We're just speaking the facts, ma'am. :)

Just stating the facts ma'am, and it looks like
you are not such a great diagnostician either! lol
I wasn't judging, just stating the facts ma'am....
these were things that were mentioned in the trial. And the baby and the methadone thing was accused by Larry B, I think he would know if she was taking methadone, and she was on something, we all know that.
Okay - sorry Ma'am - LOL (nm)
x
yes, ma'am....where in south FL?
xx
Well you're just plain rude, ma'am, sorry.
I just hope you didn't go out all that much for other people's sake. LOL!
Know the facts...
Get your facts straight
http://www.pitbulllovers.com/pit-bulls-ten-things-you-should-know.html
Pitbulls were NOT bred to attack humans. Unfortunately some humans trained & bred pitbulls to fight dogs. Dog aggression is not to be mistaken with people aggression. And like I said before, in so-called reported "pitbull" attacks unless I was there & I heard & seen EXACTLY what happened, I am not about to pass judgement.
Here are some facts.
http://www.dogsbite.org/bite-fatalities-2008.htm
Notice how many of these descriptions of fatalities use the phrase "the family's pit bull".
Both are facts, now if you said - sm
I think Judy Blume books are great.....then that is an opinion. Or, My mom thinks I look good in blus shirts, again that is her opinion (she thinks, I think, etc.). All in the phrasing and point of view of the statement. But I enjoy would be a fact, because you are stating what you like to do (a fact), and your mom liking something is a fact as well, as it is a definite statement.
the facts
One of his daughters is allergic to dog fur which makes it very hard to get a rescue dog. The dog was a gift from E. Kennedy. The Obamas, in lieu of getting a rescue dog gave a 'substantial donation' to the humane society (or similar) in D.C., which, IMO, will save many more dogs than the one he would have rescued.
Don't know the facts about this family but....
Common sense dictates that foods with added hormones and antibiotics CANNOT be good for human consumption. It is completely unncessary. I only buy eggs without hormones and additives to the chickens, free range, and the same with the milk. If a human mother were taking in hormones and antibiotics, wouldn't there be a warning to her if she were breastfeeding not to nurse her child, that this could potentially be dangerous.
snopes merely has all the facts
x
They're both facts
I enjoy reading books by Judy Blume. That's a factual statement. I'm not saying anything about the quality of the writing or the stories. Just that I like reading the books. If it were phrased Judy Blume's books are really, really good then that would be opinion. You may think so, but the person next to you may think they're trite.
Same goes with the shirt. My mom loves for me to wear blue shirts is a factual statement because your mom does indeed feel that way. If it were turned around so that it read My mom thinks blue shirts make me look good or My mom loves for me to wear blue shirts because they bring out my eyes then those statements are Mom's opinions. And we all know Mom is always right. ......... 
always so negative I got her name right maybe you just dont have all the facts
Her name was Vicki Lynn however those who did know her from before know that she used the nickname Nicki when she worked in the clubs around Houston and when she went to Playboy they changed her name to Anna Nicole.
Enjoy your rant I just gave my opinion like everyone else sorry to have annoyed you with a little different point of view.
And the facts are, that gays exist, and want to
X
And the facts are also that there are Christians and pedophiles and (sm)
people who have premarital sex, and people who are Nuns and people who do drugs. Do we take them on field trips for all of those too?
Maybe The Facts of Life cast Charlotte Rae as ...
Edna Garrett on The Facts of Life???
Heard Al Gore's "documentary" had no facts in it(sm).
Don't worry, it's just the earth cycles and cows passing gas.
you won't loose your cool if you state the facts
just as you did. I have found in my life that everyone has to listen to me and take me seriously if I use no profanity what so ever (and don't yell). Of course you should be upset, your child was assaulted by a bully. I'd be all over that like white on rice!!! Call her up, make her feel lousy for raising such a brute of a daughter. Praise your child for being so wonderful. Unfortunately, all we can tell our little ones is that the world is full of mean, angry others and we are so blessed to not have to behave that way. Count your blessings for your sweet son, just love him and hug him all that much more.
Because, despite asking a question, she wanted commiseration, not facts. nm

get your facts straight. Rosie signed a school year
that was when her original contract was supposed to expire, June 2007, a school-year yearly contract. ABC wanted her to sign a 3-year contract for the amount of $$ she requested.........and she only wanted to sign a one-year contract.......
I will miss her as I had given up the View due to Star Jones' fiascos....and now, once again, after June, I will never watch it again. Rosie brought the ratings up because after 9 years of Star Jones, people were tired of the show.
