No, I won't waste a lot of time, just a little (sm)
Even if nothing else comes of it, I can leave with more peace of mind, and more equity! Thanks for the well wishes
After a while it is a waste of time...
if you are as unhappy as you state you are get out. Why would you want a man who you suspect is cheating on you? Is it financial security, insecurity or lack of motivation? Do you want to be a martyr or do you want to be an emotionally sound woman who takes charge of her life?
I do not waste my time on that,
from just the blips I get from the advertising seems trashy to me.
What a waste of time
Why on earth would you spend that much time trying to bend him to your will?
He's a grown man, not a child. If he doesn't want to take his meds, he will suffer the consequences of his stupidity & maybe get a Darwin award. I absolutely do not understand why you or anyone else would spend 7 hours arguing.
Who needs an overgrown 2-year-old? Sheez.
Probably should not waste your time being angry or
hurt - she sounds like a loser - and better to just use this as a lesson learned and not share anything with her in the future. Be the bigger person if you can and put behind you - but take a lesson from it - she is not your friend. Praying that you get your dream home! Hugs!!
I can't believe you would waste a minute of time obsessing about this.
Unbelievable!
I went to Sallys tonight, dont waste any time
in getting exactly what you suggested. The dermatologist earlier today did suggest Rogaine but I told him did not remember to use it and so that was the end of that. I killed 2 birds with that 1 stone today and wound up getting into see the endocrinologist, got my Synthroid changed to Armour, paying close attention to what everyone saying. Now how do you store the excess Fermodyl #7 as mine came in sorta long bottles and would not think I would use 1 each time. Thanks MTs buddies!!
you mis-assumed again, not bad, just a waste of good time

NightOwl, dont waste your time trying
I think she is trying to pull your leg. You can give the people standing on the street money, if you want, but work, nah most of them would run from that. Now me, I have been know to rent me a ...
I think just watching her for any length of time,
say 2 or 3 minutes and you absolutely know something is not right. She appears on a shopping channel with her jewelry and anyone can watch and see. We don't have to have anyone tell us, just watching is enough.
For the first time, I am no longer watching Idol

That dude was from another time, and he WASN'T a pregnant single woman.
sheesh
That is too funny... I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time.

Happy to share. If you've ever had Hummingbird Cake, I have been told that this is a lot like that, without the spice (I think the spice would make it more like Carrot Cake, but not sure).
Pineapple Nut Cake
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
2 eggs
2 c. sugar
2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. drained crushed pineapple
1 c. chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla 'til sugar is dissolved. Add flour, baking soda, and pineapple. Add nuts and pour into greased/floured 13 X 9 pan. Bake at 300 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 8-oz package cream cheese (softened)
1 stick butter (softened)
1-1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine all ingredients and mix well.
Hope you try it and like it! This is another thing that I could live on for days.
They have been looking for Linda at my
house for the last 7 years. The funny thing, though, she is still using MY phone number for more current bills.
LOVE your pic Linda:-) no msg
To Linda: Please see message.
I try to look at it realistically. Cystic fibrosis is a pretty serious disease, one that usually attacks babies and young children. That's the tragedy. I'm 56 years old and didn't find out until I was 53. That's something I never heard of. The majority of my life has been good and healthy. One of my docs told me that first my pancreas will destroy itself, and then I'll become diabetic, (which is why I was so interested in what the poster down a little bit where she questioned about whether I might have diabetes. Once my pancreas is "gone," then my lungs will take over, and that's what will kill me. I haven't been coughing very much in the last 3 years, but now, for about 2 weeks, I can't stop coughing.
I feel ashamed to even be griping about this, considering those poor babies and young children who get this disease and die early.
Thank you very much for the compliment, but she isn't going to change. I'm waiting for this voucher program to go into effect (I've been accepted) so I can move out. I don't have a car, and I don't even have a phone. I have to depend on her to give me messages, and it's a 50%/50% chance whether I'll get those. I figure that I lost my apartment in PA, and as I got sicker, I lost my car and then my phone. So I'm trying like heck to get a phone. There's one that I like on Cricket; I've been watching it for a few months now, and the price sometimes goes down to $9.99. Unfortunately, this isn't one of those times! Maybe a couple of soup cans and a string??
I honestly don't know why my son-in-law stays with my daughter. She treats everyone badly. She even cheated on him a couple of years ago, so he is often guarded in his relationship with her.
My parents were very dysfunctional. My father especially was physically and verbally abusive. I remember taking my mom to the doctor's office to be scheduled for surgery because she had colon cancer.
When we got back to my parents' house, my father was lying on the couch, mean as usual, and told her, "You fat b***h, there's nothing wrong with you. You just want some attention." I looked at my mom, who didn't say a word -- just silent tears streaming down her face. Then I reamed him a new one.
A week later, she was dead.
My daughter knows nothing about my diseases because she's not interested in doing any research about it. If I come home from the doctor's and try to tell her what happened, she simply isn't interested in hearing it.
One one of my more serious hospitalizations (11 days), I had pneumonia and pancreatitis, she was especially nasty. She knew if I wasn't home working, I wasn't earning anything. So she called me and asked about when I would be paying the rent because if I don't, they'll get evicted, and it will all be my fault. Then she called later in the day, SCREAMING about my 15-year-old cat spraying all over the basement and making it stink and ordered me to get rid of it that day. I had no choice but to call the Humane Society, where I know nobody would adopt a 15-year-old cat. No doubt in my mind: That cat is dead. The best part is that the "stinking up the place" wasn't even my cat because it continued after she had me get rid of it. It was one of HER cats.
She reminds me of how my father treated my mother, and I need to get out of here ASAP because she's made it clear that I'm a burden and she wants me out. I try not to be a burden. I purchase and cook my own food (I'm not allowed to eat with the family, but I prefer it the way it is.)
Oh, sheesh! I've written a novel here and didn't mean to.
Thank you again, Linda, for th e kind words. I really appreciate them.
Sorry to hear of your loss, Linda. nm

