complex (aka 'Leaf-blower Nazis') - actually stole my tiny little hummingbird feeder! It was a little globe with a red flower on it, mounted on a stake in the ground. They were removing old plants outside my bedroom window for the winter, and I saw they had knocked over the feeder. By the time I had put on my jeans and shoes and gone outside to refill it, (about 3 min. later!) it was already gone. I can replace if of course, but it was a gift from my best friend, so had sentimental value.
I HATE dishonest people!

Any avid gardners with advice on growing great cantaloupes? sm
I seem to be able to grow everything but these. It seems something always gets them about 2 weeks before they are ready to harvest. I live in mid AL. What can I do to successfully grow one of these wonderful, yummy things? 
Lord NO, 28-Yo has own apartment
anger isn't all the time but when it comes up it is very uncomfortable for those around....my husband is the type that doesn't believe in counseling, he thinks they jut want your money and of course he hates Dr. Phil!!! Really he doesn't like to talk about his feelings..
Apartment ... okay ... job, stupid
I can see why apartment managers would care, but an employee is not going to have to pay his boss, so it's unfair to use credit against a potential employee.
People end up with credit issues for a variety of reasons and it's not a fair assumption that they will not perform in their jobs.
So many ways people struggling financially get pushed further down ... savings gets below a certain amount - the bank charges a fee; a person misses a payment or pays a little late - another fee, etc.
I can see if someone is just not paying, but when people are in hard times, it's not fair they can push you further down!
Obama said last night on Jay Leno he is going to do something about the credit card companies ability to charge ridiculous fees, so that's a start at least.
I have also known people trying to make their way off welfare, but everytime they earned a little extra, they were shorted funds from their welfare and could never save to get out of the hole.
Our government and society surely needs an overhaul!
I wish your son all the luck, as he, and all of us needs it!!
renting an apartment
 What to you think of the idea that landlords should lower the rent money?
I wish we could all go the week of the graduation but their graduations are always a week earlier th
ours. So actually all three of my kids are still in school this week while all of hers will already be out. My youngest is actually missing school to go but my two older kids have finals so they can't go at all that week.
Thank you. I guess I'm just trying to find a nice way to say it without causing friction and keeping the peace.
My DH is your typical male, just deal with it when the time comes whereas I want to take care of things right away without hurting anyone's feelings.
House or apartment? When my child was 8, got 1
What was once a really cute little bunny...within 3 months grew up to be a HUGE rabbit - and the litter box was far worse than a cat using the litter box for #1. It got to be too much for apartment/condo living and so we gave it to Pet Supermarket for their weekly Sunday sales and/or giveaways but given to Pet Supermarket as a donation. We then went to cats only for condo living. Hope you have a house. 
I once came home at night to an apartment -
I used to live in, to find the front door was WIDE OPEN. (Thank goodness I didn't have any cats at the time!) I woke up the building mgr. and made him go in there with me. Turns out, while I was at work the complex's UNhandy-man had come to fix a gaping hole that had been in the bathroom ceiling for 6 months (after he'd "fixed" the leak in the upstairs shower pipes that was rotting the ceiling and causing mold to grow. It was right over the shower, so when bathing I'd have to stand right under this giant hole with cold drafts & spiders coming out of it.) Anyway, 6 months later, out of the blue he decides to come back & finish the job, so I got no 24-hour notice, and he not only left the front door wide open, he left the bathroom window wie open so the paint would dry faster. Amazingly, nothing was missing from my apartment. Another time, their gardners (who did nothing but blow leaves from one side of the complex to the other with a noisy leaf-blower) stole a couple bird-feeders I had outside my bedroom window. I'm glad I don't live there anymore!
No tree at all; apartment's too small! - (see mssg!)
(Hmmm... maybe I could......)
Hang mistletoe over, or from the PC?
Or some bright-colored lights on the kitty-cat tree?
Or dress up the rabbit-ears on my TVs,
With tinsel that shimmers and blows in the breeze?
Yeah... that sounds quite festive; it's what I will do.
And it just might improve my reception, too!
We were next door neighbors at an apartment complex.

Hydroponics is an answer for apartment dwellers.
Can grow up to six different vegetables on your kitchen counter. 
I've never lived in an apartment building that
even ALLOWED smoking, and that was 15 years ago!
