Recurring bathroom dream & ex dream
I have a recurring dream about having to go in a public bathroom and not only can everybody see me, but I am barefoot, wearing bell-bottoms and the floor is always wet. Yuck!
I also have recurring dreams about being back with my abusive ex and trying to get me and the kids away from him. We have been divorced 22 years, but I have these dreams frequently!
I have had the same dream
about teeth falling out. It is said that underlyling stress/anxiety can cause this, and also fears about personal appearance (think I remember something about money too). It's interesting to read about possible meanings of dreams.
Of course, "they" say too that sometimes it just means it's probably time for a visit to the dentist, so who knows (in my case I needed to go to the dentist, but I definitely had underlying stess issues as well. 
Your living your dream like never before?
?? That doesn't make sense.
My dream house ....
would have more than 1 bathroom and more than 2 closets. We live in the old farmhouse my DH grew up in. It has 4 bedrooms, which is great, but only 2 closets and 1 bathroom for 5 people. So my dream house would have at least 2 bathrooms and I would love a huge walk-in closet like I had when I was a kid. It would also have a library with lots of shelves for my books and a big stone fireplace with great furniture to curl up in and read. And if this wonderful house could be situated by the beach, I would be in heaven.
Dream Home
We just recently built a new home, not total custom build but we got to choose from about 15 different designs, and we chose the flooring, paint colors, fixtures (standard or upgrade), exterior color, brick, etc. The only thing I would change is the two smaller bedrooms (besides the master) could be a little bit larger.
BUT...the landscaping would be what made my dream home complete. I would love to have a nice-sized deck with one of those retractable awnings, with a nice big grill and comfortable seating. I would also love to have about an acre of land with some fairly mature trees where I could design wandering paths that would be highlighted by flowering shrubs, fountains, birdhouses, statues....
It was a dream/fantasy. sm
I was a little confused myself, but at the end of the episode Betty walked in and Hildy was crying in her bed. I guess it was her way of getting some closure. I hope that clears it up for you. 
dream trip
Been trying to get my mom to go with me to Ireland....she lost her DH last year....I'll keep trying!

Never dream of being w/o the kids just - sm
the DH.......he is out of town this week, very nice and quiet here, no drama with the kids at night (usually there is something a few times a week, or him picking a fight with me). Though I would not say no to an evening or weekend all by myself, I probably would not know what to do (unless I had work, which I usually do). As for being bored and lonely, no I doubt it. I lived by myself for about 6 months while I was at school, loved every minute of it. I have plenty of interests so I'd find lots to do!
a girl can dream.. ;)

I once had a dream that my dog got killed - sm
and a week later to the day, she did. And it happened exactly like in my dream.
67 Firebird is my dream car sm
Very similar to the Camaro. My dad had a 67 Firebird when I was younger and sold it when I was about 13 so my brother and I wouldn't be able to fight over it when we could drive. It got wrecked about 2 years later 
dream interpretation
but does anybody study dreams? I had a very vivid dream last night. I was riding in a car, a passenger in the back, and all of a sudden my oldest's father appeared beside me. He handed me a colorful bill with our current president's picture on the front with a $2 demonination on the front but he made sure I turned it over to see that it was worth $100. We stopped on a loney stretch of road and I asked him if he would like to come with me and he said no, i can't but we hugged and i told him i loved him and goodbye.
What's so weird is that I haven't seen him in 10 years. Our son is a product of a fling with no love involved and he has never met his child, though he has paid court orded child support whenever he feels like it. We didn't part on the best of terms, just more or less a straightforward admission that he didn't want anything to do with the child. I have honestly given him little thought in the 10 years since i left, much less dreamed about him. It's just strange how things pop up in your dreams.
I just wondered if anybody could lend any insight into this, I can't get it out of my head!
No, but if it is legit, it always sounded like my dream job!
 Paid to shop? I'm there!
