In our county, they summon people directly from

In Reply to: I have been contacted a few times - me
the registered voters pool. I'd always heard that from friends who worked at the county clerk's office, but didn't really give it much thought. I get summoned a couple of times a year & my husband never did, then when I talked him into registering to vote, now he gets summoned all the time too...

Schools have people across the county monitoring weather sm
to assess delays and closings. If there was legitimate fog, the school would be aware of it.
If it wasn't excused, it likely was A) not significant enough to cause any major delay or B) nonexistent.
Think, people.
We are emailing each other directly
now and I sent a CD of a song to her that I wrote from Westminster! This is great. I wrote it for family, friends, etc. and never, never thought it would go the places it has gone. I guess for the week plus we connected on this board I never knew a gab board restricted to gabbing bach and forth. Who knew? Also, what was the harm of getting to know one another a little before we exchanged personal email? Thanks.
There is an autoimmune board - see directly above your post. nm

Important addition to MIL problem directly below this posting
Oh, by the way, 3 weeks ago my DH told my MIL that I was upset with her and why. She made light of it, explaining that she was just "joking" and "being funny" and of course she didn't mean anything by it.
If it were my son telling me that I had offended my DIL in some way I would call her immediately and talk it through. However, my phone has not rung yet, and I'm pretty sure it's not going to.
I can see her sitting over there coiled like a king cobra expecting me on Thanksgiving and I'm so uncomfortable just thinking about it.
My husband said that she was just joking and to suck it up (again), and just go over. I'm really stressed out about this. Any suggestions would be great.
Mine is the prominent bone directly down from the little finger. nm

We're leaving elementary school behind with my youngest graduating from 5th grade at Harbins.
Pay varies by county
In my (rural) county, aide pay starts at, I believe, $11.50/hr. (I live in the southeast, too.) In neighboring county, big city, horrible kids, it is about $8.50/hour, and the aides are required to have at least 2 years of college. Go figure. The teacher pay is higher here, too.

Bridges of Madison County s/m
The scene where she is in the truck with her husband in the pouring down rain and Clint Eastwood is in front of them and she has her hand on the door handle. I cry there every single time!!
Any Habersham County, Georgia residents out there? sm
if so please e-mail me. We're considering moving there and I'd love to meet someone in that area. Thanks!
We have 5 acres in a remote county about 12 miles - sm
away. My DH has been wanting to sell but I want to hold on to it. It has already doubled in value in the 5 years we have had it and as the sprawl comes towards us it will get more and more valuable. Plus it is river view land (5 acres), 4 acres cleared and flat and nicely sloped too. If we don't build in the next 10 years we will probably sell it later, figure maybe college money if we don't have enough set aside (we should) but it is nice to know it is there and we can cash it in if needed.
Yep. Burlington County is a big part of the Pines. nm

I worked at my county clerk's office
You get to sit through trials and stuff like that. You essentially take notes during the trial - court minutes - and keep record of the verdicts. I loved that job, but unfortunately it didn't pay very well.
they are not allowed in miami-dade county
Pit bulls are either not allowed in Miami-Dade County in Florida but I heard something about having $600,000 insurance if you own one.....but that COULD be Broward County where they are allowed. I'm in Miami.
We have a few school closings now in Sussex County.
I am in Morris, very close to Sussex and in the mountains. We should be getting a few inches for the day is over.

HAHA... YEAH... I can just see our county jails filling up with (sm)
scores of pregnant women who (gasp!) CLOSED THEIR EYES during the *mandatory* video-viewing.
Oldham County had the best schools in the area and is just outside of Louisville (sm)
Been a few years since we lived there, they were dry counties, but if you wanted wine or a beer in you frig, pick it up on the way out of Louisville on your way home.
Beautiful countryside, good schools and low crime rate.
In Limestone County, Alabama, Thursday the 24th is the last day.

Reading series - Brides of Lancaster County
I love to read!! I like Christian fiction and these books are about the Amish and are soooo good! Author is Wanda Brunstetter. My husband bought me about 60 books for Christmas. I have about four left to read!

I was the first girl in the county play Little League - made the All Stars too! Girls rule! Also..
that very same year I won the county spelling bee! The word I won it on was "ptomaine."
One other special thing happened to me that year I got my ears pierced and hit a home run on my 10th birthday. I swear it... I totally remember touching my little gold studs before I got up to bat and then "crack." Even the people that didn't like me playing because I was a girl had to cheer. 1978 was awesome.
My grandma also played baseball during WWI.
This thing is not connected to the above, but I am related to Martin Van Buren, 8th President.
Yeah, I just did jury duty, served on 2 trials in my small county court. There was a girl
did absolutely nothing. Good-looking, well-dressed young lady, may went out a few times (I'm sure to deliver a message or something), but other than that- absolutely nothing. What a job!. Am sure in my county at least, its all in who you know.
Good luck with your jury duty.
you can give the people the facts, but the decision making process should be left to the people
This is what our country is founded on FREEDOM OF CHOICE! I'm laughing already; you are just as mortal as the rest of us, and don' even attempt to that you've never done anything in your lifetime that was unsafe or unhealthy. NOT gonna buy it.
it is wonderful to see how many people have such strong opinions about people in debt.
I thought that the purpose of this board was to be able to post without being judged unfairly or have somebody tell you how wonderful their personal life is, and therefore you are causing their life to be less wonderful with your irresponsibility. Well, the saying "walk a mile in my shoes" is a good one in this case. Since you have no personal information about the person you are lambasting because they are looking for information on their debt, you can feel superior. Had you had personal information about them, you might act in a more human manner. Consider fighting cancer for 4 years, working and being debilitated while you do, suffering the effects of chemo, going into debt to maintain your home for your children and looking for a way out of debt SHOULD YOU EVEN LIVE THROUGH THIS!! Thank you for the kind comments. To the judgmental people I say please take a step back before you judge. You do not know who you are talking to and if you knew the personal information maybe your comments would be kinder.
I get frustrated by the double standard they use when judging people. They let certain people go sa
What do you think about the voting process?
People who go around calling other people "low class"
have their own issues in life. Ignore them. Nothing like a misplaced superiority complex to make a person feel good about themselves. Like they've never done anything gauche or made a faux pas. It must be nice for them to be so perfect and live in a glass house.
For that matter, you probably saved your piggy's life by popping that mondo zit! It could have gotten infected or something.... (yes, I have a zit popping fixation myself, but you were really descriptive on that pig zit. gag LOL)
Man, you would have appreciated the time one of my relative's popped a HUGE cyst on her face. I was standing right next to her at the time and leaned back because I knew it was going to blow. It did! Big time! All over the wall, mirror and light fixture. I'm still disgusted by the thought of it 10 years later. LOL In a revering kind of way...
some people did, some people didn't. It's their choice.