Maybe she's thinking of large apartment complexes??
I would think it would be a lot harder to stop people from smoking in those types of apartments when there are maybe hundreds of apartments in a lot of different buildings like they have in big cities. I can understand not smoking in a one or two family home type apartment.
I went there for a week but never could get - sm
in the water as it was red flagged the whole time I was there. Stayed at the Oasis, very nice. Only went down to the beach once, ended up stepping on a bee, must have been one heck of a bee as it made me sick (or a reaction)--never had that happen before, luckily only for the rest of the day (2pm on), was fine the next day except for a sore foot. --I recommend Grand Cayman, great beaches, great snorkeling or scuba (the reefs there are amazing), the turtle farm is neat. Can be pricey but not too bad. I've been there about 5 x, plan on going again one of these days.
Since it has only been a week since
they were nursing, this is probably not abnormal, but it can't hurt to talk to the vet anyway. I also agree with below posters, definitely get this girl spayed. I raise show cats and this is most definitely the time of year the girls cycle the most, it is kitten season. Good luck.
The week from you know where
Not sure where to start here -- but I'll try to make this short and sweet. In a roommate situation till I can get some bills paid. Roomie sitch is a male and female couple and myself and I have a " significant other" who has lived with a male roomie for 12 years. Nothing FUNNY is going on with the roommate situation and for me, here in the Miami area, just working and "digging out of the hole" so to speak. I rent a room am able to use the house where I live.
Thursday, I ended up getting a new cell phone after BATTLING with S carrier for a month. It was a Motorola Q and while I know computers -- this thing baffled me -- Monday morning and it might be a return -GRR.
Sorry, OLD lady here and I digress -- anyway, with all the S***on Monday after being gone from my place for 3 weeks, the FEMALE roomie has done nothing but get on my case -- when I returned, unpacked, worked, and went to Long John Silvers. The rest of the week, I had frozen shrimp and used a SMALL portion of her pasta. What I did not eat was put in a plastic container and sealed in the fridge.Basically griping the whole week -- NOTE -- she does not work and her BF supports
Thursday, was on the phone with Sprint, got new phone, went to Wal-Mart and got my haircut (after about a month and a half) and back to the house. I then tried to get "new phone" working right and on with techs to very little avail, so gave it up and went to bed. SO called me Friday morning and I loaded my car to make the trip to Miami -- Friday afternoon, I get a call from the "female roomie" about the "mess I had left -- 1 plate in the sink from pasta she had made and OFFERED, the restt of the shrimp was in the fridge, and when I cook, I clean afterwards. The only thing in the sink was a plate, fork and coffee cup -- I get a call Friday and she was BALLISTIC --telling me that she wasnt my maid etc -- HELLO?
Saturday, I was busy cause the new phone didnt work right and my son and his GF flew down here to go on a cruise so not online at all -- I sign in late tonight and she had sent threats via my Yahoo account -- I really, HONESTLY think that because her "boyfriend controls her" Here again too, she has no DL -- NO car and if she dosent answer her phone, he would call my cell, but that changed when I changed my # --
I'm rambling but...is this a thing where I call the "authorities" ? I have done enough psych transcription -- BUT to get her to a hospital Im not sure what to do.
I am sooooooooo sorry that this was long but 3:45 here and I am REALLY scared of going back there tomorrow
Thanks
I saw a guy last week
who had been a teacher for a school, band and choir I think, who got the 3-X out for being "boring" or something to that effect. Not sure if he is the same guy you are looking for.
During the week, they can SM
Go to after school activities (including sports), work (very limited hours) and church. They are allowed on Friday and Saturday (I have two teens by the way) to make any plans that they want within reason of course. Sunday is for church and family dinner unless other arrangements are made WAY in advance. I have two younger ones too and they will have to abide by the same.
Good luck!
We usually eat out once a week. On the
nights I don't feel like cooking, I have frozen dinners in the freezer, soups, make grilled cheese, and I always have leftovers from the nights I do cook.
My kids love pizza, so our "eat out night" is usually Pizza Hut or Papa Murphy's takeout.
About once a week sm
She is a small poodle, less than 2 years old. She runs outside every chance she gets and gets under the deck. She also sleeps on my bed every night and I will not sleep with something that smells bad. If I enjoyed that sort of thing, I would still be married.
