Clothes lines
We have fixed our own dryer half a dozen times, so we have a back up clothes line. One is in the house and one on the back porch. Unmentionables stay in the house. Wait for the reaction when they use that first scratchy towel for real snobbery!
I think once disgust happens, lots of therapy is needed to feel love again. Lots

I was thinking more along the lines
poo maybe?
I'm curious to see what this really does mean.. LOL. First thing that came to my warped mind.
I was actually thinking along the same lines...
And Julianne is only 19!!! Don't know how old Helio (sp?) is, but I'm sure he's much older than that, considering he and his GF had been together for 6 years...that's a long time to throw away, she did it for some good reason, I'd think.
It's all in the name of TV ratings and money, that's it. I did notice in the beginning of the show (disclaimer: I quit watching after Sabrina went home) that Jenny was very uncomfortable with her partner pawing at her and somewhat reluctant to get into the dances and be all sexy. I think she made the comment about doing that kind of stuff with her partner and his being so much younger than her, and the fact that she's a mom.
And I agree with the poster that said it's a hard job raising moral kids in an immoral world, I'm struggling with that very thing too. All we can do is pray, pray, pray!
This article is along the same lines...
I read this a short time ago and thought it was interesting: http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/Extra/VictoriasSecretBossWereTooSexy.aspx?page=all

Wouldn't this be along the same lines
of forcing a student to take a urine drug test? Isn't that illegal? Whether she's pregnant or not is none of the school's business, unless it is a private school and it is specifically written in the contract that they can test for pregnancy without parental permission (which I highly doubt!). That counselor should lose his job and the school should have to make monetary restitution for the child's suffering.
How can any school official be that stupid to think they're not going to be sued over it?
Sometimes age crosses over the lines
You are saying no one's business but actually it can be a court's business. There are laws that protect older citizens, seniors, from younger people coming in and swindling them out of money. So, it can be other's business. I have been there as the daughter of a man who, before it could get to court, was taken for over $150,000 that we could count. That does not count the money a nurse's aide got out of him (she used to care for the man's wife, younger) and took him for some money also. That is the court's business.
Thinking along the same lines
I can't sell my house at the moment (too much competition from foreclosures), so I thought I'd buy the land now & build when I sell. When I started checking into financing I found that financing land is harder, lots of times they want to see a building plan and will only finance for 5 years, by which time you are supposed to be ready to convert to a construction loan & start building. I can't really guarantee I'd be ready by then, plus the interest rates are a lot higher for land than for homes, so that kind of killed that idea. My next thought was to refi my house, get enough cash out to pay cash for the land, which is still something I might do. Interest rate would be lower & no deadlines. In terms of what to build, I've also thought about some sort of kit home or modular. The idea of buying something with an existing modular on it is a good one because the utilities would already be in place. Another thought I had is moving my house! I think it would be easier to sell my empty lot than to sell it with the house. Or buying land with a beat-up fixer on it -- at least the utilities would be in place. I could scrape the house & start over but wouldn't have to worry about water, etc. Yet another possibility: I'm seeing lots of unfinished homes; people who ran out of money before the home was finished. Some good bargains there, unless the permits have all expired.
I'm not worried about electric since I plan on having off-grid solar, but internet access is an issue. Start googling "broadband by zipcode" & that sort of thing to find websites that will give you all the ISPs for a certain area.
These days it might actually be cheaper to find something already built, even if it's a scraper, than to build your own, & a lot less hassle. I'm still looking at all the options.
I was thinking along those lines also. sm
Also, maybe he has urine stones. Males are more prone than females. Why, I don't know.
My old cat was trying to pee in the plants, in the laundry basket, where ever the urge hit. I had no clue what was going on but took him to the vet. The vet literally put in a Foley and a little bag. I was in shock when I saw it. Who would have thought leg bags for felines.
Anyway, he gave me some antibiotics and another pill, a week's supple of Hills Science Diet, and within a week he was back to normal.
I now keep them all on Iams. It is more expensive but they don't eat as much and I have not had any urinary tract problems in over 5 years.
i would say something along teh lines of how you are sorry for the things that has happened to him w
but you cant. adn the important thing now is, that he has his own children that watch and learn from his actions and that if he would like to break the chain...he needs to start acting differently towards them. he isnt going to be able to take back or change things for himself, but he can change things for his children which they will carry with them onto their children... he needs to show them the better way to have a merry christmas by "acting it".---my opinion. (comes from experience,..children dont always need to know the truth about every detail...they learn more from actions)
But they can say I need xx reports/lines in 24 hours.

