It sounds like you probably would like to see the Harry Potter books burned too

In Reply to: Judging people I don't know: - T

People like you are why I have a problem with religous nut cases. The last time I knew God = love. God loves all his children no matter what. You are just filled with judgement and self-righteousness. I believe that if someone is being physically abused of course remove them. If they are living the ways their religion believes and it is not hurting anyone leave them alone. So what if they wear funny clothes and their hair looks funny to outsiders. What gives one religion the right to dictate how another lives. Yes I know polygamy is illegal, children marrying and having sex with adults is disgusting in my opinion, but we should try and understand each other. I heard a quote one time that said "Don't tell me how I should or should not live and I won't tell you how you should or should not live". We are not The Creator and we should not be judging people. Let the courts handle it when they've got something legitimate and solid to work with.

Harry Potter Book
I've never read them, not my cup of tea, but my daughter has been reading them right along. She went to Harry Potter Night at our local bookstore the night before the book came out. She had a great time and got to get the book just afternoon midnight. I read today over 8.2 million copies of the book were sold in 24 hours.
Just finished Harry Potter - no spoilers
I would never ruin it for anyone.  Just wanted to say - What a ride!  It was an excellent book!  Sorry it's all over.
Agree with all yours and add Harry Potter movies...nm

I finished Harry Potter! Never fear - no spoiler.
Wow - what a great book & series. Brilliant! As Ron would say.
I have a Chihuahua named Mione. My daughter named her after Hermione from Harry Potter. I also ha
We also have a hamster named Sandy.
experiment books, how to draw books, origami, map skill books

Yeah, like when Tom Potter
decided Portland would opt out of the Terrorism Task Force because they refused to give him the same security clearance as the two cops that would be working under him. I think the government pulled various funding from the state for that. Probably do the same thing with this.
I've sold 125 books on half.com but most were my childrens college text books. I have sold some
t I picked up for a quarter at a thrift store. Old Dr. Seuss books do well. I price them a bit lower than the rest of the pack and put that they are from a nonsmoking home. Half.com does take a small commission but they deposit the check in your bank account monthly.
To burned out MT
If you have trouble asking for what you want, why not just send a resume and wait for them to contact you?  It doesn't take much effort to do that, and they'll let you know whether or not to go in for an interview.  If not that job, what about going back to nurses' aide?  Good luck in whatever you decide.
Anyone burned out with MTing? sm
i've been MTing for about 14 years.  i love being at home for the fact i have a 10 y/o and a 6 y/o.  but sometimes i find myself being bored sitting here typing.  i think of doing other things, medically related.  i think it would be so cool to be a surgery tech.  the thing is here where i live, i can make about the same as they do working at home.  it's just getting boring.  anyone else feel that way or have made a change?  i often think about when my boys get a little bigger, i'll go outside the house and work and possibly go back to college even.  i would like to do some kind of work where i can make a difference in people's lives. 
You are playing with fire and someone is going to get burned. sm
Infedility by any means is not moral and it is not right. Your husband has every right to be upset, as would I if my husband were doing the same. I'm not condemning you, I'm saying what I would tell anyone. In fact, my best friend brought a guy to the movies with us the other night and she is MARRIED. Needless to say, I was very upset and called her after the movie and told her I didn't think that was very cool.

I bet you 99% of the responders to this post will agree that what you are doing is not right.

It's just exciting and fun right now and not at all worth it in the end. If your husband finds out he may never respect or trust you ever again.

Also, what helps me if I ever, ever get an inkling to stray (which has happened once in our 10-year marriage), is to think about ALL my husband has been through with me and put up and has done for me (which is A LOT), and eventually the "other guy" just doesn't seem that appealing anymore. It actually made me cry when I began thinking of all my husband has done for me and my child (I was married once before we met).

Anyways, you have to stop it. Leading a double life weighs very heavy on your conscience. It's no fun. Not good for your health.

Oh, one more thing! Why is he single, if he is? He's probably a jerk. He ditched you once, right? If he's willing to hang on to you even though he knows you are married? He's not worth it, girl.
I had multiple ones burned off 10 years ago....

I had a dermatologist burn off about 30 in the neck-clavicular area about 10 years ago.  Those have not returned but new ones have in same area. 


My advice is to NOT CUT THEM OFF YOURSELF!!  My child has a big one, sent to my plastic surgery friend to take it off.

You can also find news and archived articles at the "Press Democrat"  newspaper website.   Looks like the kitty may recover, but his bills could reach $30,000 before he's well again. 


burned the crap out of my belly with mashed potatos

I was just stiring instant potatos and then somehow it jumped on my belly and now I have this 2-3 inch mass of skin that has blisters, some of which have popped, and this one 2 inch round lesion that just looks gross.  I probably should have gone to the hospital, but since I have no money I just treated it over the counter with antibiotic ointment.  Has anyone done this before?  If so what did you use?  It is painful!!!!  I bought this lidocaine stuff, but it hurts worse.  At least it is healing!!!  I am a dum dum!!!  Those potatos were out to get me darnit!!!

"I Can't Live." by Harry Nilson, heard that the night, sm
my boyfriend Jack broke up with me when I was 17. He just walked into where I was working and introduced me to Barb. He broke my heart. He is now an ophthalmologist in Florida.
I have a glasstop stove. I burned up a brand new oven glove on it becauuse sm
I have no concept of "surface is HOT." It stunk up the place and ruined a new set of oven gloves, but it was okay. I am very careful of it now, because a HOT SURFACE light means it is HOT.

duh...but it was a brain fart.
Harry F. Truman and Jimmy Carter were both Southern Baptists...sm

when they were presidents of the US...ergo Christian denomination. 