I'm from the good ole' south. Would never dream of doing that! sm
But, on the other hand, I'm not against a woman's choice to do so either..Although my in-laws would definitely have a tad bit to say bout that one!
We're also going to see Dream Girls...sm
I got the Publix 1/2 off deal for the Wednesday night show so we could afford the orchestra level seats.
We go to local playhouses, i.e. Theatre on the Square in Marietta, Kudzu Theatre (Roswell) Alliance Theatre, Theatre on Main (Acworth) and used to like Big Top Theatre but they've just shut down and the head guy moved to Florida after the events that shut down the new Cobb Performing Arts Center in Kennesaw. I still can't believe that happened after they spent $35 million to build it and it was only open a few months but that zoning stuff got them into trouble.
Anyway, we watch for shows and get tickets for the ones we know we'll enjoy. Our teenager babysits the youngest child for the shows that aren't acceptable for a 7-year-old to see.
My dream would be a weekend of him helping (sm)
When he and I and the kids all work on getting everything back in order. But he would be angry the whole time, as if he shouldn't have to be doing it. I may end up hiring someone. I have thought about it all day. It would be worth it!
Dream Home Ideas....
Think of your dream home, and tell me something about it. Something that makes it different or special. Like how one room is made entirely out of fish tanks, or the whole 5th floor is a skating rink. Things like that.. be creative!
Dream Home Ideas
An indoor basketball court!! We have the room to create one on the outside because we have three acres (perhaps next spring), but indoors would take care of being able to do this year-round. We live in the country with a good-sized home, but double "his and hers" vanity sinks, instead of one, would also be nice.
I dream he and George are chasing me. Being them,

no but I always dream about a snake biting
different situations but the snake ALWAYS at least breaks the skin, no matter how much I try to protect him. :(
Well, I guess I'm 75% of a young man's dream! n/m

I was a teacher's and parent's dream
I was the sort of kid who'd ruin the curve for everyone else. I studied all the time, had straight A's, was the Editor of the school paper and the yearbook, worked in the school office, and graduated at the top of my class. About the most outlandish thing I did was get a part-time job at Burger King. eek!
Mazel tov! Hoping it really is a dream come true for you! :)

Grilled - I Dream of Jeanie or Bewitched. nm
Hi!
A mother's dream! My children are young so (sm)
right now they say sweet things, well at least my 8 year old does...lol. I only dream that when they are your daughter's age they will think that highly of me :-) Congratulations!
RE: PREGNANT MT
1) Yes with my daughter.
2) the entire 9 months....
1) not with my sons at all.
Good luck, but try keeping soda crackers with you and eat those and 7-up or bottled water....that does help somewhat. Be sure and let your doc know about it. good luck with your pregnancy!!
You said we got pregnant, you and your
sister, aunt, who was the other female you are speaking about when you said we got pregnant again?
pregnant WE...
I too referred to US being pregnant, not just me...If you're blessed enough to have a supportive and loving partner who takes an active role in the pregnancy, then you both indeed are pregnant...You were blessed twice after your miscarriage...congratulations! 
She is pregnant again.
A savvy female lead my son to believe he could come live with her, and everthing would be paradise. This was when he was 17-years-old. She was pregnant at that time with someone's elses kid. He did not care. He loved her as much as a 17-year old can love. OK fast forward. Now he is just 22. He has had 2 beautiful daughters in the meantime. I think that is enough. Neither one of them are working. I go ever there today on my day off, and he says, "mom there is no easy way to tell you this". She is PREGNANT again. Supposedly she had an IUD, I don't believe that. Either they are both lying or my son is gullible. They both claim she had a 10-year IUD in so it is "mean to be". If they had the finances to support 4 kids, great news. But they don't. I am spending at least 250 a month keeping their utilities on, that does not count food.
How did you first know you were pregnant?