saw Paul when Linda was still alive and with him
okay - I've done a lot of concerts!
This article supports Linda's idea:

Linda Lavin? - She played Alice in the TV show "Alice." sm
the one where she worked at Mel's diner?
Linda Chavez has great articles and makes a lot of sense.
This is long but I think worth it.
As if a housing crisis, rising energy costs and a soft labor market weren't enough to cause economic anxiety for the average American, now consumers are feeling the pinch of rapidly escalating food costs. The United States has long prided itself in being the breadbasket of the world, and Americans have traditionally paid a smaller share of their income on food than citizens of other developed countries. But the days of cheap milk, bread, beef and poultry may well be over and Uncle Sam is partly to blame.
In 2007, the cost of a gallon of milk increased 26 percent; eggs went up 40 percent; and a loaf of white bread went from $1.05 to $1.28 from 2006 to 2008. Steep increases in the price of oil have contributed to these higher costs, but the federal government has played a pernicious role as well. By mandating that oil companies increase the amount of ethanol they blend with gasoline, the government has not only artificially increased the cost of corn, which is what most U.S. ethanol is made of, but has driven up the cost of other grains as well. Inflated corn prices encourage farmers to divert more acreage to corn, which means they plant less soy and wheat, which, in turn, drives the prices of those commodities up as well. The aggregate price of wheat, corn, soy oil and soy meal in the U.S. will be $61.7 billion higher in the 2007/2008 crop year than it was in 2005/2006.
Corn prices affect a host of other food prices as well. If you've ever looked at the ingredient labels on everything from bologna to canned tomato soup, you'll see that corn syrup is a common ingredient of many processed foods. Corn is also a common grain used in feed for cattle, poultry and hogs. As a result, prices for meat and poultry are going up, but even with higher prices, some companies in the meat industry still can't make a profit, and many are being forced to cut jobs and close plants. I've seen this firsthand as a member of the board of directors of Pilgrim's Pride, the nation's largest chicken producer, where we have already had to shut down one plant and close six distribution centers to cope with record losses directly attributable to soaring feed costs.
But what is most galling about the impact of government mandated ethanol production is that it does little or nothing to solve our energy problems.
Ethanol proponents argue that it is cleaner than petroleum which improves air quality and that it and other alternative fuels will reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Both claims are dubious.
Corn-based ethanol is inefficient as a fuel for automobiles, reducing vehicle gas mileage by 20-30 percent in vehicles using E85, the highest ethanol content fuel. Fewer miles-per-gallon of gas essentially eliminates any savings achieved, even by mixing ethanol with gasoline in the lower 9 percent ethanol blends required in all U.S. gasoline today. And of course, it also takes energy to produce ethanol for farming and distilling the corn and transporting the final product to the pump and much of that energy will come from carbon-based fuels.
None of these arguments has stopped the aggressive ethanol lobby from getting its way with Congress, however, and pressure increases in presidential election years as Iowa farmers encourage candidates to pledge allegiance to ethanol during the Iowa caucuses.
If ethanol really were the miracle fuel its proponents claim, you'd think there would be huge profits in producing it in the free market. But that's not the case. Consumers not only pay for ethanol at the pump, they're paying taxes as well to subsidize ethanol production in the U.S. and they're paying a hidden tax to keep cheaper, foreign sugar cane ethanol from competing with the domestic corn-based product. Subsidies to gasoline blenders amount to about 51 cents per gallon, and the government imposes a 54-cent tariff on foreign ethanol so that it can't provide a cheaper alternative for U.S. consumers.
And matters will only get worse as government mandates higher bio-fuel content in U.S. gasoline from the current 9 percent to 15 percent by 2015. Ethanol won't solve the energy crisis, but it may well lead to a food crisis in the U.S. and elsewhere. The U.S. Agency for International Development reports that the cost of providing wheat, corn, cereal and other foodstuffs to poor nations has gone up 41 percent since October 2007, which will mean we can provide less assistance to starving people around the world. Federal policy is literally diverting food from the table to the gas tank and it's time we stopped it.

