Kind of hurts her claim that she is not a gold-digger - sm
Posted By: on 2007-03-08
In Reply to: Gosh, Heather Mills says she needs 20 thousand a day to get by - KittyC
When I first heard this I assumed it was $20K a month, which is a bit more reasonable, though still nuts; but $20K a day, what does she do buy gold plates every day and dispose of them? I could do a lot wtih $600,000 a month. I doubt she will get that though, maybe her lawyers figured they'd start with some totally outragous amount so she could end up getting what she attually wants (i.e. $20K a month or $100K, whatever it is). It will probably all end up being sealed in the end so no one will know.

I think she is an absolute gold digger...
...with her solid gold shovel. It's unfortunate there was no prenup. Guess they were the only two people who thought it would last.
I don't claim to know much about but as - sm
far as I know any deposit money the buyer has put down on your house goes into an escrow account (not into your pocket--and this is considered a downpayment), then at settlement the money in the escrow account is applied to the sale price of the house. The money is the buyers until settlement; granted they may lose some or all of that money if they pull out of the deal depends on how your state/or realtor handles that problem, I think they are all different. If they did pull out, then in theory you would get their deposit money, either all or minus some commission for the realtor as well. No matter what you will not see a penny until the papers are all signed, sealed and delivered.
I claim all.
I have 2 large bags to take in right now but haven't because I need to itemize a list first. It really helps during tax time. A donation is a donation whether you claim it on your taxes or not.
Priests claim
that Catholic confession is done so they can absolve you of your sins. Only Christ can do that. I've never heard a priest say confession was to make people feel better! Confession is not the same as counseling.
Quick definitions (absolution)
noun: the act of absolving or remitting; formal redemption as pronounced by a priest in the sacrament of penance
noun: the condition of being formally forgiven by a priest in the sacrament of penance
Do you claim all your donations
I do not claim what I give to church. I just don't think it's right to use that ... MY PERSONAL OPINION ONLY!
I haven't ever claimed what I give to goodwill or anything like that.
I claim ALL donations

When filing a homeowners claim consider this...sm
Homeowner's policies are determined by how many claims you file in "x" period of time, not the dollar amount. Therefore if you file a claim for instance for the carpeting and the replacement is $4000, then have another claim then you'll probably be cancelled or have rates go up, regardless of whether or not the next claim is for something with a high ticket dollar amount or not.
It is generally recommended by the insurance industry to not file claims for things that aren't for major ticket items, i.e. a fire or loss of thousands of dollars worth of stuff.
Aww, this one only hurts me when he bites me.
And he only does that when he gets really, really sassy... either he thinks my hand is prey, or worse yet, a girl gecko, and reptile foreplay involves teeth....
I do have 4 others, same species. One of the girls has been known to take a snap at me (she'll snap at anything that moves, my mighty little predator) but she has never actually clamped down on me because as soon as she gets my finger in her lil' jaws, she realizes I am not food and she lets go. Mr. Bonehead, on the other hand, is so stupid he'll hang on long enough for me to go get the camera and shoot several pictures of him hanging off my finger.... Eventually he figures out that I am neither food nor girlfriend material, and he lets go, especially if I start spraying him in the face with the misting bottle.... (At which time he just looks at me as if to say, what are you doing, I'm trying to get lucky and you're spraying my face!)
I have gotten to where I know his body language well enough that I know when he might have mischief or mayhem in mind, and I watch him carefully. He hasn't taken a chunk out of me in quite a while now. :)
I would tell your sister that either they claim the loss on their homeowners ins.

