JMO but I feel that yes you can't prevent them hearing it

In Reply to: Poll time - should a 12-17-year-old have adult language CDs and R-rated movies...sm - Mom
in school, etc., but you can prevent yourselves from condoning it which is what you'd be doing by giving it to her. And then when she tells her friends some will very likely tell their parents (who may not want to go that route) "Well my friend so-and-so's parents got it for her!" So, I agree with you on this one. And, again, just my opinion. :)

I don't know how to prevent them, but I do
know how to stop one once it starts. If you're lying down, flex your toes towards you. That stretches the muscles that are cramping and will pull out the cramp quickly.
Wish I knew how to prevent them -- I seem to go in cycles.
Just trying to prevent a
child getting yanked away from his father because some busybody doesn't think kids should be spanked.
I tell you what shampoo WILL prevent lice...sm
At Sally's the generic Paul Mitchell's tea tree oil shampoo. Tea Tree Oil kills lice so if you shampoo with it it prevents them. It is not a lice killer it is just regular shampoo. It smells a lot like peppermint to me. I used it when my son started kindergarden because I didn't want him to get lice. Kids in his clss had it and he never got it. It is a little expensive but worth it to me.
why not cut off the ears at birth to prevent
not circumcising can be reversed, if the boy/man so chooses. Having had a friend working in a gay porn store, hehe, there is a consensus among men that circumcised men miss out...
Oh hurry up and outlaw IUDs then, eh? They prevent sm
a fertilized ovum from implanting in the uterine wall so I'm sure that form of contraception is "killing a baby", right?
And her tail covering those "delicate" areas to prevent
s
But, isn't it supposed to prevent a percentage of HPV which causes the cervical cancer, after
you contract HPV, there is nothing you can do except monitor it. I have a friend with HPV and she is in the doctor's office every 3-6 months.
It's just a hearing - bet they let her go.
nm
Yes, I have been hearing this for the last
few months, on and off.
The OP is not hearing anything except what she wants
I have not been vile- have been telling her the way credit is checked and yet she turns it around to say we are saying her son is a crook. She is not listening, just flapping her jaws.
and hearing aids
a woman that my daughter works with forgot to put her hearing aids up in their case when she went to bed one night - and her dog chewed one of them up during the night. fortunately, my daughter wears hearing aids and gave the woman one of her old ones (she's on her third set and now has a set that is digital). Her older one worked perfectly - glad that headsets are not the price of hearing aids - or none of us could afford to work (1200-5000 a set)
I am so sick of hearing about
I have heard enough!
 Apparently she still has all of her female parts, except breasts...she gave birth vaginally...so it's NOT A MAN...IT'S A WOMAN. I certainly hope that losing one's breasts does not disqualify us from being a woman. This poor child is going to be so confused when she learns the circumstances of her birth. Not to mention that the other woman is breast feeding her...I feel for the innocent baby who is going to be the one to pay for her parents stupidity!
Is he hard of hearing?
I ask that seriously because my husband has the same problem, that and he has so many other things going through his head and for whatever reason the things I tell him seem to be the least important to remember! Could you get a bulletin board and tack notes up on it with what he needs to remember, send him emails etc. I send my husband a lot of emails as he works nights and that is the easiest way to "remind" him!
Love hearing this!
I like knowing I am "normal". I get up about 6:45 every morning, make lunches and am sitting working by 7 am. Okay, I confess, FIRST I check my email and MT Stars, etc. and then I get working so really about 7:15 am. Around 11 I take my first break, shower and get ready for the day and then work again until the kids get home about 3 pm. I hate when something messes up that schedule and with the kids at home next week it will so screw me up. I'd much rather be hanging with them than doing this. With 4 at home it is very hard to be as productive.
My doc says it's early hearing loss. sm
I went in 2 weeks ago for my check up and complained about the ringing in my right ear. He said it's early hearing loss and if it bothers me to see the ENT and get a hearing test done. LOL-like I have time for that right now.
I remember hearing the same thing
last year about Walmart. However, my sister works there and she said it wasn't true. I think that at Walmart their ads and banners say Happy Holidays, so that is the corporate message, if you will, but employees won't get fired for saying Merry Christmas. I guess I should say that she works at a WalMart in a small midwest town. I suppose it could be different in the big cities. MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
No, just tired of hearing idiots
such as yourself. Always shooting the mouth off...if I want to smoke it is my business. People like you have real problems - always getting involved in other people's business to cover up your own inadequacies.
I do remember hearing just a tiny bit about
Amelia Island. What makes it an old pirate town? Would LOVE to hear all about it. I'm going to put that on my list to look at visiting. You know, as far as entertainment goes - I don't care to go someplace else hundreds of miles from my home to do something that I could do in my home state so "local" things to do/places to eat are always high on my list!