Did you notice certain symptoms before taking a test or going to the doctor? I am just wondering because my period is 2 months late and my breasts are so swollen and ridiculously sore. I am hesitating to take a pregnancy test because we have been trying for almost 2 years and every time I never turn out pregnant. Looking forward to reading your replies. Thanks!
yes and no, I got it when I was pregnant and had hypothyroidism
but it does NOT have to be underlying sign of malignancy, they are just being careful. Sometimes it's just rotten luck.
When I was 7-1/2 mos. pregnant, my hubby and I went as a sm
pregnant nun and a priest.
Has anyone ever been pregnant and had a CT angiogram done? sm
I have a previous history of PE and thought I had another blood clot to my lung. So after a night stay in the hospital, several doctors telling me that I really needed this done, that it could be possibly life-threatening for me and the baby, that I went against my better judgment and had one done with the contrast dye. I am almost 10 weeks pregnant and I know this is a very critical time for the development of my little one. Good news, no blood clot, but I am wishing I would have listened to my own heart and not what everyone else was telling me. They did shield me extremely well. I laid on one lead shield while two huge, thick lead shields were placed directly below my lungs on top of each other. Any input would be helpful and any prayers would greatly be appreciated also. The day before I saw my beautiful baby kicking and acting fiesty on ultrasound. It would kill me knowing that I did something wrong to it.
Ever wonder why pregnant women don't
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Scientists think they have figured out why pregnant women don't lose their balance and topple over despite ever-growing weight up front.
Slight differences in the spine allow women to carry the growing load of pregnancy without toppling over.
Evolution provided slight differences from men in women's lower backs and hip joints, allowing them to adjust their center of gravity, new research shows.
This elegant engineering is seen only in female humans and our immediate ancestors who walked on two feet, but not in chimps and apes, according to a study published in Thursday's journal Nature.
"That's a big load that's pulling you forward," said Liza Shapiro, an anthropology professor at the University of Texas and the only one of the study's three authors who has actually been pregnant. "You experience discomfort. Maybe it would be a lot worse if (the design changes) were not there."
Harvard anthropology researcher Katherine Whitcomb found two physical differences in male and female backs that until now had gone unnoticed: One lower lumbar vertebra is wedged-shaped in women and more square in men; and a key hip joint is 14 percent larger in women than men when body size is taken into account.
The researchers did engineering tests that show how those slight changes allow women to carry the additional and growing load without toppling over -- and typically without disabling back pain.
"When you think about it, women make it look so very easy," Whitcomb said. "They are experiencing a pretty impressive challenge. Evolution has tinkered ... to the point where they can deal with the challenge.
"It's absolutely beautiful," she said. "A little bit of tinkering can have a profound effect."
Walking on two feet separates humans from most other animals. And while anthropologists still debate the evolutionary benefit of walking on two feet, there are notable costs, such as pain for pregnant females. Animals on all fours can better handle the extra belly weight.
The back changes appear to have evolved to overcome the cost of walking on two feet, said Harvard anthropology professor Daniel Lieberman.
When the researchers looked back at fossil records of human ancestors, including the oldest spines that go back 2 million years to our predecessor, Australopithecus, they found a male without the lower-back changes and a female with them.
But what about men with stomachs the size of babies or bigger? What keeps them from toppling over?
Their back muscles are used to compensate, but that probably means more back pain, theorized Shapiro, who added: "It would be a fun study to do to look at men with beer bellies to see if they shift their loads."
It's her 16 y/o sister who is pregnant, not her.
Unbelievable.
Oregon man says he's pregnant
Thomas Beatie, who used to be a woman, appeared in the most recent issue of The Advocate, a magazine for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender readers, Portland, Ore., television station KPTV reported.
Beatie wrote the article, which includes a picture of him while he was 22 weeks pregnant. According to the story, he went through a sex change, but decided only to have chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy.
Beatie was able to keep the reproductive organs he was born with. The article said he stopped getting the injections and was able to get pregnant.
