I live for state fairs!
I'll drive up to 2 hours away...I especially love the really small country fairs. The more animals and ag displays, the bigger my smile. I always don my overalls and boots too--gotta maximize the overall hayseed effect doncha know, plus you never know when you're gonna step in poo so might as well dress appropriately! ;-)
Wish they were here. They're gone from SoFla.

Been to fairs, but the livestock/animal thing has always bothered me
and why I don't like to go. Looking at them and knowing how these kids took care of them and that most of them are going to be someone's dinner is upsetting to me :(
Come to SoFla. Going to the beach on Sunday;

I'm in SoFla, but have my air conditioner on to sleep. Birds

The stuff is costly by SoFla standards too, Apple.

Any craft fairs in your area? Or stores that carry hand-crafted items regularly? Look online

Vet called before and after surgery, and assistant called this
this afternoon. I cant wait to see her. She has only been gone for 1 day and as one lady stated, the house is empty. Working from home, I have become quite attached to her and her to me. Thanks for all the well wishes and Boo Boo Kitty thanks you too !!
may be same problem as we have in winter -
extremely dry skin - daughter's BF has a pit and they were told to use a veterinary oatmeal shampoo and he is on some mega fatty acid capsule, vitamin E, but the oil on his food may be accomplishing that. Try a humidifier, keep the heat (if you are in a cold area, of course) lower.
You don't have to do winter wonderland (sm)
You can do traditional Christmas decorations if the majority celebrates it. I am sure this will not be a big suprise to him - he has seen people celebrate Christmas all his life. He doesn't expect you to stop celebrating it but he doesn't have to participate of course.
I like winter, especially since I dont have to get out

I don't hate winter, but
enough is enough! Yeah, I know it's only February. We've been spoiled here in the Northeast. The last few winters have been so warm I'd started believing in global warming. Now I'm starting to think new ice age instead!
Got 5" here...lots of snow this winter...nm

Yes! I'm like a dog shedding my winter coat! nm

I'm a backpacker and winter camper.
I've even had frostbite before I learned how to stay warm. I buy my socks from REI.com. (Sometimes can find the same brands cheaper at places like Campmor.com and SierraTradingPost.com)
There's a good selection, and you can read the descriptions for each. The socks I buy keep my feet warm while I hike ten miles in the snow. You might not need that level of warmth! Also, they are kind of pricey. Good luck!
winter wedding what to wear?
What does a guest wear to a winter wedding?
robins don't always leave for the winter
any more. Depending on how good food sources are. You probably have a hawk if his tail has stripes horizontally. He may pick off a robin.
Summer here is great.. wish I was in FL in winter though :)

Winter blues in New England
I have lived here in the NE for 20+ years and am fed up with the winters. I'm single so I'm thinking of picking up and moving south (East Coast though). Can anyone point me in the right direction for a decent area? I want sun and warmth!
mixed drinks . summer or winter?

After an absolutely crummy winter/spring...
Here in the beautiful Pacific NW, I mean really cold, below normal temps, snow very late into the season...
We are expecting some 90+ degree days starting tomorrow into the weekend - and I for one am HAPPY! My poor halter tops haven't seen daylight for so long I forgot what they look like.
North Dakota. :D Freeze in winter/fry in summer ;)
Well, this is our coldest period right now. But having it -30 to -60 with the windchills certainly isn't any surprise. In summer we can be in the 80s and 90s with very high humidity. LOL! We always say, if you don't like the weather... just wait a minute.
And if you live where it freezes in winter, the filter MUST be emptied

That's New England - cold winter, warm bread! nm
...
so what you're saying is that if your child lost her coat you would make her go the winter(sm)
without one simply because someone ELSE may have stolen it? Wow.
winter wonderland and chestnuts roasting on an open fire
and baby, its cold outside. have more than 1!!
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.
The weather has been HORRIBLE just about everywhere his Winter!!! Mother Nature Angry! :-(.....nm