 


There are books
http://www.dog-training-talk.com/book-how-to-housebreak-your-dog-in-7-days-revised-pp2-215.html
Books
I loved Anne of Green Gables, and I also loved the Nancy Drew books.
Books
I couldn't get enough of Dr. Seuss. My father used to read Green Eggs and Ham to me allllllll the time. I gave him a copy when my son was born so he could carry on the tradition with his grandchildren. I then moved on to Sweet Valley High.
more books
Ok then my kids loved all the Dr. Seuss books and Mercer Mayer books!
Try these books - sm
The God Delusion and God is NOT Great.  You are not alone.
books
are there any books that tell how to become an IC?
my son had always liked the J.R. Tolkin books sm
like Lord of the Rings, etc. just a suggestion.
Med transcription books
I was wondering if any one could recommend a good drug book.  Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a good surgical book?  Thanks!
to sell more books
She wants to create more hype about the books. I agree, I don't think it was at all appropriate to discuss that in relation to what is marketed as a children's book.
One more suggestion - buy the books
second-hand and/or get the paperbacks for those out in paperback. No need to go broke.
Which is better - books or movies?
I never really caught on to the whole Harry Potter thing - it even took me a while to like the movies. But everyone is so crazy about the books, my curiosity is killing me. I don't have a lot of extra money to invest to quash my curiosity, so which should I invest in - the movies or the books? I do know that usually books are better than movies, but I'd hate to spend all that money if the movies are just as good!
I loved them both, but get the books
and then nobody will have to talk you into seeing the rest of the movies, LOL.

Plus with the movies you don't get into Harry's head as much, and that's where you get to know Harry. I can only imagine that people who only see the movies don't know him nearly as well as the readers do.

Guest books are not new
I had one at my wedding 22 years ago.  I was also guest book attendant for a friend from high school.  Got there early, got to see everyone as they came in and say hi to people I hadn't seen in awhile.  Not that big of a deal.  Of course, she didn't tell me what I had to wear, either.
My favorite books
My absolute favorite book of all time is Paint the Wind by Cathy Cash Spellman. My next favorite which are hard to find (the author passed away) is by Day Taylor - The Black Swan & Moss Rose.

I used to like Danielle Steele until she started making her characters snooty, but her older books Thurston House, Palamino and The Ring are some of my favorites.

Another good one is Barbara Taylor Bradford's "A Woman of Subtance". Bout a woman from the 1800s/early 1900s who went from being a maid to being a successful business woman. My husband saw the movie and he loved it.

However, I wish I still had the book Paint the Wind. I could read that over and over and over.
Truly A Day for the History Books

DH replaced the empty toilet paper roll last night.


In the 32 years we have been together, this is the first time I can remember him replacing a roll. Please don't tell anyone else because they would probably kick him out of the He Man Club, which all men who don't replace rolls (and that would be 99% of them) secretly belong to.


This is one of those days where, years from now, I will think back about what I was doing when I discovered it. (Sort of like people do with other significant historical events.)


In my world, this is at least as big as discovering a cure for cancer, landing a man on the moon, or discovering life in outer space, so I just wanted to share the good news with you - because, ladies, it proves that there is hope for the rest of you!


Those are my very favorite books ever...!!!
I've read them all more than once and just LOVE them.  Can't wait for the 7th book, but I think that's the last one, which makes me sad.
I never knew there were books
I had never heard of the books, although then again we don't have any books stores in our town (except the section in Wal-Mart and Fred Meyer). I have heard a lot of times people like books better.
sorry... books not boooks nm

Unwanted books
The same thing happened to me Some time ago, I ordered a book.  In very tiny print, it said we will be sending you books annually or how often. You can review them and keep them for a price of                    . They are hoping that you will just keep the book and send them the $$$. I did finally call and tell them no thanks.
Unsolicited books being sent to me - sm
From a magazine I subscribe to.  They are trying to get me to purchase various related books from them.  I always refuse the package and do not even open it, then they send a bill or two, and then it begins all over again.  What does everyone suggest I do?  This is getting really old. 
Good Books

Is anyone else into medical mysteries?  I love Robin Cook and Michael Palmer and actually pick up terminology from them.


I also love Ann Rule - she truly does rule - she writes true crime.


I occasionally still read Stephen King and Dean Koontz (only if it's not supernatural - he's really faltered there).


Lisa Gardner is awesome. 


Any other avid readers?


Classics/Books

I'm not really one for the classics either though I did like To Kill a Mockingbird.


I haven't read Sue Grafton or Janet Evanovich.  I average at least 40 books a year between true crime, medical mysteries and murder mysteries.  I am also hooked on TV shows like Forensic files, FBI files, Cole Case Files and that show called something "Evil" where the forensic psychiatric examines the minds of serial killers.  What really spooked me was the BTK killer's lack of emotion.  It was just like he was talking about nothing more than an ATM withdrawal.  My husband jokes that I just read true crime and watch those shows because I'm plotting to kill him. 


OH! I LOVE the Eragon books! Yes! Get him one! nm

if they had read their history books, they would not need to ask..nm

Janet Evanovich's books about
Stephanie Plum are wonderful. They are fast reads, very funny, relaxing. "One for the Money" is the first one.
I would love to send you 2 books. Please consider sm
this. I lost 2 family members on the same day back in March and I know your pain. email me and I will get them out to you.
I know you are looking for on-line help, but these books can be read in a day. Very easy reading. One book I know the author personally, attended a class he taught, and is a very good man. Email me.

Same here, I actually thought they were kids' books
What is so great about them? I do love to read so I am just curious what could possibly be happening in those books! My 13-year-old niece had her nose buried in the new one all day today she barely looked at us. lol. If they are that good I may be borrowing hers :)