She has very fine, wavy poodle hair. She is oily and if she doesn't have a bath at least every 10 days, she freezes in the winter, even in her cute little sweaters. I give her a bath, let her dry in front of the faux fireplace, and brush her a bit. Next day, she is perfectly warm in her little sweaters and warmer at night too. If she goes very long, she develops so much eye snot that she can't see well. I do my own grooming and I keep her properly trimmed about every other week.
End result is: Gorgeous little apricot poodle who looks adorable and smells like flowers. No dry skin, no flaking, almost never scratches at all unless she has had to go a whole 2 weeks without a bath. This is not too frequently for this dog.
We are at 1-2 x a week, usually just on - sm
the weekends though, and usually quickies as the kids are always here......I am so tired at night that anything more than a quickie is rare and maybe once a month.--My DH is the one who initiates as my sex drive went in the toilet 10 years ago with my first pregnancy and just never came back. I still enjoy it just lost the "urge" for it I guess.
I think this week for sure it's going
to be Matt or Allison. Kris keeps hanging on because the young girls think he's hot, but I actually prefer Matt to Kris voice-wise...
I think Gokey was AWESOME last night, as usual. :)
once a week maybe.
Used to go out more but got sick of eating out. It began to taste all the same. Plus, during the summer, my husband grills out 2 to 3 times a week and it's GREAT!
also once a week....nm

WHAT A WEEK!!!!
We lost Michael, Farrah, and Ed McMahon!!! I don't follow "celebrities" all that much, but wow! I can't believe 3 in one week.
Same thing I think every week...he needs to go!
If you haven't watched tonight's AI yet, I don't want to spoil anything so don't read this if you don't want to hear anything. All I can say is...what was up with that crying little girl??? But then again, she cried when Melinda sang too so maybe she does have some taste after all!
Did not see the preview from last week.
Well that is good news to see him up and about. Hopefully that will happen today, maybe.
Yes, so sad when Nick and Sharon were screaming and then Nick trying to get back in. May be Nick and Sharon will reunite because of this. I like them together.
I am watching while I am working too. Really hard to get anything done.
In another preview from last week
we saw him sitting up. Hopefully that is a good sign. Didn't your heart just break when you saw Nick trying to run back in the building? OOOOOHHHH, I get too involved. LOL
I have for a week and a half now
I started it a week ago Sunday.. that would be the 17th. I have had absolutely no "treatment effects" as they call them. I have watched what I eat and have switched to some lower fat or no fat products, as far as like cheese, salad dressings, sour cream, things like that. I don't really eat a lot of fatty meat anyway, so that hasn't been anything to deal with. The changes have been pretty simple actually, pretty easy to make. Also with Alli, it only works around the meal that you take it with. So, if you basically want to watch your fat for most lunches and dinners, as I'm doing, you just take it for those two meals. I don't worry about it with breakfast because I usually just have cereal anyway. If you have some occasion planned, dinner out, might be having a meal with more than 15 g or so of fat, just don't take it. It is pretty simple really and if it does nothing else, it keep you honest with those meals you eat when you take it.
uh, your ankle was like that for a week before you went in
"needless to say I am still in pain"....maybe you should not have walked on it for a week without getting medical treatment for it; that is not the hospital's fault....do you see the irony of your statement?
Yep, for over a week now, in Missouri

I go to the gym 5 days a week
and I own my own treadmill, stationary bike, and some weights. I have always had a thin build and always played sports as a kid and as a teenager, and have always been very active (I'm 26 now). I guess that's how I do it. I'd go insane if I didn't work out.
I use AVG and also run spybot once a week. (nm)

She was in hospital almost a week before she had him...
Sorry I didn't mention that he took off a week before she had the baby. But yeah he has went back to work according to her mom. I think she is embarrassed about his feet but I have told her that she need not be he is a sweet adorable baby. How could someone make fun of a baby? When I do ask to speak to her her mom will say she is busy or something. I say well the baby must be really keeping her busy and her mom says no actually he sleeps most of the time. The baby was checked by the doctor and he said completely healthy baby other than the clubbed feet. I thought about dropping by but her mom had said that she just wished people would not come over. And one of my other friends "dropped" in and her mom called me and was kind of acting like they thought that was rude to come unannounced. So I don't know how to go about it. I did call during the time she has been home but her mom said her husband was off so I know she wouldn't talk. She is very strict about no phone calls when they are together. It is weird to me but she is a very good friend. But I would still call and ask her mom how her and the baby were anyway and some days her mom would call me just to chat. I don't know I kind of feel like I have lost my friend. I will have to send a card.
