straw caves
I think a good idea is to put bales of straw/hay around the outside of his kennel, stacked, then loose straw/hay in his dog house.. Hay is very expensive and scarse in our area this year - luckily, my fiance has quite a bit and I'm sure he will help me out. . .
straw caves
We stacked several bales around the inside of the kennel and the dogs had a blast jumping on them, running, and then jumping off. When my son was young he would run around the outside while they ran inside and had so much fun.
My mom had this thing about CAVES. She would always tell me - (sm)
"NEVER go in a cave - EVER!" If you do, it will collapse on you, trap you in the dark, and kill you!" (All this because of a tiny little hole in a very large boulder that we used to sit in, and we called it "The Cave". Well, she kept drilling that into my head, and then (I'm dating myself, now...) the summer that "Tom Sawyer's Island" opened at Disneyland, my parents took my siblings & me. We went to Tom Sawyer's Island, and at one part was a fake cave you could go in. It was a one-way cave... you were supposed to go in one side, and come out the other. It also had all these fake wind noises, moans, etc. in it. Pretty scary when you're a little kid! WORSE, here were my parents taking me by the hand and trying to DRAG me into that cave! I had enough distrust of my parents that I was certain they were trying to KILL me. About halfway through the cave I broke away from them and bolted.... of course going out the "In" side of the cave, against traffic! Once out, I recall I ran and hid in the bushes for AGES... and my parents ended up spending hours looking for me.
Yes, thanks to God and Peter who said "I will build my sm
church on this rock." And ever since, as Christians, we've always had a sense of community, like-minded believers who fellowship and gather and love one another as we worship, pray, and serve God. It is an amazing thing. I sure do wish you were a part of that! LOL I love you and you are absolutely hysterical and hilarious - Christian or not. I don't care! You are awesome. I've always said if I were in Maine (I'm in the south) I'd be your friend. Every day of the week! And we wouldn't have to talk about God or anything. I'm so sick of religion and religious people and people who throw stones. Ugh!
You say spanking does not build trust?
It sure makes a kid do good, though. I would not raise my kids to be terrors and surely not with g'kids. I just do not have it period.
Start with what's on sale and build from there ... sm
1. Stick to from-scratch meals when you can as opposed to anything packaged and/or processed.
2. Bake bread from scratch, too, rather than buy, if you can, or at least pick up some of the frozen loaves of dough and bake 'em, which is usually still considerably cheaper.
3. Potatoes (unless you load 'em down with something fattening or need to avoid starches for some reason) are generally pretty cheap, as are eggs, various types of pasta, chopped frozen vegetables. When I'm in "conservation mode," I tend to make a lot of macaroni salads, potato salads, egg salads, etc., either as standalones or as sandwich fillings (and if you stick to low- or no-fat dressings, sour creams, salsas, etc., you can stay reasonably healthy).
4. Cereal (both hot and cold) and milk, if you buy wisely for both price and nutrition, are usually a reasonably cheap meal, as well.
I'm sure you know all this, but just brainstorming. But definitely try to take advantage of what's on sale and incorporate that when you can.
and while I'm on a roll I might add that he found time to build a barn but not fix the obvious (s
problems with the house. Putting your wants before the NEEDS of your family is called being selfish. Maybe you are doing the same thing so you can relate to him so well?
be sure to try freezer straw. jam!!
it is the absolute BEST tasting jam ever, and so quick and easy to make; add the pectin stuff/sugar etc, wait 5 min or whatever instructions say and put in freezer. So fresh tasting compared to cooked jam and great on ice cream, waffles, etc. (recipe on instructions in suregel type boxes)
The straw that broke my back was
when my 90-year-old father was killed in an accident. I was only relative left, no siblings, no other living kids - well my son said I had got it ALL, thinking he should have more than the $60,000.00 my father had given him and his children for their school/college. How greedy can a person be? I should have had EVERYTHING but not the case. When my grandparents died, I think I got some dishes, maybe and oh, yeh and a watch from my grandmother. Rememberence type things which I am thankful for. My DIL's family just took completely over. I have a great life, though and I figure things will be like they are supposed to be. No sweat off my brow.
Just get him some straw bales and remind him how

Long Island IcedTea, ahhhh. just one, tho - with a straw.
.
Mocha - 2 shots, nonfat milk, extra hot, no foam and a straw pls.

However, you need to be clear about what YOU want and not just tell them
that it's their job. You do have some responsibility in this as a parent. Tell them that you expect them to help your daughter get caught up along with the rest of the children who are behind, and that your child being behind is directly due to the result of poor handling during her kindergarten year when there was lengthy teacher absence and that because of that, their rules regarding children having to be 6 months behind academically is moot. You might suggest that they provide a separate classtime with the children who are behind with direct emphasis on only the problem areas and quickly get them back on track. Good luck.
Should have been more clear, huh? - LOL
Thank you, too. It is so very clear to me that SM
you are the type of person to love with all your heart. My sister during the last week of her cat's life slept on the floor with Mary Beth (her beautiful cat of many years) because Mary Beth could no longer jump up and down from the bed. We do things we never thought we would do for these beautiful creatures God has given us. You are such a loving pet owner. That made me cry reading your posts. I celebrate the life of your cat and the love you gave her. I celebrate the life of all the pets my family has owned, loved and still miss. We all feel what you are feeling and you are not alone. Your love enabled you to give her all those years, and I believe your love will get you through.
Let me try to be more clear...lol
I wash my hair with the dandruff shampoo...although I don't have dandruff, it also kills germs that cause acne. I use the facial scrub in the shower to open up my pores so that when I put on the peroxide, it can get into my pores. If you just dab on peroxide without the scrub first, it won't do much.
Please clear something up for me here.
Unless this man's ex-wife was a non-believer, he technically can't have a relationship with any other woman at all because it would be considered adultry....right?
As far as snow, it's been clear. But
as far as traffic goes in general, good luck. I live only about 45 minutes away and on a Saturday it can take hours to get in, especially bad at the tunnels, and parking is also the pits, can be very expensive, one time it cost me $40 for a few hours. Is there a train or bus you can take? Good luck and have fun!
Clear up your post, who has
mother issues? Don’t know who you are talking about, sorry.
True, I should have been more clear that my ask to