I'm not even motivated by the lines anymore! (sm)
I have done this work for about 11 years. At first I loved it. I still do love it in a way...I mean I would not mind doing it every once in a while LOL! But I just can't stay focused on it anymore. And I have been having anxiety and panic too and trouble sleeping. I think it is because we don't use our bodies or brains in a normal way and things start malfunctioning. LOL! I don't know! I just know it's making me nuts to keep sitting here all day every day! I got a chance to go with a friend today to walk, have lunch and go shopping. The pure ecstatic feeling I got just at the thought of taking a walk in the daylight and eating lunch out was amazing. That's kind of a problem....it's not that exciting!
From a man's point of view on same sex lines
He told me just this morning most guys do not want to be on chat lines with other guys, do not want to even see things like that nor talk about it even. He says most guys he knows shy away from anything even resembling gay issues, no magazines, no chat lines, nothing. He works at a trucking firm and he says never hears other discussing subjects like this. He thinks there is more than just the chatting going on. This is from my man's point of view.
Reading between the lines and I understand
what you have said. There was nothing at all wrong with what I said. When you point a finger as some do here, don’t they understand more fingers are pointing back at them?
Lots and lots of SKATING ! - sm
Mostly inline street skating, up & down hills, too. Some roller skating and roller-disco. I was doing ice-skating, but can't afford it anymore, plus I prefer to skate outdoors. It works all muscles, is low-impact, fairly quick to learn compared to other sports, like skiing, is a cheap sport, and excellent for keeping balance & reflexes sharp. Most of the people I skate with look & act 10-20 years younger than their chronological ages.
I MAKE the time to skate. I eat my lunch at my desk, but take a break in the late afternoon before it gets dark, to exercise. This can also include a walk or jog around the neighborhood, bike ride into town to go to the market (cheaper than driving), a fast inline skate around town, or dance practice on a local tennis court. Then I work into the evening for as long as it takes to finish up.
Grocery Store Check Out Lines
I can't stand people who go into the line that says 10 or less items and have double or triple that.
Ever notice that if you do 2000-3000 lines a day...sm
that people don't want to believe you? I transcribe 2800-3000 lines a day in an 8 hour shift, 65 character line. I've been in the business 27 years, type 150 wpm and pretty much keep up with the dictators speed. Some folks try to accuse me of sneaking in lines outside of my shift to make myself look good... but these are people that typically type 60-80 wpm, stop every few minutes to take care of kids, neighbors deliveries, etc. and wonder why they can't meet minimum production standards.
400 lines per hour? You need to teach me a few things! LOL nm