If this helps...I know people who know people (sm)
who can make people disappear. 
Not really--I'd be lyin' if I said I never thought such things though! ;-)
IME, people don't feel sorry for fat people either
They actually have less sympathy than they do for people who have substance abuse, IME.
At any rate, I do feel sorry for Britney but the safety of her children should be everyone's first priority, then her safety. It would seem to me that all these hangers-on she has are jeopardizing that safety. It's all just very sad.
Some people just look at me
like I am crazy. You should see the looks I get when she rides on my shoulder in the car. Most people associate rats with dirty animals, etc. They are just like a hamster, only very smart animals. Plus they don't bite like hamsters or try and get away from you. They want to be around you. They are very loyal and love attention. She's my baby.
Unfortunately, she has a cyst growing under her arm now though. She is getting old, and I know her time is coming. :(
OMG! You people are bad, bad, bad!!! I'm going to
!
For me, over 25 people to buy for......
including mine and my husband's immediate families we see separately Christmas eve and Christmas day. We also visit grandparents, aunts, cousins, etc. a week later. We don't have kids yet so still spend a few hundred on each other. It is probably closer to 1500 combined for us.
What about NJ? People here act like
they're the best beaches in the world and I can assure you they are NOT. LBI is the cute nickname now given to Long Beach Island which is a dump as are most NJ beaches and everyone acts like it's the Hamptons or something. Been to NC outer banks and loved it. No comparison.
I think there need to be more people...
in the world like you! You are doing a wonderful thing and are a shining example to your children!
Pet (Dog in particular) people -
I have a Lab/Pit mix, probably 8 or 9 years old, who has a terrible problem with itching and scratching all over. I am hoping someone on this site has a solution for us.
I will tell you what we have tried that has not worked.
Benadryl has not worked. Seemed to help initially but stopped it and she shows no change.
Changing her food has not worked. Have tried all kinds of food, wheat free, have not helped.
Adding oil to her food, 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil twice a day, has not helped. Seemed to help initially but she went back to scratching.
Getting her groomed with dry skin shampoo/conditioner has not helped.
What DID help was steroid injection and prednisone pills on a tapering dose. But once the dose was tapered down, she started scratching some. I dont want her on steroids indefinitely. PLUS, the steroids made her very very aggressive and being part pitbull, that was not a good thing.
When it gets to the point that she and I are both waking up multiple times during the night, I have to go back to steroids. Before I do that, I wonder if anyone reading this has another remedy we could try before going to steroid route.
We also have a cat and I am beginning to think she may be allergic to the cat. Do you think this is possible? My vet technician told me it is possible but it would involve costly allergy testing and injections if it proves positive. Would like opinions from others before I take her for allergy testing.
Any info anyone could provide would sure be appreciated, not only by me but by my best friend who is suffering with this.
Thank you!
um, a lot of people don't go to the, uh, gym.

I know 5 people who have had this...sm
1 has kept the weight they lost off.
2 had major complications after the surgery and 1 almost died - he was healthy before surgery.
4 lost weight but have regained most if not all of it. You can restretch the stomach back out by eating too much.
I like those too - I know a lot of people don't :-)

Yes, but LL should have people to look out for her
be watched 24/7, but LL could be and should be. She should be protected and anyone with any interest in this girl, either for financial or other, such as her mother, should be helping her better than this.
IMO there is no excuse for this. Maybe I am being harsh, but give me a break already with these celebs.
Just like with people
Recovering from surgery (procedures done with anesthesia) when they're older is harder for them, and you have to be super careful that they don't have any conditions that could be worsened by the medications. Please try everything you can before getting them declawed. I'm lucky, my cats love their scratch posts, but they also love picking at the carpet. I just buy rugs and stick them all over the place!
Those people should have given you (sm)
thank you notes BUT, when you give you have to give with a free and willing heart and not expect anything in return - even a thank you - because you will only get bitter waiting. Only give when you really want to and feel the need to and you will feel better about it I think.
re: people
Just me,
The Bible says in Jeremiah 17:9:
"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it?"
It is our sin nature to commit sin and we're all born with it. I don't know what the percentage of sexual sin is, but I do know that it is getting more and more prevalent and has been around since bible days because we are all born sinners and we all need Jesus to save us. That doesn't mean that after we accept Jesus we stop sinning, but are more likely to be faithful when we know the Lord.
God bless!