Ta-Ta to The View and ABC.....
Yes, and friends too. But school is where kids learn facts, so whatever their teacher says (sm)
they are going to think it must be right. I think that is unfair leverage to use to support your own point of view as a teacher.
Speaking of that
One time about 5 years ago, I was driving on the interstate, my SO now DH riding with me. Was just passing the rear of a trucker, cars behind me so there were witnesses to this and I couldn't just slam on my brakes, put on his signal and tried to pull out anyway. Since I was already passing him, kept going, and he ran me off the road to the center. Pulled back on and continued to pass him, had his window open and flipped me off. I didn't see it because I was trying to control the car, but the funny part was my DH (SO) rolling down the window and hanging out giving him a double one back all the way until I got in front of the truck. I said WHAT is going on!! He told me the bas%$@d flipped you off. Come on, they're high enough up to see there's a car right in front of them they want to pass. I told SO I'm slowing down and get that guy's plate number so I can report him. He slowed WAY down and stayed so far back that I finally gave up... Guess he wasn't in such a hurry after all. We still laugh about my husband's ~chivalry~ that day, him hanging out there giving him the double what for! Wish I had a pic of that for posterity
Not dissing truckers here, my own brother was one for quite a while and have had a couple who stopped to help me and went out of their way when I had a flat tire on the interstate one time in rush-hour traffic on Friday afternoon. My brother said that was really nice of them because it's money out of their pocket, but he did always say to report truckers who are playing games because it's so dangerous.
Speaking for myself.....
it is quite the opposite. Any thread not adhering to the politically correct policies of this country is in danger of being deleted. Christians are not politically correct and never will be on this earth.
Speaking of AI
Is anyone here going to see them on Tour? Tickets go on presale tomorrow and I can't wait to get tickets. My friend and I take our daughters and go every year. We make a day out of it. We become groupies for the day. We've had great luck meeting most of the idols since season 5 and I'm looking forward to meeting Adam and Danny this year.
well, speaking from experience (OP)
I never "sat on the bench with my breasts out" after breastfeeding my son. Most women *put them up* after the job is done. Come on now, be realistic about this issue...
Speaking of condoms...
DS (15 yrs old) came home from school yesterday and I asked him what was new. He said the usual - "Not much."
Then.... "Oh, yeah, we learned how to put on a condom in sex class."
I about fell over!!!! Apparently, the teacher had a ... uh... plastic "subject" and she asked for a volunteer to come up and apply the condom to the ... uh... model. And it's called "Health class," but he refers to it as "sex class."
Whatever happened to food fights in school????
No, seriously, I'm glad they learn this stuff. You know what they say, "The More You Know...!"
His speaking out against it would scares me too. (nm)
x
sorry, His speaking out against it would scare me too.
x
not OP but statistically speaking there are far more
There are online websites documenting how many men versus women in each city of this country and the number of women today far outweigh the number of men......
jes sayin'.............
speakers not speaking!
help! i may need to test for a new job this weekend. Cannot understand why speakers aren't working. They are plugged into wall and correct port and turned on. Mute is not on. Checked in control panel and volume is up. I tried 2 different sets of barely used speakers. What else can i check? thanks.
And speaking of kids...
One time quite awhile ago I was pushing my youngest through the mall in his stroller. There were two boys goofing around in the middl of the mall with the parents right nearby. I had to stop suddenly because one of the darlings wasn't watching where he was going and fell over the stroller. I said, "Excuse me!" with just a bit of sarcasm and the father had the nerve to yell at ME because I was rude. I then informed him that his kid was the rude one and kept walking. That one still makes me shake my head.
You sound as though you are speaking from
Would you honestly want to be stalked by a man you thought you got rid of 19 years prior??? If the answer is yes, then I will gladly introduce you two.
I am not sure why they are no longer speaking
but in due to the fact that she has no contact wtih him, I don't think he should have stayed in the house once he found out she was there. She was visibly upset when she realized he was there and began crying. My phone then rang so I missed what she said to her other housemates. It just seems like this is not the place for this to be handled.
Speaking of spiders sm
We have a friend that just can't kill any living thing (I have no problem stepping on a spider, so sue me)anyway, she found a spider as she was getting in the shower, with a towel wrapped around her she went to set it free outside her back porch. Her hubby grabbed the towel, pushed her out, and locked the door. They were not in an overly populated neighborhood, but neighbors on each side could see. She says next time, she will just step on the spider.
Speaking of Salad...
what kind of lettuce/other green leafy stuff do you like when you order/make a salad?