The foot that hurts is not using the pedal.
The pain is in my left foot, but my right foot uses the pedal. I think if I tried using my left foot on the pedal it would be too painful...
So sorry for your pain. I know how bad it hurts - {{hugs}}

this has nothing to do with whether or not it hurts or leaves a bruise(sm)
This is about the fact that you are choosing to let your daughter be humiliated in public. It may be done behind closed doors but there will be a witness there and everyone she knows (and probably doesn't know) will know it happened. Also, I tend to agree with the poster above who referred to this act as similar to a fetish and that whole aspect of this. This is not about punishment. It's about actually letting someone humiliate your child. I can only think of one other thing that would be worse - it has four letters, begins with an r and ends with an e. I'm absolutely appalled at this!
so sorry, it sure hurts when you lose your babies.. nm

I know how you feel and heart hurts for you
I am a huge animal lover, have 3 catss myself and lost an older girl January 2008 but they are so precious to us. I love animals so much that now do rescuing because our furries are so special, each one, every day. I understand and so sorry.
true, buit it hurts!....nm

pot of gold
I would quit my job and do as you said you would do. I would build a safe haven for all the critters who need help. I would start up a safe haven for people who need to get a new start with a home with furniture and food and a good job so they can pay for all the above at a reduced rate they could afford. When they were on their own, a new person would come in. I lie in bed at night dreaming of being able to do these two things. I fall asleep having good dreams about it. Why is it that people with no money want to help people and people with millions buy cars and fine get away homes and spend millions on a painting. Think of all the people that money could help. 
Today, if you got a pot of gold, what would be your #1 wish
I really have so much in my life already that my pot of gold would be spent helping out our furry friends, rescuing as many animals as I could and building santuaries where they would be safe and cared for.
Horrible sore throat - neg flu, neg strep - hurts sooo bad (sm)
they gave me magic mouthwash, I am using that plus Chloraseptic which they said was ok, they gave me zithromax just in case, which I started taking, I am using naprosyn and sudafed too. So....Sudafed, naprosyn, magic mouthwash, and chloraseptic and my throat is still killing me. Has anyone else had this and/or does anyone have any suggestions??? I have just had a low grade temp which is gone now, very runny nose and some body aches which are not that bad. But the throat - oh my goodness I can't even explain how bad it is.
Medicated Gold Bond........
Gold Bond may do the trick. When my grandmother was bedridden, she kept getting rashes under her breasts and arms. The doctors gave my mother Rx's all the time to try on her but they never worked. I gave her some Gold Bond to use and after a couple of days, she called and said it had dried the rash up and it was barely visible and had started going away. This rash had been there for months! All the prescriptions and this is all it took. Give it a try.
white gold. Lay's or Ruffles?

I have Command Performance Gold from hsn...sm
Not only is it beautiful, but it really works well. It has a mirror finish inside and it cleans up great. I have had mine for several years. I only use certain size pans though, so I finally cleaned out my cabinets and sold the pieces I never use. I got mine during an anniversary sale or something like that and it wasn't very expensive at all. I'm not sure how the pricing of it is now. I did buy a 3-burner portable cooktop with three 3-qt pans recently for $99 that I thought was a steal. I have used that several times and I love it!
My mom painted hers a soft gold color
in the family room, and it looks great. If you have built-in cabinets in the same room, sometimes you'll see contrasting colors used for the inside back, and that can look interesting.
That is what drug addicts and gold diggers do, unfortunately :(

US GOLD/SILVER WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS!!!
WOOHOOO!!!!! Way to go!!!!
I swear by Gold Bond Hand Cream. or Bag Balm. sm
I keep a tube of the Gold Bond right next to my keyboard. I am ALWAYS putting it on. It has a really light smell. I use Bag Balm at night with a pair of cheap cotton gloves I got at our local mission store. I also use Bag Balm on my heels aned feet both winter and summer as they are so dry they will crack and bleed. I have also heard of something called "Cornhuskers Lotion". I tried it once and it was too thin and runny. Or perhaps the lotion with the fisherman on it. Norwegian something or other.
The medicated Gold Bond is great for damp funky navels and