Rain, rain, RAIN daily, flooding, 'nados, never above 78, not since last Sept. Is winter over yet
nnm
then what would be 80-100 be called?
Well, I, for one, am not 60 yet tho getting *there*, look 45 (with no procedures/surgery), and my family history is such that they lived long long lives (paternal side)....and I plan on working another 15+ years......
back in the days, 50-75 years ago the elderly then didn't live to ripe very old ages, really.......
what you have is called a
dependency issue- you do not feel well, your hubby has hobbies not at home (could it be another woman or women?), you are not secure. You feel like you have to rely on someone seemingly not there for you.
Well, they just called
and said both were negative. Thank God. What a scare.
So, when your SIL CALLED, what did you tell her?
Your SIL is not a blood relative, but as your brother's WIFE, she is entitled to her inheritance.
When my husband dies, I surely am going one of HIS HEIRS, even if he does not write a testament.
But I will make sure that he writes one and gives ALL TO ME AND MY CHILDREN, nothing to sisters, LIKE YOU!
I am so interested in this, your case, because I hate it when legal heirs are cheated out of their inheritance.
So what did you tell your SIL when she called?
You got your and their inheritance, so give it back to them.
Was it really $ 750.000.-- ?
Give them half of it.
My sister took the whole amount of my mother's money, but AT LEAST she told me about it, later, after she bought her apartment. I forgave her for this, because she told me.
PLEASE STOP MAKING UP EXCUSES AND I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU GET INTO CONTACT WITH HER, YOU CAN IF YOU WANT AND GIVE THEM THEIR MONEY.
Why do they have to be called old
f.... Did you ever stop to think maybe not everyone in life desires to retire? I can retire but want to continue working. It is not always a money thing. Also, when you said appt mixup happened 10 years ago and then you said staff overworked due to rising job cuts, what does the one 10 years ago and relate to each other?
I'm the one who usually gets called, rather than
the main reason is that my brothers & sisters all have *real* jobs, and can afford the long-distance rates. On the other hand, as an MT, I usually can't afford it. But it makes sense, because I'm always here, and it's almost always an okay time to call me.
I also tend not to call people anymore because for some reason, my phone-kharma is truly the WORST! In the past, when I've called friends or relatives at home just to chat and say hi, it just never fails - at the moment I called:
* They were having a huge fight.
* They were having sex.
* A pet just died in the kitchen.
* A relative just died in the living room.
* The house is on fire.
Even worse, if I call their cell, turns out they're:
* In an ambulance racing to the hospital.
* They're on the toilet, or throwing up into it.
* They're in labor.
'Ooops! Did I get you at a bad time?'
Everyone on here has what is called
FREE WILL. No one makes you accept a low paying job, no one makes you sit around with no work, you would have to prove fired because of offshoring. Everyone can turn down a job if they want but apparently the majority here accept what is dished out to them. What you just said does not hold water.
Not everyone knows about why he was not called
MJ when the person made the 911 call, in fact out yesterday heard lady talking on the phone and thought it very disrespectful that the person referred to him not as his real name, she said it twice, why would they not say MJ instead of guy (or gentleman)forgot which one they said. I heard TMZ was first to report first of all. That was who got the first shots of the ambulance leaving the house so maybe they had others checking out, following on motorcycles the ambulance and got the shot that way. There were shots of Princess Diane as she dying in the car after her accident so guess paparizzi (spelling?) most everywhere.
She already told me she called and they said SM
she can't until March because they already had a claim. They would be cancelled if they claimed it. It does cover it, though.
The ones from that site are called - sm
New Lifestyle, the Chocolate and Chocolate Mint are great. Vanilla is okay, Strawberry not so great. I bit the bullet and ordered 2 months worth, in the past I have gotten 2 weeks worth and alternate with Total Soy shake powder which I get at BJs which is the only way to get a good price on these things in bulk. But the NL shakes are only available from that website unfortunately. Cost about the same as Omnifast, Medifast, etc. but from reports taste a whole lot better.
Cats definitely need something called
xx
Update. I called the CPS
It is so hard to do that to your own family but the way she treated those kids is disgraceful. The lady that took the call said that they probably won't remove the kids from the home but they will check out the situtation and give the parents an alternative route to childcare and not to use the grandmother.
That's what they called him on the news!. nm
LOL
don't like being called "ma," too
I correct my son when he calls me that - he is only two. He shifts from "mommy," to "mom," to "ma."
She called just as I was going to post
She called to tell dh that there was no hay seed available at a distant coop or a local coop. I said he found some at a feed store. She said okay. She said she knew he was over at her place but she was too lazy to go over there so that is why she called. She did gab a while to me but the only men she spoke of going out there were men interested in her property, not her. She said some wanted animals but she did not want that because they get out, the jump on her cars. One man wanted to plant like DH is doing but he would have 15 to 20 guys helping him and they would drink and she turned him down. She has 2 young daughters to worry about. She knew dh would do everything himself. I told her, well, he may have me and our two little girls come and bring him cokes or food. She said Great that her girls would love that.
She has known dh for a while. DH and her ex used to be friends. Dh would help her ex care for their animals when they were gone. Her ex tried to get into a business with dh but thank goodness dh turned him down. He was a crook big time. It is a wild wild story about her ex. She did say that she remembers when dh and I were dating that dh would come over, he was so in love with me, talked about me all the time and that he just could not believe he had someone like me. She said she remembered feeling grateful that he was such a great guy and he deserved someone great too.
Well, I have got to go as I was planning on working extra today. I have typed this really fast and have no time to edit so please excuse any typos.
Oh, yes, I remember what they called
winters, years ago, hardly have any now. We have both gas and electricity both here and I just try my best to keep the costs down. I told the people in my home where I moved from they could accept my own budget bils as they were in the 70-80 range, unlike the new home I moved to.
Yes and when she called all females, then
you would have mothers of boys up in arms, calling the teacher biased/racist/feminist/
segregating, whatever- it never ends. If you are having the males and females in class TOGETHER, then you cannot send 1 group out and have chit-chat with the others. If a child goes to all girl school, would not have the problem of talking in front of the boys.
It's Called Christmas!

This is what is called a ploy...
…You basically are being played. IF he has money coming, then until he got "the money" I would suggest if in a bind, he either got a loan from a company or a family member that he could pay back. You see, he is not intending to pay you back, really so he has come up with this song and dance about from somewhere else. I would not let it worry me for 1 second and why should you rescue him?? He should be the 1 rescuing. You can only be taken advantage of if you let youself be. I am telling you from years of experience, this man means no good and he has no other place, just trying to get you to break down and feel sorry for him. Get some sense, gal!
I think it is called denial - sm
There is no denying when you see an actual picture, however. Your current height and weight give you a BMI of 37.4, which puts you in the severely obese category.
I would say it's called having no life