A couple of times I've gone in restaurants and they have brought me a salad that looked like they went out back and pulled weeds. Now, I love veggies, but that's some scary stuff. I'm simple..I just want iceberg lettuce!...then I can add other goodies that I can identify.
Speaking of homecoming...
Doesn't it seem a little early in the season for homecoming? It's h/c at my DD's school also...I always remember h/c as being at least cool, jacket weather, not still warm in the 80s...
Speaking of Gardasil, I have a
Just curious if anyone here knows why they are not marketing this to males. I have two sons, and I'm not sure whether or not I would/do want them to have this, but I remember reading several months back about Australia providing Gardasil for males also, and my sister made an excellent point about males being more likely to have multiple partners or to not want to use condoms so more likely to spread the virus, even though they cannot get cervical cancer (not saying females don't engage in risky behavior, it just seems to me that oftentimes girls are pressured into sex and all too often they do it because they think there is something special about the relationship, when really it is all about scoring for the guy, but that is just my opinion and I do know there are good guys out there, and my sons are being raised to be a part of that group), so it makes sense to me that males should also be protected from contracting the virus to begin with, and that vaccination of males quite possibly could offer a greater measure of protection overall than vaccinating females. Just wondering what you guys think.
and speaking of slang......
the word bling just kills my ears I hear people my age (50s) and older saying it and that makes me cringe, especially if they say bling, bling.... guess next time I'll just say "Oh, snap"
speaking of dachsunds...sm
My friend has a dachsund about 7 months old and she is just impossible almost to house train. She said it doesn't matter how much she takes her out or how much she swats her with a paper for going in the house she just keeps on. Does anyone have exp with housebreaking them?
Speaking of girdles.....
I just saw Dr. Rey's undergarments advertised on HSN this week. They are supposed to be great and also very comfortable. You might want to check those out. 
I am speaking with very little knowledge here..
I have only met one (1) pit bull in my life. It was very pleasant, wanted to be petted, and never hostile. What I did notice is how muscular it was and I remember thinking that I wouldn't want that dog to snap at me. All dog breeds are capable of being aggressive (especially if there is a dominance issue), but some breeds are more muscular and less *intidimated* by humans than other breeds. It seems to me (dog experts, please correct me) it would be easier to pull a Yorkie or a Cocker Spaniel off an attacked person than a pit bull. I don't know how that applies to bigger breeds like labs or retrievers.
However, my humble opinion does not make up for the fact that you could face the loss of a loved family pet. I hope it works out for you.
Speaking of pictures.....
My husband never knew his maternal GF, but was named after him. His maternal GF died long before he was born. Well, by the time my husband was in his 20s, he was the spitting image of his GF, right down to the mustache. My children used to look at the picture of their great GF and think it was daddy. They could have been twins. So, to have his mom name him after her father and then he turn out to be his spitting image, that is unbelievable! She had four other sons and none of them look like their GF.
Speaking of banks...
My DD opened her first checking acct a few weeks ago. She received her ATM card in the mail and, being a young woman, didn't want to wait on the PIN to come in the mail. So she took the card to the bank and had it activated. After this, the PIN she selected at the bank would not work, so she took it back to have it changed. She walks into the bank, tells the woman she needs to change her PIN cause the original one doesn't work...the woman takes the card, slips it into a machine, gets the new PIN from my DD, and she walks out with her card with a new PIN. The kicker is...the woman at the bank DIDN'T EVEN CHECK HER ID!!! For all she knew, my DD coulda found that card and brought it in to change the PIN so she could use it!
Speaking of shopping........
Anyone remember how the old stores were when there were 'Main Streets'? Remember the wood floors and the merchandise in wooden bins on tables? Remember the cookies and candy they sold that was all encased in glass? No escalators, and only the best stores had elevators? Elevators with a man asking 'what floor'?, elevators that creaked and had criss cross bars across the front, instead of doors that closed? Evening in Paris perfume for our mom's at Christmas, Old Spice or hankies with his initial on them for dad? Remember when all you could use was cash? And of course, those wonderful lunch counters? I remember one of them sold sardine sandwiches! Anyone remember?
Speaking from experience!
I was always attracted to younger guys, too. I met a guy who was 15 years younger than I am. Never been married, had no kids, minimal baggage, etc.
It started as totally physical on both of our parts, as I was always a 'use 'em and lose 'em' cougar.
Fast forward...We've been living together for 1-1/2 years and are getting ready to make this legal next week.
