did you ever wonder if you could literally be bored to death? nm

Is there a death toll yet or guess? I absolutely can't believe this...SM
They should have to pay for pain and suffering because most of us treat our animals like our children. This is not fair.
I'm sorry to all who have lost their pet to this horrible thing that has happened. They should have to pay and pay deeply!!!
I see, so all these people in Africa literally starving to death and living in mud huts; I guess he

Thank you bored MT.....
You make me feel better. But to the poster below, I do not feel I need to apologize for saying the lady is a good mother and an enabler. I meant that she is a good mother for helping out in taking care of her own. Enabling happens in all economic classes -- I have a few friends who are financially well off who still support their 20-somethings with new cars, rent/utility money, etc., but they love their children dearly and want them to have what they didn't.
In any case...yes...I just want to make peace because I don't want to stop coming to the boards. I shouldn't let my feelings get hurt so easily but I do...
Thanks again to you Bored MT and the NC MT, who came to my defense earlier.
Old folks get bored. sm
My 86-yo dad is the same way. Sticking his nose into my business. He also constantly rags on me about my son not mowing the grass, etc. I have explained to him that I LIKE to mow the grass and to please drop it and he just keeps on and on. One day he walked in my office and shook his finger at me and said, "You just wait, you just wait, y'all are drinking way too much pop." This because I buy it when it's on sale and it lasts a very long, long time. And, by the way, neither my son nor I are overweight. Older people just can't (anyways he can't) realize I am 53 years old and have lived on my own without his valuable input for a long time. He just doesn't have anything else to do.
The thing that really bugs me is when he comes over and just plops down in here when I am working and I tell him he can't be in here when I'm working and he gives me all kinds of excuses ("I can't see read what you're typing") and I have to just keep the screen minimized until he goes. He just doesn't get it. The other day I told him to go over and check on my cousin's new fence, and that got his train of thought going in a different direction and off he went. He called me one day and told me not to commit to the big diocesan pledge thing that's going on, that I am to tell them I am a single parent just barely scraping by, etc., etc., and I wanted to tell him I am not quite that destitute yet, but I just agreed.
Oh, and I have an extremely screwed-up sister, too, who Dad thinks can do no wrong and her son is the greatest, etc., etc. Oh, the stories I could tell about her! Well, it was me who gave him a place to live after Katrina and it was me who gave him my couch for his new house because he didn't have one (another delusional idea, he thinks he is broke), not her, so I just keep quiet and keep civil and remind myself he's old. When it gets to be too much I tell his sisters, who tell him to back off then he does for a while. All part of life.
Bored cats
 Catnip!! It doesn't last too long, but for a while they'll be very busy and happy.

That's the big secret? I saw some of that Oprah and got bored.
I have always been grateful for what I have, and no better things are coming my way, I can assure you. Maybe it's some sort of brainwash...with hidden subliminal messages. LOL
I know this is much to simple, but he sounds bored (sm)
I agree with testing for autism, etc.
But bored children, no matter the age, upbringing, or intelligence will act out and 'find' something to do if they're bored.
My daughter was the 'perfect baby' until she turned about 18 months. She started misbehaving, not as bad as yours, but nothing like previously. None of the usual things really occupied her physically or mentally. So I started shopping for day care. Happy girl, believe it or not. The first day I picked her up around 3 p.m. and she told me I came too soon...
She needed the social stimulation, even at that young age. BTW, she is 21 now and still the same. Very outgoing and social, but smart and still a sponge for knowledge. She's in college and when she had winter, spring, and summer breaks, she is so relieved... for about 1 or 2 days. Then she starts counting the day until school starts again.
Anyyow, I digress, but sometimes you just have to listen to your kids and do what's best for them even if it tears you up inside.
In any case, you need some help. You are carrying way too much, but I admire you for your persistence in wanting to do what's best for your kids. Wish you the best :-)
Arggh, I am eggstra bored right now.

