you and hoping sm
ya'll are doing fine! I just heard that some twisters produced winds of more than 300 mph. Unbelievable. Even stronger winds than a cat 5 hurricane.
Lots of people out there need our prayers and supupport. Let us remember them today at all of their devastating loss. May God give them rest and peace today........
Hugs and prayers to you. I know your pain right now and wish
there was something I could say or do to make it better for you. Just know that all of us here are keeping you in our hearts and prayers.
Dont have any secrets, just prayers for you.
how I quit. When my daughter was about 6 we were taking a small trip, and in the weeks prior (and as usual) when we would stop at the store or gas station she would ask for some candy or something. One day I said "you know, if you would stop asking for something every time we stopped, we would have more money for our trip" (and no, I didnt buy her something every time LOL). She thought for a moment and then said, "if you would not buy cigarettes, we would probably have more money too".
She was not a back talker or a smart mouth either, just very sincere and to the point.
Anyway, long story short, I quit cold turkey a couple of weeks later (after our trip).
Been thinking about you. Prayers to you and your family.
!
I absolutely would accept any and all prayers.

Prayers for your sons and all our soldiers! nm
!
Yes, my prayers are with him and his family too. Just heard
it is a glioma type of brain tumor and stage IV. It is a very aggressive type of brain tumor. Afraid it does not look good, but hopefully he is strong enough to withstand the chemotherapy and radiation and possibly surgery or surgeries.
My prayers are with you and your son. You obviously have his best interests at heart regardless of
I agree that perhaps your son and/or you should talk to someone. If not a counselor, perhaps your preacher.
Good luck to you. Again, my prayers are with you both.
I got to get back to typing her but need special prayers
my DIL and grandson are in flight from Hawaii to LAX to be with her mother, his grandmother in the last few days of her life. Her name is Pat. She lives in Placentia. She is in the hospital right now but wants to come home when they get here. My son also in HI, scheduled to leave within 10-12 days to Iraq but he is having some medical issues. Please pray they will not be of a serious nature. Please pray, he is thinking his men will think he is faking this. It is just all the stress he is under....Thank you in advance
Thoughts and prayers to all of you from all of us in South Dakota...nm

Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way. SM
I hope your son realizes we all make mistakes (including him) and that he finds it in his heart to forgive. Your grandchildren need to know you and vice versa. I truly hope it all works out for you. My dad and I were estranged even after I repeatedly attempted to reconcile and he died without ever meeting my children. So sad.
Prayers and good juju for Miss Lily
I hope the op goes smoothly and she is is soon home and feeling great! Have all the other problems cleared up? Poor thing has been through a rough patch lately but I'm so happy you are a good mom to her!