Re-read that - boy that is clear as mud isn't it? sm
I went to see my family, stayed in an inexpensive condo (cheaper than hotels in the area), realized they had not charged me and told them, now a couple months later they still have not charged me. I want to call again and tell them but I am also very broke. What would you do?
NO, it is NOT clear; Why did your stepbrother's
wife and his children NOT inherit? YOU were NOT the only heir, as you state in your post...
'My father died in 2004, leaving me as his only heir..'
No, there was his wife and his 2 children.
That his wife remarried, does not forfeit her rights to her inheritance from her first husband.
You have nothing to do with them? You are the step-aunt and step-sister-in-law.
How do you know that she married again? It seems that you are withholding evidence to the authorities, so that you can cash in the WHOLE anmount!
It is MORE than obvious!
perhaps I wasn't clear enough for you
My husband accompanied my son to practice. The then assistant coach was trying to make conversation with him. He asked my husband where he worked -- typical question, like how's the weather? My husband answered honestly and left it at that. This guy went on to tell his life story. My husband did not repeat this to anyone other than his supervisor when he realized it was a breach of ethics for him to be around him.
Again, my husband approached the head coach about the situation and without going into detail about the man's criminal history, asked for a transfer. The head coach referred him to the league president, who asked why he needed a transfer. He then told the league president, who does the background checks and would have found out anyway, why he needed the transfer. The league president then informed the head coach, who who told the assistant coach why he decided to remove him from his coaching staff. We certainly did not discuss this with any other parents on the team. We had also requested that the head coach not discuss with the assistant coach until and if it would be necessary. We were hoping to avoid the situation entirely by transferring our child, not the ex-convict's kid. Silly us to think we were doing the right thing?
The last thing we wanted was for any of this to come to light. We tried to handle it discretely. I'm guessing you're also one of those people who likes to make the people trying to do the right thing out to be the bad guy.
I should have made my post more clear, sorry...
I meant *generally* speaking. You seem to me to rather be the exception to the rule. MOST folks (not you, evidently and this is a GOOD THING *S*) in the deep south (and I am not speaking of places such as south Florida) - are against abortion and pro-choice - not all of them but PLENTY of them.
I did NOT mean to offend....please forgive me....
I made it very clear to the office
before I told them my concerns she was not to know. You aunt seems to have more going on, i.e. being unrealistic about trying to climb all the steps you talk about. You should not feel guilty about trying to explain the situation at your place. Is this your mother's sister- who else can step in and speak up for you? My aunt got sorta snippy with me (never had before) but now since she is having to move seems more calm and more accepting- I think she is actually looking forward to it after wanting to be on her own for all these years. Just could not do it anymore and I applaud her doctor for stepping in like I wanted him to. I went behind her back but she would tell me things and then ask that I not tell her son and her living alone I knew I had to step in which I did. She adores her doctor and I knew this, therefore that is the person I approached.
Clear fingernail polish
I have never done this myself just thought of it when reading your post. Maybe try coating the keys with clear finger nail polish once a month.
There may be one judge, but the Bible is quite clear that any person
who denounces God will not go to Heaven. I am very comfortable in the fact that I have salvation.
And when they speak English, it is perfectly clear. Just go
NM
The Bible is also pretty clear when it says judge not lest ye be judged.

I actucally meant on the envelope. Sorry I wasn't very clear. nm

If you want clear aqua water and beautiful beaches
or at least they have been in years past, try Cancun. What surprised me was the sand there not hot even with days being in the high 90s or so. Visited other beaches in Mexico as well but Cancun takes the cake. Been to several places in Jamaica but most of the time either Club Med or inclusive resort so mostly used the pools where we stayed. I had the best vacation though ever in my life in Montego Bay, cannot say enough for the fun my children and I had there - would definitely return there. Lots of side trips, just really good times.
To be clear, if you email through MTStars your information is private.
This had been an issue brought up in the past and I have tried to explain that we do not see your emails. The only email content we see are any emails that come from offshore IP addresses and that is because we do not allow solicitation by direct offshore services.
I wasn’t clear enough, I meant when others bath your furkids
Sorry..
2 degrees here in Wisconsin...clear sky...great night for eclipse!
Thanks for all the info!
Reading your post it is clear the love you gave this wonderful animal SM
thoughout her life. You were together for many years and you gave her a wonderful life. Please try to always remember that. A woman who cleaned for my mom cleaned my apartment once and when I showed her a dog collar that I have that my darling Westie wore I broke down. This woman knew my Westie and loved her, too. I cried and said I had some feelings of guilt that I was dealing with. This wonderful woman said something to me that might help you now. She said
"Just think of the life you gave her. Now think of the life she might have had if she had fallen into the hands of someone who did not love her." That really helped me a lot. I hope in time it will help you, too. God Bless you.
I've always let my kids keep messy rms as long as floor was clear & no food was in room. Bigger

It's not the dancing part, it's the people part that I don't like. K? We clear now?