Especially today. Tired, bored, etc. SM
I always have my TV on in the next room just for noise and every now and then to catch something going on. If it was turned off now I think I would be asleep!

son's death
I lost my mom 2 years ago and I'm still grieving her; I can't begin to imagine what it would be like to lose a child. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

death of grandmother
Truly a horrible turn of events for you. Two deaths of loved ones so close together. Lean on the one who tells us to bring our cares to Him. It is believed by many that it would be limiting God to teach that this life is the only time that God can call a person to Himself. Second resurrection may be the answer. Also preaching to souls in prison, think about why they would need to be preached to, if these were evil spirits, not human spirits, what good would it do to preach to them?God is a God of love and your family members are in His hands.
Re suicide, no sane person can take their own life. no matter how "rational" they make it sound. Those who do kill themselves are not responsible for the sin of murder because they are so sick.
Autopsies have to be done very very soon after death.

Drive your car to death
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- By keeping your car for 15 years, or 225,000 miles of driving, you could save nearly $31,000, according to Consumer Reports magazine. That's compared to the cost of buying an identical model every five years, which is roughly the rate at which most car owners trade in their vehicles.
In its annual national auto survey, the magazine found 6,769 readers who had logged more than 200,000 miles on their cars. Their cars included a 1990 Lexus LS400 with 332,000 miles and a 1994 Ford Ranger pick-up that had gone 488,000 miles.
Consumer Reports calls the Honda Civic a "Good bet" to make it to 200,000 miles.
Calculating the costs involved in buying a new Honda Civic EX every five years for 15 years - including depreciation, taxes, fees and insurance - the magazine estimated it would cost $20,500 more than it would have cost to simply maintain one car for the same period.
Consumer Reports' "Good bets" for making 200,000 miles: Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Element, Lexus ES, Lexus LS, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Prius, Toyota RAV4
Consumer Reports' "Bad bets" for making 200,000 miles: BMW 7-series, Infiniti QX56, Jaguar X-type, V8-powered Mercedes-Benz M-class, Mercedes-Benz SL, Nissan Armada, Nissan Titan, Volkswagen Touareg, V6-powered Volvo XC90.
We were not celebrating her death,
once again, I said we were celebrating the wonderful life she had and the many contributions she made to her family and society as a whole.
grandparent's death
I think you should tell them. My first close loss was my grandfather was when I was 12. It was actually unexpected. I believe they are old enough to understand and they would probably be more disappointed if someone slipped up and said something or they overheard it rather than being told up front. That way they can have some time to process it and hopefully can enjoy the time they have left with their grandfather. Please know you and your family have been lifted in my prayers.
About the death of that child
It was told on the first day of the autopsy the child died from a seizure. Now anyone who works in this field knows it takes longer and more delving into what actually is the cause of a death, especially in a young male like this. You would not have blood work returned in 1 day, no possible drugs in his system analyzed. I read the death certificate signed by mortician and that usually is not how it is done. My thoughts on this are the child suffered from autism and the parents tried to cover up as much as humanly possible as autism is not accepted in the scientology group - they considered anything like this a defect, but the other diagnosis of Kawasaki (spelling?) would have been ok- the only thing about this is the child's symptoms, looks, etc. just did not go along with a syndrome that children of his age have usually outgrown. The child supposedly had 2 attendants, monitors both in his rooms and outside to let others know should he try to leave, etc. I very much question what happened here. I have not heard about Katie- I do know lately in her pictures she has been stressed looking, haggard and worn out. Seems like she is always with Suri and hubby mostly no where around.
PA death penalty
We actually do have the death penalty in PA...it is just not used that often. 
No, had no idea until her death
Didn't know she was sick until we got the call she had died.
No, had no idea until her death
Didn't know she was sick until we got the call she had died.
No, had no idea until her death
Didn't even know she was sick until we got the call she had died.
any death that occurs is to be
disclosed. That's the way it is in my state (NE). Even if someone just died in the house, the seller is to disclose this information. I believe most states have this law, but again, it would be state-specific.
Every death comes in 3s. I grew up with that saying.
It does turn out to be true in a lot of families. So...we have Ed McMahnon (sp), Farrah, and now Michael. If no one died within the next couple days (I think that is also 3), it should be okay.
Dang! I haven't felt this bad since Elvis died.
Well, I love my hubby to death, but his sm
100-pound beloved German Shepherd attacked my 22-pound Cocker Spaniel several years ago and did $500.00 worth of damage including blinding her in one eye (popped the globe right out of the socket), I didn't spare his feelings at all when I said the dog either had to go or be put to sleep. Call me uncaring but the only thing I could think of was "OMG, what if that happened to a child" and that was all it took. We gave the dog to his cousin and it got hit and killed by a car 6 weeks later. I was relieved. I had nightmares the dog would run away and I would find her on my doorstep. I love all animals but my dog injuring a child is my worst nightmare.
Fetal death at 5 months....
....do not remember exactly how long before resumption of periods; however, daughter was born 1 year later so it could not have been long before body returned to normal. (Daughter is now 25 and mother of 2 little boys.)
Death of someone you have a close relationship
even if they are not related by blood.
In 1990, my husband and I decided for the first time since we had been married to spend Thanksgiving with his family instead of with my family (we always did a Sunday Thanksgiving with his family before because my family was so large and his family was smaller).
My father died that Thanksgiving night. It took me 10 years to forgive myself for not being there that day. I have empathy for anyone who suffers a loss around a holiday, but hey, that's just me.

