Sorry I know its not funny especially for you. That is totally disgusting. They sound like the nieghbors we had in Reno, but they didn't have pets - it was their stinking food and stuff they left all over. Why do people live like such nasty ho's. Well we may not have the dog poo but they did do something with their back yard and fertilizer and it really stinks and now we are infested with flies here. I won't call Animal control because they really are not cruel to their dog, they just let it bark all the time then it goes inside once it gets dark out. They do play with their dog too (its constantly getting loose and they are running up and down the street yelling for it - dog comes back). None of our neighbors have their dogs tied up, they just let them roam free. I like the solution that Jim Carey did in a movie called Me, Myself and Irene when he kept telling his neighbor to stop letting the dog poo on his lawn. He went over to his neighbors lawn and took a dump on it in broad daylight while the neighbor watched. I thought that was hysterical. Well sounds like you needed to vent more than I did. I'll count myself lucky reading about you. Four years probably seems like forever to you too. Wish you best.

Marie, your post says it all about you.
And where your values lie. Watch out where you point that finger, you have 3 pointing back at you.
Thanks, after reading your post...sm
I decided I am going to call and speak with the manager first. Yes, I was supposed to go back to the same girl today but I changed my mind. I am going to explain the situation to the manager and ask if I can come in another day when this hairdresser is not there for a fix by someone else.
After reading your post and all of the other
posters' comments, I would give you the following advice...
Tell your friend 'A' that HE is alwlays welcome into your house, but SHE is not.
If 'A' invites you and your husband into a restaurant and SHE will be present, decline. You BOTH have to decline, this counts also for your husband.
If 'A' is alone, you both can accept the invitation.
Are you reading what you post?
You're complaining about someone else's grammatical mistakes and then when someone points yours out to you, you become defensive. I'd worry more about getting kicked out the meeting for your rudeness than getting banned from an anonymous board. Imagine how that poor woman must have felt being corrected by you, most likely in front of others. No matter how "nicely" you may have worded it, it was rude, and even though she didn't seem to notice your rudeness, I'm sure others did. You seriously said "balls" in a meeting to her? What were you thinking?
Here is what comes to my mind after reading your post.
Are you sure you are not favoring one child over another and he senses this or is imaging it - that would be difficult to articulate for a child. Being a first born, he may have been center of attention for a while and then had to share it to his siblings - always hard on a child. If he does not have a disorder that is chemically induced, I would consider that as tantrums are an attempt for attention. Communication is the answer. I'd suggest one on one events with this child alone on a regular basis. You will gain his trust so that he can express what is making him so frustrated. I feel for you. I watch the nanny shows and am always amazed at how difficult life is in a house when the family is unable to live in harmony due to out of control children. You'll have to not stop until to find a solution, for everyone's sake. Good luck to you, mom.
A couple of you are NOT reading my post
So the end to this request for advice.
I DID NOT SAY I HAD THE DEGREES. Obviously, you are not a good MT or anything else, as you don't read/pay attention. BYE, got my answer. Have a great life!

In reading my post over, I just realized...
She probably didn't mean anything by it, but if it was meant to be rude, why should I even waste my time on the negativity? I have more important things to spend my time on :) I guess I just posted to help me feel better at the time because I was a little upset as I was surprised and didn't really understand it. Anyway, it isn't really worth my time and shouldn't really matter, and negative people really aren't worth time and energy I don't have to spend on them. Time to go back to work :) Goodnight....
I do not live in Texas but after reading your post, let me say
you do NOT have to have sex in order to get cervical cancer. I personally do not feel this is a message for kids to have sex. I have a daughter who is older, out on her own and she would have to make her own decision regarding this. If when she was growing up IF she had come to me and said she wanted birth control, knowing this was probably what was going to happen, i would have taken her to get this. I would much rather have a child on birth control that have a bunch of kids brought home to me to have to support and care for. I had my children and raised them, didn’t need any more. You can talk to children regarding this but eventually most will make up their own minds as to what they want to do, not their parents.
Oops, sorry, I dozed off as I was reading your post.

