SPAM (the canned meat) is back, factory working overtime, two shifts. Only Christmas and Thanksgiving off. Remember Monty Pythom and Spamalot? One of the workers said he was glad to be working but doesn't think he could eat it. Before we knew what was in it, used to have Spam and eggs. I guess it's not that healthy but history repeating itself? Gotta keep it on the light side. A little humor helps sometimes.

Just to lighten up things a bit
My SIL and her daughter (19) have had a "fighting' relationship since day one. We have a joke about when SIL is in her 90s and lying on her death bed her 70 something daughter will come to visit her and SIL will say "Good God, is that the only dress you could find to wear?".
Everyone has drama in their family, you just learn to take the good with the bad. I am sorry the original poster was so hurt and seemingly rightfully so, but even last night while watching a reality show my DD said "I just love drama!" We had a good laugh about that and I said remember that in 10 years.
OK to lighten things up a little, what's your favorite pants to transcribe in??...sm
I love the flannel leisure pants. I wear a pair that were my husbands, they are so soft and give with the hours of sitting in the chair! What's your favorite, most comfy work attire?
I do "dress up" some too. I like to change it up, some days with jeans, some days even with dress pants and a nice top and even a little makeup, just to feel like I am a girl!
I saw this on the news this morning.
Wasn't this at Marshall. My niece is a freshman there. I am in Bluefield, VA. We are all praying for her.
I saw it on the news this morning
at around 8:30 EST. What a shocking tragedy for the family and team at this time that they expected to be the most exciting of their lives, probably.
That and the story on John Edwards. He sure is an odd one.
What the news this morning said -
That as of this year for sure one of the girls was in another competition and was listed as 14 and now she is 16 because that is what her passport says...I heard there are 3 in question who are said to be 14. I can *say* I am 19 and get a passport from somewhere to say as much, but does it mean I am not really 44?? 
Came out in news this morning that the
divorce papers say they have been separated for 2 years.
It was on the local news this morning.
There is this contractor in Cleveland, OH (I think) that was doing some remodeling work on this woman's house. He tore down a bathroom wall and the wall was stuffed with $182,000.00 of old money. The money is worth a lot more now.
Ok, here's the kicker. The contractor said he could have kept the money and not say anything to the homeowner, but he would have felt guilty. So, instead, he's suing her for the money siting a "finder's keeper's" law. The woman offered him 10% of either the money or the value of the money and he turned it down.
Me thinks he's kinda greedy. I say that this money was in the wall of a house that someone else owned and that it belongs to the homeowner.
Oh and he also hammered out some more walls, without the homeowner's permission, looking for more money.
JERK!!
Mothers of HIV children and news I got this morning
My daughter is now 35. My daughter has had HIV since 1992. She is a grown woman and she makes her own decisions; however this morning as I was asking her about how to pack meds for a trip I am going on as I figured she knew being as she had gone last year on a vacation, she advised me that she has not taken her meds since the year she was married, 2001! To say I was shocked was an understatement. I know out of those years I had asked if she were seeing her doctor and some time in those years slipped by without the visits like I thought she should be having. However she tells me this morning she does not tell me everything, especially if she thinks I might fuss at her. She had stunned silence this morning when she told me and we could not talk om depth as she was at her job but she did tell me she would talk with me later about this if I wanted to. She tells me the medicine is really toxic and her numbers have been fine during this period of time. I am wondering, are there other mothers out there like me with a loved one who is not taking their medicine and how are they doing? I know she is grown and I do not tell her how to live her life nor do I tell her about she should take her medicine- that is a person's own right but I am concerned, of course.
Read really good news on reverse this morning
including FHA which is for only over age 62 and which is insured. With anything people need to check these out. There are really good ones out there and thanks for bringing this up again.
oh lighten up on the OP - she's probably in her 20s
and let's not forget, men can't baby women because they (the men) are such HUGE babies, or most of them........*LOL*
She could have been joking. Lighten up. nm
xx
Lighten up people!
Gosh!! Can't you guys take a joke? I have 5 cats, 4 dogs, a hedgehog and a cornsnake and thought it was funny! Just like kids, they can get on your nerves and you say things you don't really mean. BTW, the kitty stew was pretty funny too!
I think it was a joke. Lighten up!

You need to lighten up before you have a stroke - nm

meant lighten up.

Come on! Some humor for a Friday. Lighten up.