It's NOT age that matters. It's life experience that makes the connection and erases the chronological gap. My BF has lived as much and been through similar things in his life as I have been in mine. We have everything in common, from life experience to music to movies to our quirkly senses of humor. In areas where I'm weak, he's strong; in areas where he's weak, I'm strong. We're the perfect complement for one another.
Initially people think we're an unusual couple, but once they spend any time at all around us, they realize we're so much alike that we can almost read one another's minds and are perfect together.
Don't let that age difference influence you...Go with your heart. I never thought I'd change my ways and settle down, but ANYTHING is possible.
Good luck to both of you!!!
speaking from experience . . .
A similar thing happened a couple of years ago when my daughter was in 6th grade. A girl a couple of years younger told her she was going to kill her. This girl has some problems, but after thinking about it and talking with my husband, we decided to go to the principal. Now most kids say this not meaning it, but they need to LEARN IT IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. It is WRONG, it is AGAINST THE LAW and they can be arrested for making terrosit threats like that to another person. it's this warped sense of what's right and what's wrong that leads these kids to major difficulties later in life. The principal tried to blow me off, but I told her one more time and I go directly to the cops. My daughter had nightmares and slept with me a couple of nights until I went to the principal and talked to her and told her what I would do if this ever happened again. This little girl never said anything like this again and is very aware of who I am and how she acts around me. CHILDREN NEED TO KNOW THEY ARE BEING WATCHED AND WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG. IT'S OUR JOB AS PARENTS. Haven't we all typed the ER reports where they hold a person for 24 hours after making threats??? I don't care how hold the child, this is a great lesson for her to learn.
Speaking of the dinner...
My son and his best friend, along with their dates went to a quite expensive restaurant before their senior prom in downtown Atlanta. Between the 2 boys, they probably had just enough for dinner, no dessert.
After their meal, the waiter brought out 2 big plates of dessert. Well, the boys kinda panicked...not knowing if the girls had ordered the desserts behind their backs or not, and knowing that they couldn't afford to pay for them.
Long story short, the waiter told the kids that someone in the restaurant had sent over the dessert and picked up their check! My son was so excited, he called me from the restaurant...thinking his dad and I had done this wonderfully generous act. It was tempting to take the credit, but we didn't.
They have no idea who it was but it made their night! I know, not related, but just a nice prom story!
speaking of scumbags
My BIL had ALS. My SIL put him in a nursing home and immediately got herself a boyfriend. When questioned by the family she said she needed someone to help her through this ordeal. BIL died, she remarried. Nobody in the family speaks to her anymore.
speaking of ignorance...sm
This young man, in some countries, would be considered a *man* by now and more than likely raising babies. Most *courts* in this country allow a *child* to choose which parent he/she wants to live with when the parents divorce. If the *child* is old enough to choose who he/she wants to live with, he/she should be old enough to decide if he/she does not want a *treatment* that is going to cause him/her much anguish and pain and suffering. A 13-year old is not a *child*, but a young adult and has had enough life experience to know what he/she wants out of life. If you understand this correctly, the mother is not refusing *treatment*, but rather refusing chemotherapy! There is a difference. The Bible states that for every disease and illness on the face of the earth, there is a cure and treatment. I do not believe it is referring to the thought that by throwing a bunch of harmful *chemicals* into the body that some pharmaceutical research person dreamt up with thoughts of $$ in his head, as a *cure*. Nature has already provided us with whatever we need to treat ourselves and our diseases. This is what this mother is searching for. How would you like to have someone tell you that you had to have a treatment that you don't want? Would you want someone to force you to be throwing up every half hour and lose your hair??? I highly doubt it.
Speaking of working or not......
My MIL is OBSESSED with whether or not we have any money and what we do with our money. It IRRITATES me to no end! I mean we HAVE our own money, we don't ask her for money, so get out of our bees wax!
She came to our house when I was re-decorating my bathroom. I was doing it in roses and I was buying the stuff for it piece by piece and she was in the store with me looking at stuff and I showed her the garbage can I was going to get and it had roses and matched everything else, although I didn't get it that day. SOOOO my MIL goes to the dollar store and buys me a plain white trash can and brings it over and tells me and my husband that she got that for a dollar and SAVED ME $19.00 for the 20 bucks that I was going to spend on a garbage can!!!!! I told her I wanted the other one because it went with my theme and she told me that was ridiculous because this one serves the same purpose! I was so mad, but trying to hold my tonge and then my husband told me he didn't want me getting the other one cause it may "hurt her feelings". He said if i got the other one to just trade them out when she came over. FURIOUS, FURIOUS, FURIOUS, that woman STAYS in our business, it's horrible!