catching up on reading the board and had to post
In response to the hub-bub about the illegal residents of our country and their lack of interest in learning to speak English - Just a few days ago, my kids got off the school bus and came running in the door in a panic. One picks up the phone and starts dialing like crazy while the other proceeds to tell me what was going on.
A girl who lives up the road has severe asthma. While she was on the bus, she started having an asthma attack and her inhaler was empty. The kids were all trying to tell the bus driver that there was a problem and that the girl needed help.
Turns out they had a substitute bus driver that day. This guy speaks very little English and was yelling at the kids over and over again, "Must Go. Must Go," and continued with his route, completely ignoring the fact that there was an obvious medical emergency on board his bus.
So my kids could not reach the girls parents by phone (busy) and since she still had a long, uphill walk after her bus stop, it was 7 degrees out (not helpful for an asthma attack,) and was in distress when my kids got off the bus, we hopped in the car and went to get her to take her home.
By the time we got to her, she was white as a ghost, purple lips, and about ready to pass out. Her brother was practically dragging her. Got her in the car and took her to her house where her dad met us.
Makes me wonder how can a school employee NOT speak or at least understand English well enough to be able to handle situations like this? What if she had lost consciousness on the bus or worse. Sounds to me like he would have continued on with his route and maybe done something about it after he got back to the bus garage?
You are reading a post, no emotion, no inflection,

After reading your most recent post I understand where you are coming from better (sm)
You are in a very difficult position...I feel bad for you and both of the children. It is tough to say what would be better. Being taken from your parents would be very traumatic for children as well. There must be some sort of child care they can find that they can afford.
I started reading your post and was thinking Louisana
before you ever got to mention your state. You know the food there is different than our other southern states, such as the gumbo and such. I always called Cokes "cold drinks." I have dinner and my father always tried to correct me to supper but I have dinner at my home even though in the deep south. I do not know the donuts you speak of. My daughter says she can hardly pass KK when the hot light is on. I think in Louisana so much is Cajun cooking and here in Georgia very little of that goes on. I have never tasted but might if I make it over there.
Reading your post it is clear the love you gave this wonderful animal SM
thoughout her life. You were together for many years and you gave her a wonderful life. Please try to always remember that. A woman who cleaned for my mom cleaned my apartment once and when I showed her a dog collar that I have that my darling Westie wore I broke down. This woman knew my Westie and loved her, too. I cried and said I had some feelings of guilt that I was dealing with. This wonderful woman said something to me that might help you now. She said
"Just think of the life you gave her. Now think of the life she might have had if she had fallen into the hands of someone who did not love her." That really helped me a lot. I hope in time it will help you, too. God Bless you.
THANK YOU MARIE!!!
I spoke on this a few weeks back when some 36 year old guy went on a rant with his parents (a topic posted by someone here, can't recall who)..this guy was whining about his life and it was his parent's fault, etc...I too was brought up in the time when as a child if you did something wrong - you were punished for it, and believe me, I received my fair share of spanikngs, etc. It didn't kill me but one thing it did teach me - that there ARE LIMITS and if you cross the boundary established by your parents - you had understand that there are CONSEQUENCES; which sadly many kids this day and age do not have. I am a believer in the scripture 'spare the rod and spoil the child' and unfortunately it has come to pass with the fact that you cannot discipline your children as you deem appropriate for fear of running afoul of the law, and these kids are smart enough to know this and use it at times against their parents because they don't want to listen. I had written a few weeks ago about a good friend of mine who had a twelve year old daughter who went to school and lied on her mom; said her mom beat her, etc. My friend was arrested at work, had to go to court, the kid was taken by CPS - it was awful. My friend did spank her daughter but did NOT BEAT her, no marks on her at all. This kid did this to her mom because her mother would not allow her to 'hang out' with older kids (16/17 year olds), so this kid makes up this story because she didn't get her way and do what she wanted. The parents were separated, so the kid was sent to live with her dad and she tried the same stunt on him but it didn't work. It's sad that we live in fear of our own children in this day and age.

Dancing with the stars! Yep, she did. Did you see her pass out? I could not believe what I was seeing. Live TV, you just never know what is going to happen. She was not real chipper and bubbly like normal afterward. Glad it turned out OK.
Hey Marie - I don't know where to get the icons
They do make the post much more fun to read. I always see people putting little funny icons in but I don't know where to find them.
You are right on about the hicks. There are just a few things in this life I don't understand.
1. Why aren't people considerate of their neighbors.
2. Why don't people love their pets like we love ours and take care of them the truly decent way.
3. Why there are so many criminals. I just want to scream "hello out there - you need to wake up and live like the rest of us - making an honest life for yourself. If it's not yours don't take it.
Okay, the list could go on and on but am too tired right now. Thanks for the funny little smiley things.
Sounds like Marie on Everybody Loves Raymond. nm
Marie is probably a lot nicer though.
Marie's dead doll dance . . .
I kept on waiting for her to "start up", you know, come alive and start really dancing. Especially when he wound her up with the key, I thought the routine would really start. It was the oddest thing.
little bit country, little bit rock and roll Donnie or Marie
!
Too many people felt sorry for Jane & Marie and gave them votes ..
so they wouldn't be eliminated, figuring the other dancers were too good to be eliminated. I agree it's too much of a popularity contest and not a dancing competition. On "Skating with the Stars" I think it was Kristy Swanson who fell in love with her teacher/partner, and he left his wife for her and now the two have a baby together.
You wish,,,, ROFL. You can say anything