See, I knew if I posted after the noon news it would be different after the evening news! LOL nm

Oh, lighten up, SLC stuck in my mind as a nice place
because instead of it smelling like a garbage pile, it was the sweetest smelling place and I thought would just let someone know about it. With all that I have been thinking about regarding my aunt having to go to an assisted living or elsewhere, SLC was just a pleasant thought instead of a downer.
I've heard good things and about things about taking prednisone. My mom was on it for SM
for awhile and it made her look so swollen. I sympathize with you.
My morning
My 9-year-old son was late for school and had to run upstairs and get his homework. He was running down the stairs, which he has been told a million times not to, when he slipped on the carpeted steps and proceeded to glide down about ten stairs. I heard the ruckus and went running towards the sound of disaster. There lay my son in a heap on the ground holding his side and moaning as loud as he possibly could. I kept asking what happened and my daughter was more than happy to give me the play by play (with every adjective possible), but her words were muffled under the sounds of his moans. I thought he must of hit the banister, as he was holding his side in the fetal position, but no one could actually hear my questions over my daughter’s story and his moans, so as loud as I could I bellowed, “What did you hit?” All of a sudden, my daughter’s rendition stopped, as well as my son’s loud moaning, and all got quiet. My son looked up at me and very seriously, with a look of utter disgust, said, “The ground!” In a little under 2 seconds I realized what a silly question that was, but what a great answer!!! I have just chuckled over this all morning and thought I would share it with all the mothers out there!
P.S. He is absolutely fine, thankfully, and I do believe making his mother feel like a dimwit was the cure-all!!!!
She ate a little this morning sm
I got her to eat this morning when I handfed her (which made me late to start working but I figured what the heck). Then I thought I would try the cream cheese trick and she took it in her mouth but dropped it and then got mad at me and ran away then tried to pee on the entertainment center. *smile* But no pee came out - so she was either just showing her displeasure or has no pee (which isn't good). Anyway, that is the update so far today. Thanks you all for your support.
Morning, oh most definitely morning!
I'm one of those tools that's always chipper in the morning doing the ol' "daylight's a' burnin" thing and annoying the heck out of the partying folk who don't get started until noontime.
Definitely morning...
I start at 5 a.m., take a break from 6:30-7:40 to get the kids up, ready and off to school, then work until I get finished for the day, usualy in time to watch GH before I have to go pick up the kids, but sometimes not!
It was on GMA this morning...
?
How many of us are up this morning? (sm)
It's 4:45 am!
I know!! I saw that this morning!!!! Wow, how sad is that??? nm
x
Thanks, this morning it was gone sm
didn't look like any disturbance in the area but I wish I could have known 100% for sure that the bunny is back home!! I think he or she is, but wish I knew for sure.
GMA this morning...sm
Did anyone catch Boyz II Men on GMA this morning? They were great! Did the oldie *I'll Be There*, sorry don't know who originally did it, but they did a great job, including all the moves...really good little concert!
They said to me this morning
"Well, why didn't you call us?". My response was, "With four of you in the room, NONE of you thought to say 'Hmmm..I wonder if she got the text'?"
Take it in the morning
I am currently pregnant. I took a test in the PM because I didn't want to wait either. I was certain I was pregnant as we had been trying. That test was neg. I waited 2 days and took another test in the AM and it was positive. If you really want to be sure you can call your doctor and see if you can come in for labs only and get the blood test. That will tell you for certain without any questions and most will do that without a problem and they can run it STAT if you request.
What a morning!
I have spent the last 5 minutes trying to get a "hair" off the side of my coffee mug. Turns out it is a crack. Then I tried to scratch my back with my pen and the pen fell into my shirt and I can't find it. It has to be in there somewhere, right?
Do I need new glasses? Is Alzheimer's setting in? Oh wait, it's Monday...never mind.
My morning's no better --
My husband took today and tomorrow off to get the trimwork painted for our new house. It needs to be done by this weekend -- about 10 bundles of 24 pieces each.
Anyway, we get up this morning and find out the kids don't have school today -- something mechanical at their school needs fixed. Then, we were expecting a delivery today for the new house from Lowe's around lunchtime. The guys called this morning at 8 o'clock and said they're at our new house waiting for our signature. 
Anything else? Oh yeah, I really don't feel motivated to get my lines in -- UGGGHHHH!
Morning Sickness
With my first daughter I didn't have any at all. I guess I was lucky. With my second daughter I had evening sickness. LOL. The only thing that would help with a cup of decaffeinated tea. It lasted I believe just a few weeks. Good luck with your pregnancy.
Third report of the morning...
Doctor starts to spell patient's name...D - i - g, as in Zebra. Yes, he's an ESL and it's too early in the morning for this!
I saw this earlier this morning, as well--sm
and on my start page, they actually showed a picture of the poor puppy! I was appalled at what I consider to be a lenient sentence for inflicting nothing but anger and hatred on a poor defensless animal. Unfortunately, treating these types of people the same way they treat other beings constitutes a crime and violates *their* rights, and would instill a punishment on us far worse than what he received. However, if it was possible to inflict on him the same as he inflicted, I would be the first in line to do so!!! I highly doubt one of his punishments of 48 hours of counseling is going to undo what is screwed up in his brain! But I would surely love to be his *counselor*.
Neither did DD who asked me this morning (sm)
Didn't even know what to tell her exactly. She's a rich brat who is going to beat the legal system, that's all I know.
This morning before my first cup of coffee
"the cat threw up in the kitchen" right behind my chair! I guess sleeping in on a Saturday doesn't pay off. The cat ate too fast. I guess she was famished. Well it could be worse right?
yes, she's still in jail this morning . . . nm