If I were you I would not waste
any time going to the Police Department. I don't know if you would need proof but I don't thing the police would take something of this nature lightly. They would no doubt follow him/her around. Perhaps you could make a citizens arrest. The insurance part would not bother me but get this person off the road....fast. God forbid but it could be your family he wipes out. Please do something!!
Don't waste your $$$ on WW, you can do it yourself
that's where I went. I'm down to 110 now!
wish i had that kind of $$$ to waste

I do not buy bottled water, I think it is a waste

It's really good as it eliminiate through the charcoal also the chlorine taste.
sorry. forgot to mention Linda Chavez is in refernce to threads about high food prices.

Waste of your money. They sell you into this idea that sm
you "save" money over time, but you really don't. I'd be careful. Seriously. Heard of some bad experiences with this. Think about it. You pay ALL this money every single month like a huge loan payment and then you get to take a 2 week vacation anywhere they have resorts. Most of the time they are not flexible on dates. You know, we sat through one at Disney and I thought in the beginning, hey, this isn't such a bad idea. I get to come down here anytime I want! Yes! I will pay 500.00 a month. Where do I sign?! and then the guy looked at me and said, "Um, maam, you can come down for 1 week any time during the year for as long as you 'own' the timeshare." I almost spit my Coke all over him. No way is this a good idea.
You will never waste your money on Yankee candles again after trying these!
:-)
What a waste of good money, and what I mean by that is them winning it! lol