ROFL!
I'm sorry but that was just too funny. I'm not buying into this whole Michael faked his death BS. Come on. Elvis died and now Mike is gone....get over it.
yep - a Goddess *ROFL*.....sm
but seriously, I always think our consciences are our G_D!! That conscience that tells us right from wrong, that conscience that makes us make a correct decision...........that G_D is within each and every one of us.............
Not from a bunch of men (women had no real say back then) who interpreted what G_D might have been trying to say and then put their own *slant* on things........
who knows? nobody! We can only surmise and ponder and become philosophical about it all....
well, except for those darn fanatics.........*LOL*
probably!!! *rofl* - too funny
  
ROFL! Good one! nm

ROFL! I confess, its still me too...
I can't help it. I hate when I am just about to do it and then who ever is nagging me mentions it again. NOW I have to wait a respectable period of time until it becomes MY idea once more, and if the nagger keeps nagging this can go on for quite some time, heh
ROFL Hayseed you are something else!
You always make me laugh. Thank you!

ROFL, that was good, Robin, I was thinking the same thing but.....sm
you have articulated it so much more colorfully than I ever could,what a hoot, even though it is such a sickening story. Man, did this woman EVER have any self-respect, self-esteem, to say nothing of self-discipline and brains? Total sociopath, puts the "ICK!" in SICK!!
ROFL, hey Tech, still got knots on your head, bet she did scream at you...sm
but not in a good way. Your humor makes me laugh! Hope your wife didn't stay mad long. Another good mark for you, at least you didn't lie or omit that you're married. Hey use some of that money you saved from the butler and buy your wife some flowers to replace that frying pan she's chasing you around with 
Keep up the great jokes though, you make this board what it's supposed to be, fun!
If I'm reading right
then it makes perfect sense to me. He does not, no how, no way, no matter what happens, want anymore children. She "would not mind" having more children, but is willing to not have more children because of his wishes. However, should something happen, God forbid, to her husband or their marriage, she potentially would like to have more children.
Not sure why she wants him to have a vasectomy, but if I did read it right, it is his best insurance policy (short of abstinance) to ensure he does not get what he does not want. However, you are correct that there are other ways to avoid pregnancy, but sounds like the OP just wants her husband to be happy (by not getting what he does not want).
OP, I do agree with the posting that suggested you should not have scheduled this for him while he is of the mind set of not wanting to have it done. My husband just did have it done (our youngest child is 10 years old). After our youngest child was born, without my suggesting it, hubby had said that he would have it done because he felt that it was the right/fair thing to do. After all, I had gone through the two pregnancies/childbirths/breastfeeding, etc. While I appreciated the sentiment, he did not follow through with it until he HAD to. He had a varicocele that was causing referred pain up under his arm, which prompted him to see the family doc, who did not diagnose the varicocele, but after attempting to clear an "infection" (a "knot" in his testicle) with a couple of rounds of antibiotics, eventually he referred to a urologist.
I have not been able to take hormonals for years due to headaches and other problems associated with them, and had had an IUD placed, but had to have it removed the following day, so we had been using condoms for most of the 10-year time period (and even THAT did not prompt him to go ahead and have it done, after it was his idea to do it -- men can be such babies . . . LOL).
Because of the varicocele, he had to be put under and the surgery was a little more extensive than the normal, in-office procedure, and hubby has come through just fine. Yes, there is pain involved, but I imagine there was a little bit of pain involved with birthing your babies. I think he should "be a man" and just do it.
you might be reading too much into this
I have two daughters currently undergoing orthodontia treatment and their docs (brothers) either call us that night to see how they are feeling after their treatment or send a personal note. Just very friendly, caring orthodontists. They also have an office full of pretty young ladies and are both married with a bunch of kids and lovely wives. They are just very nice guys.
Could be that your orthodontist is just trying to be a nice guy. Don't embarrass yourself by reading too much into what could be an innocent effort to make your treatment time more enjoyable.