This is the unknown in me coming out but is it a "true" island - do you have to take a ferry out or do you fly??
By not transcribing a court hearing
a woman here in town is now sitting in jail. She either did not want to or ignored not finishing a particular case and when she did so called finish, she was 90 pages short. The judge has just sent her to jail. Ekkk.
ME! Best thing about working at home, not hearing about
boring sports!
This is a great idea - save your hearing
for work. (The electric ones are much quieter).
Since you have a slope, it matters whether it's rear-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. One of them will give you trouble, but I can't remember which. Salesman told DH.
Woah, I'm pretty much sick of hearing...sm
about this and so have not comment. However, I must comment when someone blames gun laws or suggests taking guns away from Americans!!!! This has absolutely nothing to do with guns or gun laws.
Guns are just a tool...they do not just kill people, just like knives, baseball bats, etc. People kill people period! Would all the anti-gun people feel better if these people were killed with a knife, chainsaw, etc.? Come on, we have gun laws in place. However, criminals and crazy people do not follow laws! The only thing stricter gun laws are going to do is make it harder for law abiding gun owners to get and keep their guns, and that is just dumb! I think gun laws need to be made less strict if anything. Maybe if a few people armed themselves, they wouldn't be so defenseless when some nut tried to shoot them for some reason. At very least, if you don't want to arm yourself, leave the rest of us who do alone.
If you're not tired of hearing about mine, LOL
I have posted regularly about my two, Sasha and CJ. The dog I lost at Christmas was my most enthusiastic digger, and preferred to sleep outside when it was cool. I'd often find her lying in a circle inside the mole moat she had dug. I assume she wanted to be ready in case the moles popped up close at night so she could surprise them. She was my red and white girl with the big teddy bear face. She could shove her head in a hole up to her ears. She also liked to snorkle like a bear when she swam, with just her eyebrows above water.
Sasha is my pure white Siberian (a rescue we've had for 6 years, now age 7), and at times as dainty as a poodle (hence her nickname "Poodle Girl"), but she is also quite the hunter and has showed off more catches than Misha ever did. Sasha has brought in moles and birds and we have also witnessed her catching squirrels - quite a feat.
Most recently we added a 6-year-old named CJ - our first male. He is a complete mama's boy and quite the chow hound. He would stand on his head for a chicken strip. He is gray and white, marked just like a malamute, so one of his nicknames is MiniMal. He happens to have lovely deep brown eyes, so we also call him Rootbeer. Since he's our first male, DH is having a terrible time remembering to refer to him as a HIM, so I also call CJ Boy, and DH has picked that up, but still says HER because it's such a habit. CJ has a bit of a nervous tummy. He'd been placed with a couple of families by his breeder previously, but had been returned because of issues. His issues are that he doesn't like to be left alone, and supposedly howls if he is. Of course he's never been alone here since I currently work at home and Sasha is always here. Now if I go outside and leave CJ inside, he watches like a hawk out the window or storm door. Sometimes he will cry for me, but I have trouble hearing him even if it's only the glass storm door that's restraining him. So if his vocalizing was a problem, they had to have been leaving him outside. Umm, this dog in not a yard dog, so that's what the problem was. Which makes me kind of mad. You shouldn't get a dog if you aren't smart enough to figure out solutions to things like that, IMO.
Heck, we sold our townhouse for our first dog, and purchased a house with a shaded, fenced-in yard for our first dog, because she needed that. So why somebody couldn't put in a doggy door or take their dog to day care or whatever it took to make it work, I don't know.
I am so tired of hearing so many people I meet say they SM
hate cats. What is with these people, and what in the name of God do cats do to offend so many people? One of my friends told me on a shopping trip last fall about 15 times how she hated cats, but LOVES dogs. Finally I just fired back at her and asked her what in the world was wrong with HER? She got red in the face and muttered something about hating when they rub up against her. Give me a break. I could not take any more thatt day. Every shop we went into and she saw a cat on a picture, a mug, ANYTHING and I had to hear how she hated these wonderful, clever little creatures. All my life I have heard this nonsense. What is it with CATS?? My sister and nieces have cats and always have had them and we could not love them more. Would you believe last year my niece was in line at the store waiting to pay for cat food, when a guy behind her actually tapped her on the shoulder and looked at the cat food she was buying and proudly stated I HATE CATS. I agree with my niece when she said to me a few months ago that cats just don't get the recognition they deserve. When her cat of 20 years was failing but according to the vet not in pain, she took him to bed and slept next to him so he could die in her arms, which he did. We will never forget our Willie. He had a sweetness that will live on forever.
I remeber hearing it in 1982. Started way before then. nm

Hey, could I be your neighbor? I am tired of hearing my dog bark...