A sincere ? on the death penalty
Would you watch someone being executed by lethal injection? What if he murdered your brother? Your child? or anyone else close to you?
I know there is no right or wrong answer to this. I will have to make this decision myself and it's been in my head lately. I may not know my decision until the day of.
Swine flu death in Houston. That's
too close for comfort for me. I'm not far from Houston. It's getting scary now. They're saying it may fizzle out & emerge stronger in the fall like the flu of 1918 did. Yikes!
Stern had SOMETHING to do with Daniel and Anna's death. That's what I
believe anyway. I also don't think he loved that baby. He loved that baby's MONEY. I think Larry loved Anna and loves his daughter and I think he deserves the money to raise his daughter on, put her through college, etc. Stern got what he deserved. What a creep.
Don't "let" him? There is nothing she can do except worry heself to death.

It may be because of his early death with the children and my inability
to work due to taking care of them at the time. You are right that is what it states on the website, but I can only go by my particular situation and my benefit amount. The whole process is so confusing and all, but I am only speaking from my experince. Best bet is to call with your situation and find out first hand, because in the beginning they told me I was not even eligible (with 2 small children) and then 2 years later paid a large back sum amount and started my benefits. It's the government and very confusing.
Here is an interesting web site of near death experiences- sm
near-death.com
I agree with this. I drive all my cars to death.
I've been married 23 years, and between the hubby and I, we've had four new cars in all that time, five if you want to count the car he brought into the marriage with him, which was a couple of years old at the time. For me, I had a 1986 Aerostar van which I bought new and drove to death, and now have a 1998 Windstar van with 110,000 miles on it, plus a really cool custom Yakima rack for my kayaks! We do buy all of our cars new, and it's lovely to have long stretches without any car payments, like right now. DH is driving a 2001 Taurus. But he's got lots of miles on that due to long commute to work and traveling to clients. Bought that one with no money down at 0% because my hubby, a CPA, loved the idea of free money. So that was the biggest car loan we ever had, but the loan cost us nothing. The Taurus has about 160,000 on it, and DH is starting to warm to the idea of replacing it. We're considering either a camry hybrid to save on gas, or a nice sturdy Volvo, because statistics show that Volvos average almost 20 years on the road.