Beatie, who lives in Bend, wrote he was once pregnant with triplets, but the pregnancy was life-threatening and he lost the fetuses. Now, Beatie said he and his wife, Nancy, are expecting a little girl in July.
In the article, Beatie described some of the challenges he and his wife have faced -- they said doctors won't treat them. The couple met 10 years ago and Nancy is not able to have children.
He wrote in The Advocate that their situation "sparks legal, political and social unknowns."
The couple were out of town Monday and unable to speak with the station.

I would like it that they don't get pregnant to begin with.
n,m,
Ohhhhh....Pregnant!
When I was pregnant that was the only time I experienced Charlie Horses! I would get leg cramps so bad at night it would literally jolt me out of a sound sleep! I wonder if it also has something to do with the pressure the baby is putting on the pelvic area and somehow affecting the blood flow to the legs, in which case, supplements aren't going to help?
Have you heard about the pregnant man?
I was just watching The View. The man (woman) who was pregnant last year, is pregnant again?
First off, you're pregnant
that in itself will make this situation feel 10 times worse than it is. Having said that, I do agree that I would be a little miffed, myself. It's not like you're intruding on her wedding day/weekend. She's already married and this is simply a celebration party for her on Friday night.
I would also agree with the poster below that you have grown apart. Being that you've been married for 10 years and are expecting, I would venture to guess that you're probably a little more mature (for lack of a better word) than she is as well. I'm not busting on single women, here, it's just that I remember the "fun years" before I got married and then before I had children. You're just at different places in your life.
The best way to handle the situation is to go to her party as planned. I would not splurge for the $50 gift card. I'd go with something a little more subtle. If you'd like to rekindle the friendship, you might include a photo of the 2 of you back in your "wild days." You don't need to stay for the entire party, either. Anyone would understand a pregnant woman would be tired from such a long travel and then the party. When you leave, be sure to seek her out and let her know that you'd still like for her to come to your celebration the following day. If not, let it go.
If you haven't done so yet, be sure to send her a thank you card for the gift. Believe it or not, some people would think they didn't need to get you anything if they weren't coming to your party (not that that makes it right). You have so much to look forward to and baby showers are way better than bridal showers/receptions anyday. You can eat as much as you want and all your guests will say is how "cute you look". Don't let this dampen your day.
I did not get bloating when I was pregnant....sm
Congrats on being pregnant.
But....since I did not want to go out and buy lots of maternity clothes (at least at first) as we knew we would only have one child... I used rubber bands on my pants and jeans. You loop one end through the buttonhole and hook the other end over the button. You have to wear a tunic length top of course, but it was worth it. Instant ease and comfort.
Congrats again!!
I was another statistic - pregnant at 18 - sm
After years of growth and raising children, first in my first, forced, bad marriage and now in my second marriage, which so far has lasted 23 years, I came to a couple of conclusions.
First, I can't speak for all girls, but I know I reached out for sex as a substitue for the loving and caring I was supposed to get at home, not just from my father, but from my mother, too. I vowed to make sure my children would get the love they needed and not feel it necessary to look elsewhere while they were still "children."
Second, living a virtuous life generally means living a simpler life. Yeah, you have to put up with peer pressure, but then you don't have to worry about sneaking around, getting caught, getting pregnant, getting STDs. You don't have complicated decisions to make about adoption, abortion, how to tell your partner you have herpes, etc, etc, etc.
As my kids were growing, what we would watch on TV was the launch pad for conversations about morality and common sense. No lectures - they wouldn't have listened - just "see how complicated her life just got?" or "my, he just had to heap lie on top of lie!" etc.
My daughter is 17 and graduating this month, my son is 20. They are both still virgins (yes, they communicate with me and I do know!). My daughter is very goal-oriented and set on college and not letting anything get in the way.
How we raise our children CAN make a difference!
I'm not pregnant - but my sister is and only her husband ....sm
knows besides me. She's only about a month along. This is their 2rd child. Her son is fine and he'll be excited to find out that he'll get a brother or sister in the future when they tell him, grandparents, etc.