Extended warranties are the biggest waste - sm,
of money, and the all time scam of the century. The couple times I was d*u*m*b enough to buy one they never, never paid for themselves. I never buy them now, haven't for years and have never had a problem with any of the products I bought that offered them. Believe me the companies that offer them (just about everyone) are laughing all the way to the bank....they take in way more then they ever have to pay out for repair work/replacments, etc.
I wish I wasn't right actually.....my mom was....sm
We/they all referred to my mother as *Mommie Dearest* - she was Joan Crawford's CLONE and her mom (my maternal grandmother) was Bette Davis' CLONE. Too much pressure put on little kids to be totally organized by the age of 10.....IT'S IMPOSSIBLE and not fair to the children - because this results in stifling your children's CREATIVE ABILITIES.
Happy for you that you are facing all that you are facing to not repeat (negative) history!! Have a GREAT, GREAT weekend!!!
I wasn't trying to jab you. Something's not
you claim to have ruined credit, working 3 jobs to pay bills.
Something isn't what you're making it out to be.
In my experience, people with bad credit earned it and usually have no interest in owning up to it.
you know i saw those but I wasn't sure about them
I thought they were a knock off of Yankees...but now I will definitely give them a try!
No, I wasn't--
The post about "stole my son, you brazen hussy" brings back memories. My mother-in-law actually kicked me following the rehearsal dinner and said, "Well, you finally got him!" I checked later and my stocking was torn and there was blood on my ankle. She had made this seem like a joke, but she meant it; I knew there was a friend's daughter she had wanted to introduce her son to after he left the military--I spoiled those plans. Left my home (small town) to live in his hometown (Atlanta) and never felt accepted by his mother or any of his friends, who treated me like a backwoods hick.
It's no wonder we divorced about 10 years later. My daughter is lucky that her in-laws were so accepting of her.
Wasn't in the least bit mean.
It was a simple question. You don't sound like you REALLY want any of them and I personally don't think that splitting siblings up like that is a good idea. If there is a home out there for all of them together, I hope they get it.
Never said he wasn't a pig...
he is one too. Water seeks its own level...jealous, no, just truthful. The woman is as much to blame as the man in this situation. She is a prostitute, he is a john. There is much more to life than using one's attributes to get ahead. If you had a daughter who was beautiful would you encourage her to use her "talents" and become an "escort"?
So maybe it wasn't
LOL Glad I asked. Something about putting dandruff shampoo on the face didn't seem right.
I am almost 30 and have had it since about 14. I took accutane and had great skin for about 10 years, now its slowly creeping. I'm preggers so not sure if its the hormones contributing or not but I don't want to take accutane again. I have tried proactive and just about everything out there and nothing helped except the accutane. I'll give this a shot. I have seen the Apricot Scrub in wal-mart but have never tried it.
Oh, if you have one or two problem spots that you want to get rid of quickly, Clean and Clear Persa Gel works great. If I know I have a special event coming up I will use that daily for the week or 2 prior and it helps a lot. It clears up any problem within 2 days but within the first day the redness is completely gone.
I think he is doing his job and watching over you.
Can you honestly believe that in the face God, whom you supposedly worship at church and live for, it is okay to portray and celebrate evil or anti-God anything?
If you do, then you really need to visit your preacher today.
As for watching...sm
I think it's because they wouldn't pay much attention to the teacher:-) I sat right outside the door with the other moms and talked, and we could pretty much hear everything. I know there are pricier places that allow you watch on a TV screen, which would be neat. That's not a bad price for the costume if that's what it'll be! Thanks for responding!
Not really into it, but watching it anyway.
Why oh why do I keep watching??? (sm)
Please, if they let Taylor and Nick's baby be Brooke's egg....I'll scream! Can it get any more ridiculous than that? I guess it can though, I mean having the ex-wife of your present husband/daughter of your husband's ex-wife/woman who once carried your husband's child but miscarried artificially inseminate you...come on now, too whacked for me! But I do keep watching...
I'm nor sure after watching exactly (sm)
what to think. I never did follow the story very closely. I don't believe she is much of a speaker, but after the life she says she led, that is not surprising. What mainly caught my attention and really annoyed the bejeebers out of me is Oprah's attitude. To me it seemed so obvious that she wasn't "buying" any of it, and I'm glad the lawyers called her on her remark at the end of the show. I don't care much for his parents, not sure why, but I don't, just a feeling. I hope she gets her kids back.
DH was watching it...
He wanted a cuda' for his b-day on Monday. Yeah, honey. You betcha'!
Watching AI
I watched it periodically last night. We were at my father-in-law's for his 80th birthday. Maybe it was because I didn't see everyone, but I didn't like this group at all. There was no one I was interested in watching. I did like I think three out of the ones that I saw, but like I said I don't think it helped that I really get a chance to sit down and really watch it. I'm just waiting for the competition to really start. It seems like it's dragging this year with the way they're doing things.
Ya all watching ER.
Sniff, Sniff. Not sure what I'm gonna do without it. Last episode is pretty good so far. Sniff, sniff.
No, it's okay! I wasn't upset or anything,
just was confused when I couldn't find it. I wanted to post all that so hopefully anyone having these problems could maybe try the same thing.
Firefox is letting me into every site I use though, so crossing my fingers it continues.
Thanks for the tip about the degfrag. I haven't done it and will. :)
Can't believe he wasn't even in the bottom three! nm

Joy said she wasn't doing much, so he made up for it

Well if it wasn't for this grandmother
There would be no wedding. Grandmothers are the "chiefs" of our tribes so to speak. I hope the best for this young couple, but it sounds like they're being childish. Let the grandmother invite some people, unless their felons.
ok, said I wasn't posting again, but...
 BRAVO...excellent post...I was practically jumping outta my seat reading your post...THANK YOU..and thank your daughter personally from me for giving so much of herself and caring so much for the otherwise unfortunate children out there. Her students are blessed beyond measure and she will surely be richly rewarded for her hard work and dedication to these children...again........... to you and your daughter (you are undoubtedly an AWESOME mother!)