Cat in clothes
I would love to see a photo of that! I love kitties. I have a big fat fluffy one of my own, but she is not one to be dressed up.
clothes - fun
I know how you feel! I start inhouse training for 3 months in a week and have one (1) acceptible outfit to wear! Having been MTing at home for so many years I am down to grungies and caftans...so I'm joining you in a shopping splurge, only I do not have a gift card :(
Best wishes for having a great time in the higher-learning institution. You're going to be sooo smart!
Aw, I really like to try clothes on.
I hate to return stuff.
I can never get clothes to fit, either.
I buy petite for my 5' 3" frame, but both the arm and leg lengths are still too long. I have to roll the elastic waist over 1 or 2 times or else the waist band is touching my bra. 
As for the arm length, it does come in handy when it's cold out. Just pull the sleeves over my hands. No need for gloves. LOL
My father was 6 feet tall but my mom was only 5 feet tall and weighed a whopping 96 pounds. She would wear petite small and still had to hem her slacks. I always wanted to be 5 feet 7 inches when in high school, but my wish wasn't granted.
My 14 yo wants clothes but..
I don't dare pick them out myself because she would hate them. She goes shopping (with her older sister) at the mall and puts clothes on hold and several different stores. I go later in the day,with her list of stores, and pick out what I like best, wrap them and put them under the tree. She gets what she really wants, but doesn't know exactly what she is getting. Works well for us.
teen clothes
For boys (my younest son is almost 16) - American eagle is hugely popular around here. My son also likes Abercrombie but they are so ridiculously expensive. Dockers shorts - lots of good shorts at Kohl's if you have one near you. Also if he has a favorite band/bands - order some of their graphic T shirts online, let him express his personality. Kids that age love those kind of T shirts.
School clothes
Since I'm returning to school next week, I went to Kohl's to use a gift certificate I've had since Christmas. My excuse for buying clothes is that I'm going to be a college girl now, and school means clothes shopping, right?
I'm down to a size 10, and many things actually looked nice. Of course I was trying to follow suggestions from "What Not To Wear," which is a show that does give good guidelines. I even found a nice looking pair of jeans. One shirt I put on was adorable ... but more appropriate for a 20-something than a 40-something. It's hard to say exactly why, maybe the puffy sleeves. But I splurged and got 10 pieces, so that was really fun. Poor DH had to break out the charge card, but hey, at least it was Kohl's, where you get a lot for your money. Plus we had the gift card.
I feel better now that I have my shopping fix.
just trying on clothes in the store -- you can get it
The nurse at our health dept said the bug lives many many days on objects - even clothing.
And yes, you can, if you have a reduced immune system, or even just a little scratch or something -- you can catch MRSA from someone who had a sore who tried on the clothing before you.
You can try on a pair of slacks and if you have a skin opening, you are set to get it.
So many people who come in where I work, think they have a pimple and so many are in the gluteal, buttocks region -- never in the mucosal part of the vaginal/labia area -- have never seen the bug go there interestingly enough -- but in the crease of the buttocks or even on the buttocks......or on the legs, arms, even the face.
People think they have pimple or a bug bite.
And they spread it through a family by sharing towels etc
lol...those are my work clothes too...
nm
Yeah, I have to run out and get the clothes - sm
off if he is cutting the grass, or if they are still wet I tell him he has to wait and do it later or the next day. My other problem is the dogs, my lab loves to rub herself through the clothes hanging low enough, usually the towels, yuk.
I have seen clothes that were like size....sm
20-something. I thought any store that carries plus sizes would carry up to very large sizes. At least that is what I thought. Maybe I am wrong.
comfy clothes
For me it's cotton pajama pants and my oversized Big Dog T shirts and slippers. If I'm planning on going out and running errands or if I'm working at my itty bitty outside job that day then I dress in "real people" clothes, but if I have a long day of sitting and typing ahead of me, comfort is the key.
I live alone. I might be more inclined to pretty myself up if I had hubby coming home at the end of the day, but my cats don't care what I look like as long as the food bowl stays filled.
Do your dogs wear clothes?
little doggie sweaters or hats or boots?
mine don't. I had a dog once that I tried to put a sweater on but I lost.
My kids mostly got clothes, which they really needed sm
My son't (17) fav gift was a 20.00 indoor remote control helicopter. He has had so much fun with it. When my daughter (14) was shopping for a cousin she saw a Doodle Bear and went on and on about how much she loved hers when she was younger. DH got her one (I didn't even know about it) and that was was her fav. gift.
Wear your clothes more than once before washing or
I wear jeans, khakis, and dress shirts at least 2 or 3 times before I wash them. They key with dress shirts is wearing an undershirt. Some of you may think it’s gross, but your clothes will not fade as quickly and you’ll spend less on detergent and dry-cleaning bills.
I love my clothes line
Nothing like hanging out sheets on a windy day, besides that it saves energy. Aren't we all supposed to be doing our bit to save energy??
Can You Wear Cheap Clothes?
and they look good on you?
I was just thinking about my deceased mother and she sometimes would say about someone "I wish I could wear cheap clothes like her!"
Ironically - one of the best fitting/looking blazers my mom ever bought was from Walmat and was on a clearance rack for $7.99. (orig price wasn't all that much higher)
It sounds like a catty insult/put down, but my sister says it too about her friend, and it's not said with any kind of malice - she just wishes she could buy cheaper clothing that fits well and looks good too and save the money.
There are as good looking clothes for + size as
for the smaller sizes. Check out the shopping channels, QVC and HSN, same price for small and then the +sizes. No reason for looking tacky and wearing clothing 4 sizes too small, just none at all, sorry.
favorite work clothes
My SpongeBob PJ pants or soft flannel PJ pants and a T-shirt (or sweat pants if I feel like getting "dressed").
Favorite clothes for work
Sleep pants or sweat pants and a sweatshirt in the winter and light weight sleep pants, shorts and a t-shirt in the summer.
designer clothes/shoes
I, for one, cannot tell designer shoes or clothes unless the designer's label is on the product. I, however, do know ugly when I see it and those shoes are fugly!
clothes, shoes, purses, etc...........
Believe me, a lot of women do this.
Do you buy always expensive stuff?
Or are you reasonable?
Do you have a daughter that could wear those?
If not, instead of giving them away to charity, send them to me, as a gift, I would wear them!
I am 5Ƌ", size Misses 12-14.
Shoes 7-1/2.
LMAO !
I got tons of clothes and toys. I always hit Walmart,
Toys-R-Us and JC Pennys for those things. I also went to Pac Sun and got me some jeans (2 for less than the price of 1). I never go for electronics. I figure what you are trying to save for 1 item, you loose by missing out on all the other small things. I did get gaming things though, basically any electronics I do not have to stand in line for, like Walmart has you do. For instance, if you bought a PS2 game at Toys-R-Us, you get a wireless controller for 5 bucks, normally 20. I got a game and the controller for 10 bucks.
If you feel good, like how you look in and out of your clothes, and are active, be