But sometimes, there goes that big, humongous but....my daughter's dog barks constantly, I am thinking about getting him a muzzle? Is that against the law? And what if someone is trying to break in? I have not worked in a couple of days but my neighbor's dog use to make me want to take Valium, nonstop. I never complained to them. Now she makes little remarks about our dog...
Hubby with hearing and greedy problems
Dear NOT Silly Girl,
I am a clinical psychologist and now teach medical transcription. I lost my deaf old sweetie 2 years ago. He was incredibly vain about wearing aids and/or his glasses. FINALLY got him to an audiologist in Canada (half the price than here in US) but getting him to wear the aids was another matter. Solved it by training just like dog or horse. Yep! Intermittent positive reinforcement - rewards, treats, smooches, etc. I told him I would only go out to dinner or shopping with him if he wore the hearing aids. Refused to go out of house with him unless he had them on -- and he loved going out! It worked, except then I still had to repeat everything 3 times inside! Many, many frank discussions also helped. Turned out he was incredibly vain and thought he looked old with hearing aids. I finally convinced him that shouting at people REALLY made him look old. He got contacts instead of glasses.
As to self-centeredness, that has to be educated out of him, too. All this takes time. Just talk to him about values whenever he acts that way, and when he stops the selfishness, reward him. That is not acceptable behavior in an adult -- and I would tell him so directly.
Good luck.
Rosie
By the way, I would take
Buy him a hearing aid for Christmas - Both problems solved! hah. nm
.
yes, but hearing he has to serve about 6-9 before eligible for parole

I am so tired of hearing how people fall for scams
You do not have to be old to be taken in so let's shelf that right now. I just saw on a judge show where a lady gave a guy 1500.00 out of her acct, leaving her with $81. This person thought she would get repaid and then make some. I read about people answering ads saying send in XXX and make $5,000.00 a day, week, whatever fits in here. I see where people stopped outside a store, a person has found a bundle of money and they want you to go to the bank and get the same amount, then all that to be put in the bundle and you get half of that? Can we say flim-flam? I cannot believe all the gulliable, seems like you have never been outside your home, absolutely idiotic people in my life. Why am I getting so angry listening to all this. I really am just BURNT up.
ditto.... early hearing loss here too causing ringing.
I'm not even THAT old!!
I agree with you. During the hearing this morning, it was stated that Daniel did not like the Baham
They stated that Daniel considered California home. I wish they could both be buried in California and rest in peace together.
Our old OB head nurse had to talk one lady out of naming her daughter Vagina, said she kept hearing

How would you feel
Let me ask you, how would you feel if you were in an mva and when you arrived at the trauma center they said, sorry - we can't help you, we are closed for Thanksgiving or Christmas as the case may be. We make a choice when we get into healthcare - it's 365 days a year 24/7. Doctors, nurses, firefighters, police officers, military.. all professions that require working major holidays. Usually it's a skeletan crew that works and is on call for Stats. My feeling is, if a gaurantee job of no holidays is what one wants, then one should go into a field that doesn't require the coverage like banking or a private physicians office. Hospital medical transcription has never been Monday through Friday and never will. Think about it from the patient's point of view, after all - that is the main goal - THEIR care.
Been there - know how you feel sm
Honestly, I lost two angels before my firstborn. One at 16 weeks and the other at 12 weeks. It was excruciating and heart breaking. Now, I know I have two angels on each shoulder 24 hours a day watching over me and my family. It is comforting after a while to know that you have these angels.
God bless you and your family!
You should not feel bad at all, I don't
wrong with your response at all. My home is with my family also, but I do think of the small town in which I spent the first 20 years of my life and the wonderful times I had there, especially at the holiday time of year.
Thank you, too. I feel the same. As for
your European anology of family, you are SO right. I so admire that type of family dynamic, and don't understand fully what happened here in America. My parents were/are typical examples. They were 50's and 60's Beaver-Cleaver parents - my dad worked, my mom was a stay at home mom, though it turned out she hated it. They had the obligatory 3 kids, me being the last, and by a long shot. At any rate, they just did not foster a close family unit - we looked great on paper, but that was it. As soon as I was in my teens, my parents couldn't wait to sell the family home and take off for a retirement community, though they also weren't all that social, either. They barely paid attention to their grandkids - just the obligatory gifts and family dinners, where all was so strained and forced. They thought about themselves, really. Parents who put their happiness and interests first, while going thru the motions, though, of being that all-American upper middle class family. So, they sold everything that to me was cherished and headed south to a senior community, full of lonely seniors who chose that lifestyle. Know what I mean? They couldn't wait to get away from their grown kids and do their own thing, yet when the chips were down and their health was failing, they were stranded more or less, turning to visiting nurses and the like for care. It is odd about our society how things are turning like this and the close extended family just is a legend - like Big Foot. I have done lots of social political reading, and there are actually explanations - you are probably familiar, but it was some in governments plan, and they sure succeeded. Now all is backfiring, though. I know then I have stopped this family distancing with my own kids, thank God. My husband and I are very close with our kids, and vice versa. Many of our peers are the same, though most do not have relationships with their parents either. Maybe there is hope, eh? Nice meeting you! And though we differ, we are the same. 