The drinkin kind or the rubbin kind?? sm
So....is that for me to drink so I don't notice or care that my hands are all splotchy black or to get the ink off?  Seriously though, do I use the rubbing alcohol - or like Jack Daniels?? and do I soak in it or what? I never heard of using alcohol but I'll try anything.
I feel that is best too. I have been kind, very kind, to this ...sm
child since he moved here in March. I also am not one of those parent's that thinks my children are perfect. You never know what they might do out of your presence. I do know how I have raised them though and I am all for getting them all together when there is a problem and getting to the bottom of it but anymore that doesn't seem to work. The parents automatically get defensive and start making excuses, etc. I'm going to look for somewhere else to move. I've lived here for 2-1/2 years and we never had a problem until this boy moved in. His mother is a piece of work.
Are those the red kind of
licorce? Have not tried those yet. Wonder if they would be good with, say a few olives on the side?
and that's being kind actually....sm
I could think of dozens of adjectives that are *stronger* than smarmy but probably not permitted to be typed at this website...
GMTA = great minds think alike, eh?

I would not want to pay for that kind
of therapy. If the therapist cannot stay neutral and professional...I just would not be comfortable either. If my friends and family cannot be my therapist, why would I want my therapist to act like a friend? Good luck in whatever you do.
At least you got a thank you of some kind. sm
There have been a couple times when I haven't even received a thank you note for a wedding gift.
Actually, I think it was just one time, because the other time I finally got the thank you note (lovely, hand written), but it was a *year* later! (And I thought I procrastinated... LOL)
That's kind of what
I figured, but wasn't sure. Are you talking about like the Solarcaine green gel with lidocaine? That's what I put on it, but he will barely even let me do that. I put sunscreen on them on and off all day, but guess not enough! I guess I underestimated that hot Galveston sun! Thanks for the advice.
What kind of look are you going for?
Classic? Country? Rustic? Modern?
Butcher-block (or lookalike) would work for country or rustic. Stainless steel would work for modern. Tile or slate could work for most styles, depending on the design.
I have a Corian-type solid surface countertop which I like. It does scratch fairly easily, but the scratches are easily buffed out with polish unless they are really deep.
Well, I think they are trying to do some kind of (sm)
public service or something, probably about reporting it. Brooke was on at the very end making a little speech, but I actually didn't hear it.
YAY!!! What kind did you get? (sm)
I've been using one for years, but I'm working 2 jobs now and to break the monotony, I use 2 different computers in different rooms. I 'commute' with my ergo keyboard because the one downstairs has a regular keyboard. So, I'm thinking about getting a new one. The one I'm using now is a Microsoft, but I think the model is extinct, so I'm looking for recommendations.
You're not a dork. I know how you feel. It was like... How the heck did I ever type on a regular keyboard!!?? With our job, ergonomics and comfort is everything. Congrats and have fun LOL ;-)
No and if I did that, she is the kind that
would be highly insulted, get her nose out of place. I have honest to goodness kept my mouth shut when I wanted time after time to say something- I love her but I don’t like her. Does any other mother understand this? I have walked on egg shells not saying things. Not an open communication ever with her- she is much into her friends though.
You are too kind!
 20 years ago I would have flew off the handle to have something like this, but now I know it is in His hands, not mine! Thanks for the encouragement.
Me too. I can't think of what kind of job I can do
that isn't MT...I've been doing this for so long. I can write well, and am a heckuva ghostwriter (have done blogs and resume cover letters for friends) but can't figure out where the money is in that. Sigh.
Good luck to everyone.
You all have been so kind
Thank you all so much. Words just cannot express my gratitude for the way you've extended your hearts to a virtual stranger. You're all amazing.
Romey, your post was very nice. I couldn't read it the first time I tried. I had to walk away and come back and read it later.
It is getting easier with time.
Kind of
Usually every year my husband's family gathers here in Central Florida at the beach. However, during the hurricane season of 2004, the condo that my uncle owned timeshare in got damaged to the point of being condemned. So now that we have to actually PAY for a condo, this year we have decided to head up to the panhandle which is halfway between the FL family and the AL family and in the same town as one of the aunts, namely due to gas prices and Lord their drive used to be 10 hours, no fun with kids.
As for us, we will be heading up there which we don't usually do. However, both myself and my husband work from home so we might put gas in each vehicle once a month? We also own a boat which we put gas in but this year we're telling friends who want to come out and go wakeboarding that they're going to have to chip in for gas. As an FYI, boat takes 87 and not great gas mileage. I drive a truck that takes the cheap stuff but gets 19 mpg and less while towing the boat. Husband drives a sportscar that takes 93 BUT gets like 25-28 mpg, to say the least we will be driving his car to the panhandle in May!
what kind of dog is it?