I'm pregnant - 5 weeks along, 1st pregnancy....sm
My husband & I are thrilled that we conceived so quickly, especially with my being 43 and him being 50. We got married in June and started trying then. His 15-year-old daughter and our 6-year-old foster daughter are excited. Next year will be fabulous as we'll be finalizing the adoption of our foster daughter in January and having a baby in June!
At least in the inner cities, this is when the kids are getting pregnant. Age 11 and up.

After suffering a miscarriage, I'm pregnant again!....sm
I had a miscarriage in November at 8 weeks after having abnormal test results and got pregnant after my first period in December. I'm now 7-1/2 weeks and the baby looks great on the ultrasound and blood work they drew. I'm due on September 14th and my husband & I are tickled pink (or is that blue?) 
For those of you who responded to my post in November about having the miscarriage thanks for the support and encouraging us to try again. I've had a lot of women tell me that they had a successful pregnancy after a miscarriage and while the emotional pain of the miscarriage is still there, it was comforting to know I wasn't alone.
Oh, my, did not know you included a male as being a pregnant
person, thought surely a we were pregnant meant another female, just call me old fashioned but when I grew up only females got pregnant, carried the babies, had the babies. Just have never heard of a male being pregnant but will take your word for it. I guess times have changed.
To be honest, when I was pregnant with my 3rd child, ,sm
I developed, around the 7th month, a nesting instinct where I could NOT sit still. I went from a couch potato to cleaning freak. I also began to drink tons of water for the first time and cut my cola consumption in half and then went completely to diet drinks, which I will have 3-4 per week now (no more colas). I found that just moving, piddling around, bending and stooping over picking up toys and clothes A LOT during the day has helped greatly to tighten up my stomach muscles. We live on a hill and I like to walk it 5 or 6 times a day.
The key to my weight loss was not sitting in front of the t.v. for long periods of time. I know that 99% of the people on this website work many hours a week and spend a lot of time sitting down in front of the computer. To you I say, get up, get moving all throughout the day, even if it is just 5 minute intervals at a time. It took me years (4 or 5), to keep my weight down like this, but I'm not a size 6 anymore. I am very comfortable with my weight, but it is the daily disciplines that will help you. Start now. Drink plenty of water, walk, take care of yourself and know that you are worth it!
Oh, one more thing! As soon as I get up in the morning I put my socks and tennis shoes on. Always. This helps me to move around a lot quicker and motivates me to do so much around the house. Good luck. Baby steps.
I would have hit that panic button if she said pregnant!
This is exactly what is happening all over the states, people in a panic, not me - I told her just to check with her physician next week. If it is not a mysterious box or package being found and a panic about that, it is this or something else, all the time. I was actually relieved to hear what she said!
milkman and pregnant woman
When I was young some friends did the milkman and pregnant woman thing. Actually, he was in the milk industry, so it was pretty funny. All he needs is a white shirt and pants and a milk bottle rack with milk bottles. If you are pregnant, there you are! Instant costume! I tried to get my husband to be a horses a$$ and I would be the front, but it was a no go, because he was insulted that I thought he was perfect for the part. Later on, he admitted he was one sometimes, but didn't want to call attention to it in case there was anyone left who had not noticed yet. Adam and Eve would be good, except you would get arrested for going without clothes unless the party is at a nudist colony or you could go as Adam and Eve after he ate the apple and they both promptly found leaves. Get some leaves and an apple and there you are! It would be cheaper and easier though if you went to the colony because all you would need then would be an apple! I wonder if nudist colonies have Halloween Parties?
People can get pregnant on an IUD. I have two relatives who did.
You have to wonder why she hasn't had her tubes tied, and why he hasn't had a vasectomy and gotten a full-time job since he's perfectly able-bodied. At least if they're living off the dole, one or both should be going to college on grants to eventually be able to support four kids.