I was not out buying designer clothes or stuff for myself - sm
in my case it was "we", mainly him, spent way more than we make. Everytime one of his cards got a large balance (he never looked at the statements and I pay the bills) I would tranfer it over to one of my cards, which again he never looked at, and I had a P.O. Box for--so in my case it was very, very easy to do, and with paperless statements today even easier. We had a lot of things happen in our life over the past 4 years which made the money/credit card issue much worse, easily added $40K onto it (at $89K now)--family death, serious child illness--still dealing with that some--, job loss on my part, private school tuition ($12K a year---no longer go there for the last 2 years), inability to pay bills and heavily borrowed on cards----d-u-m-b I know. So don't be so quick to judge, it is not always so black and white. Yes I did get a few things I should not have, but I know during some of this time I was depressed though not horribly so but enough so as to buy a few things I never should have, but for 95% of it it was my DH never denying himself anything (though he would have if he'd known, and now he is --granted not too happy about it---one tiny concession he has made is only 9 beers a day, down from 12, so maybe he can get 3 days out of a case of beer instead of 2.) So my days of robbing Peter to pay Paul are over. We plan to have an open book when it comes to finances once his are paid off, and mine are enrolled with a debt management plan--- then only use his cards for gas, and work stuff basically--I won't have any as they will all get destroyed and cancelled in the DMP, and will use my debit card for everything --which I do now anyway, so it won't be a huge change for me. I don't think she is lamenting, just realizing what a horrid mess she has to deal with, it is hard, and I have to deal with my DHs comments for years to come, he did a few zingers last night. I will be okay though and have to pay the piper, it is worth it not having to go through a nasty divorce and custody fight as I know it would not have been pretty.
Macys has nice slection of clothes 14+.

Well, if someone didn't buy their shoes/clothes, employees

I'll take outside clothes line any day over dryer
I've been beggin hubby to put a clothes line in since the 80s. The natural air drying smell is nothing to be compared with an inside dryer. Alas, he doesn't see my point. He thinks I don't have time to hang clothes out....but I did in the 70s and now there's only 2 of us. Once and done, not 3 loads in the dryer.
Downey fabric softener should help with the stiffness? I wouldn't know since I have to use a dryer, and even DH likes rough towels, not soft, so why does he complain about outside lines? Don't ask me ....oh, wiat! Could it be because I pay the utilities? LOL