You are both so kind, and you are right
on the mark. Yes, the credit cards are his. He lived off credit cards for several years to support himself and his kids after he and his wife split up. His wife never paid child support and he paid for daycare and everything, so had to pay for extras outside of his salary on credit. Then when I came along I was doing real well as a hospital MT, but had to quit because I was here and he needed me to watch the kids. He did not understand I had a shift like a regular job. So, after several months of my back and forth work and being with the kids, the boss gave me an ultimatum daycare for the kids or I leave my job. I told my DH that my income which was very good at the time was important to me as I have supported myself my whole life including being a single mom. But he would not budge. So, I quit. It has been 3 years and most of our marriage my trying to balance kids (I love them don't get me wrong) and work. I finally become a SE, and I am giving him direct deposit on my paycheck with me taking a small percentage out for things for my son. But, since the money is now coming in he is putting it to the credit cards. Anyway, I stopped eating mostly because I got disgusted. He is always having sandwiches and chowing down in front of me. His boy who is a big eater is asking for 3 or 4 snacks a day. My son asks for snacks there's nothing left and he said to me:" Next time you get money mommy, GO FOOD SHOPPING." He said that right in front of DH. But, I just know when I do that the gorging goes on. I explained to DH about telling his son about gluttony, but he laughs at me. So, when I see him and his son eat this way, I get grossed out and am not hungry at all. I am sorry to say all this here. I actually just came back from the doc who gives me nerve pills because of my situation and he says I am doing really well coping with the situation. Which he knows what is going on. He is sending me to see a good counselor who he says," will validate me and give me support and confidence." Last time I went to see a counselor she told me to leave. But, my son loves his step sister and brother and so I want to stay. Well, sorry for the soap opera. I think when I start making more money I will get food and tires for my car, etc. but I will hide some food and snacks and siphon it into the general population here. That way they don't get snorted up by certain people. LOL. (And yes, I am putting an emergency fund away. But this is why I wish there was more transcription out there!) Thanks for your kind words and support. Between you and the doc today, it makes me feel I am not alone! :)
I kind of like this.

I have tried nearly every kind
of mascara known to woman. My favorite BY FAR is the Loreal Voluminous waterproof. It's so silky, non-clumping, etc. Just perfect. So I guess now it's time for them to discontinue it - LOL! That's what happened after I found my perfect foundation -- Maybelline's Wonder Finish.
Yup, have 2 teens and it is kind....
of interesting as one does not have "all the time in the world for that anymore." We have got to get when we can. But also he works nights and obviously sleeps some during the day. Maybe that is what has kept the fire going all these years. LOL
With that kind of money,
she could have easily afforded to pay you back without filing on the insurance. She should have offered to have paid you half back at least. I think that would have settled it.
Don't take your parents not choosing sides personally. They are probably trying to not make the situation worse than it already is. They are probably hoping you two will work this out somehow. Them getting involved will only make it worse.
Besides everything she has done, losing your family is just not worth it. I hope that you can find a way to work this out. My brother passed away and my sister is missing. I would give ANYTHING to have them back.
you are very kind; thanks for your time.

What kind of shakes do you use?
Some of them are just nasty ... any tips on ones that taste halfway decent?
What kind of programs?
Sorry to hear you are in the same boat. It's funny because until you feel or have felt that way, it's hard to relate. I truly feel that I have tried everything in my power. Now he wants me to try again and I just don't think I can change the way I feel. We recently went to a Christian marriage counsellor that his mother wanted us to go to and he kept telling me that it is my choice how I feel toward my husband. It isn't. It's like a response to something bad for you I think. Your body tells you to spit out bitter things because they could be poison. Well....I think maybe it's the same type of response! Like, no this isn't good for you, get away from it!