Sounds like us, we were in the 70s last week and
now have 3 inches of snow.
coming up soon, next week I think...
a
Mine was doing that just last week!
I was gonna toss it, because it's just this little mouse that looks like a ladybug (queer, I know, but I'm like that!). My husband is a gadget freak and took it apart, which consisted of removing 1 screw to separate the "shell." Inside it was a TON of lint that was messing up the wheel. He just blew it out and it was good to go. Might want to give that a shot before ya chuck it. This mouse is an optic mouse though, no ball on the bottom. On the old ones, you can remove the ball and clean it as well if that's the case.
I just saw those at Walgreens this week nm

Yes, I posted in regards to this last week. sm
My post, however, got deleted. I did receive an email from administration saying it was fixed and it did appear fixed for a day or two, but is now back again. VERY FRUSTRATING!@
I bought a new car a week ago...
If anyone cares. A brand new Kia Spectra. I got a great deal on it. They gave me a $2000 rebate so that meant no down payment. And they took off an additional $500 for applying for it on the internet. I love the car and it gets around 35 mpg. So that is my good news!
1K a week? wow, no wonder you remember with such sm
nostalgia! I started MT in 1984 at 4.25/hr; minimum wage. I NEVER heard of anyone making those kind of bucks!
Once I remember I had a two-week SM
check of almost $1,800.00 which included a good bonus. I was pretty fast in those days and had a lot of normals I used to pull up. I did not work full time, but about 5-6 hours a day, sometimes a litte more, I used to work some hours on Saturday mornings if my account was behind.
I'm on vacation this week, so ...
brought some movies along to catch up on. I watched 27 Dresses, which was just okay. I loved PS I Love You. Also been watching The Office with my sister and DS, and Emergency!, which aren't exactly movies, but lots of fun. It's been a great week with my family. Almost hate going back to work on Monday!
Thanks for sharing that, I'm seeing it this week with sm
my mom, sisters, and sister-in-law. I can't wait!!');>![](http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smirlove2.gif")
My daughter gets $10 a week
She watches her younger sister while I work, and she loads and reloads the dishes and is supposed to keep her room clean. On Saturdays she'll help me by doing various cleaning chores.
We just got WII fit this past week
I'm waiting for school to start so I can do it with no one home!!! Glad to hear there is a password so you can hide your weight and BMI. ;)
We bought this WII for my son last Christmas and I can honestly say it was money well spent. They have a blast with it and they aren't constantly sitting. We don't have the Guitar Hero but maybe that will be next on the list.
We have a 10-week-old boxer now...
have had a lab/mix in the past...
Sometimes you won't lose much 1 week but BAM sm
you lose a bunch the next week; sometimes it is water-weight related, other times related to your period or hormones. Some weeks I didn't lose anything, only to have a 4 lb loss the next time! Just be sure to start being active (even if it is only walking to the end of your block) and drink your water!
My first purchase was last week. sm
I hunted and hunted and finally found a Wii for my 7yo. The only problem now is what else to get him that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!
About $100 a week give or take
That's for four of us and I live in Upstate New York. My older daughter is a vegetarian so we do have to buy special food for her, but because she's the only one that eats it, it lasts a lot longer. We eat a lot of chicken and pork, but occasionally a good piece of steak. We're in the process of getting a small freezer so we can buy more frozen foods so we don't have to go shopping as much for certain things. My daughter's lunches are $2.00 a day also, but for the types of food they get there's no way I could feed her for less. We eat out once a week by ourselves with our good friends on Saturday night and at least once or twice on the weekends to either McDonald's, Arby's, Burger King, pizza, etc.
$50 a week if I send DH. $100 or more if I go
I always overspend cause there's always something on sale that I will need sooner than later. DH goes by the list and the list only.
I live in PA and there are only 2 of us now.
Normally week AFTER Thanksgiving.