I feel for you
My MIL died of cancer on Christmas Eve back in the 80s. My ex-MIL, whom I loved dearly, told me, "How wonderful. She died on the eve of the Christ child's birth. You can't ask for a more blessed event as she is definitely in the arms of the Lord."
This always stuck in my mind and made me feel a lot better. I'm not an overly religious person, but when I think of that, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling all over.
I hope everything gets better for you. Just remember that they will be going to a better place without pain, sorrow, or heartache.
I know how you feel....
I just got word that my dad had a brain aneurysm and had a stroke. Nothing but worry. Right now he seems to be doing better, which I am very thankful for. I will be thinking about you and wishing you the best.
I feel for ya, but it will get better! sm
I am at about 10 weeks now. For 2 weeks straight, I was taking a nap at 9:00 in the morning! Then I could hold off until about 1, now I can go a couple of days without taking a nap. Take it as a wonderful sign!
I had a miscarriage last pregnancy, wasn't tired and wasn't nauseous at all. This time I am so very tired and so very sick and I took both as a sign that all was going well this time and it is. Hope all goes well for you this time. Take care of yourself and take it easy!
I feel the same..
The show is fixed. I watched last seasons show, and the rivalry was there in the last episode. I will not watch it again. Sam was definitely better - and Uh? how many times has Marcel won? BTW, he could not even pronounce the Hawaiian foods properly.
I feel bad for her
She lead a rough life and I feel bad for her and her daughter, who will never know her mother or her big brother. She will forever be known as a "who's your daddy" baby because of ghouls who can't mind their own business. I hope Anna is finally at peace.
yep - sure feel the same way!!!
I, too, remember all the lyrics (or most of them).......GREAT GREAT MEMORIES!!! :) 
That is how many already feel about
abortion being legal...it got on the books and has been a black mark ever since. Scarring. What victory are you hailing? The US is considered evil by many nations because of legalized abortion being practiced here. So the affect is greater than realized. Again, whose victory?
I feel for you
My heart goes out to you. I had an anorexic daugter for fives years which started at 10. She is 18 and is cured for the time being. Anyway you are doing the right thing calling the pediatrician and seeking help. Maybe a professional can talk to your husband. Once you get this help have patience it takes a long time for any results. My advice also would not to find any treatment they offer your stepdaughter. My daughter was hospitalized 3 time, and almost died. You have only a few years to work on this. Once their 18 they are their own when it comes to seeking help. Email me any time. I will be praying for your family. . I am so glad you see the problem.
I feel the same
way. I am getting tired of seeing Lucky so happy about his baby and it's not even his. It is starting to make me sick! I love Jason. He needs to take a stand. Also, I'm really ready for everyone to know who Jerry is and get it over with!
I feel the same way-
II was looking at renting an aapartment where everything is earth friendly and energy efficient and it sounds great but they have all these rules, such as you HAVE to recycle. I do recycle but I'll be damned if I'm going to have someone telling me I have to, especially if I am paying to live there. The little kid in me says "I was gonna do it until you told me to!"
I feel for you - sm
I'm sorry a few people jumped on your case. They shouldn't presume to know your entire situation. In my opinion, you asked a specific question and didn't deserve to have people criticize you like that. I had some issues too a couple years ago - mostly medical bills. I finally got them paid off a few months ago and very slowly my credit score is coming back up. Unfortunately, you just have to be patient, but as long as you make your payments on time now, your score should slowly come back up. Hope things work out. Good luck!
we should all feel the way you do; I know I do
If he is big in stature, as well as being a bully, he may respond better to a father in the neighborhood who may get invovled with him, when he is home alone. I am a single parent and am becoming more intolerable daily with people who do not take care of their kids and try to do the right thing.
oh how I feel for you - and I only have ....sm
I only now have night sweats - and I hate it, every night I tear off what I am wearing during sleep....and that's with the a/c on.....*laughs*.....neck, upper chest area is the worst.......drenching sometimes (tho not all the time)....
thanks for the heads-up on the new HRT method(s)....
Do exactly what you said you feel like doing--sm
and then get yourself out of it (marriage). If it has been less than 2 years and he is doing this already, then he will not stop. Do not subject yourself to a lifetime of misery. You stated all the reasons for not having to stay. You will find your happiness elsewhere. Just consider this a poor choice in your early life and move on. Nothing but a speed bump. There are better men out there...somewhere. Good luck to you!!!