Definitely morning, one of those people who can get
going even before the first cup of coffee is done brewing....unfortunately, circumstances dictate that I work an evening shift.... so I'm pretty much a zombie while I'm typing.
Morning person
This sounds exactly like me! My eyes pop open without an alarm clock at 4:30-5:00 a.m. in the morning. I have trouble keeping my eyes open past 9:00 p.m. It's nice to know I'm not the only one in the world. I get so many "that's weird you get up so early" statements, I was starting to believe them!
did someone pee in your wheaties this morning?
Yes, it was supposed to be funny, sorry you missed the humor.
We had a few flurries this morning
But as soon as it hit the ground it melted. I absolutely hate winter. I actually go into my form of hibernation. I don't leave the house (thank God for working from home) unless it's absolutely necessary. I hate snow and cold. I don't for the life of me know why I live in the snow capital of the Northeast.
Morning star
Wow! Seeing a morning star was worth all of that. I think that is awesome! Yeh, I was tempted to go to Kohls with all those commercials yesterday, but my MT nature kicked in, I was home all day, but rested and got lots of laundry done, even cleaned the garage. Now, I don't feel guilty about neglecting a chore here or there. I'll think of something fun to do tomorrow. I hope it's as good as seeing a morning star. :)
Wow! Where are you? We got 1/2 an inch this morning
s
I never do this. But if you want to be beyond blessed this morning, please sm
email me and I will forward you this amazingly adorable thing about DOGS. I am not really a dog person, but after that, I am now! sniff sniff
I would love to share this with everyone. I rec'd it from my aunt this morning. Looking forward to hearing from a lot of you!
This is the email to use:
Morning Thunder
I'd like to kiss whomever came up with Morning Thunder tea. Yummm!
Morning Radio
In the U.S., this is the most stolen over the counter medication. Name it. 
Do you have a morning slump?
Here lately I have been. It hits around 9:00-10:00. I get so sleepy. I'm sleepy now, but if I take a nap or try to sleep I'll just feel icky when I wake up. So, I'm trying to find things to do until I over come the sleepy feeling.
Crying all morning.....sm
I have been married 15 years....this morning my husband came in and said, "Eric said your storage building is ready!" You might think I would be happy. He thought I would be. The problem is that in 15 years of marriage I have been able to pick out nothing. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I would like an outside storage building. I mentioned a couple I had seen. My husband did not discuss it with me at all but went to the neighbor and had him build a storage building. I have no idea what it will look like, no idea what size, what color, anything. It wouldn't be such a big deal but I honestly don't get to pick anything out.
11 years ago I had just had a baby and my husband picked out our house while I was home recovering from a c-section. He told me this was where we were going to live. He had refused to even look at any of the houses I had liked during my pregnancy. He told me we would remodel this house any way I wanted, get any furniture I wanted. I was so anxious to get out of the rundown noisy apartment building we were in that I agreed to move here. Then of course, no remodeling, no new furniture.
Three years ago I really needed a new car. My husband said he would start looking for one. HE would start looking for one for me. A year later HE had still not found one. I found a used, reasonably priced car and told him I wanted to buy it. He said no. I told him I really needed a vehicle. It was less than $10,000. He finally agreed but was mad at me for a year over it and told his parents that I had gone out and bought myself "a new car". It was actually 4 years old. A year ago he bough a boat for $10,000 that I had never even seen and brought it home and announced we had a new boat. Six months ago he bought a $30,000 truck and took me to see it at the dealership after he had already bought it.
So now I am a b*tch for not being happy about the new storage building. woohoo
I had a wonderful morning and
I stand by what I said. You are not the only one who has worked in pediatrics/endocriology field, others have as well and like I said before, this is a normal age for a girl to start her period WITHOUT having them checked out. Some African American females start much younger than 12- but I guess you have all the knowledge there also, right? Only someone who knows zilch about a young girl would bring up having them checked out about a normal bodily function and listen you sounds like a school marm.
LOL. Thanks. I needed that after the morning I just had. nm
